2 of my fender skirts on my 2016 21BHS are broken. Has anyone had to replace any and if so where did source them? Thanks.

Quote from: ammobob on February 06, 2023, 02:33:37 PMBeen a long time since i have been here. Spent last 4 years fighting knee replacement surgeries. Anyway my lead acid battery on my 2016 21BHS is shot and i am looking to go lithium. We do not boondock and generally use full hook-ups. Any thoughts on a drop in battery and/or the need for a converter?

Good to see a post from you again! Welcome back. David's advice is right on. I would only add that I see Reno has both Costco and Sams Club. Costco sells Interstate and Sams Club sells Duracell. Both are good brands and both have excellent return policies. I've used group 27 AGM marine/deep cycle Duracell batteries from Sams Club and they've lasted since 2014. The cores are getting valuable, so be sure to take the old one in for recycling.

So had an Interstate from Costco but only got 4 years out of it. Pulled it from the camper when not in use and kept it on a tricke charger. Checked the fluid levels regularly. So that being said how did you get one to last from 2014?

Quote from: Merlin on February 04, 2023, 06:09:07 PMWe got our big U.S. map out at lunch today in the depths of Michigan winter and scoped out a 14 state, 6000 mile, month-long camping trip west. Most likely largely in September. We've stuck close to home the last 3 years and it will be fun to hit the road again. Our extended stays are probably in Utah, California, Oregon, and Colorado. Before then the camper gets some overhaul, with new batteries and a new heat pump A/C.

Headed to Utah and Page AZ March 19-28. Hitting Canyonlands and Arches B4 heading to Antalope Valley at Page AZ then back to Bryce Canyon/Zion and Great Basin in NV on way home.

Spent a week at Klamath CA last year. Great coastal area and plenty of Redwoods.

Thanks David! I appreciate the advice.

Quote from: DavidM on February 06, 2023, 02:57:23 PMWhy go through the aggravation and expense of switching to Li If you never boondock? Replace the bad battery with a similar one, or for no maintenance switch to an AGM. Much cheaper and easier and works fine with your existing converter.

DAVID

thanks David. Suspected i might be told to go that way. Any thoughts on a good AGM battery or brand?

Very good news that things are clearing up with your hubby and you both will be able to get back on the Road soon. Glad to hear from you too. Hope to meet up with you both in the coming years once we get back on the road again ourselves.

Thanks to Graham for digging this up. This was posted by Dan on the old forum:
==================
We get a lot of questions concerning touch-up paint.  Livin'Lite is unique in our color offerings across the different product lines.
Sooner or later you're going to get a scratch on your camper and may wonder if touch-up paint is available.

Touch-up paint is available for Livin'Lite products through Rollie Williams Paint Spot. Located in Elkhart Indiana at 1179 Kent Street Tel: (574) 264-3174.

You will need to know the color of your camper.  It should be on the bill of sale or title.

Just an FYI I went to our local RV repair shop and the brought out a color gun and made me an exact match to the color of my 21BHS. Did some touch up and can't tell the difference.

Finally made it out for a week camping. Decided to hit the beach instead of our usual campgrounds. Got a spot right on the beach which is nice.
So far it's been great. Will fill in the trip once we get a few days under our belt.

Merlin I still owe you pics of the house. Have not forgotten this just waiting for better weather and landscaping to get done.

Merlin here are the pictures of our house now that landscaping is done.

If you have outlets next to your bed you could just use these. Cheaper and no extra wiring. We have these by our nightstands.
