You might gain a little clearance by removing the shroud. The AC is only held on by 4 bolts, if you were inclined to do so you could remove it for storage reasons. My only concern would be getting the AC to reseal correctly.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:20:35 +0000 http://www.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1246&PID=12191#12191 Cruiser : Changing a Tire on my CF27 RLX http://www.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1242&PID=12190#12190 Author: Squaredancer

The one and only time I had to change a blown tire by the side of a very busy Calif. freeway, I built a ramp out of my yellow plastic leveling blocks, pulled the good tire on it.This raised the bad tire. Changed tires, replaced everything. Took less than half an hour. So I'm slow.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:18:48 +0000 http://www.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1242&PID=12190#12190 Cruiser : Air Conditioner http://www.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1246&PID=12189#12189 Author: campsurveyor

Just picked up my truck from the body shop.  The final bill was just under $14000.  My brakes locked up again and I just returned from having the calipers replaced, as the brakes are new.  

Brought the trailer home in the dark.  I'll have to make sure everything is okay tomorrow when it's daylight.

Called the place where I store truck/trailer and made sure he was available so I can drop off the duo.  

I'd say November is looking up already.Tongue

HunterII thanks, that is the box that was in our CrossRoads, lawn tractor and etc. I do not know where they got such a lid. I will need to change it to get the correct fit.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I agree with Hunter 11, if we are leaving for any amount of time I shut the water off at the outside spigot. I have heard and seen to many experiences with piping problems in trailers to trust bad things not to happen.]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:16:42 +0000 http://www.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1244&PID=12185#12185 General RV Questions : Battery compartment http://www.crossroadsrv.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1243&PID=12184#12184 Author: Hunter11

John, these are the boxes our batteries are mounted in. The straps keep the lids on tight.

I agree with Rock. You shouldn't need more than 2  6 volt bateries. The key to making batteries last a long time is to avoid running them below 50 % charged. The Trojan tech I have talked to several times says the batts will last much, much longer if you don't deep  cycle them all the way down. I follow that advise and have gotten as much as 10 years of use out of my 6 volts.
 
On the contrary I use 12 volt Trojans in my bass boat and run them down to parade rest with my trolling motor almost every time out and they usually only last about 3 years and that is with way less use than the trailer batts get.
 
  The  battery gauge lights that come with the cruiser are really not very good for checking battery condition. Better to use a voltmeter or get a good gauge that measures in at least tenths of volts. 12.7 volts is 100 % charged, 12.2 volts is 50 % charged.

gtoguy1967, thanks for the info. I have filled the opening, it is odd that HunterII does not have it.
 geondebi, the way this lid is molded is without a relief for the wires to come out, we do not have a good way to place a strap around the battery and pull the lid down, I don't know why they even put a lid on the battery.
