Inadequate RV inverter

Posted 09-01-2023 at 06:11 PM by Robkhoo

Like all of you RV trailer and motor coach owners, my 2023 Globetrotter came with a woefully inadequate 1000W inverter.

With only a 1000 watts, I couldn’t boil water, make espresso, use a toaster or microwave. In other words, these electricity driven gadgets need 1200 watts or more to operate.

While you can upgrade the inverter to a 2000 or 3000 watt model, that is expensive and not that easy for most of us.

I used a portable Ecoflow Delta Mini power...

Globetrotter external light

Posted 03-24-2023 at 11:25 AM by Robkhoo

Tags coach-net, globetrotter, manual

Had a light outside a new 2023 Globetrotter 27FB which would not turn off.
The Globetrotter manual is out of date as it states there is a physical switch - there isn’t.
Coach-Net as usual, was useless.
I finally figured it out.
After my frustrating experience with this light, the poorly updated Globetrotter manual, the poor Coach-Net service, I posted a video on the problem and a solution:

Tags atlas, quality problems

We had a 2020 Atlas…due to the pandemic, we only went on a few trips racking up 15,000 miles.
We continued to have Atlas problems:
1. Stabilizer jacks failed to go up - due to loose wiring on driver side. We had a similar problem on the passenger side last year - fixed by Colonial Airstream. This the wire broke on the driver side. Oh yes…there is a mechanism to manually...

Atlas 2020 fridge fixed

Posted 09-19-2021 at 05:39 AM by Robkhoo

After an interminable 6 months, our Novacool fridge was replaced!

We took an RV trip with a working fridge……what most RV owners would consider an essential necessity but even more so, given the high price of this rig.

What a joy to travel with our own food and avoid restaurants as the Delta variant of COVID-19 rages through the country.

I will keep you up to date as I plan to retire to AZ soon.

I am considering a change in my RV because...

Atlas Fridge Issues

Posted 04-16-2021 at 11:26 AM by Robkhoo

Tags airstream rv, airstream service, atlas, fridge

We have a 2020 Airstream Atlas bought over a year ago but we had not driven at all in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic.

As we prepared for our cross country trip in April, our fridge kept blowing the 15 amp fuse. This was checked by Airstream service and it was not a known reverse wiring issue. It was the fridge itself that was defective. We were told there is no quick replacement for the Atlas fridges as they buy only so many from Canada for their production line.
