This message is as much a test as a notice. The forum software was too old and a server update rendered it broken.  I've updated the forum software and think I have the database reattached, so everything should be good for a while now.

Also just saying Hi as I don't get around here much these days. It's only been 16 years since I sold my Clipper lol. Though I do sometimes wonder where it is today... last I saw it, we delivered it to a nice lady in Chico. Hope everyone is doing well :)

Electrical Tips / Wall outlets not working when ...
Last post by Peaselbeast - May 19, 2021, 08:40:26 PM
OK so I'm not sure what is going on with the power center. It is original. Seems to work. The battery for engine is wired to the secondary batter for the coach.
Everything runs through the power center. Fuses look good. As I have power only batter only and charging battery when shore line 30AWG is plugged in to a 120 extension cord.

Perhaps this is where my issue is?:
I bought a 12 AWG 50ft extention cord, I run it from an outlet (120v) in my house to the shore line 30amp cord for the RV (have 30 amp to regular plug converter plugged into to couple the two.
My batter does charge. Powers the fridge and water pump and even the a/c unit as well as lights that are wired in. Yet my 120v wall outlets do not work...

Sooo I have attached a picture of what I think might be the issue (120v cord not connected to anything?) And I will add pictures of the batteries and wiring around the power center.

Just don't wanna mess up and fry the battery.. pretty confident you do NOT plug 120 directly into battery lol I know an inverter is required for that.
But any suggestions or even wiring diagram(s) would help a lot. Thinking if the disconnected 120v cord does register on my volt checker maybe it was originally set up for a inverter?
Just very confused. :o
Thank you.

Hello all!
Just been working on a 1978 American clipper I purchased back in Feb 2021. She is missing the external batter door on the side and it is exposed to the elements   :-\ see attached picture for location.
Anyone have an extra or know of any place to find one? Otherwise I am thinking I will have to patch it closed before the winter.
Thanks ^_^

Non-Club Member Technical Questions / Re: Wheel Lugnut Torque specs
Last post by cfcatt - March 25, 2021, 05:08:32 AM
Yes so easy to Google when you know what to Google for; thanks for the information. My Clipper has the 16.5" Pilot Rear wheels. I know the Dodge VIN is a 1975 but perhaps the Clipper is a 1976 if you say I should have Budd Rear wheels? Anyway I'll get them on as tight as I can and take your advice and go to a shop and get them torqued properly. I lined the pin up properly and rotated the stems 180.

Thanks again for your help.
