Sounds like it was the battery BMS was reacting to the inrush current as if it was a short. I ran into the same thing when I installed 4-Lifepo4 batteries in parallel with a couple different inverters. Got the spark, and the whole bank went dead. In that particular case, they didn't turn back on lat...

I'm going to assume you are not referring to the backup lights that normally come on when you shift into reverse. Have you checked the fuse? On my '98 there's a fuse in the main fuse bay marked Front Fog lights/Rear fog lights. It's number 25. Both are controlled manually by switches on the dash. Ha...

Update. Awning is done! The two guys who did the install had to struggle to get awning in the last 3 feet of the grooves. Not cheap @$1800, but I expect it to last longer than I will. Re: Solar. Grab a chair, a snack, and a drink. This is gonna be a long one. Adding two more panels was pretty easy s...

Update to my update. Spoke to another ShadePro tech who happened to be visiting our campground in Quartzsite a few days ago. Confirmed the main problem with replacing the fabric on these awnings is the fact the awning is recessed into the coach wall which means the end caps can't be removed without ...

Update.

Confirmed, Shade-Pro will no longer work on the recessed awnings. We are now looking at ordering the fabric and seeing if a local mobile tech will do the install, AFTER I remove the end caps.

Or I'll find out why Shade Pro doesn't do these any more. Could end up with the new fabric only half installed and stuck, or an awning that doesn't close, fall off the ladder and break a bone, or....

Thanks for the suggestions. We will check these out. ShadePro sells the fabric and does acrylic awnings, but the tech says they stopped working on the recessed box awnings like is on our rig. Too many problems. I found a post on another forum that said the awning needs to be removed in order to get ...

<t>After 25 years, the main awning fabric on our 98 Serengeti needs replacing. We are on the southwest coast, and southwest for the winter of 22/23. We talked to a tech with ShadePro, and they said they don't do these types of awnings anymore. Has anyone had theirs done, and if so who did it? We wil...

Could be your heater problem is the water valve not the control panel. I had to replace the valve in my '98 Serengeti 3706 last year. The valve is located on Firewall behind and above the front bumper.

Thanks for sharing. I used a different light also from Walmart but had to add some foam to get them to fit because they were thinner than the original bulbs. Only drawback is after three years, the plastic lenses are yellowing.
