    1640LTD/176LTD Vent - Convert to fan?

    I did the install last weekend! I did not want to drill through the metal beams that were on the left and right side of the vent because I would have a really difficult time trying to find a 12v wire with the beams in the way. So I decided to wire the Hengs Vortex II fan so that it would simply...

    1640LTD/176LTD Vent - Convert to fan?

    No, not yet! Our PUP is stored in a friend's lot and the weather here in northeastern PA is crappy, so we haven't done anything yet. Just waiting for the weather to break!

    Question about 12v refrigerator and Rockwood 1640LTD

    The fridge that came with our 1640LTD is an Everchill BC-47-04H, 12volt-only. It surprised me, because the info on the RV company's web site said it had a 3-way power fridge. But it's definitley not (no outside vents, either). So it must be the going trend with these TTs to only offer the...

    Question about 12v refrigerator and Rockwood 1640LTD

    My main concern was if flipping the sink cuts of ALL the power to the popup while it's connected to the battery or myTV, or just the lights. I'm not sure if I will keep the fridge, or remove it and opt for a really good cooler.

    Question about 12v refrigerator and Rockwood 1640LTD

    I was thinking I could leave it on while towing... using TV power (or solar) and put stuff in it. I guess I'll have to test it when I take it out of storage.

    Question about 12v refrigerator and Rockwood 1640LTD

    I have a dumb question about our new Rockwood 1640LTD. It came with an electric-only fridge. When I'm towing, will the fridge function at all? Or will it only function with the camper opened up and sink raised? I have our camper stored and can't easily get at it to test. Thanks! -T.

    Hengs Vortex II fan in Rockwell 1640LTD?

    The metal is in the way. But I suppose covering the wires in a raceway to the bunk light socket would be much prettier!

    Hengs Vortex II fan in Rockwell 1640LTD?

    Unfortunately, I didn't see any evidence of wiring. I already took the vent out to survey the opening. I have 2 metal bars left and right, and wooden studs front to back. I assume the metal "studs" are to support an air conditioner unit? And I really don't want to drill the metal "stud" to feed...

    Hengs Vortex II fan in Rockwell 1640LTD?

    Hello... We have a new Rockwood 1640LDT camper (currently packed up for the winter). It only has a 14" x 14" vent (no fan). I was considering installing a Hengs Vortex II fan in the vent space. Installation seems straight forward, except for the power connection. I was hoping to tap into a...

    Inverter and small TV for 1640LTD

    Good point! That circuit happened to be very easy to connect to. I'll likely extend it to one of the other circuits (lights or heater) when I take the camper out of storage.

    I certainly won't NEED a TV, but I'd like to have one for late night viewing, news, weather reports from local (antenna) channels.

    Inverter and small TV for 1640LTD

    Thank you for the quick reply. I'm not sure what the television ratings are, as we haven't purchased one yet. Just trying to decide if I should just use the inverter (that I already have) and buy a small television, or spring for an actual (and pricey) 12-volt television. Also, the cigarette...

    Inverter and small TV for 1640LTD

    Greetings... In my new 1640LTD, I installed a cigarette lighter socket right next to the dual USB port outlet (under the seat of the dinette). It's connected to the same circuit as the CO2 detector and dual USB outlets. I also have a 300 Watt inverter (sine wave) that plugs into a cigarette...

    Rockwood Freedom 1640LTD - Magnetic Body for Camera?

    Hello! So, I'm picking up our new 1640LTD next week. Before I do, I'd like to buy this magnetic mount, rechargeable camera from Amazon () My question is: Will it magnetically attach to either the top "lid" of the camper, or the back? Thanks! -Tom

    1640LTD/176LTD Vent - Convert to fan?

    Hello! So, next week I will pick up my Forest River Rockwood 1640LTD (so excited)! Anyway, it has a standard vent (no fan). I understand I can replace the vent with a Hengs Vortex fan, which is almost a perfect retrofit. My question is, does anyone know if there is wiring in the ceiling of...
