Replace RV Refrigerator with Residential Fridge | RV Refrigerator Installation

Our Dometic refrigerator went out and I did not want to spend the money to repair a fridge we did not like anyway. We installed this $400 residential refrigerator instead and love it. Sometimes Amazon has this refrigerator: https://amzn.to/3c6wgA9

Refrigerator Control Board Kit; Use With Dometic DMH1072/ DM2862/ DM2852/ DM2652 Refrigerators. With Power Board: Yes

Dometic provides branded solutions for mobile living in the areas of Climate, Hygiene and Sanitation, Food and Beverage, Power and Control and Safety and Security. Our mission is to make the mobile life easy.This is a replacement lower control board for select Dometic gas absorption refrigerators. The lower control board is the main circuit board on the refrigerator and controls the ignition of the propane and the power to the AC element. This item is compatible with the following models: DM2652; DM2662; DM2663; DM2852; DM2862; DM3862; NDM1062; NDR1062; RM2351; RM2354; RM2451; RM2454; RM2551; RM2554; RM2620; RM2652; RM2662; RM2820; RM2852; RM2862.

Several DIY online videos suggest that if your Frig is not working on AC and you have check the power supply, the glass fuses and heating element, than its likely that the lower control board is bad. So I went this route and purchase a new lower control board, but unfortunately it did not solve the problem. I was fortunate that Amazon allow this item to be returned for a refund. I was pretty much resigned to running the frig off LP gas until I learned that the upper control board could cause this issue. So I purchased a upper control board and it solved the problem. My frig now runs off of AC or gas, depending on if the AC is available. Therefore, if you are have a similar problem with your RV refrigerator, know that replacing the upper control board may solved your problem.

Pachmayr Diamond Pro Grip | Taurus Judge Public Defender | Black Polymer

I got a new grip for my Taurus Judge Public Defender. It’s a Pachmayr Diamond Pro Grip and you can get it here: https://amzn.to/37CMI5Q

Pachmayr Diamond Pro Grip | Taurus Judge Public Defender | Black Polymer

From the manufacture and reviews:
Pachmayr Diamond Pro Grip
Pachmayr is proud to introduce the Diamond Pro Series revolver grips. This grip line is designed to fill the hand comfortably, with natural feel and point. The unique shape is covered with our “Diamond Plate” texture. This gives you rugged good looks and absolute control of your revolver, even under the heaviest recoil. The revolver grips are made using our specially blended rubber compounds, formulated to give you the long lasting soft feel you expect and the best recoil reduction you deserve.

Features:
Diamond checkering
Finger grooves
Covered back strap

Its not a polymer nor feel like it has way more grip from slipping works way better for my judge then the stock grip
Definitely bigger, the factory grip was too small for a good grip. The Diamond Grip is very comfortable and gives you a very good grip and control of your weapon. I’m very pleased with this product.
Pachmayr diamond pro grip, is your answer. I replaced my factory grips on my public defender poly model And I love them. They really make it fit your hand. And they are easy to swap out.
More grip on the Judge! I purchased my Judge Public Defender Saturday afternoon and took it to the range Saturday evening. After firing a couple times I personally felt like it needed more of a grip. I found this grip and thought I would give it a try. Ordered it Saturday night and had it Monday afternoon! Installation was a breeze and completely changed how the gun felt. I recommend this for anyone seeking a larger grip for their Public Defender. You can see if the picture the size difference between the stock grip (right) and the Pachmayr (installed).
if you have large or medium hands you won’t regret it.
This grip is rock solid and I love it. It added the extra length I needed for my large hands. The grip was very easy to install. It took about two minutes. I fired 50 rounds with this grip this is what I can tell you, my Public Defender feels more secure in my hand, the recoil is distributed over more surface area making it easier to regain my sight picture again, I carry this as a side arm in a leather owb holster when I hunt, and it is much easier to draw without readjustment now.

Why I use these stabilizers and why you should too | RV Accessories – X-Chock

A RV Must Have! Don’t Pull A Trailer Without This | TPMS Is A Lifesaver

I picked up a good cheaper TPMS system for the RV and it was a lifesaver! I would never tow without one again.

A Tire-Pressure Sensor Can Save You From Having a Blowout
A tire-pressure sensor is a small programmable electronic device, located in the pressurized pocket made by a wheel and tire, that constantly measures the air pressure inside the tire. The sensor transmits that information via low-frequency radio to the vehicle’s onboard computer and, if the car has one, to a corresponding display in the instrument cluster. It reads out in pounds per square inch (psi), and it illuminates an amber warning light to alert you if one or more tires are low on air.

WHAT IS TPMS & HOW DOES IT WORK?
The purpose of the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in your vehicle is to warn you that at least one or more tires are significantly under-inflated, possibly creating unsafe driving conditions. The TPMS low tire pressure indicator is a yellow symbol that illuminates on the dashboard instrument panel in the shape of a tire cross-section (that resembles a horseshoe) with an exclamation point.

TPMS low tire pressure indicator

That indicator light in your vehicle has a history. It’s a history rooted in years of uncertainty about proper tire pressure and many serious car accidents that might have been avoided had drivers known their air pressure was low. Even now, it’s estimated that a substantial number of vehicles hit the road each day with underinflated tires. However, proper tire maintenance with the aid of a TPMS can and does help prevent many serious accidents.

Before this indicator light became commonplace, knowing whether your air pressure had reached unsafe levels meant getting out, crouching down, and using a tire gauge. With few exceptions, this was the only pressure-checking tool ordinary consumers had at their disposal.

Then, in response to a surge in accidents due to underinflated tires, the US government passed the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act. One of the outcomes of this legislation is that most vehicles sold in the United States since 2007 include a tire pressure monitoring system of some kind.

Not every TPMS works the same way. The illumination of the low tire pressure indicator represents the final step in the process of either an indirect TPMS or a direct TPMS.
