Wondering if i can get instructions on how to set up bag awning on 2015 jayco hawk.
Thanks.Dean.
I have 2005 jayco freedom with battery hooked up to setec and want to run auxiliary socket near fridge , when hooked up to 12 volt wire behind fridge the aux socket had good voltage but when you connect cigarette plug to 12 v appliance the voltage drops to 2 volts , I was hoping to use the existing 12 v wiring in van which runs from setec rather than running a new cable from the van battery to my auxiliary plug
Hi Greg,
Would certainly recommend not picking up off the fridge wire. It also depends on what you want run from the aux point. It could be wiser to run back to battery.
Can i run fridge on 12 volt while travelling in my 1991 jayco swan?
Hi Lex,
if your camper is fitted with a 3 way fridge and wired correctly (car & van) yes it will run on 12v. Units built in the 80’s no but reckon in 91 campers were fitted with 3 way…..not 100%. Your fridge nob will indicate type (ie 12v, gas, 240V or AC, DC, Gas) and will need to confirm wring through your local repairer or auto elec.
Hope this helps?
Regards,
Geoff
