I have a house bank with two 12 volt batteries in parallel. I read that I should not let them fall below 50% charge when boondocking, but I forgot how to calculate what a 50% charge with this setup can be. Currently they are at 12.5, and the string o...
I have a small 20-foot Born Free with Freedom 10 charger/inverter. I left it parked for two nights at a friend's house. The inverter was on, and the only thing plugged in was a low consumption Engel fridge. The battery was absolutely completely dead ...
I have a 97 20' born free on a ford e-350 dually and I would like the rear end to sit a little higher. The spring pack on it looks a bit tired, saggy and rusted so that is where i was planning to start. I was chatting with a member on another thread ...
Just noticed tonight while installing a new outlet on my rig that when I am connected to shore power I get about 120 on my meter but when I unplug it and switch to the inverter I am only getting about 100? My tv, microwave, etc all work fine but this...
As a beginner w solar with a small class b, I went w the simple 100 watt kit from harbor freight that comes with everything you need to just try to learn solar. I have it all mounted and hooked up and it is working perfectly. My question is do I leav...
Awesome info thanks guy. I woke up to 12.24 and the solar power charging it up again, but I am surprised that I would reach 50% batt on only one night of boondocking. Is this normal? I am in a 20’ born free van that has basically no amenities lol. Th...
Thanks so much. I feel a lot better. I’m currently cruising through Tennessee, and I will do the testing suggested tonight when I arrive at a campground. I may also stop at autozone if I see one soon to get the battery checked. Otherwise, I’ll just d...
I should have tested the batteries, but we were blocking someone's way to get to work and we had to get on the highway, so we jumped it and took off. Our house batteries seemed fine. The fridge was working, all lights still turned on in the coach. Ho...
Hey Matt, The Freedom 10 is definitely connected to the house bank. The odd thing is that the fridge and house lights were working fine. What is the best way to test the battery isolator? Thanks a lot. LL
thanks so much guys I have it at a shop now to see what he thinks also. Apparently the ford e350 springs come stock flat at 3750 per side and it is normal for them to "frown" a bit. So im not sure i need em. Maybe add a leaf or a super spring or even...
