RE: Windshield Shades
Love our MagneShade. Easy up and down. No climbing. One person can handle it. Large gusts did not remove it. Cuts a lot of sun. Still get a reasonable view. Worth the expense for us.

RE: Jump starting the generator
The batteries have loads that cannot be switched off which kills the batteries over time. Fully charge the batteries then remove the negative battery cables when storing. Mark and take pictures first. In 6 months the batteries should start the engine or gen w/o a issue.
I'd start the gen first and let it run for a hour assuming the charger charges both banks.
Also, the gen may not direct charge and trickle charge will not charge a depleted battery. With gen running it will still take up to 30 minute, with the boost/crossover switch engaged, to bring the chassis up to a state that it will start your engine.

RE: Operating on a 20amp circuit
Lonnie,
You will also want to note if there are other things running on this circuit, like a freezer in the garage. Easy to over look and each item adds up.

RE: Strange house battery issue
If it were me, I'd get a 12v/120v multimeter. You can get them fairly cheap, almost anywhere. I would disconnect the pos on the batt(s) and run the converter as normal, and measure the output of the converter. Then I would mesure the charge in the batts. I'd post the results here. You will get better and more focused info/diagnosis by posting the test results.

RE: Water line burst
As others have said, buy a quality pressure regulator, not one of those cheap reducers. Big difference.

RE: How to winterize residential refrigerator??
We have a Samsung RF18. Run pink until it enters the ice tray. The RF18 has a button to cycle the ice maker.

RE: Mobile hot spots
I would read the unlimited phone, text data (on a phone agreement) clauses carefully. The unlimited my apply to that phone only, and not any connected devices. Hotspots, on a phone, may cost to use or a shared connection may be throttled. Know what you can do with the entire plan.

RE: Can't get 12v power and boondocking
Last update: as I've been driving on the road, the breaker has tripped a couple more times - I thought it might have to do with turning off/on the car, but that's not it - I can't reproduce the issue.
I'm sure it is just because it was a dry day, but I also got shocked by my car two or three times.
Anyway, the only common factor for this issue is when I'm towing.
Whoa there! Let's back up a bit. You got shocked by your car. Were you connected to the trailer. You might have a bigger issue than your breaker.
Sorry for the delay - as for getting shocked: yes, I was hooked up to the trailer. I get shocked from time to time getting out of my car (yesterday, not connected to the trailer) - it's typically on dry days where static electricity has built up. I don't think it's related to being hooked up.
I would have this checked. This could be caused by a reverse polarity in your shore line or improper grounding. This can escalate to electrocution.

RE: RV Antifreeze
He got two things right. Alcohol is not good on rubber but as said above, there is not enough in it to do any real harm. Been using whatever pink was on sale for decades and systems still working fine.
Second thing he got right is that the pink does taste funny. Don't drink it straight, on the rocks or even with a lime twist. I flush with just fresh/tap water in the spring. Tastes fine after that.

RE: Need a Recorder???
Maybe I am not understanding. If you pay/activate the service, Dish Wally is your recorder and the external, USB harddrive is your storage. See step 2 in the link above.
