RE: Good Oyster Digging & Clamming Spots on Vancouver Island
Be sure to check on shellfish closures caused by "Red Tide" as this can be very toxic.

RE: My black tank valve is stuck. Easy lube fix?
The problem with a 17 year old rig is the seals are more than likely swollen.
Time to replace the valve assembly.

RE: Covid 19 impact on interstate travel?
Try to social distance but that wasn't happening at their wonderful fireworks show. We saw 7 shows and hardly anyone was wearing a mask. Just like the old days, lol.
Unfortunately it is idiots like that who are causing the surge in confirmed cases. :S
The powers to be need to clamp down on the fools.You think I'm an idiot for having an opinion that doesn't match yours? I consider your statement to be an attack on me personally, which are against forum rules but since the moderator also attacks I guess it's pointless to complain.
Just where did I say I think you are an idiot, WHERE?
If you had paid attention (see the bold text above) this is what I was speaking about.

RE: Switching from 12 volt to 6 volt batteries
"Compressor Refrigerators
...
Some of you are not getting it...
...
You're right, I was not aware of those. So I've learned today.
Pretty impressive specs. If there is any downside it might be that they are not silent, just like your home fridge isn't silent. Not a real issue there either. Rated at 1kw per day draw.
Specs for one example
Not made for boondocking.
Not a hope would I ever use one of those while boondocking at 84 amp hours per day.

RE: Stay on your own side....
Let's see what happens this fall if the border is still closed and the great snowbird migration is deemed illegal. Tens of thousands having to endure a long, cold winter in their homeland. Priceless.
And get to keep our millions of dollars here in Canada. Priceless :B

RE: Stay on your own side....
There are plenty of sightseeing places in the 48. Go see what’s in your own country. Canada will open soon enough.
Are Canadians still regularly doing their shopping in the US?
They shouldn't be allowed and hopefully they are abiding by the rules.

RE: Stay on your own side....
One problem I see with the $ fine is many will say If I get caught, I can pay that. IMHO, much better would make them pay the grand, spend quarantine in a cell, pay the cost of cell and board, pay to store their rig, then escorted to nearest border.
That news story would do much to protect the rest of the world from the covidots this country grows.
Raise the fine to at least $2,000, impound the RV for 30 days and send them back to the border. After 30 days they would have to pay storage fees and arrange to have the RV delivered back home.

RE: need help with electrical
All my fuses are good.. BReakers aren't flipped.
I pulled the batteries out and measured the voltage from the pos/neg wires that go to the batteries--> 0.00 volts.. So I have nothing coming from my converter back to the batteries. Camper is plugged into a 110outlet and there is nothing on inside the camper except the display on the microwave.
Must be my converter...
I tested all the blade fuses with a voltmete and they are good. no breakers flipped, so unless there is a inline fuse I can't find (I traced all wires by feel from the converter to the fuse box/breaker boxes)..
So you did find the 30 amp or 40 amp fuses?

RE: need help with electrical
thanks for the quick replies..
In response,
1) The batteries are brand new accoring to the guy I bought it from. I believe him. He replaced the batteries, did bearing and a couple other things before selling it. They are deep cycle group 24 marine batteries.
2) Reverse polarity as suggested by BoonDocker might be my issue.. When I use a outlet diagnostic tool I get "Hot neutral/reverse". My understanding this means the hot and neutral are switched at one or more outlets.
Boondocker- where do I find the reverse polarity fuses at the convetner? I can't get to my converter easily, but by feeling it and the little I can see it doesn't look like there are any fuses on it or inline fuses to it..
They should be at the same area where all the other 12 volt fuses are on the converter. They could be either 30 or 40 amp fuses.

RE: need help with electrical
Sounds like the reverse polarity fuses (usually a pair of 30 amp fuses) at the converter are blown.
The fridge, furnace and AC will not operate if the battery is discharged.

RE: New Mexico 'Quarantine" Requirements
I'd like to see anyone try to quarantine my wife and I. I'd like to see anybody try to restrict my movements. I won't put up with it. We're in Branson, MO for a week and having a marvelous time. No masks required. Social distancing is requested but at the firework show last night no one was doing it. I love it here but will have to return to the People's Republic of Tucson and the socialist, activist mayor.
Last year in the US there were 19 million known cases of the ordinary flu. This covid bug is also going to have millions of cases so just get every one exposed to it, get herd immunity, and get it over with. It's not a death sentence, after all, as too many people think it is. It's proven that the covid numbers are highly inflated as the hospitals are getting paid thousands for every covid case they can come up with.
Why don't you just move on and take your nonsense with you before you get this thread locked also. :R

105,xxx or 106,xxx on Bing is a 24 hour talley that appears to include 2 calender days of reports in one number.
Yes, that looks like what happened yesterday. The numbers were double what they were previous days.

RE: Longer closure gathering momentum...
The US had 105,000 new cases confirmed in just one day, today.
So Canada, please keep the border closed.
I can't find 105k new cases in USA. Where did you get that information?
Here
Looking at some other sites I have a feeling that was a misprint yesterday. Other sites say 53K, but that is still 1/2 the amount in just one day of all the confirmed cases in Canada.
I sure do hope the US gets things under control soon. That is just terrible what is happening to our neighbors down south.

RE: Longer closure gathering momentum...
I hope the border stays closed as long as it takes to minimize spread. I dont know how long that should be, thats why i trust the professionals. Canada currently has good control of this virus.
Its important to remember that corona is the enemy. We are all in this together.
Yes, I would say Canada has good control of this virus. Canada has a total of 105,000 confirmed cases since this pandemic started. The US had 105,000 new cases confirmed in just one day, today.
So Canada, please keep the border closed.
