RE: Internet speed

The days of 1200 baud modems are long gone outside a few specialty uses.
My first modem was 300 baud. This was back in 1983 or 1984, connected to a TRS-80 Model III

RE: What did you do to your Camper Today?

...clearly appeared to be the red cable connected to the shunt.
The cable was pointing straight up from the shunt. No idea how that would appear to have been connected to the shunt.
That cable was what I had originally routed from the battery box to the large fuse, when I was thinking I'd mount the fuse next to the shunt. That's why there's the other red cable laying to the left of the shunt - that was the other cable for the fuse.
I am custom making my own battery cables and crimping them with this awesome crimp tool.
This is how I'm making my battery cables then I apply the appropriate color heat shrink.

RE: What did you do to your Camper Today?

Approximately 5:27 thru 5:46
You must have skipped the part from 5:38-5:42 :E
Please explain what am I missing?
Watch the video again.... and look at 5:38-5:42 and at 6:13-6:17.
There's two cables connected to the load side of the shunt, both have black heat shrink - I can clearly see only two terminal lugs on that side of the shunt. I see one cable on the battery side of the shunt, it too has black heat shrink.
There is no cable with red heat shrink connected to the shunt.
Please explain what am I missing?
The still shot I added at 6:18-6:21 also shows three black heat shrink cables on the shunt, so does the segment from 6:22-7:19.
Keep watching from 7:21-7:24 and tell me what happens to the loose and dangling positive cable with red heat shrink connected to it.

RE: Excellent video on brake repacking

Wearing only one glove.... what's the point! LOL
I've never seen those brake show gauges. With his brakes being "self adjusting", that tool wasn't necessary. When I installed self adjusting brakes on my cargo trailer last year, I used the adjuster wheel to dial them in a little bit then left the self adjusting function to do its job to get all 4 brakes set appropriately.

I use a much larger piece of cardboard to contain my mess and keep it off the concrete driveway I do these projects on.
A better video on bearing repacking.

RE: What did you do to your Camper Today?

I noticed in your video , you connected a large cable with RED shrink tubing to the LOAD side of your shunt.
Where in the video are you seeing that?
I've watched and re-watched the video 3 times this morning and don't see a red cable connected to the shunt.

RE: It’s been a good run

Since it's kinda on topic, what is it that makes the 6v GC batt's better then 12v ones?
Golf cart batteries have thicker plates.

RE: Tire Replacement Question

I think the Endurance addresses those issues and has the advantages of an ST tire.
An ST Edurance tire of a given size has a higher load rating than the same size tires I replaced (from Les Schwab) on my 8.5 x 20 cargo trailer as shown in this video

RE: Ordered Host cascade today

The off grid packages are 10,414 16,893 and 22,012 dollars, They include lithium, solar, and inverter. To rich for me.
HOLY COW.
I haven't done solar on my AF992 yet, and probably won't, but I sure haven't spent anywhere close to the above amounts on the inverter and Battleborns I installed already.

RE: Tire Replacement Question

That's an insane selling price for the tires and their extra "fees" to mount and install them.
I had Goodyear Endurance install on my cargo trailer at Discount Tire. The jacked up the rig in the parking lot and swapped the tires in the same amount of time it would take to do the job on a car.

RE: Sliding Storage tray in the front Pass through

I think those are great but due to the height and space behind I think you lose a lot of space.
Yes, there is some loss of storage space.
Does it lock out when pulled out all the way on either side or just when it's inside at the center position?
It doesn't lock in the extended position.
