RE: 50 Amp Receptacle to Inverter Virtually all 3000 watt inverters will have a hard wire output.	time2roll	04/03/20 08:09pm	Tech Issues
RE: 50 Amp Receptacle to Inverter So just buy a 50 amp female pigtail and connect to the inverter direct. Both L1 & L2 to the inverter hot, Neutral to Neutral, ground to ground. Set the fridge and water to propane only and disconnect power from the converter. Done. https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Mighty-Cord/A10-50PFVP.html	time2roll	04/03/20 05:13pm	Tech Issues
RE: Destroying a truck More money than brains..... :RYou tube probably pays him $20k+ a month for the air time.	time2roll	04/02/20 10:01pm	Tow Vehicles
RE: 12v outlet question Question....what 12v outlet will handle my inverter safely?None go to 600 watts. Use something like Anderson Powerpoles to connect. I still think my solution above is way easier and no wires draping around.	time2roll	04/02/20 05:15pm	General RVing Issues
RE: 12v outlet question Do you have space for the inverter close to the fuse/breaker panel? If yes consider mounting the inverter right there. Get 12v power from the main battery feed. Use a small transfer switch to power up the single branch circuit that goes to the tv. https://www.donrowe.com/KISAE-TS15A-Automatic-Transfer-Switch $50 If by chance the fridge is also on that circuit you will need to set it to propane only. If the converter happens to be on that circuit will need to find the best way to de-power it.	time2roll	04/01/20 08:23pm	General RVing Issues
RE: Battery Charging Problem *UPDATE* OK so measure what the alternator is putting on the house battery terminals after two hours. If you are less than 14.2 volts maybe the DC-DC booster would help to get a faster charge if desired. Until the issue is quantified there is nothing to resolve.	time2roll	04/01/20 05:25pm	Class C Motorhomes
RE: Built in quiet inverter generator for truck camper? Fill the generator space with a stack of lithium batteries and inverter for some true quiet power. Cover the roof with solar and you will rarely need the portable.	time2roll	03/31/20 08:41pm	Truck Campers
RE: Did I forget anything? ordering a new Hallmark pop up camper Did you get dual pane windows?	time2roll	03/31/20 06:43pm	Truck Campers
RE: I have a different kind of electrical problem The doors will not stay shut? You bought a second EV? Must say it is an odd looking inlet and I agree that pinched ribbon would bug me.	time2roll	03/30/20 10:32pm	Technology Corner
RE: Battery Charging Problem *UPDATE* Very nice. Good time to also review your converter to get the most charge from running the generator.	time2roll	03/30/20 08:16pm	Class C Motorhomes
RE: Just bought my first travel trailer I often say keep the trailer GVWR within the tow rating. I recommend 350/3500 SRW as a minimum for this trailer.	time2roll	03/29/20 10:48pm	Travel Trailers
RE: Installing inverter w/charger and transfer switch No need to go down a rabbit hole of removing-disconnecting-altering-modifying, etc, etc your existing converter, unless you’re wishing for unnecessary work and added grief...Still need to be de-powered to avoid a charging loop.	time2roll	03/29/20 03:20pm	Tech Issues
RE: What does having an appointment mean? What an appointment really means is your ticket is assigned to that sales writer and he will get the spiff when you come in.	time2roll	03/29/20 10:59am	General RVing Issues
RE: Battery Charging Problem *UPDATE* One glaring issue is "less need for temperature compensation". Sorry that is basic chemistry and no "witchery" will get around that need. Charging at -40 requires higher voltage and charging at 115 f requires charging be discontinued.Yes OK and most RVing is closer in the 40 to 110 range and any typical multistage converter will do just fine. And yes camping in -40 will need a lot more preparation than just a temperature compensated charger.	time2roll	03/29/20 10:56am	Class C Motorhomes
RE: Unusual tire wear http://photoposting.is-great.net/?i=1	time2roll	03/29/20 10:53am	Class A Motorhomes
RE: Battery Charging Problem *UPDATE* While dry camping in freezing weather, the charging system died for the dual type 24 house batteries (2002 Winnebago Mini)..May also want to review your converter model for better (faster) charging while the generator runs. Cold batteries like to get all the voltage they can get.	time2roll	03/28/20 11:09pm	Class C Motorhomes
RE: Unusual tire wear Odd looking steer axle. Did the OP send those to you?	time2roll	03/28/20 10:08pm	Class A Motorhomes
RE: 20 year loan for RV? I agree having multiple loans to leverage all your toys can be a disaster. However in times like these a 20 year loan is more flexible than a 5 year loan. And yes get the one paid before you go in on to the second.	time2roll	03/28/20 04:40pm	Beginning RVing
RE: Battery Charging Problem *UPDATE* I would get an automatic relay (BIRD) Example here - shop around	time2roll	03/28/20 03:43pm	Class C Motorhomes
RE: Power center problem If you are measuring 13+ on most pins and less than 9 on a couple pins in the fuse/distribution panel then you have a defective board, poor connection or bad fuse etc right there. Keep poking and eventually you will find the issue with 13 on one side and 9 on the other. Replace or repair is your call. May need to remove the board to inspect.	time2roll	03/28/20 12:54pm	Tech Issues
