RE: AC on winnebago vista 27pe or sunstar
Not going to disagree with Doug, but we have a 26P Vista, with a single 15k ducted AC.
We have found that in mid 90's with partial shade the unit keeps the front comfortable, but the bedroom does climb some into the high 70's or low 80's.
This was in Va, NC, and Tenn in the summer, not in Texas heat. And we always had some shade.
We did screen off the windshield to help, and blocked the sun where we could.

RE: Furrion Instant Hot Water in Cold Weather
Tankless water heaters by design have a limited amount of time to warm water. the heating unit only hold a quart or so of water, so water passing through it is only in the heating coils for about 20 seconds for a faucet discharging less than a gallon a minute. Usually they warm the water about 50 degrees by design at their designed flow rate.
If the incoming water is 70 degrees, then it heats to 120 which is fine, but if the incoming water is 40, then the warmed water only has time to reach 90, which is lukewarm at best.

RE: 12v to 120v inverter
Along with the "coffee outlet" check the televisions, often they are on an inverter circuit.
Thanks, I didn't think to check the tv.
Our little Winnie has a 400 watt inverter, it runs the two tv's, the antenna amp, and a single outlet in the kitchen.
We use a small (hotel type) drip coffee maker, 4 cup and it works fine from the small inverter, we also can run an extension cord from the bedroom tv outlet, which lets the small inverter run both her bi-pap and my cpap without adding hardware.

RE: winnebago electric rv concept
Airstream has gotten into it too.

Apparently this can help park itself, and help with towing on the highway.
So, by spending huge amounts of money, you can get back to what everyone used to do.

RE: Thor Wanderer (2000) Battery Location
Should be on the trailer tongue, right behind the propane tanks.
Two cables should come out of the trailer body to connect to them, and even though the standard converters are not great, I would replace the battery/ies first, it may work fine once batteries are connected.
Sorry did not notice the fifth wheel, I never saw one of those that was a 5er. One of the forward compartments should have the cables for the battery connections. If not, then go to the converter and locate the battery connections and trace from there.

RE: Scan tool for Ram CTD
If you want a wide range of test, Autel 629 offers about the best bang for the buck, ABS, Tranny, etc for $130 , but be forewarned, it is very slow. Takes over twice as long to do a scan compared to my more basic units.

RE: GM outsold Ford??
I dont think its about the trucks anymore. This year and last, the one able to secure the most chips wins.
And Tesla's sales almost doubled because they program their own chips and were able to program/reprogram cheaper available chips.
If it was that simple, where's the cybertruck?

RE: Good battery for Boondocking Palomino Puma 19RL
There is currently one battery box 11.5x8x8
And may I ask why marine or RV batteries are not as good?
A few replies stated:
"compromises like the RV/Marine batteries"
and "marine deep cycle are compromised batteries"
Are they not truly deep cycle?
True deep cycle batteries are designed for lower amp, slower drains. They handle being drawn down to lower points without damage, and generally last longer than the dual purpose batteries. An automotive battery because of the demand for high amp output (read that as engine starting) and do not do as well for low draw.
Since your tray will only hold a single, your basically limited to the RV/Marine units unless you spend considerably more. Take your measurements to verify, but I believe a group 27 is what will fit.

RE: Good battery for Boondocking Palomino Puma 19RL
Do you have room for only one battery? Or will the tray handle two?
Best bang for the buck are 6 volt Golf cart batteries.
Wire two in series to reach the desired 12 volts. These are true deep cycle batteries instead of being compromises like the RV/Marine batteries.
Best pricing is usually from the buyers clubs Costco or Sams.

RE: 1998 Holiday Rambler Vacationer? 13k Is it worth it?
Have you seen decent photos of it? Can you see if the license plate or inspection stickers are current? If not, how long has it been sitting?
At that mileage and price I can almost guarantee you it will have aged out its tires, that alone will run you another $2,500-$3,600
Before you get into the other stuff. If you really are limited to $13,000, plan accordingly.
At your price point, why not a trailer? Do you currently own a vehicle suitable for towing?
