RE: Pilot credit card needed ?
Fly J is the highest priced fuel on the planet , often 60 to 70 cents higher than other stations . I drive past the Fly J at Ocala on a regular basis and just down the road a mile or so is where I fuel . Last Friday it was $1.05 higher !

RE: How to install stuff on walls
I tried everything , what I have been doing successfully lately is pop rivets . You must know the thickness of your paneling and add the thickness of your piece that ya wanta hang , add em together , walk over to Ace Hardware and purchase correct length .

RE: Back in the dark ages !
The original poster here ! I want to thank you all for your help . What I am in the process of doing is installing a 200 amp lithium battery and the proper converter . We consider our selves as " travelers " , not campers , not boondockers . We tend to spend the night where ever we are when we get ready to stop , maybe Walmart but could be just as easy a church lot , police station , hospital , cemetery . What we were hoping to achieve by going with lithium is the ability to run the furnace or a couple of fans all night with out running the batteries down . We travel in a Ram 2500 with a topper , under the topper is mounted a 3400 watt generator , a 35 gallon water carrier , 2 electric bikes and a pancake compressor . We like back roads and stop at all small museums , yard sales , towns with funny names , historic sites , battlefields . We just wander and will go to a campground every 5 or six days . Planning a 5 month trip next summer/fall . Thank you all again . I have owned RVs for 40 years but this " new Tech " is confusing to an eighty year old .

RE: Back in the dark ages !
Guy next door sez that I should not let the alternator on my truck charge my lithium while driving . Is he a dummy ?

Back in the dark ages !
I believe that I was taught that all things being equal, that stranded wire would carry more current than solid wire ? Is that true or am I being misled ?

RE: conversion kit
A'int really a conversion .You need a extra tank , a mounting platform , and a switchover regulator . Easy job , might need a drill motor and some screws . Can get at E-Trailer , Amazon , E-bay or any RV place .

RE: Anyone know what this cold water tube is for?
On my trailer those would be the low point drains . In the bottom of the sink cabinet on mine are two push/pull valves that will turn them open and closed !

RE: WFCO WF8955PEC
Thanks for the reply , I gotta think for awhile before I spend the money ! My 2 current six volts are over 5 years old and we are gonna take a 4 month trip this summer . Replacing the 2 6 volts will cost near three hundred bucks , for 600 bucks I can get 4 times the usable power . Lithiums can go inside the crawl thru , I think ? I must talk to da boss , she has been telling me what to do for 51 years .

RE: Pet Peeves in RV Parks
My biggest grouch is when checking in ,many times you will stand there while the owner reads you a list of 25 or 30 things that you can not do or must do ! I am usually in a hurry and have to pee and I ain't got no dogs or kids or outside speakers and no I do not want tickets to Disney or the Ryman Auditorium and I do not want to buy a time share . Get me loose so I can go potty !

not another solar question ??
As I pull several different trailers I am considering mounting one of those Renology 400 watt packages on my pickup topper instead of on the trailer . Where would you put the controller , in the truck topper or in the trailer near the batteries . The distance the wires would be routed would be less than 10 feet .Is this a stupid idea ?
