What did you do to your Class C MH today???

Figured out why the reefer (refridgerator for non Navy folks) wasn't working on gas and fixed it. The problem was corroded contacts on the solenoid controlling the gas valve.

Went to the kitchen and stole my chilli powder from the spice cabinet so I wouldn't have to go to the store Its so nice to be able to "shop" in the back yard LOL
Also purchased some new plates, bowls and glasses from a local store as they were 1/2 off,

Hi,

Drove from Stoney Nakoda Casino to pick up my daughter and her boyfriend.

Taking a break using a Telus data stick and a Mofi router, to check emails.

I'm laying on the couch with an inverter powered fan blowing on me--while cooking supper in an inverter powered slow cooker.

I wonder why I even consider having a generator?

Hi TreeSeeker,

I added a 2nd battery bank (500 additional amp-hours). I added a 2nd wire from the engine charging circuit to that bank. I can charge one bank while using the other, or I can use and charge both at the same time. I can do the same with the solar charging output.

The two battery banks can be "strapped" together via the heavy duty manual switches for my inverter.

I get about 70 amps maximum from the two charging circuits. The OEM maxes out at about 30 amps and the add on at about 40 amps.

They will also act as a "poor man's boost system". If I turn on the ignition energy will flow from the house battery bank and solar panels into the engine battery.

I chose to have heavy duty solenoids that have 50 amp automatic circuit breakers on them.

Please expound, what do you mean by a "second charging circuit?"

Hi blackfyreterv,

I should have mentioned that there are 12 volt slow cookers. They work quite well.

I think it is time for Rehoppe to have his/her eyes checked:)

Hi,

I use an inverter. Slow cookers don't draw a lot of power--a 400 watt inverter would be plenty for mine (278 watts measured)

OK do you run the generator to run the slowcooker or do you use an inverter and if so what size? this sounds like a wonderful idea :D

Hi,

Slow cooked a pork roast and dressing as I trundled through the Mountains from Invermere to Airdrie.

It was so nice to arrive and have dinner ready to eat.

pulled off the seal under the cabover to let the water drain out of the front cowling.

here... we... go...
