Re: Places to fill with fresh water and clever ways to fill ..
I don't own one but here is a thought for you, https://www.amazon.com/WaterBasics-Emergency-Storage-Filter-RED-II-120/dp/B00P8EBDB8/ref=sr_1_18?crid=2WQGGHLD3P991&dchild=1&keywords=emergency+water+bladder&qid=1622717624&sprefix=emergency+water+bladder%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-18474Views0likes0CommentsRe: Where to put generator in 21' travel trailer

Look this product up and I think your problem will be solved. If you read the reviews on a website with the same name as a South American river you will see my pics of my Champion generator and 2 five gallon cans. RichH I did this on a 30 ft fifth wheel. Hauled my 158 lb generator about 10000 miles with no issues.715Views0likes0CommentsRe: Battery Charging Troubleshooting
Checked with my hydrometer and reading 1.225 so the 90% sounds about right. I have the converter in boost mode now with charging rate of .335 amps. The percentage charged is going up slowly. Can anyone recommend a stand alone charger which would equalize charge the T105's?685Views0likes0CommentsBattery Charging Troubleshooting
Here’s my equipment: Battery Monitor with shunt. ( not a Victron or Trimetric but seems to be accurate) Trojan T-105’s x 2 ( one month old, water level is good) Progressive Dynamics 55 amp converter with charge wizard( I replaced a WFCO) 200 watts portable solar. 6 AWG cables from converter to battery via battery disconnect switch. Looks like about a 5-6 ft run. I have a new Fifth Wheel. It appears that my batteries are not charging above 90% using the converter. Seems the charging amperage is minuscule above about 87% or so. On the converter a whole day goes up like .4 %. Today my monitor basically showed no charge from converter (less than 1 amo) I hooked up solar today and was getting about .5 Amps charging but was charging. I did not have a battery monitor on my previous fifth wheel but the voltage and behavior of the charge wizard indicated I was charging to 100% after a couple days. Is it possible something like the battery cutoff is retarding charging from the converter?3.1KViews0likes12Comments
