The best that you can do is know your needs and make the best choices in battery type, capacity, A charge controller that has user defined settings with TC and enough solar to replace what you use on a daily basis at the very least. Taking the time to maintain them is key.Re: Advice on handheld electric drill for jacksI take great care to boondock as isolated as I can unless it's for work. I prefer solitude and have no issues taking 4x4 trails to get it. So while I will never chose to take a spot where I can see or hear others or they me, it doesn't keep others from deciding they need to be uncomfortably close. So if you decide to park on top of someone and they made a noise from time to time I would hope that you would accept responsibility for the decision you made and not blame them. When I am around others I treat them with the same respect that I would hope that they would treat me.Re: Advice on handheld electric drill for jacksI use a impact wrench but as usual if you can hear me, you parked too close. My Royobi drill doesn't have the torque and the chuck loosens in reverse.Re: water water everywhere but not a drop to drink!Wow! What a great idea Why hasn't someone thought of it before? Oh yeah IT'S NASTY! Don't you think if this was feasible that RV manufactures and even home builders would have done it long ago? That filter will become a petri dish after the first use. The difference between this and a bath is you do not possibly forcibly spray dirty water into your eyes, ears, nose and mouth with a bath. It might be interesting when your doctor prescribes jock itch meds for the rash on your face. I have met this person. I envy his mini split A/C.Re: Check your batteriesThe Lifelines are AGM so no water to check but I do get in there and check the connections due to the rather rough roads I traverse. Hard to believe they are still doing the job at around 9 years old. How are you and the Polish princess doing?Re: AGM Mystery Capacity Crash Below 75% SOC UPDATEHave you tried breaking up the bank to see if just one of the batteries is the problem?Re: Quartzsite LTVAI am hoping to make it back to La Posa south around the end of October. Our camp is just beyond the Magic circle sign. Internet is good except for Sprint which does work once you get closer to the RV dump. Verizon tends to get overloaded during the peak of the season. It was 112* before we left this spring. The solar ran the twin 5000 BTU A/C's most of the day so I only needed the generator after I lost the light in the evening. It was still miserable going out for the dog, working on things and shopping.Re: Learn about solar for rv'sYou have a massive resource of info right here from people that actually use solar. Anyone can google up a storm and put it all into a book. Experience is what gives a person the understanding needed to know why to choose between the options and not just pick the best of because sometimes what something is the best of at has nothing to do with your needs.Re: Surface and Terminal Mount Fuse BlocksTerminal block holders also come in doubles or you can use this fuse block bus bar. Blue Sea Systems MRBF Surface and Terminal Mount Fuse Blocks Re: Yet another "Is this generator a good one" threadPlease do not take what I say as to mean that I am anti Honda. I posted in the Champion thread that if you plan on running the generator for hours day after day that you should get the Honda for the better piston sleeve. It is just sad to see the instant brand bashing and the false representation that Honda is infallible. My friend still waits to get the recall done on his 2200 because either they can not get the parts or the shops are too busy. Just to get his running again cost more than I paid for my Sportsman 800w to do a oil change and carb job. Some day I will get time to pull the 800 apart and clean its carb up OR identify it and get a new one off of Amazon for $22. So it seems parts ARE available. It's about filling your needs and it is no skin off of my nose if you need something different than what I use.
