Have the trailer in boondocking mode. Some old batteries and 150w of solar. The batteries are showing 13v. I have a little 300w inverter to charge my laptop and things. 14 gauge wire is feeding the little inverter and the USB panel. Doesnt that seem ...
Done this the last couple summers with a household filter. Its the black label from Lowes. The different sizes are the same price, so get the 20x30 (or largest you see) if you decide to try it. I remove the foam filter and the plastic screen. Last ye...
Wonder if my WFCO is starting to go bonkers. Yesterday it went into 14.4v charging mode. I can hear my fans get louder and then confirm voltage with a small voltage display. No biggie. Today i heard my fan turn loud. Voltage display showed 14.4 which...
I have my bathroom fan turned on to blow out some hot air. The square shroud has a dime sized crack in it that leads to the attic space. For a second i thought darn, need to seal that so fiberglass and dust from the attic space doesnt go blowing into...

I think that partially depends on your lifestyle. We never have visitors. 1 dog bit the UPS guys a couple years back. Different dog jumped at the amazon girl when she tried to step out the van. If you are the type that entertains friends and has stra...
Cameras all the way man. I could tell you if a mouse visited my trailer. Luckily its just been bunnies. Lots of ways to make it work but with 12v batteries, solar, wifi ($20 a month jetpack works), and cameras you can get as creative as you want. Im ...
You could get an extension cord. Use a clamp to touch a prong to the negative wire where it attaches to the battery. Run the extension cord over to your panel and check for continuity between the cord and the negative at the panel.
Sweet. Do you have solar? If yes you want to choose the charge profile for wet cell batteries. They get slightly higher voltage. Also benefit from the occasional equalization charge of 16v.
Been meaning to get a rack for the convention microwave. I find their biggest flaw is only having a heating element up top. I normally use a big pan with a lid on the propane stove to act like a toaster. I would take a toaster over the microwave anyd...
