they are good. the 24 volt unit is safe and reliable. the electronic diff between the two meters is not going to provide any measure of "toughness", just a different full scale limit. i mounted mine on the wood panel near the battery facing rear so i could see it while standing outside the...

why would chevrolet do this sort of thing?

For sure, he just seemed to present it with a slight chip on his shoulder about it and I'm not sure why. aaaah well the same gets said about me now and then....but i know its not the intention. i know in my case i get a bit passionate defending my POV.

my point exactly! in addition, the 30 amp thermal breaker should trip....maybe it is all the time and no one knows?

A while back I proposed that a guy with a Bigfoot who had bent one of the jacks in Baja make them removable. My thought was to make angle plates that bolted to the corners of the camper that had a plate sticking out at some agreeable angle. In that plate would be 'key-hole' slots. The jacks...

What type of battery are you running in your truck and how often (if at all) have you had to replace it? I just don't see anything good coming out of running a truck starting battery in parallel with camper deep cycles. The normal truck battery isn't made for deep cycle use. Now if you're...

are you aware of the 16 to 1 mine? i was surprised you dont have Alleghaney Ca listed on your site... http://origsix.com/tmarticle.asp?id=293 there is a high density of mines in the vicinity

well no matter how you slice it John has provided a detailed personal insight into his experience. its a good story that i liked reading.

it just does not seem prudent to expose the campers electrical system to the vehicle starting system. while i understand the thought that "there is a spare battery there, take advantage" i dont see how you can do it without providing an adequate current path i.e. big cables. big..... exposing...

i have them too! i run 60 front and rear with the camper on. when i pull the camper i drop the rears to 45-50

What do you think the odds of them actually shorting out are? They'd have to complete a circuit. i had a 48pk of AA's that burst after being washboarded! they were all over the place. i just want to keep them together so that i have a clear understanding of the count and their age. i would...

I'm digging up old threads here, but what about this connector? Think 15 amps is enough for current from the alternator to the aux battery? http://www.westmarin...&classNum=10615 its really risky. IMHO

You mean something like this? Container Store I just put these containers in a small stuff sack. Fresh batteries in the containers, used (rechargable) go in the stuff sack loose. you see! this is why i post this stuff....was not aware of this type of product! thanx!

i carry stuff that uses AA batteries. If I get a pack of these, drive over washboards, they get all jumbled up in the package and I am sure that some must short out. Does anyone have a good solution for carrying a stock of these in a "neat & tidy" fashion?

Well, last night my refrigerator started working again. And I'm at over 9,000 feet in elevation. When I get home from this trip I'll check out the burner slits and see if they need to be cleaned. i wonder, if you peek in the observation port, what does the flame look like? blue and "active"...

thats a little outside our 3 hour maximum driving range for weekender's. sure appreciate to heads up! post some pics so i can show the wife what its like!

i vote for the couch as well. for all the reason kc said!

I contend that these fridge units are not that picky! The manf specs +- 3 and 6 degrees fore/aft and port/strbd. I glued a couple of those hoppy levels to the side of my camper and use those to get thing adequate for sleeping. We are good with a wheel a couple of inches high or low....i like...

please be sure to let us know if that is the solution.

in a pinch any cylinder will do.......a fosters can works well. the wad of paper can support the briquets just fine. coffee cans work good. no reason to buy one....just need some gloves or tongs to tip the coals out since cans have no handles.

its obvious, you are confusing them with outdoorsmen.

thats correct. only the sealed types (VRLA) should be installed insidea camper. Gel or AGM. http://www.dekabatteries.com/assets/base/0139.pdf

I had two of these fans put on my hawk at the time of order back in '07. The rear unit began to balk when raising it's dome. Sometimes it would work and sometimes you would hear a click and it would quit without doing anything. i sent an email explaining my problem to shurflo and within a day...

here is a recent article that mentions SPOT. is battery life really a problem? http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/10/around-the-world-3/
