RE: Feedback on 12V water heater element as solar diversion load
ewarnerusa,
Go for it!
I originally intended to use the battery bank to run the fridge for 12 hours before taking a trip.
I never got around to doing so--and the controller did not have a diversion load terminal.

RE: Inverter and battery sizing to power my camper microwave
If you get the 40 amp there is a pin that can be pulled to limit it to 20 amps.

RE: No 110 Volts to Hot Water Heater Element
Hi,
I thought my element had failed. I bought a new one. After replacement, the new one started to work. I guess the relay had frozen "open" and the act of replacing the element "fixed" it.

RE: 8 Gauge Wire
One possible solution is a dc to DC charger.
But likely an inverter is a better choice. It can be MSW and about 400 watts.

RE: Inverter and battery sizing to power my camper microwave
I can tell you that inrush on a 1000 watt psw inverter is high enough to blow a 30 amp fuse. And that is with no load. DAMHIK

RE: Verizon Grandfathered Unlimited Plan
It is interesting to measure speeds. The local company that I'm connected to via wifi has a download speed of 300 mbps. However, they limit upload to only 10. A swindle, I'd say.

RE: Inverter and battery sizing to power my camper microwave
LaneW,
Consider using a dedicated female plug--one for the generator, one for the inverter.
OR
Use an inverter/charger that allows for load support.

RE: Inverter and battery sizing to power my camper microwave
Hi,
Inverter loses are about 12%
1350 x 1.12 = 1512 watts / 12v = 126 amps = no problem running microwave
Just choose a battery monitoring system that allows 100 amps to be drawn from the battery bank.
Do wire the batteries in a balanced manner.

RE: yet another door look bites the dust
Since you are in a class C, it doesn't matter but you should be able to unscrew and remove the lock from inside the RV. When mine broke, I had no problem finding a replacement at an RV parts store. I never saw an all steel model. Mine has plastic parts on the inside.
Thanks for the reply.
Except that the screen door covers one of the screws. What a 'smart' design.

Hi,
Does anyone have a source for a trimark all steel lock?
It's a good thing I'm in a class C. Being locked in is not much fun.

RE: Toad Battery Charger
Geobiker,
Look into dc to DC chargers. Mine is from Renogy

RE: Fuel tank leaks when we fill it
If it is diesel there is little chance of ignition.
You could fill the tank until the first click off happens.
