Re: Solar
If the battery is still in bulk charging mode, the converter will automatically compensate for the voltage drop of the wire, unless it is really large. When the voltage at the charger reaches the

Re: Solar
I have a button on my converter to force it into boost mode, which takes the voltage from around 13.6 to 14.4.? ?That increases the current going into the battery by almost 50%.? The voltage drop

Re: Solar
The voltage drop in the wiring isn't really a problem. During the constant-current (bulk) part of the charge cycle, it doesn't matter at all, unless the drop is so large t

Water under the rug on the floor
Twice we have found water under the rug (rubber backed heavy duty entry carpet) in front of where the a/c vents are when the a/c has been going for a while. Could this be condensation? What can we do

Re: Solar
All good advice for the first time solar user. My only concern: I do not recommend the use of self-contained "suitcase" solar arrays IF they mount the charge controller on the array instead of next

Re: Solar
You're getting a lot of conflicting information so I'll give you some if/thens. If you use only the trailer appliances and minor other stuff like cell phone charging, then get one 100 watt panel.

Re: Solar
One question to ask yourself is: Do you want to setup and take down solar panels at each campsite to follow the sun or mount it permanently to the roof and charge while you travel and take a chance on

Re: Solar
Greetings? Once you figure out your electric needs & wants for your solar setup. If you don't want to set up everything yourself portable power stations are a good alternative that will get you up

Re: Solar
Congratulations James Van Hoy on making a 30 watt panel work and not run out of electricity. Most people fail miserably with a 100 watt panel. As he mentioned it is good to know your usage and then to

Re: Solar
Great question! I added Solar to our 2012 Ranger. First thing is to understand the electrical load: what appliances will be using the electricity. Let¡¯s start with lights and assume they are LED! We

Re: Converting exterior C194 light bulbs to LED's
I have bought LED from Amazon and didn't get the quality I was hoping for. Try https://m4products.com/. Call and they will help you with your decision. They stock far better quality bulbs and

Re: Converting exterior C194 light bulbs to LED's
That's a mighty powerful light. It pulls 830 mA and generates 1700 lumins. My old LED lights were about 1/10th the lumens and that was enough, and they used about 1/7th the amps. That dimmer will

I have used these on my original light fixtures in my 18 expedition. I did not remove the old switch, just put this beside it downstream of the actual switch. 2Pcs DC Motor Speed Controller 1.8V 3V

Re: Converting exterior C194 light bulbs to LED's
Good info Steve. I agree about the brightness.? My current need is exterior, and brightness is not an issue.? However inside, I'm on my second pair of dimmable fixtures.? The one I have now isn't

Re: Converting exterior C194 light bulbs to LED's
The way they make an LED cheaply is they put in a lousy heat sink.? That will cause the bulb to get very warm, burn out prematurely, or even cause a fire. Amazon has a lot of cheap leds that burn

Re: Converting exterior C194 light bulbs to LED's
Hello Don: I bought my clearance lights in interior lights from Northern. The tail lights, Brake Turn & Running, from Amazon. Matching the shape might be hard. Carl.

Re: Converting exterior C194 light bulbs to LED's
I think you're right Carl.? The more I look at it, the cost of LED's adds up, with the various ones required.? And the new fixtures are pretty reasonable.? And as you point out, they are designed

Don, we have replacement led bulb in the original fixtures. At least five years no problems. Sorry I can't tell you where I purchased them. Online somewhere. John
