Re: My Gas Spring Adventure
Eugene, I just watched your video.? And although the orientation of the struts is supposed to be better than when they push the opposite way, you still struggle a bit.? Mine are 60# front and rear,

Re: My Gas Spring Adventure
Eugene: Nice clean install! The goal, however, hasn't been met yet: you will have the right gas spring pressures installed when you can stop the roof midway up or down and it'll hang there -

Re: My Gas Spring Adventure
Here is the little video I made to show the first time closing and opening and evaluating the results. In the video I ask the question of myself:? "Is there anything I can do about that?" My video
Re: My Gas Spring Adventure
Wow, nice job, looks like a really clean install. I got a few questions if you got the time .? Thanks for sharing. Does it seem to help? Is it very noticable with the assist? Would you change

Re: My Gas Spring Adventure
Well I have them installed.? The first 2 are 40# and attached to the front roof as illustrated in? the picture.? The rear springs are 50# and mounted the same way.? I had planned to have them all

Re: Solar charger recommendations
Responding to various comments: I've used the Scotch permanent outdoor mounting tape to mount various things, but I hesitate to use that stuff, because if you ever need to remove it, you risk

Re: Solar charger recommendations
David, I just completed the installation yesterday, so no road test yet. I can¡¯t imagine it will flutter because it is well secured to the frame with very little air gap. ?I¡¯ll have to watch the

Re: Solar charger recommendations
JoeS - Nice use of the waterproof enclosure around the charge controller. ?Are you using 2 AWG between the controller and the panels? ?Does it flap in the wind while under way? OP - I am a huge

Re: Solar charger recommendations
I¡¯ve installed a Renogy 350 watt flexible solar kit on the front dormer of my Aliner Classic. I¡¯m happy with the frame but I wish the wiring was a little cleaner. Maybe later. I returned the

12.5 is the recharge point I have adhered to.??

Re: Solar charger recommendations
Practically speaking, I would not want my lead-acid battery to go below 12.0 volts after waiting 8 hours since charging, to insure that surface charge dissipates. But keep in mind that using voltage

Re: Solar charger recommendations
Correct.? Just to be aware, whenever you are drawing power from the battery it's apparent voltage will drop , possibly well below 12.0 because of the current flow.? If you had a meter connected to

Some states require breakaway brakes - it's very irresponsible to circumvent a safety feature.? Not just for yourself but for the other people on the road too Again you could have a small battery

Re: Camper battery
No, you don't need any battery. Your converter will still provide for your 12 volt accessories (interior lights, fantastic fan, CO detector) when you are plugged into shore power. If you have

Re: Solar charger recommendations
Does this mean try not to let the battery go below 12.2 volts under charge or after resting? Bill

You need a battery for the trailer emergency brakes in case the trailer becomes disconnected while towing. That's the only reason - a battery is really necessary - you could? just get a small battery

Do I really need a 12v deep cycle marine battery or any battery at all for my 2022 Scout Lite? I rarely boondock. And I have rechargeable puck lights and two rechargable fans for air movement?
