Bob,  thanks for the advice but I planned ahead.  The van is very comfortable already.  285 Solarworld  panel that finds some amps almost completely shaded or like yesterday totally fogged in, Midnite Kid controller, ARB 50 quart fridge.  Also a full size Spa Sensations gel memory foam mattress...

I looked on TTNT.com for a minute and will try to spend more time there.  My problem is lack of time.  I was going to stay in the home until sold so I would have plenty time to search and have a trailer built  with widows, RV door etc. I will insulate with polysio my self.  It works great in my...

Guess the ones I talked to have plenty of business as no one called back to answer questions that said they would. I am not keeping that much stuff but it will not fit in the van and I hate paying for storage. Might have to pay storage for a couple months.

2006 Chevy Express 2500 with 6.0

Thanks for the info given so far.  I am waiting on some call backs with more details offered. I am a little overwhelmed with picking the right axle, frame and other choices also.  Any advice in those kind of items?

What I think I want is a cargo trailer 6 X 12.  From reading older post it looks like it should have Dexter axle or dual axle.  It should also be made mostly of aluminum. I would like it to have RV door on side, roof racks installed I can add solar panels on and  a window on side away from...

I know a guy owns a hardware store covered with a lot of solar panels in Florida.  He showed me all the controllers in the back room. He also showed me all the credits Florida Power and Light owed him.  He will not pay a bill for a long time but the power company will not pay him for the...

I love Thai food cooked in a Wok.  Especially Pad Se Ew !!!  The problem is finding a propane burner with enough BTU output. Most professional woks are sitting on over 100,000 BTU burner so you can not get the same flash hot cooking flavor on a propane burner that most have. I purchased a semi...

There is a beautiful Maxifuse holder by Blueseas products that i drool over: https://www.bluesea.com/products/5006/MA..._30_to_80A SternWake, I use one of these as input to my fuse box.  I somehow screwed up the first one by tightening the screws without a fuse when i was checking it out. I...

Thanks for all the advice and yes I read and appreciate all SternWakes advice also. When my AGM batteries decide they are not happy with how I treated them i will go to the 6 volt golf cart's unless LiFePO's are a little cheaper by then. Again thanks for everyone's help on this forum.

I set up all the monitor settings when my AGM batteries were brand new and fully charged so the 100% charge shown was I guess pretty close. The problem I have now is when I occasionally run the batteries down to at least 50% and recharge with my Black and Decker smart charger. When the smart...

yes I did save settings and still did not work.  I think firmware will be next. To clarify though if I disconnect battery will the battery monitor settings for whiz bang and amp hours be lost?

Do I have to unhook the solar panel and battery connection for it to take the setting? If the battery is disconnected do you loose the monitor settings?

I tried eco and did not go out.

I stopped the scrolling but do not see any settings for backlight. Also have AGM batteries so no specific gravity readings available.

Sabatical, I have the Kid and Whiz Bang monitor also. Wandering if you could help with the following. 1.  The display always stays on and never dims. 2.  I have never changed any settings for the battery monitor since it was 1st setup.  Should it be reset at times so the amp hours available...

The Seeker.

It may well need oil.  I may add some.  I think they have refrigerant with oil included that could be used. I only know enough about A/C to be dangerous.  The A/C tools I acquired fairly cheaply have saved me a lot of money on A/C repairs over the years living in hot humid Florida. My van is...

My 06 Chevy Express 2500 A/C quit working about a month ago.  It may not have been cooling as well as should but with temps in North Florida down to the high 80's  I did not notice until it quit totally. The first thing I did was grab a kind of rusty can of R134 and my fill hose. This is where...

I soak brown beans (pinto beans) over night and discard this water. This will also help with the side effects beans may cause! Add Streak O Lean or some bacon to pot first and cook for a few minutes. Instead of water I use a box or 2 of beef broth.  Bring to a boil then turn heat down and slow...
