    Need Help- Maxx Fan to Starter Battery? (temporary)

    My son has cut the hole for my Maxx fan and working on its install but I still do not have house batteries or solar set up. Please can someone tell me the best way to connect it until I can get my solar set up?  1.  Can I run it straight to the starter battery?  I am aware that it may ruin...

    Brian, the reply came back addressing only why they were there and not the question asking if they thought it would be okay to remove them. I sent back another email asking again. Btw, according to the first reply: depending on what state, handicap transport companies have to have roll bars...

    Please help place my panel order

    Bardo, why would you prefer a 17 vmps on a 140 watt over a 19 vmp on a 180 watt panel? Also, why is it not good the 19 vmp is the same size as the17 vmp?

    Thanks Dr Nelson. This morning I emailed Fiberline regarding this rollbar and if I can remove it. I'm sure they have to word their answer so not to be liable but any indication it can even somewhat be safely done should appease my son. Waiting for their answer

    ^^Sturgis, that is my argument against them too. Perhaps if enough people agree here to remove them then my boy will do so. BTW they are heavy steel and all attached points welded. They do not touch the hightop but run from wall to wall. The question is really are they needed and are they worth...

    Please help place my panel order

    Walkabout, I didn't spend a lot of time searching reviews for this panel and company but the first site I found the reviewer wrote after a few days while sitting in his driveway 2 cells burned out and the company was not responsive. The reviewer put out a beware on customer service.  However...

    I know Almost, but I don't get why Millineum did this when I see vans like Dr Nelson's, one year older than Carmon, that don't have them. They irk me. What's the point of a hightop if anyone over 5' 4" can't stand up? My son refuses to take them out for the same safety reasons. As far as...

    Dr Nelson, thanks for the link. I think we are on the right track. I am not even half done and have already used a half gallon of this primer. Sturgis, thanks for your tip on the Westinghouse. One of my deterrents is the ability to lift a generator. Do you know the weight on yours?

    feeling stuck in my situation.

    Idk, I had to let go of my little dog I had in my life for almost 8 years. I own a service dog and he took priority. I found a great home for my little one by soliciting within the homeless shelter. She went to a teenage girl and her single father who the shelter and social services helped...

Unfortunately, we had postpone installing strong Maxxair fan due to another heat wave but he did get my subfloor cut (on a105 degree day). I'm using 3/4" plywood with nothing under it. Also I...
