    Should a solar setup be wired like this?

    If it is fused like you say. that is probably fine, but I also don't see a fuse between the Controllers and the busbar. The wire management is a mess and some of the connections look a bit rough. Loose wires in a vehicle are a recipe for disaster. The inverter isn't the best but those HF ones...

    Average Miles Per Gallon for Class C and B+ RVs?

    So for comparison, my 1996 35' Class A gets about 10 @ 65MPH and 9.3 @ 70MPH cruise. That's for about 300 Sq foot weighing in at 9 tons. 250 HP/650 LbFt Cat 3126 Diesel Pusher. @100K miles, It's barely broken in. I got 6-8 with my 4.6 Gas V8 in my Sport Trac pulling a 25' TT. Go Big Diesel.

    $10 for package delivery to UPS Store?

    Then your UPS Store needs to be reported to UPS. Some Franchisees are taking the piss and tacking on fees they are not authorized to. It should be free, as in hold for pickup. It is included in what you already paid. I hate UPS. I Hate UPS Stores even more. The one near me is full of idiots...

    Are the propane exchanges underfilling their tanks?

    Heh, Having propane tanks refilled is the "normal" way. The exchange is the "new" way. They under fill them. That is how they cover the cost of the transportation and refurb of the tanks. The only good thing about tank exchange is when your tank comes up for expiration, you can swap it for a...

    B2b chargers?

    I could connect the computer to the house side, just wanted to keep it all on the same "side" of things. There are other things in the coach that drain the battery, such as the in dash stereo, and the engine and transmission management computers. The 100A panel on the roof that is OEM is now 23...

    B2b chargers?

    Following this. I want to be able to keep my starting batteries topped up from the house bank which is on solar. Then I can leave the computer that I use for the engine management turned on all the time.

    Warning to those looking @ the new "Ram" Vans.

    JD, Thank you for your assessment. I totally appreciate it. The 200K mile comparison is eye opening, but in line with what i have been seeing of late WRT GM's, their transmissions seem to be better these days. The Ford 5R55E was a pile of shite, but the newer ZF Derived 6R80 is exemplary...

    absorption chillers

    Kinda like a steam engine. Very large for relatively little output. If you are stationary, sure, it could be done but mobile? Gotta cargo trailer to haul it?

    Where is the best place to buy my first propane tank?

    "Craig's for a $5 rusted old BBQ 20# past inspection date. Swap at Blue Rhino, or where you can pick out a nice newer one. Pay by the gallon or pound from then on, only go back to the swap when the stamped inspection time's approaching." Totally agree with this. The pricing for the swaps...

    all in one

    By the looks of the selectors, you cannot use everything at the same time unless the griddle is also the heat for the toaster. Could easily be.

    Buying a 2018 Promaster 1500 - NOT high top tomorrow …

    Funny that the dealer couldn't tell you the difference between a 1500 and 2500. Makes a huge difference in a Pickup. He needs to go back to selling fiat 500's...
