    Want 6v Trojan AGM Deep Cycles - help?

    i'm looking at these Trojan solar AGM deep cycles. They say 335 rating for 100-hour. 20-hr only has like 1.89. Now I'm totally confused. https://www.trojanbattery.com/solar-agm-2/

    Want 6v Trojan AGM Deep Cycles - help?

    I will tally the weights for the trailer and truck as best I can before we purchase the batteries just in case that weight matters, as well as if I were to discover I need six 6volts instead of 4. Just in case I'll be sure to know before we buy. We are not doing this twice. We have a 7 x 16...

    Want 6v Trojan AGM Deep Cycles - help?

    I had not heard that, lithiums did not outgas. I thought only AGMs were safe inside. Well, I figure by the time the AGMs wear out there will be something else new and great and I"ll decide then. Too many places to put $$ when building from scratch. Paint alone. Insulation, flooring, solar...

    What could you build in this??

    I wouldn't like to worry about the height clearance. It sure looks awesome though.

    Want 6v Trojan AGM Deep Cycles - help?

    128 is too heavy. Wayne is soon having a double hernia repair due to lifting a large battery sent through his FedEx ship store. The 4 we are thinking of are 95 pounds each - still not light. Fortunately the problem was caught and will be fixed through workers comp before retiring and traveling.

    Want 6v Trojan AGM Deep Cycles - help?

    Oh - lithium is out. The batteries have to go in the cabin - no outside storage bays. Thus we are going AGM under the bed in a built for it containment box vent with holes in the floor.

    Want 6v Trojan AGM Deep Cycles - help?

    The entire trailer is being built with weight totals and distribution being charted. This is an experiment in building a trailer around my stuff that is the shortest and least wide we can comfortably travel 2 years with while maintaining all weight limits of the truck and trailer while camping...

    Want 6v Trojan AGM Deep Cycles - help?

    Learning all this stuff is difficult. Not just normal difficult. I push myself hard because it is important to force myself to think and push through the hangups. After a stroke a got a jury duty excuse from my neurologist due to cognative issues. I have made a lot of progress since then...

    Composting Toilets: Legal?

    Below is a well reasearched and written article that boils down to it's ok and legal to dump waste packaged well into the cans that will go into the landfill: http://www.livesmallridefree.com/blog/where-to-responsibly-empty-your-composting-toilet After looking at all sides of this, I think the...

    Composting Toilets: Legal?

    This BLM document describes how they approve of the dumping of the waste into bags and landfill: file:///C:/Users/Logan/Downloads/portabletoilets.pdf They do state it is dependent upon the state laws. The particular document was found but I wasn't all that convinced on who really put it out...

    Composting Toilets: Legal?

    I'll write the CDC and check with them and we'll see what they say. Then I'll check with the states and see what they say. I'll let you know, maybe some are right, some of us have it wrong. I did not call the entire board lazy. I called people who don't take care of what they should take...

    I found a drop down link for my zip code and we will be able to pick them up locally.  That will be a great plus.

    Want 6v Trojan AGM Deep Cycles - help?

    Yes, this is what we are going to do.  Michael from Duet Justus does a great video on this. I found the Trojan website and there are three RE 12v solars to choose from, each with a different amp hour rating and weight.  So now I am trying to figure out what weight and space I have available...

    Want 6v Trojan AGM Deep Cycles - help?

    I thnk we are going to go with four 6-volt AGM deep cycle batteries.   Can those of you experienced at buying these give me an idea of where I should purchase, model # and link to good price? Thinking about 200-220 amp hours each. I have spent so many hours trying to figure out parts to this...

    Composting Toilets: Legal?

    People have been RVing for many years before the nomads looking to live free decided to join them in whatever vehicle gets them there. RVs have built in septic systems which go into community septic systems and the waste is properly taken care of. Campers who stay at campgrounds often have pit...

    Composting Toilets: Legal?

    If you have children and are doing this if it is against the law one for sanitary reasons, and it is likely if you do not have a proper disposal system, you may be subject to problems there. Just a heads up. Shouting the law does not apply to me because I interpret it differently won't do any...
