    Defective Charge Controller?

    Thanks for the info @seminole Wind...I’ve looked at the Victron controllers, just went with Renogy since it came in the kit. We’ll see how the warranty works and go from there I suppose.

    Defective Charge Controller?

    Installed our solar panels and charge controller today, but the charge controller is getting no power from panels.  Tested the leads coming from solar panels and they are testing at 21 volts.  Our charge controller is a Renogy 20amp mppt charge controller.  We happen to have 2 of these and...

    Refrigerators

    We have had this same size/model Alpicool for about 6 months now. It keeps everything amazingly cold for a small amount of energy use. A very good price point if you only needs to cool a small amount of items.

    Recommend Magnets

    Looking for recommendations for magnets to hold our bug screens on our doors and windows and other miscellaneous useful things. Bob mentioned some in a video once and I can’t find the video or links ☹️

    1990 Ford E150 Econoline Van

    When they had previously looked at the fuel selector valve they noticed there wasn’t a screen and added one. The van vomited has and ran like crap. We don’t know whether the replacement part has a screen or not. Next test run the weekend of the 9th...hoping she doesn’t have anymore problems.

    1990 Ford E150 Econoline Van

    @jasper “If the OP has two fuel tanks and an electrically operated fuel tank selector, they have been known to restrict/stop fuel flow.” this is exactly what the cause was! So for years the fuel selector valve didn’t work and we just ran one tank. so here are the repairs they made before...

    1990 Ford E150 Econoline Van

    So after 3 days at the mechanic before they could reproduce the van dying they diagnosed it as the ignition modual as @highdesertranger mentioned. This weekend we took it for a 100 mile drive around the interstate, stopped and got gas, drove to another store no problem. We were so excited...

    1990 Ford E150 Econoline Van

    I figured this was as good a place as any to seek a solution. Our 1990 E150 van starts and runs great.  When we stop after driving maybe an hour the van will start, but will die either shortly after or inconveniently 5 miles down the road on the highway. Now if we stop and don’t turn the...

    Ready, Set....Go List

    I too visualize the “south wing” in a castle...don’t ruin our delusions ? We just purchased the Endless Breeze fan made by fantastic fans and it really is fantastic. Runs off 12v. I don’t know what your power source will be, but the power draw is low and moves some serious air.

    HELLO!

    We’ll find out tomorrow when the fan goes in the roof. We did invest in a Endless Breeze fan that Bob recommended as well...it moves some major air as well and will be nice to have to keep air moving on the dogs as well. Hoping we can do one more outing before we head out for 10 days in...

    Dometic vs Off Brand

    We just purchased a 20L Alpicool after watching a YouTube video where he monitored the performance. I’ve read so many reviews on so many brands and all seem to have happy and unhappy customers. I’m hoping that even though the Alpicool isn’t as popular we will have good luck with it. We are...

    Alpicool or dometic ???

    Thank you so much Jeff! I’m sure the set up instructions will be handy. Meat is optional in our diet so no need for so much storage as we mostly eat vegetarian (me always, him 3-4 days a week ?) he’s also lactose intolerant so no milk needed. So I basically spent $300 to keep my jam and his...
