Here’s what is in the SGP manual. Honestly it’s Greek to me but I thought I’d post it in the hopes that it helps you.

That could have come out Jello. Or yello. I was thinking, maybe Hollywood will do another remake of "Vanishing Point" with an electric Challenger. I can't picture a big explosion at the end though. Maybe just the sound of eddy currents.

The bms in the two 12.8-volt lifepo4 brands I have are both set to 15 volts for high voltage disconnect, or 3.75 volts per cell. That's not the max charging voltage. That the high volt disconnect of the bms. Both brands suggest a maximum of 14.6 volts charging voltage. If your three batteries...

Stabilizer bar is what it's called these days. The people on the RV forums that refer to their camper's "breaks" makes the top of my head wanna blow off. Brakes can break and when you break brakes they're broken brakes. Maybe that's why some of them get confused.

Back in the early 80's I flew to Venezuela several times for work. Pan Am had their oldest B-747-100 aircraft on the run from Miami to Caracas. That flight was informally known as The Pamper Express because the cargo hold was always packed with Pampers on the southbound leg. It was so dirty that...

The 300ah Nojoke is $567.59. I think I'm going to buy one tomorrow morning. Its hard to justify buying camping gear in the dead of winter but that's a pretty good price in my opinion.

Hi JMM Garza. I've been watching your videos for a while. We own a 2021 2205S, with two 190 watt panels on the roof ( one Go Power, one HQST, with two more 190 watt HQST panels to be mounted next spring), a 60-amp mppt charge controller in the pass through compartment, lifepo4 batteries in the...

Our camper has an Everchill 11 cubic foot 12-volt refrigerator/freezer which consumes 4-5 amps when the compressor is running. On average, it runs 30 minutes of every hour. It's been replaced once under warranty. At $1400, I'll replace it with a 120-volt unit and inverter from a big box store if...

I like your bunny picture. I feed the bunnies in our backyard. We have one bunny that's finally grown to the point that his body is now proportional to his giant head. It sounds goofy, but I go out to feed the bunnies shortly before dark and this one is usually sitting five or six feet from the...

I'm going to politely disagree with Aussie guy about needing to replace the GoPower controller, although I'd agree that it's a good idea. The GoPower is a 30-amp pwm controller so it'll handle three 200-watt flat mounted panels connected in parallel. We ran ours that way for two years. Of...

Will, you're right about the manual. I installed an EasyStart on our camper's 15,000 btu rooftop air conditioner. Thank goodness for YouTube and the folks that post detailed videos. I'd be lost if I had to follow the instruction manual. Also, you're right about them being a bit pricey. One for...

The subtle difference between the two is the couch is for sitting on and the davenport is for looking at.

Hi. I see you're also in Michigan. I'm near the lakeshore, west of Grand Rapids. Great weather we're having, isn't it? My charge controller voltages are set for bulk charge voltage of 14.2 with the float voltage set at 13.2. When my lifepo4 battery bank reaches 14.2 volts, the charge controller...

Yeah, I'm in the "why is my inexpensive stuff working so good?" group. Everything just keeps on keepin' on. With product names like Kepworth, Pionergy, SunGoldPower and no-name-at-all, it's a mystery.

I understand both sides of the conversation. In our case, a low frequency 2000/4000 watt inverter-charger would have worked just fine for our camper. The only reason I bought the 3000/9000 inverter-charger was because it can charge at up to 85 amps whereas the 2000/4000 charges at up to 45...

At least I saw some periods and question marks. And yes, I noticed a few other things,,,,

Not that I didn’t find the discussion about springs, bars and shocks interesting, the only spring I’m excited about is the spring season, which might be here in west Michigan in about five months.

I'm an idiot about most things. I'm reasonably smart about one or two subjects and electricity is NOT on that list. I'm not shy about saying "I don't know" when I don't know. I'm ok with that. My personal peeve is with the camper owners (and camper dealers) who use "converter" and "inverter"...

Is that like, "A hospital? What is it?" "It's a building with people inside." "And don't call me Shirley." "Give me a vector, Victor." "Roger, Rodger." We had pizza delivered tonight.

I agree that propane would probably be better in your application; Minimal power loss (compared to gasoline) given that your elevation is near sea level. Propane's shelf life is rated in years rather than gasoline's shelf life of months. Propane is generally considered to be safer to store than...

I wish it was me but alas, it is not me.

I did a lot of maintenance on bug smashers back in the day. That's a beautiful hangar/shop!

I certainly understand being on a tight budget. There was a time when I had to live out of the vending machines at work. I can't says the vending machine egg salad sandwiches were great but they were edible and cheap.

To clarify my earlier post, I'm very happy with the 12-volt refrigerator's performance. Our camper has a 500ah lifepo4 battery bank, 760 watts of solar panels on the roof and a 60-amp mppt solar charge controller so energy consumption isn't an issue. The refrigerator is very quiet as it has a...

Do any of the rental companies around you have solar generators for rent? I'd try a rental to see if it works. I guess I wouldn't be surprised at the fairly low starting watts listed by the lift company, seeing as it's basically a low pressure-high volume blower. Shore stations like yours are...

I can't help with a name but you might be able to ask the head ranger at the Ionia State Recreation Area who installed their system.

I just noticed that these are offered on Amazon again after being out of stock for a while. Note; I'm not the seller and I don't get anything if they get sold. So far it looks like I'm the only person to leave a review for the 300ah battery. Thanks to the person who researched the cells and bms.

It could be resistance in the leads. I have the same power supply and I made new leads using copper wire. Big difference. I think Will mentioned this in one of his videos.

Moving right along,,,, How about them Detroit Lions?
