Oh, I saw 24 volt in the post and mis interpreted...12v inverter, not 24v in the camper. I'll try waiting longer and see what happens tomorrow.
Hedges has the math for you. Get a lower value resistor for the 12v system.

I used it on my Australian camper. Heard about it from an Australian Van builder (Max and Occy) It is amazing stuff! Live in Florida, so now you know 2 Americans that use it! lolyou are the first person I have met from the US that knows about Sikaflex! that stuff is the cats friggin meow!
I always carry an extra water pump...Today was productive. Got almost all the wiring into the breaker box, got the inverter all wired up, got a bundle of wires hanging out the ass end to be joined up to the distribution box on the bussel.

The battery tray can't go in until I re-engineer the lift system and get it mounted. The main 12v lead is currently connected up in the distribution box so I still need to bring that inside and connected in the breaker box, and bring in the shunt monitor wire.
Tomorrow is game day, Monday is work, so hopefully Tuesday will be re-engineering time.
In other news, this camper was obviously a Friday afternoon build. Beyond the excessive use of the blue clamp splices all over the place, I replaced the water pump today. The outlet line of the pump and the inlet line of the water heater were both screwed. The Tee from the water lines underneath is 2in to the left of the holes where the hose goes up through the floor, so both pieces of hose were pinched flat against the bottom. I don't think this thing EVER had real running water, hot or cold. I got the outlet line re-plumbed but next is pulling out the water heater and moving its hose over.
Sigh... at least I'm not bored!
That's where I learned about it too. Unfortunately, much like Coroseal, it became really hard to find because it worked too well.
Nah, too cold and wet for the fire and if I can't cook my corn dogs over a campfire it's just not worth going.Just go man.
You pimped it so you could sit inside and watch TV and have things to eat to pass the time!
Just got back from a 4 day test run...

No sun, 35a charging from the generator, ran out of propane at 530 this morning, heater bearings squealing, rain, snow...
The 78in tv and peace were totally worth it!
Replace bearings, replace any pads that might exist, no oil reservoir. $ That's the plan anyways.Heater fan motor bearing squealing.
1. Replace heater$$$$
2. Replace fan motor$$
3. Remove fan motor, take apart and re-lube the felt pads oil reservoir.$ but needs your time
A little town called Greenwater, WA where my family has been camping since I was 12-ish. So about 462 years according to my back.Where did ya go?

Replace fan motor if bearings are unservicable. It's just scrrws and time.
