    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    ..trying to wrap up summer projects here too. The cedar topped upper & lower decks I built, and have maintained for the last 40 yrs have outlasted my desire & energy to continue that endless yearly process. So this week instead of the DIY deck project of 40 yrs ago, I hired a local craftsman to...

    How to drain water tanks?

    What concentration is the commercial peroxide you are using, and where are you getting it? I'm seeing commercial from 12% - 35%. where the off the shelf stuff at the drug store is normally 3%. You must not live in an area where freezing the tank and plumbing during storage is a concern, or does...

    plugging into the on-board charger

    Well I thought you may have been inside with all the windows closed for too long, but that's different. As said by others a battery charging shouldn't be emitting CO. What type of battery do you have? If it's an open flooded cell battery it would give off some hydrogen, but if it's an AGM sealed...

    Soft Starter for AC

    I'm not sure if there have been different manufactures, but the AC unit in ours is a little different than some of the newer units. The controls are on the left end of the outlet vents at the top, rather than along the side below the outlet vents. It would still be nice to know just how large a...

    Soft Starter for AC

    I did do a little more research, and found that LG makes a 6000 btu dual inverter AC. Amazon.com I couldn't find anything in the specs about it's startup power draw, or running power draw, so I emailed LG's technical support and asked about that yesterday. I got this reply today: Thank you for...

    What Is The One Thing From 2022...

    I can't speak for rmbrowder, but you are correct that connecting to the 110 AC plug on the outside would be the preferred method, both for safety, and for keeping the sogen cooler when working. However there is a way to power the CI's 12V and 110 AC systems with the sogen inside the galley, and...

    Soft Starter for AC

    Well maybe as a dealer you can influence them to meet the growing demand for smaller units for teardrops, and small RV's that want to be off grid/and/or use smaller gens and sogens for power. Come on Sweeney, you can do it! Just keep saying "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can";)

    Soft Starter for AC

    FWIW, in watching the review on the soft start options, and the reviewer referred to the Furrion Chill Cube, which is an 18000 btu RV rooftop unit with an inverter compressor as beating any of the soft start options currently available. He showed the amperage draw at startup was a low 2.8 amps...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    My first mower was an 18" Lawn Boy commercial trim mower that my dad bought in 1963 from my uncle who was a Chevy dealer, and who also sold Lawnboy mowers. I used that for my lawn mowing jobs until I left home, but when I finished my schooling and was in a position to buy our first home, I got...

    Favorite Budget Not-from-ci-accessory

    We like those woven plastic rugs too! They don't absorb rain or spilled water, and sand etc. usually just shakes off. We use a bit larger one that mostly fills our pop-up shelters (either Clam or Gazelle) that enclose our galley area and about 10 ft outboard, and then smaller ones (like 3x5...

    Worst Trailer Comment Yet!

    Yeah, all the smoke coming down from the Canadian wild fires has kept things pretty gloomy around here for the past week too. So wearing it now is certainly appropriate. I'm wearing mine today too, hoping it will chase the smoke away. Here's a link to smoke forecasting site: Smoke Forecast -...
