I keep both sections outside the trailer and plug an extension cord in. Just like shore power. I do protect the batteries from weather.

CO or CO2? There is a big difference.

An old post from 2022 on my experience with a battery to run the AC. What Is The One Thing From 2022...

Older Honda 2000 generators struggled a bit to start the ac but the new versions work fine. I have a Lion battery set that runs the AC ok. I have a soft start on my garage shelf but never installed it as there were some reviews that indicated problems with it in a single a/c application...

If I want it partially open I grab and hold the knob to stop it. I have the fan installed in 2013.

I was behind a car that hit a turkey. The driver swerved off the road and I followed to see if they needed help. The passenger was laughing hysterically and when I saw the driver I knew why. He was spitting out feathers as the turkey had broken a small hole in the windshield and left feathers...

I purchsed replacement leds at West Marine. They were a direct change. Instead of a red I went with a blue to replace the red incandescent.

Florida State Forest campgrounds have a longterm project to replace all single sex facilities with neutral ones, now wait for it: the neutral ones are for only one person and contain a toilet, sink, and shower. Usually there are at least four units in a building. They are now adding ac/heating...

I have a 12” hose with a shut off valve that directs the water into a collapsable water carrier. I then take it to the toilet or dumping station.

I have a post on another thread where I installed the Ark 350. Getting the mounted height just right is the trick. Your mounting plate looks great. After several tries I found that the mounting plate for the original jack worked fine.

We camped there last spring. The bath house was shared with the day users. When we went for a shower in the early morning a hobo was camped at the door. I had to act as a a “guard” while my wife used the facilities.

Many new vehicles with led head lamps have a control for lowering the beams when towing, but who bothers. It seems to me that Jeeps have the worst headlights for oncoming traffic.

I think the oldest temperature on record for Palm Springs is 1917. Maybe someone else had a calibrated thermometer in their saddle bag. Mssrs. Fahrenheit and Celsius developed the first “replicable” thermometers in the early 1700’s.

Watch out for the Corgi attack! Ours likes to sneak up behind us and jump on the back of our knees. It must be a herding instinct as it will bring you down. I keep one eye peeled for the beast.

That’s it! Now I know why I began bumping my head after awhile! Also, cat’s out of the bag on SUV option.

“50 Drive 55” was the Carter advice in the 70’s. It works but you stand a good chance of being pushed off the road.

I have a Honda 2000 and a 2200. The 2000 works but the 2200 is “smoother” on starts.

The Rangers will give you a ticket if they don’t like it. My cooler was only used for ice, it was double locked, approved by the Interagency Bear people. It was explained to me that bears just tear things up because it “might” contain food.

This is what can happen when a tire ages out. The tread looks pretty good though. Replace every 5 years or buy a nice chair to sit in beside the road.
