    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...

    Thanks for providing the CI AC sleeve dimensions. Now we'll know what the goal is.

    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 -...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Because of Covid, we had our 50th reunion at our 52nd year. We had about 60% turnout of the living classmates. About 20% had passed over the years. While I had been able to make almost all of them (except the 5 yr), and made a lot of the same observations as you. At this one I saw a few...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    I'm being nice, ...just comparing notes. Born in '52, I remember the first TV we got when I was about 4. It had a round screen, and of course was B&W (we got color about 10yrs later). We had 3 network channels, and one independent out of Minneapolis, all of which went off the air at about 11pm -...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    .....TV? I remember not even having one! ...and I remember my folks talking about having to walk miles to and from school every day, up hill both ways through a foot of snow, and doing chores before going and after getting home each day as well, with no time to play, much less get bored. Fun was...
