  1. google, or the sticker on the driver's door.
  2. So why don't you tell us whom you DO trust? I have no idea what that last sentence means.
  3. That's very nice. I'm still with DTV after about 20 years, and it's getting more and more frustrating now that ATT bought them. I've tried texting for services, but those clerks only seem to know how to sell things. They ask ridiculous questions which indicates they don't know their systems very well. When you call on the phone, you never know what rules that person is going by. With all the competition they're seeing, you'd think they'd be trying to make things easier. Heck, maybe even they are giving up on satellite in favor of streaming. Having an app to change locals, priceless. (Although I've avoided that by having a service address of Los Angeles.)
  4. It's just another internet activity. What are you asking?
  5. Those certain situations are usually too much moisture and not enough ventilation.
  6. Streaming is definitely a learning curve.. it's new so there's just too many providers and plans and confusion. Jumping through all these hoops to save a few dollars a month is not of interest to me, so I'm sticking with DTV. Your main problem, right now, is being in Alaska.
  7. #13. Not sure what Mf has to do with a mattress heater.
  8. They cut corners to save money wherever possible, including the residential fridge.
  9. I use none of those the OP listed, but I do use Escapees' own Day's End. I contribute to that every chance I get.
  10. This is exactly the kind of attitude that keeps me camping as far away from others as possible as often as possible.
  11. You're aware the headquarters Escapees park is there, right?
  12. I've complained about gas water heaters, which are an explosion followed by a jet engine. People just leave them on 24/7, not realizing how loud they are at 3am. Please, when in close proximity to other campers, turn off the water heater.
  13. The battery interconnects carry a portion of the load, resulting in final load amps at the inverter. You can size those cables according to your expected largest load. When I was a 12v guy I did that to save the hassle of 4/0 interrconnects. Works fine.
  14. 4 gauge? You should be using 4/0 gauge. Too bad you couldn't series those batteries to 48v and ditch the fat cable.
  15. It's a non-issue with AGM or Li batteries. Ok, I know someone will say my terminals corroded using AGMs, so I better say "I" never had any corrosion with my AGMs, and certainly not with Lis.
  16. For series wiring yes, for parallel, no.
  17. Parallel batteries each supply 1/4 of the amps. You can size cable accordingly.
  18. Bluetooth connectivity is pretty cool. Get that. I wish my Outback inverter had that.
  19. Me too, because I'm not sure what "her" exact point is.
  20. When I had acid batteries they used to get hot.
  21. Ouch is right, that's pretty steep. Regardless, it wouldn't make me stay with a 12v system. I ran my 13.5 air on inverter today and I'm getting some pretty good heat on a busbar at 48v. Better put some bigger connectors on there!
  22. https://www.powerstream.com/dcdc-48V.htm Yeah, 48v is hard to find. That site says they can build one up to 1000w. Don't know if 2 Victrons @24v in series would work.
