 A local windshield company replaced one in an rv here this weeks. Stopped and talked to them. Stated common job. It was a frameless one also

Just checked battery usage. I am  pulling 156ah from my batteries. Charging to 56v. Full charge is 58.8v. Only discharging to 49v. So very conservative. I could charge to full and discharge to max but not needed in this park as electricity is included. 

Better to buy a 48v battery then if this is true

I question how strong my batteries are. When I got them wasn't the options we have now. So my batteries were used leaf cells repurposed for this. When I get settled on our property may get more storage. I have plenty of solar. When sun out they supply all we need and charge batteries. And our days are still rather short now. So more battery use and less solar

During the night it got cool in our Teton and DW turn on heat pumps. Woke up to batteries fully charged so batteries got low enough that the inverters switched over to shore power and charged them up.

I have it setup for SBU. Solar, battery, utility. Reckon find out tonight how good my batteries are.

Just now started pulling some from batteries.

Added microwave in convection mode and now mini splits in cooling mode. Still just solar power. I put my surge guard monitor inside my Teton. It staying on 0 amps

Finished my wiring today. It is a pleasant day. 60 ish and full sun. Both mini splits are in heat pump mode although not much heat is needed. TV and such running. All on solar. Pulling around 1200 watts. 

Nothing grafic about it. Can't find on YouTube now either. 

The fact that Battleborn is replacing all of them is smart of their part. 

I posted due to a few on here using this same battery. 

Be aware I know of no phone that will let you choice between 4g and 5g. This has been a problem for me. Have been in the fringe area and 5g was still there. It was poor service. Guys with 4g phones playing videos no problem. I couldn't. Now that is with Verizon service. Have never had T-Mobile. Always head bad for full timers

I have a 5g phone but since coming to Huntsville TX where my property is it is nonexistent. While working close to Houston I would get 5g but it was no faster than a solid 4g and sometimes slower. So from my take not worth upgrading for 5g. Now if time for a phone yes.

The most obvious in my mind would be the possibility of the awning coming open unexpectedly, saying going down the road or on a very windy day. 

No idea how that could happen. It works in it goes in and out and stays where it is put. Just stopping every foot or so of travel in one direction only. Worked perfectly before the motor gear stripped out and I put new one in. I couldn't understand either why controls were reversed. Can't plug it in wrong. I reversed wiring coming out of controller. I will put a monitor on it tomorrow. I have a 12v drill battery. Going to disconnect wiring tomorrow and bypass controller. See what happens.

How can that be a safety issue? 

Some time back I replaced motor and spring in our awning. Ever since controls have been reversed. It would go out good but come in by stopping and having to restart it. Simply release switch and enguage again and it go. Have to do this several times to get in. Yesterday I reversed wires to get direction corrected. Now it comes in good but going out is problem. So has nothing to do with spring tension. Does this with remote and wall switch. It works but is a misterery to me.

You have a first rate system Chad. I went a cheaper route than Victron. Time will tell if good choice or not. I have no problem with 48v system. I did have a hydraulic problem and thought mistakeling it was voltage problem. But I also have electric levelers so not as much 12v load as some. I was considering Scheinder XW Pro. Decided against against it as it was 6500 watt rating. David Poze did a you tube video on that unit. He has no gas appliances at all and runs his whole house with this inverter. It will handle way more than it is rated at. If that had been posted before my purchase I would have went that route. My inverters will handle 500v mppt each unit. I have 4500 watt of panels. 10 total. I have ran 5 to each inverter. I getting avgerage of 233v into each inverter. May go higher on cool mornings with lots of sun but haven't checked. I just ran #10 pv cable to inverters. As many know on here I have Leaf battery packs totaling 21kwh. I have not verified the kwh though. 

I have never found a leak with ours.

Remember, two neutrals don't make a negative. You need to remain positive about your wiring...

??????  Don't understand what that has to do with my question

Thanks, Got them ordered. Couldn't find local

Not real happy with my neutral connections. Using two inverters so utility in is 50 amps so two hots and single neutral. I have a bulky bussbar joining 1 in and two out to make two neutrals. Taped it good. Just looks bad. Do you know of a better way?

I have Progressive but I went thru Miller. No problems at all. 

I am going to be blunt. If they don't want my business, they know where they can stick it. I would call another company. Escapees address is proof of residence. They are being butts
