I like "Cursor Tails" that gives a slight delay to the cursor movement, but it's been around forever. ETA: I don't know when the changes came out, either, but there's a lot more customization than I remember. Thank's, Joel.

Nope. It's just thicker. Think "Molasses in January ".

No damage. The only effect of cold temperatures is a temporary thickening of the fuel. If you weren'trunning, you'll never notice it. As soon as the temps climb, the fuel returns to it's earlier state.

While you've got the meter out, confirm power at the plug.

I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around Kirk recommending something called "The Hairgrabber" ;). Sorry, Kirk.

That could very well be one I've seen online, via Phoenix Craigslist. Here's one, but not the one I was thinking of. The one I'm thinking of I seem to remember being more Aluminium than painted metal.

I have seen a few posted for sale over the years. Time hasn't been kind to most of them.

If you're stuck on having Lippert do the work, pull the rams and ship them to their location. Cheaper and less driving.

Switch.

No. PSV's job.

Please explain the governor comments. The gauges were showing above 100 psi, and the alarm shouldn't come on until the system pressure falls to roughly 60 psi. This sounds more like a pressure switch/sensor or wiring issue than a governor issue.

Of course, the Aluminium mini hitch is better suited for display use.

Needs collapsible legs, like an ambulance gurney, to slide in the back of a Grand Caravan easier.

She had a second post, minutes after this one, with a more succinct title, but this one was getting all the replies, so the other seems to have been "disappeared".

I'm familiar with British Columbia's laws. Not only a fine, but the rig will be split to a legal weight. Come back with a legal truck to retrieve the load later. Very common with the sled crowd, as they'll run with 2 sleds on the truck, and as many as 4 more in a trailer. Add the passenger load, fuel for the machines, lunches, sledding gear, etc. and you're well into 450/550 territory. Sure brought out a sudden decrease in the popularity of car-pooling.

Ray was asking about current that you can charge at. Without bringing out the slide rule, 100 amps should be reasonable. ETA: The vendor should have a spec sheet available for both the battery packs and the BMS he's supplying. Get all your charge parameters from there, don't depend on internet info for settings this important.

Then you're gold with the 50 amp box you were looking at, assuming the total of all other 12 volt loads are under 20 amps.

It's not really a calculator, as far as I can see. Here's the text: STEP 1: Calculate the Following: VDI = (AMPS x FEET)/(%VOLT DROP x VOLTAGE) VDI = Voltage Drop Index (a reference number based on resistance of wire) FEET = ONE-WAY wiring distance (1 meter = 3.28 feet) %VOLT DROP = Your choice of acceptable voltage drop (example: use 3 for 3%) STEP 2: Determine Appropriate Wire Size from Chart Compare your calculate VDI with VDI in the chart to determine the closest wire size. Amps must not exceed the AMPACITY indicated for the wire size. Wire Size Area mm2 COPPER ALUMINUM AWG VDI Ampacity VDI Ampacity 16 1.31 1 10 Not Recommended 14 2.08 2 15 12 3.31 3 20 10 5.26 5 30 8 8.37 8 55 6 13.3 12 75 4 21.1 20 95 2 33.6 31 130 20 100 0 53.5 49 170 31 132 00 67.4 62 195 39 150 000 85.0 78 225 49 175 0000 107 99 260 62 205 Metric Size by cross-sectional area COPPER (VDI x 1.1 = mm2) ALUMINUM (VDI x 1.7 = mm2) Available Sizes: 1 1.5 2.5 4 6 10 16 25 35 50 70 95 120 mm2 EXAMPLE: 20 Amp load at 24V over a distance of 100 feet with 3% max. voltage drop VDI = (20x100)/(3x24) = 27.78 For copper wire, the nearest VDI=31.This indicates #2 AWG wire or 35mm2

I would love to say "There's gotta be a fuse", but I'm not that brave. You have a better than average chance of success with the 50 amp setup, but you won't get a guarantee from me.

Without an actual amp draw while the pump is in use, I'm just guessing, but more often than not the fuse/breaker is bigger than the actual draw. Prevents unnecessary trips. The fuse /breaker is sized to protect the wire, with a little extra to handle inrush current. The wire is (hopefully) sized to supply the load.

All depends. What's the duty cycle of the converter you're looking at? There should be something in the specs about how long it can produce 50 amp, along with some temperature corrections. Kinda like specing a welder. A 200 Lincoln Pipeliner used to be the go to rig machine. Now there's everything from little 2 cylinder gas 100 amp units, to monster 400 amp diesels running around.

Does that make it any more palatable?

hear reports out of the Phoenix valley of similar doings. Not every year, but it happens.

Laundry? You know you can turn them drawers around to gain an extra couple days, don't ya? There's riding to do! While in the Kanab area, check out the hot springs. Good for old(er) bones.

We've got a TrailAir pinbox sitting in the Phoenix valley. It comes with the air bag. We will be in the valley by Halloween, if anyone has any interest in project material. It was removed to shorten the overall length, and close up the gap to the car a bit.
