I assumed with 50 amp you're planning a 120 volt system? That calculates out to 1 awg when using copper. That yields 3.10% voltage drop, which is decent. Jay

But they also get fewer doses, often a lot less doses, so probably not. At least that's observed here in FL. Jay

The vaccine is free, but the administration may not be. Jay

Those are typically apples and oranges. The travel expenses should be 100% deductible on your Schedule C, while charitables are calculated against your standard deduction. Jay

Ohio requires it. It's a line item on the annual state income tax form. Jay

I always have them hold the brightener. Jay

The governor of FL was recently very specific about including temporary and seasonal visitors as well as permanent residents, although no specific timetable was given. Jay

No, they reset prices on the fly -- as long as the computer isn't on the fritz.. Jay

Did you ask WHY no-one was pumping? Sounds like a computer reset to me. When the pumps won't activate because the computer won't let them, the only fix is a computer reset. During that process, no-one pumps because the pumps aren't working. That's the only time I've ever been at a fuel stop when not a single pump was in use. Jay

The link works for me. Sorry.

I'll try to post a pic, but it's hard to do on the phone. I mount my temporary box on the frame near the commercial fifth wheel and plug the commercial cable from the truck into it. I haven't changed anything on my truck's electrical hookup. Jay

I just have mine in a box which I attach when I'm towing the fiver. The commercial cable plugs into the front of it and the fiver cable plugs into the back side of it. I like not changing anything on the tractor side of things. Re the Tuson DirectLink, it's a little pricey, but it's plug'n play easy.. Works really well. Jay

I've pumped maybe....200,000 gallons (just an educated guess) of diesel over the years, mostly at highway truck stops, often with tankers dropping their load. I can't remember ever seeing anyone stopping to wait for that. Had they done that, there would be unhappy drivers behind them impatiently demanding they move along. The busier fuel stops are dropping fuel almost continually, in order to keep up with demand. Only one time can I remember thinking I had a fuel problem, but it turned out to be an electrical issue. The sheer quantity of fuel being pumped tends to insure a fresh and clean supply. Jay

The difference in timing between the UK and the US is that the UK was in the loop from the beginning. They didn't rush it or shortcut anything. They just kept up to date with the data as it came in, so they were prepared to make a quick determination. The US FDA started a couple weeks ago with a blank sheet of paper, so of course it took some time to go through all the data and check it. Given the massive size and inherent inertia of the FDA, I think they did reasonably well. Jay

I'm using several mini storage locations in north central-ish FL that run about $50/month. Of course, no hookups.. Many mini storage places have vehicle storage, but one needs to check them for accessibility. Jay

Discussion about proper wire termination. https://marinehowto.com/marine-wire-termination/

This looks like a decent one. https://shop.marinehowto.com/products/controlled-cycle-heat-shrink-crimp-tool

Those look like they might penetrate the insulation. You'll want to find ones that are like a shallow "C" on both sides, so they don't cut the insulation. Jay

Quality is a great thing. Jay

Ancor is definitely a premium product in every way. Never been unhappy with it, other than the seriously premium price. Jay

https://www.genuinedealz.com/ Great outfit, great service, great products, great prices. I've been using them since they were a tiny eBay presence many years ago. Still completely satisfied. You do need to use the appropriate crimper when using heat shrink connectors.. Not that I always do.... Jay

I have an installation in both truck and fiver. For me, the electrical design and install are essentially the same, but of course the physical details will be different. "is it understood it's about a truck?" I would say the usual "maybe". In watching this, or any forum, the threads often drift far, far afield. That's completely okay with me, but I can see where not everyone cares for that. Jay

Personally, I wouldn't get all fancy with this. I would run down to your local Volvo, etc. dealer and just pick up another set. The low price of that option makes the other options look really unattractive. Jay

To elaborate, I don't peruse this forum via any of the separate categories. I have all recent posts showing when I'm back here to look around. That way, I see what's happening in all categories. I usually forget to even check which category a post is in. Jay
