I wouldn't say it was an "ad". It mentions one of the drivers is CEO of a charging company.
It also mentions:
IN MEMORY OF MARY ANN
The trip was dubbed Mary Ann’s Electric Drive 2.0 in honour of Soicher’s late wife who died of cancer in 2018.
Mary Ann and Soicher had made plans to visit Newfoundland together and a year after her passing, he went in her memory.
To continue her legacy, both trips fundraised money for Parkinson’s research and functional neurosurgery, a cause dear to her after suffering a life-threatening ruptured brain aneurysm two decades earlier.
Soicher said she would be proud of him for making these trips in his EV.

Yes the low coolant sensor is happy to do that on the Modern Diesel Truck.
Running it a bit over full (it will self adjust out the overflow) will allow you to show off by patching out leaving a campsite without embarrassing codes and derates 🤣

worknrvr showed me a air conditioning o ring assortment that has several sizes of o rings that fit the push to connect fittings.

I would think a 2006 Volvo cruise control is controlled by a pressure sensor in the foundation brake circuit somewheres.
The foot valve might be hanging up a bit keeping some air psi on the foundation brake circuit. Do you see any psi on the brake application pressure guage, even 1/2 a needle?
It could be a sensor or stiction in the foot valve.
Note: they can write several volumes about what I don't know about Volvo trucks. 🤣

Possibly until you’ve had a go at a Mack Triplex 🎵you aint seen nothin yet🎶

I guess they also make good tow vehicles for trailers. I watched a Tesla sedan pulling a 25' Airstream out of the campground. They hauled it to & from London Ontario to Niagara Falls. The Tesla was outfitted by Can-Am RV...
An electric vehicle has electric traction motors like a locomotive - so can pull on trailers quite nicely. Very high torque at very low vehicle speed.

Last week I was on a service call to a island on Flathead lake in Montana. I did a filter change, spark plugs and oil on a Onan generator.
The generator is not on auto start for the system. And no power lines to the island.
Now I am wondering if there is snow cover on the solar. Home will be shut up at the end of October till April. With cold temperatures possible could these batteries have a problem.
Trying to learn about such subject as some people store there rv’s over winter in really cold weather. So could this be a concern.
Trying to learn, Vern
Me learning too Vern.
As JohnT mentioned the BMS in that cottage system should not allow charge through to the battery cells if they are below a safe temperature.
LowOnCash ^ explains why Li batts can store without top ups -
The self heating Li batteries use incoming charge current to heat the battery cells before sending charge to the cells.
I don’t believe they heat unless receiving external charging power. -
Renogy is offering a self heating lithium battery
The battery will not wreck itself by accepting charge at below minimum battery temperature. It has other features I won't pretend to be able to explain.

Technically “across Canada” from the furthest east road point to the furthest west point would be Cape Spear NL to the Yukon/Alaska border on Hwy 1.
8,573km (5,300miles)
The south runs along the Trans Canada route are around 7,000km
The Tesla guys put a video on u toob - it was hood fun.
"Hood fun" ? stupid spell check
Good fun.

St. John’s NL to Victoria BC
Drivers did not need treatment for range anxiety.
87% done on non fossil generated amps
Not a Tesla

I keep old motorsickle inner tubes and cut them up to make flaps to insulate nearby surfaces when working around batteries that are in stupid locations.
Strips of tube make good tur...tourni...torna... "turn a keys" for sino plastic hoses and cords that won't coil up.

I had a bright idea I would put a 12V air conditioner on toppa my vintage camper project.
Then I saw what they cost.
That's a lot of perfectly good motorcycle money.
Back to Glenn's thread now.

A nice bit of equipment to consider is a battery to battery charging unit also called a DC-DC charger.
An explanation can be watched here:

TP has to pass the FPT*
*Finger Puncture Test

If you look at the dark camper with the gear container on the roof...
And then go to "Everlanders" channel on u tube to see a DIY camper body built in a home garage...
Oh and check out the technology on board their truck - auto retracting solar panels, yuge Li battery set, all electric living spaces...
Anyways back to Tesla - I has a question:
That front body line at the end of the "hood" - does that meet pedestrian collision standards?
-
Sounds like a Main Bus B undervolt.

I don’t use private camps much at all but I have pre warned a couple about my rag tag outfits that “look ok going by at 60mph”.
They asked for a picture and the response was “cool truck” etcThe rusty hub cap was totally ignored.

I test rode 2 Zero electric motorcycles at a dealer demo. One was a rapid upright nekked type and the other was an enduro style on/off road police bike, about the size of a Suzuki DR400. Very popular with law enforcement in parks and event venues - ride up and down stairs, walkways etc.
Anyhoo I had my black gear on. I'm like, "I wonder if the blue and reds are connected?" Well now don't they work a treat in congested traffic to get folks to move over a bit so you can split through. Some drivers even put their phones down.
An electric road bike does not fit my needs due to short range. I could see owning an on/off roader.

Noteven,
Like Germany which does get less sun than the US, Canada does get less sun year round than the US but still plenty. However you guys have lots of coastline and wind too. The wind turbines you do have are hardened and survived the extreme cold just fine.
Energy storage is still behind renewables energy generation. I am hoping that the Gates backed fusion I mention in another thread comes in earlier than predicted. (Yep that happens too sometimes)
Yes storage of solar and wind energy is a challenge.

Some motorcycle oem's thinking on making electric motorcycle batteries swappable across makes.
This would work for box shaped RV's - forklift at the battery swap station depot, slide the battery out of the basement tray, slide in the charged one.
Lippert Electronic Leveling - how to use.

or a tech I guess - as per op 🙃
