Not hardly. Listen to this Westerner living in China

I will stand by my statement. "China has stepped up with the World Health Organization."  I don't know if that you-tuber has an agenda or is just foolish. He is wrong and exaggerating a few ignorant comments made on the street.

It all depends if you are exposed to the infection, and it is one of the strains in this year's flu shot. If you are not exposed, will not get flu. Shot or not.  If exposed to a different strain. Then you could get flu even with immunization, But, It is noticed by the medical profession that with a flue shot, the symptoms are much less.

One thing is proven true; You can not get the flu from the immunization shot.

This time China stepped up and reported all the information they have to the UN WHO. Understand, this crisis is not flu. It is a different virus.

Look up 'snatch blocks'. By using pulleys the pull of a smaller winch can be used to move larger loads. The danger comes from the cable snapping. More than one pulley can be used.

Rule #1; Fuses protect the wire. If your device pulls 435 amps your cable must be more than 4/0. If you are sure you will only pull 200 amps at top, the marine grade cable can be 2/0, with 300 amp fuse at the battery positive. Fuses protect the wire from overheating and melting or burning the insulation. The fuse has nothing to do with protecting the device. If needed the device will have its own internal fuse.

Class T fuses on Blue Sea are listed at up to 160 volts DC.

Your Charge Controller must be sized for the max voltage from the panels. If your household panels have too high a voltage, You could divide your panels and have two controllers with a split battery bank. But with limited solar watts, there is maybe no need. As pointed above. 

I like my Suburban. It could replace a Atwood. Depending on the model Atwood it would be more or less work. But it would be work.

Because you had a residential address--your daughter's. In Minnesota someone can personally verify your address which then lets you register to vote. The OP has no one to verify for him thus would need other proof of address--like a driver's license..

Linda

Ah! yes. the very service that Escapees offers, an address in Florida. Not minnesota.

Are you suggesting the poster use your daughter's address?  

You two remind me of a song on the album Free to Be that goes something like, "Some kind of help is the kind of help that doesn't help at all."

Linda Sand

No Linda. 🙄  OP said they could not register to vote with out a license. I was able to register to vote without a license. 

5 years ago I had no problem registering to vote in Florida, from NJ. I used my daughter's Ft Lauderdale address. No Fl license. It was more difficult to cancel the registration last year.

Thank you for the response. Your story brought back my memories of past computer adventures. I dropped out while studying Assembly Level on Tandy TRS-80 desk computers. GE engineers moonlighting as Professors would steal the students best ideas.  Then on IBM, I found myself spending hours programming to save a nanosecond processing time. I was always in trouble using too much main frame memory. Memory being the limiting factor. My argument was;  time was the limit, add another stack of disks.

I'm using a Pentium I7, 10th Gen. It is fast. I couldn't get by without MS Office. I earn a few bucks with Excel every couple of months. 

My suburban propane furnace burns very clean. The exhaust is near the side door. No problem. I would use plywood in the area of the furnace. They do get too hot for foam and plastics. 

Leaking at threaded connection? There should be a washer if that female threaded part is meant for male pipe thread. That brass part may not be designed for MPT.

I was in that hole. I tried to update the old Leveno 7pro to W10. But it failed to take. Black Friday brought me a new, top of the line HP for less than 1/2 price. The purchase was complicated and HP made it difficult to close the deal. But I persevered.  Now I get to learn all the things w10 does to piss me off. But it does it much faster than the old chip set.

My suburban doesn't slide out the side of the RV. It only has two exhaust holes. It is removed from the interior face of the furnace. It could be less a pia to replace the whole box and furnace on my install. The brand Atwood does slide from the outside.

If you buy the same model, the internal furnace itself will fit into the sheet metal housing. You have to deal with wires and gas connections. But you would not have to change any duct work. I don't know how much trouble it is to remove the interior parts from the sheet metal box.  It would help if we had a link to what you are noticing.

Each institution is free to interpret the rule as they see it. With the minimum required by Government Regs.

This may be possible in a few years. But not doable until lots of regulations and controls are in place. 

I think it appropriate for larger heavier vehicles to pay more for the increased strain on the highways. Fuel tax is just one way we pay more. Look at registration fees.

I have had life harder than any of you. It was so bad growing up I do not even have the words needed to explain to anyone as spoiled as you.

You never "owned" it. Read the legal forms you signed before you used it. It is more like a rental. You have limited permission from MS for how you can use the program. If you sell, or give the code you are possibly in violation of MS copyright  I agree RV could get troubled by MS if promoting transfer of software rights.

It is Microsoft 360. That is the difference. Can't be beat.

I haven't seen a post recommending proper safety glasses when working around batteries. A short can cause flying slag. On some battery chemistry the whole thing can erupt. Play safe.

It is not that easy being homeless. The benefits are not easy to get. Some vets may have a pension, most do not. Your lucky,  Burnsville, MN seems to have a handle on it's "homeless" population. Atlantic City gives them a bus ticket to a different town.

Glenn. I don't have 48 volts or LiFePo battery.  I have six golf cart battery. Configured as three 12 volt battery. I have three negative 2/0 cables to one side of my 500 amp shunt. The other side goes to a bus bar. I have had this set for two years with no problem. I do six month maintenance including inspection and measuring voltage drop at each connection. I had the same problem. I wanted another shunt, but not enough room.  I use these; https://www.bluesea.com/products/2104/PowerBar_600A_BusBar_-_Four_3_8in-16_Studs  There are smaller; https://www.bluesea.com/products/2303/Common_150A_BusBar_-_Four_1_4in-20_Studs
