  1. TLRam1 and others who use this type of connection a little tip that works well for me. One or more blades seem to break off in time so I played with the idea to wrap the end. If you ever wrapped the end of rope this info may make sense. I used fishing line and wrapped over a looped end around all the blades almost to the end then threaded the wrapping end through the loop and pulled up the loose end. I think I used 6lb line, the line seems to expand when pushed on, it seems to hold firm and keeps the blade from expanding (over worked) and breaking off in time. Sure hope all this makes sense, like I say it works well for me, I have a Y cable connecting to one antenna.
  2. Information to pass on maybe it's old info I haven't been on for a while but may clear up important issues. I called to renew my Escapees Safe Ride assistance and learned I had the wrong registered vehicle. A year ago when asked to provide registration number from my RV I gave my tow vehicle registration number (Dodge Ram) wrong, my 5th wheel is the RV registration they need. As I understand the Dodge Ram or any other vehicle in the house hold is automatically covered. Wow she said it was good I didn't need their services, the trailer towing would not have been included. So if you pull a trailer according to Safe Ride it's your RV. Of course Motor Home wither class A or down to class B's will have their own registration ID. Maybe this issue has already been made clear but when I purchase my insurance I applied online and really didn't talk to anyone to ask question. That was my mistake anyway very lucky I didn't need their services for a year. I hope this information is helpful to others, for reviewing their actual services I have not yet the experience, knock on wood it will go as nice as our conversation on the phone. My bride for 48 years says there is still hope, safe travel Y'al
  3. The MPPT controller you speak of is what I am using on my 5th wheel with liquid acid batteries, 370w on the roof and 200w made up suitcase of two 100w panels on the ground that I can move around where needed. I have yet to reach the suggested 520w charge power rate and well below the PV power rate. IMO I like the growing room for adding onto which I plan on another 170w panel in the future. Also parallel another charger controller for the 200w suitcase on the ground. I did purchase the 20A little twin for the 200w suitcase to parallel just not in the need of it until I add another panel. For Lithium ion batteries this charge controller under user sitting be adjusted, that I can not answer I would have to learn more about or purchase different charge controllers. To answer question, yes it will handle your 160w panel plus up to 520w charging power without harm as I read it. Hope more knowledgeable folks with information will help, this is my first setup and satisfied with the same solar controller.
