This is some of the corrosion that was on the Time Capsule when I picked it up. It had sat 1/4 mile from the Pacific Ocean for 5 years without being washed or waxed. It had a cover that was pretty much disintegrated and went straight to the trash. I've started working on shining it up, but...

I can see the website.

I recently bought 2 copies from the online store - they are a whopping $1.50. Probably worth the investment.

I just went out to double check on mine. I am currently out of propane and do not have a bottle connected. When I turn the thermostat on, the fan starts running. It should do a purge cycle for a little bit and then the gas valve will open and it will attempt to light. You should be able to...

The temps were above 40 yesterday, so I got out and did a little work. The 19" snow from last weekend is melting quickly and I need to get the Time Capsule ready for the road. Here is the final wiring before the cabinet goes back on: Cabinet installed and a view looking in: Outside of...

UPS just delivered this - I'm keeping with the steampunk theme.

I guess if you are feeling adventurous - you could look at the Chinese sites like Aliexpress for lithium batteries. There is quite the selection, but it is a leap of faith on the actual quality and performance. Here is a 12V, 60aH battery for $190: Ultra large capacity 12V...

I just ordered a custom galley cabinet door. Sent Cary an email with the image I was interested in and he returned 2 layout proposals. I picked one and placed the order in the Camp Inn website store for a custom image.

What is the earliest in the year that you would recommend going?

That sounds like a place that I will have to visit.

Glad you got that sorted - would hate to fry a battery.

Hey Tom, First I would say to contact Camp Inn about this. I would not put a 17+ volt charge on the battery. I took a look at the wiring schematic in the manual and it shows pin 2 on the receptacle going to the solar charge controller and pin 3 connected directly to the battery. It looks to...

Looks like a second hole is needed: Damage is done now - might as keep going. Here is a picture inside the cabin with the trim removed to see the existing wiring and new hole: CTEK charger mounted: Simarine shunt module mounted: Hopefully the temperature is warming up and I can go start...

Here is a picture of the existing solar controller in the right hand galley cabinet. Since the new hardware would require additional wiring, I was trying to figure out how to run them and finally concluded that I would have to remove the cabinet to get good access to the wiring. How come so...

Time for an update. I was unsuccessful with my indoor experiment - the power supply I have is a small one I use for desktop experiments and it could not handle the in-rush current when the CTEK charger turned on. The temperature is starting to get a little warmer and I moved Time Capsule into...

I camped in the Black Hills for the first time last summer on a trip to California to pick up my CI. Spent 2 days there before driving to WY to see the total eclipse. The Black Hills are gorgeous and I now get why people go there. I'm usually not very touristy, but Mount Rushmore is pretty...

It is my understanding that the Ctek will boost the voltage from the TV to 14.5 (or 14.7 volts for an AGM battery) to get a full charge on the CI battery. Even though it was a balmy 40 degrees here today, I'm not planning on being able to work on the Time Capsule until at least March. I'm new...

That link is to an artist rendition of the trailer and is not very accurate. If you google Thomas Dolby Time Capsule you will find numerous pictures and a youtube video that Thomas made when he put it up for sale. Thomas did not use it as a camper. Not sure who told you it is "unpunked" since...

I just got a CTEK D250s for Xmas, but won't be able to install it and check it out until things warm up a bit in Minnesota. They are a bit expensive, but in theory it should be a good solution for charging from the TV and it is supposed to have a good MPPT solar charger. I probably will add a...
