Very sorry. Forgot you had a Precision. If you have LiPO, then the charge profile will be much different than what I described. The LiPO pre-sets on the charger will dictate when, what and how much the charger will be doing. I don't have a LiPO. Yet. So I can't speak to the charger's exact...

(italics mine) It would work best at 17A for the Bulk (initial) stage, which the charger will go into if it detects that the battery is below 80% or less than 12.6V. After a few minutes the charger would go to 17A max during the Bulk stage. It maintains this high current until the voltage...

... in case when you ask that person at the check-in about firewood, at that sketch campground you pulled into, and they point to that pile of whole skids beside the office.;)

This isn't what I would consider to be part of a "mini" kit, or carry with me on the motorcycle: ... but it does go in the front compartment with the folding saws, makes kindling, and steps up whenever something needs an indelicate, indiscriminate pounding. Box Tool - Lee Valley Tools...

True. The 7A has an even lower "low" setting of 2A. Which would be OK for a motorcycle battery as well. The app and the user-defined mode is a godsend if you have multiple, and multiple-sized batteries, or wish to squeeze the most out of just one. As an aside, the conventional wisdom is that...

I think the two standouts, that don't make regular appearances in any sort of emergency kit, are the multi-blade saw and the mini-pry bar. The saw fills that wide gap between any sort of cutting that a firewood type of device would perform, and the wholly inadequate saw-cutting abilities of...

David: I’m assuming that you either upgraded the trailer wiring to accommodate the 15A charging (12 gauge wire, or 10, from the charger all the way to the battery and a 20A fuse), or you have set the set the charger at the lower charge setting. If it was the former, how easy was it to install...

Update: My powers of perception are waning. I did order a 12V / 7A Victron. What came and what I unknowingly installed was a 12V / 17A Victron. I missed the "1". It took some trouble-shooting (but no damage, or major inconvenience) before I discovered the discrepancy. I had taken the battery...

You may have just sent me down the rabbit hole of no return.

The cap orifices? Or just generally: "They ain't makin' that kinda cast iron stuff no more. " ? Since I acquired it, I've noticed that the few cast cook tops that have shown up on Ebuy aren't nearly as serviceable as mine was right out of the gate. Like they've been stored in a water-logged...

I think this is what you thinking of, maybe: Easy Pvc Shower Curtain Rail I fabbed it up, didn't cost much or take up much room. Fittings are available here: Buy Schedule 80 PVC Fittings - Sch 80 - Lowest Prices Online However, I doubt I will use it as the Backroads Shelter (discussed at...

In a couple other posts about the C-I stovetop I mentioned that I acquired a vintage Griswold cooker in an attempt to retrofit it to the trailer. It didn't work, as it was sized too differently. But I was able to to tear it down, refurb it, and turn it into a dual-fuel cooker, that can be be...

Forgot to add: The needle valves are so much easier to dial in a desired flame. From Low to High it's about 1 1/2 turns. Whereas the OEM was 180 degree cone valve that wasn't at all linear in adjustment and was difficult to get "just right". Switching out the cone valves to the needles was...

There's been a couple posts about what to do about rusting burners or a cooktop switchout: Rusting burners.... What to do to fix? and Stove - " Carolina Cooker " Switch-out Problems I've just attempted what I believe to be one of the few (sort of) practical, partial solutions to the problem. If...

I went back and looked at my photos, specifically this one: ... and realized that it is virtually impossible for any water to enter past the gasket. Even if the fan isn't fully seated. And driving at 100 mph. I'd forgotten that the inner flange was so high. Silly me.

Addendum: Above I mentioned that a capped washer might enhance the water-tightness of the top flange. For giggles, I tried a couple: They're from some metal roofing I did. Not sure they would help. When I pulled the screws the top threads were completely filled with butyl. The washers, I...

... which is to say: If you take everything apart and start your installation from the top, you could find at the end that your bezel ring won't fit properly between the ends of the molding strips, and you'll be cutting and/or adding molding. And it either won't look good or the flange won't sit...

Thanks Cary. I didn't have any exposed screw holes using Maxx's. But depending on how the unit gets "centered" in the hole, with the 1/2" to play with, this could be an issue for some. If you get the shade cover, this would be a moot point as its footprint is larger than the bezel/garnish ring...

This is a continuation of sorts of this thread: Spare Tire, Ceiling Fan ...which contains lots of information on the current heretofores and whys of installing a replacement fan to the Fantastic. Our Fantastic was still working as it should. But wasn't so fantastic: 1) It is loud. Even on the...

I assume that you mean with no intentional loads. I just fully charged the AGM on both the Victron and the Renogy DC-DC yesterday. Both went into Float. So I set the Shunt to 100%. And notwithstanding some very short period test draws today during my install of the Maxx fan I have had nothing...
