I have been boondocking in Quartzsite Az sense November 1. I have a 2017 Grand Design 2500RL Imagine. I run 2 6 volt batteries with 2 100 watt solar panels and a 1000 watt Magnum Inverter. I do use my Honda 2000 on occasion but not much. I use lots of paper plates, bowls, and towels. I take a...

What I see happening with my Magnum charger durning the Bulk stage which last about 1 hour at a charge rate of 100% is this: 1. The voltage starts out low depending on how far the battery is discharged 2. The amps gradually ramp up, close to 48 amps after 5 or 10 minutes. 3. The amps stay high...

That would be my understanding also. 2 t-105's =25 to 30 amps and 4 would equal 50 to 60 amps

Thanks Gary...I always questioned whether my setting are correct. The only one I had some concerns about was the charge rate, as Trojan seems to say or at least the way I interpreted it, you should charge between 25 and 30 amp on the t-105. This is how I have it set up now, the Absorb time 60...

This is true for the charger only, when you add in the Magnum Energy ME-RC50 Remote Control the charge rate is reduced to 80% by default which is still 40 amps. Of course with that remote you can change it to what ever you like. I have tried the 100% default valve of the magnum charger and see...

Those of you that are using an inverter/charger like a Magnum MMS1012 with 2 Trojan t-105 batteries what Charge Rate setting do you use? The above charger is a 50 amp charger. When dry camping with a generator I would think you would want to set the charge rate as high as you can so you can...

500A is what the shunt its rated for. I kind of figured everything should go though the shunt.

Looking to install a Samlex PST 1000W Inverter in my TT. The question I have  is should the inverters negative terminal terminate at the shunt for my Trimetric Meter or should it go directly to the battery? I will also be hooking up a Lota DLS-55 to charge my 2 t-105 batteries.

I didn't have my dealer install mine. I bought one from etrailer.com. The install was simple enough. There was a big difference after I installed it. Thanks for everyone help

After traveling 100 miles bring my new Grand Design home today I realize now I need a Equal-i-zer Weight Distributing hitch. Can anyone tell me the best place to order one from, shipped to my door with free shipping? The dealer wanted $800.00 plus installation.

Thanks everyone! Your advice got me a great deal from what I have read above. Brought her home today. 35% off plus the tax.

Holly crap!! Looks like paper plates, cups and plastic silverware are in order, along with using the microwave a lot.

I have a 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab with a 5.7L and 3.92 rear end. The yellow tag on the door say the payload is 1330 Lbs and can tow 10,300 lbs. I am looking to buy a 2018 Grand Design 2500RL with a UVW 5857 lbs GVWR of 7495 lbs and a hitch weight 581 lbs. Does anyone see anything wrong with...

Just about ready to buy a new Grand Design 2500RL trailer. The MSRP is $34,00.00. The dealer has offered it to me for $25000.00 plus taxes, license& Title, destination charges and PDI which brings the price up to $28750.00 but this seems like a lot of money extra money in fees. Taxes are 6% and...

I believe your right. The best I have seen is 1100 lbs. One was 910 lbs. I have also understood they quit making them because of emission problems. Looking else where now.
