Thanks (no airbag in my wheel  :))

Thanks for the replies  :) TVMAN44:  Battery cable length would be many metres shorter as the current batteries are at the extreme front of coach and the converter/charger etc. is just rear of the centre - New batteries would be within 2 metres so probably 3 metres of cable.  No tongue weight...

Hi, I am really interested in changing my hab batteries for deep cycle (probably trojan t105's).  My problem is that I can not put them in the same location as my fla's. I would like to put the trojans under the bed in the rear. Is this a big no-no or can it be done and what considerations...

Hi, Is it possible to replace/modify my steering wheel with a quick release one? I have a 2002 R-Vision Trail-lite A-class that is on a Workhorse P31 chassis.  When I swing the drivers seat round it has to be at the extreme front of its travel to allow any recline at all and it then hits the...

Right  ??? I connected a wander lead to the neg terminal on my chassi battery to give myself a known good ground. I measured between this and the battery connector to the solenoid and got a good high 12 volt reading.  This was the case whether the starter button was pressed or not. I measured...

Thnaks, I'll measure that now...do I measure across the two then or each of them to earth?

Hi all, I have an Onan Microquiet 4000 on board genny fueled by gasoline.  It used to work but now it doesn't. It does not even try to turn over. The light on the remote switch and the light on the local switch are not lit.  I have disconnected the remote switch.  No difference. When I...

Unless I'm missing something, that link shows no figures for CCA...

Thanks guys. I have been doing some research (including the 'search' button  ;)) and when I am looking to up my amp hours I think I will go for true 'deep cycle' batteries.  Cost will also be a factor but so will physical dimensions as this approach may give me more flexibility regarding where...

Sorry Tom, perhaps I was unclear. I have three options: 1)  Implement my wiring schematic as shown elsewhere and the relay will switch supply for TV etc. to shore power if available, or inverter if not. 2)  Leave wiring as-is and leave TV etc. powered by the inverter so that the power is...

Thanks for the answer Tom, (does nobody else want to share THEIR current* battery capacity?) I'm on my 5th RV now (in approx. 4 years) and have never had more than 240ah.  In the UK I think it is most common to use cheap FLA (Flooded Lead Acid) batteries in our RV's.  Not sure why but it is...

How many amp hours George?

That's why I've posted the baterry amp hour thread.  I suspect that my 250 AH may be classed as 'small'. I have seen a changeover switch that I do like the sound of.  Connects to the three power sources (shore - gen - inverter) and switches intelligently between them but also switches off...

Tom, The inverter is not 'installed' as such.  It is just an old 600w Sterling Power model that is connected direct to the batteries and is mounted (soon!) in the passenger footwell.  The TV etc. just plug into the front of it (or into the mains socket nearby if on EHU). Maybe this...
