    New Project, Solar for Class C

    Wow! That is some major construction! I'll be interested to see the finished product. 😊

    New Project, Solar for Class C

    Love the big rubber 'persuader' on the R side of the bench. They make everything fit so much better. 😊 I am surprised to see a corded drill, however. 😁

    Need to winterize a holding tank

    Our TT is empty and fully winterized at the moment. However, because of some surprise visitors, we will need to press it into temporary service for a few days. We will put a few jugs of fresh water in for the overnight use of the visitors, but will not put water in the fresh water system. It...

    Oh my! SO SAD that it burned! 😭 RV fires go SO fast. No one hurt, we hope?

    Bushwacker Solar on roof?

    Got it. 😊 The portable or suitcase arrays that others have suggested thus far would probably work well on a small rig. We started off that way with a 23-footer that we had, and it worked well enough for modest loads. If a portable panel kit was used while boondocking, and then a reminder was...

    Bushwacker Solar on roof?

    Sorry. Only charging at home was mentioned in the thread. I agree on the benefits of solar when Boondocking. We Boondock almost exclusively when we travel. I have a Honda generator, but hate to use it. Our solar array on our 30-footer provides more than enough for our needs.

    A note on the fridge at home to plug the trailer in is cheaper. 😁

    Mix FLA and Lithium with this?

    That is the sort of information I was looking for, Gary. Thanks. Like I say, it was a friend that passed that link on to me. I wondered if there was anything to it, and it appears not. Too many snake oil items like this on the market, so I was just looking for some counsel on it. I did...

    Mix FLA and Lithium with this?

    I think you may have missed the video that I linked in my original post.

    Mix FLA and Lithium with this?

    The whole idea behind the link I posted was with regard to the ADVANTAGES of mixing FLA with Lithium. I think that this answers @Tulecreeper as well. In the final analysis, I will probably just replace all 6 FLA batteries, but not until next year. I have 5 years on this set, and they still...

    Mix FLA and Lithium with this?

    Thanks, Mark. I go by the adage that no one ever complains about having too much solar. 😁 https://www.rvforum.net/threads/1230-watt-solar-install.106669/ If anything, I could use more storage. However, that will have to wait for another day. Thanks for your interest. Frank.

    Mix FLA and Lithium with this?

    Valid analysis, and the one that I am considering now. The long-winded video makes sense, though probably not enough sense for us at the moment. I may just tough it another year with what we have and reconsider then.

    Insufficient Power for Boondocking

    Were you referring to a propane fridge? WME appears to be talking about a furnace.

    Insufficient Power for Boondocking

    Yeah, let it go, Mark.

    Mix FLA and Lithium with this?

    I have a large solar array on our TT, but our 6 GC-2's are showing their age. I like the idea of Lithium, but we are getting older and don't know how much more we want to invest in the RV lifestyle. Our resources, personally and monetarily, are dwindling. A friend sent me this...
