    Loud generators, I don't understand why...

    The common theme is.....loud pipes save lives. The "other" driver can hear you coming. Or so the story goes

    Uneasy about towing this trailer

    I would seriously consider consulting a lawyer about the bank deal, where a legal resident of these United States, is stereotyped into a likely scofflaw,based on the "wilderness" factor. It is against Federal law for lending institutions, who are insured by the US Government, to discriminate...

    Extension cord...12V/110 V inverter @ 1000W to a wall outlet

    I apologize Gary.....it is difficult to try and explain the length that is available. And the flexibility of that heavy cable is also a big problem.....with such a short length available, now it's getting the cable bent over enough to get the lugs on the studs. If I can attach a lug to lug...

    Extension cord...12V/110 V inverter @ 1000W to a wall outlet

    Good information Detroit.... My system does have a wall outlet installed by the dealer for inverter use. I "hope" they did it right. I don't have access to the back of that entertainment center, without tearing it down, to verify a first rate job or not No problems at all whatsoever. And that...

    Extension cord...12V/110 V inverter @ 1000W to a wall outlet

    Thank you again Gary......I will consider those as well. My whole motivation was to avoid having to remove the under belly seal, to gain access to those cables. And there is scant cable length, coming up from that underbelly, and into the floor area below the bed frame box, to splice in a...

    Extension cord...12V/110 V inverter @ 1000W to a wall outlet

    Ok Gary got that and thank you. That 1000W inverter is only called on to  power a modern LCD TV, a small table top fan, a laptop and a boombox Sirius radio....and not all at the same time. TV and fan only, or laptop, fan and boombox at the same time. Inverter power source is two Trojan 6v golf...

    Extension cord...12V/110 V inverter @ 1000W to a wall outlet

    Thank you.... I don't see the existing cable wire size. It is ran through the sealed up underbelly. Where it enters under the bed box frame, and to the outside of that frame, is just 3" or 4" Looking at cable wire diameter charts, this cable is in the 1/0 or 2/0 range. It's heavy stuff. Even...

    Extension cord...12V/110 V inverter @ 1000W to a wall outlet

    Thank you...... On a slightly related item...... Can the battery cabling, that connects to the rear of the inverter with lug rings, be lengthened just a few inches by connecting lug ring to lug ring with a bolt, using a smaller cable size for the jumper, and then attached to the inverter...

    Extension cord...12V/110 V inverter @ 1000W to a wall outlet

    What wire size extension cord would be good to go for use with a 1000W inverter, to a standard wall outlet for 110 power? I use 4 devices that needs 110 power. A 32" LCD TV gets plugged in directly to the wall outlet, along with the power strip cord. I use that power strip cord, with several...

    2017 Jayco SLX 245RLSW Ongoing problem since new. It's time to do something. Can't take it back to the dealer.......I am deep in Baja Mexico and a 1000 miles away. The black tank drain volume is just a trickle....even after 30 days of use. No paper has EVER been deposited and less than 4...
