    For the love of god, why don't they move the key location. I hate where the key is on my 2.0. Would be better if the battery could be removed without folding the bike, but that's just a personal preference. Also, why don't they offer an option to replace the existing seat at the factory, it sucks that the stock seats are just being thrown away. And finally, they should up the allowable top speed to 22-24 mph.

    Why not just bring large 1 gallon or larger extra water. ? This is way too much trouble. Do you really need water out of a faucet to wash hand or dishes? What else do you use for? Keep water for short showers and of course toilet. It makes no sense to me when you know you will run out of water? Be prepared. And you keep saying RV so most don't pull a car. Unless you have a trailer? That's not an RV. Camping means you are NOT in your house or apartment. Do not run the water as if you are.

    • @my_channel_44
      @my_channel_44 4 дні тому

      ​​@@JamesAmbrose48James is right! Get yourself a simple Growatt or EG4 3k, 5k or 6k from CurrentConnected, and about 10kw of batteries (5kw 48v packs are the smallest size). Skip getting the LCD display-on-battery, if it's an option, to save a little money. For more savings, do a DIY build with tested used packs and a DIY BMS/case. Your generator runs at a sweet spot: 50-80% load. You can figure out what's best. You can then program the 3k to fire it up when the batteries get down to 20%, and turn off when they are at 80%, and set your preferred charge rate, which is equivalent to the load on the generator. You'll have far better fuel usage on the generator because it won't spend any time idling, and 95% of the time, even without any solar, it won't be running. See that start/stop switch on the dash? You can interface that harness with the dry contact relay on the 3k, and it can start/stop your generator, as needed. LFPo are 99% efficient. Even with charging losses, it's still the high 90's.

    These BMS's have temp info, but instead of getting complicated by tying into the RS485, you can get an inkbird 308 (w or wo wifi) and have it tell you if your temps adjacent to the battery are getting out of line. Iirc these do not have an internal heater. If you stick a battery directly on your floor, first jam the inkbird probe underneath it, so during the winter you'll get an alert if it gets too cold. These will shut-off the loads and charging at freezing.

    How long are the terminal bolts? The EG4's came with bolts that were too short, so by the time you got more than the provided interlink cable connected, you didn't have enough thread engagement to properly torque them with any additional connections. Swapping them out with longer ones, body bolts from a toyota, worked 😂. Make sure you size your terminal bolts, and the depth of the inner threads, and have on-hand longer ones to accomodate all your connections.

      The downside of a 10kw+ single battery, is it weighs 210+ lbs. Each 5kw like this, usually weighs in at 110lbs (50kg).

      This battery and a 3k AIO, will power up a 1-ton unit/12,000 BTU, typical mobile roof air conditioner, barely. With a soft-start, yes - no problem. To avoid passthrough surges on your generator, charge through an EG4 Chargeverter, or a couple (or more) IONIC LFPO chargers (they can be stacked, 10 amps ea).

      I don't plan on putting it in a rack. I used a platform with casters on it so I can stand it on end and move it around easily. A little electrical tape over the exposed comm ports will keep any dust out.

      Yup. It's heavy for sure. Too much for one person. Luckily I have a hoist and and lift table.

    Exceptional video, you are very articulate and able to explain the water heater troubleshooting process so well. I bought a used RV, installed a new water pump then discovered the water heater wouldn't turn on. I read the owners manual, then the Atwoods manual and neither offered a troubleshooting guide. After watching your video I tested the thermal fuse, it was functional so I reinstalled it and the water heater turned on. I'm going to get extra thermal fuses. plus a spare thermostat and fuse. Thank you! P.S. I hope you have a video on troubleshooting the generator..... The next project, after I replace an exhaust fan and clean the AC coils.

      Great! Glad it helped. Sounds like you had a loose connection on the fuse. Easy peazy :) Here's a generator video from a while back ua-cam.com/video/U72Zmk0BF-o/v-deo.html I also have one even older for oil changes and then another removing the generator completely. Starting issues are usually fuel related (carburetor, fuel pump or fuel filter). If it's showing error codes (blinking lights on the start switch) the it might be electrical or controller board. All of those things can be replaced. Good luck.

    they are now achieving this within the battery itself, so no need to buy multiple batteries.

    This is a really neat idea, and correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't blocking the reflective serface with fabric reduce its effectiveness?

    Genius idea! I am just an hour away from installing my flexible solar panel, but now I have to run to the hardware store. Thanks for saving me from making the mistake of gluing my panel directly to the roof!

    I live in the federal way area, do you recommend Kimball’s. I didn’t hear you price their work or anything. I understand it was 12 years ago. Great videos

      I was referred to them back then as the best for big rig alignment. I haven't been there since though.

    Excellent video, however, on mine it works all the way through the propane firing up and lighting, and propane runs about the normal time it would to heat my tank then shuts off, but I still get NO hot water. I am totally baffled by what could be happening here. I believe I have all of the winterization valves turned correctly too! When I sanitized my system prior to using it I of course let my water heater tank fill as part of this and then drained it again as recommended. Only thing I messed with is removing the PRV to allow me to pour vinegar into the tank from the top to let it sit overnight and descale my tank for calcium deposits. But the tank is not dripping anywhere to indicate a pressure leak.

      All fixed! While your video was really great and i feel so much better informed about my water heater, turns out my whole issue this time after I replaced my ECO and TStat was a winterizing valve that needed to be closed and not opened. I have hot water again!!! Yay!
