RE: Federal Mask mandate

As for the "mask Mandate", my only concern is the authorities may use it as a wedge to delve much deeper into your travels. Does it open up the door to "probable cause" leading to searching your car, RV and campsite looking for who knows what? Personally, I don't want to be stopped by the highway patrol on the interstate under the pretense of "you weren't wearing the mandated mask".No! This is borderline paranoia.

RE: Smartplug Converstion

I wish Hubbell would make a 30-TT replacement plug.

RE: Fuel Costs

I just want to know where the energy is going to come from to power all those re-charging stations??With any luck it will be solar and wind power.
You can even install solar on your home roof now.
Does that cost money? Yes and so does gas. Pick your poison.

RE: Basic Question About AC Power Wiring

Run a 1500w space heater full and continuous and see if you have the same issue.
How old is the air conditioner? May need a clamp-on ammeter to check the draw and compare to specs.
It’s a power issue, not an air conditioning issueOK and low power will not hurt the space heater.

RE: Basic Question About AC Power Wiring

Brownout as in low voltage? You will need to take some measurements with your voltmeter along the pathway.
Possibly just tighten all connections including at least the transfer switch and the breaker panel.
May want to start at the source when measuring voltage.

RE: Newbie trailer owner, question on water pressure pump

Pump can stay on continuous. Pump will not burn out for being left on. Actually the motor does not run or draw power until water is needed.

RE: Vaccinations

"There's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months"
Isn't that a special statement?
Come on man!
We can however come up with plenty more restrictions, totally trash whatever is left of the economy, put millions more into the destitute column, and make them totally dependent on government handouts.
Never let a good crisis go to waste.I disagree with the "nothing we can do" part of the statement.
I believe the trajectory can be changed tomorrow if even half those fighting the mask would simply embrace it for a few minutes a day when they are in proximity to others. The vaccine is getting out slowly and even with a slow start will begin reducing infection and transmission.
The sooner the hospitals are not overflowing with treating covid-19 is better for all of us. Even if you have some other issue.

RE: Fuel Costs

And the tree huggers continue. The EC are a good “look at me” statement but not to good for driving any distance.If you believe that... just embrace the price of gasoline.

RE: Let me ask this question this way

Get out your DC clamp-on ammeter and measure the actual current into the low battery. Check at idle and at 2000 rpm. Post the results. I think you are chasing the boogyman.

RE: Calling on Solar Techies

Technically if you have 3+ panels in parallel they should be individually fused.

RE: Installing Solar

Can't you just get some L aluminum stock at Home Depot etc. and cut and drill as needed?

RE: Fuel Costs

I am continuously intrigued how often people decry the price of gasoline from one side of their mouth and yet disparage electric vehicles from the other side.

RE: Travel trailer necessities

Just some food and clothes. I like to acquire things as we travel along the journey. This creates unique memories of where you have been instead of the same old stuff from the local Walmart. Try to wait until you need something three times before you actually get it. Camping is about a change in routine so embrace the journey and the struggle.

RE: Pulling Long Travel Trailer to Glacier

I don't have but 26' behind me and I stayed west side and east and then north to visit Waterton a few years ago. I don't remember anything especially difficult... except we went with no reservations in peak summer. Still found a way to do it without too much drama. As long as you have a spot to park you are golden.

RE: Installing Solar

I used #10 stainless drywall screw and Dicor just into the plywood at random.
I did drill a small pilot hole so the screw would penetrate cleanly.

It's only going to get worse, when we are held hostage by foreign oil.
I don't see anything political in this post, so we'll see how long it lasts.The US has been a net exporter since November 2019.

RE: Federal Mask mandate

And much of the time when reporting the news, they are ALL bending the truth to fit the agenda... either Right OR LeftThe agenda has always been ratings and profits. True, false, right, left, center, is just the method to get the ratings up.
