RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
Just kind of curious when this turned into the forum on posting the wealth of Elon Musk, over the production of his truck and semi.I think it is a continued poke at the pundits that kept saying Tesla is going BK, Tesla cannot turn a profit, Tesla will never meet the huge debt obligations, sales will never grow at 50% per year, Gigafactory will never get built, Teslas built in a tent are junk, Teslas constantly catch on fire, Teslas constantly run into stationary objects, Tesla only makes money on the emission credits, Superchargers will never cover the US in our lifetime. Endless.
Some are still saying the Semi is a scam and will never get built.

RE: Wind!
I use a cab forward cover on my truck. Allows me to launch right from storage instead of first going to a car wash. No known damage from the cover.
I recently have to replace the front bungee hold downs as they have rotted in the sun. My good ones walked away :(

RE: What is the correct resting lifepo4 voltage?
I read 13.3 to 13.4 is typical to rest down from 14.4-14.6 charging.

RE: Glacier National Park and Mount Rushmore campgrounds
Can you still see enough of Glacier if the Road to the Sun is not open or don't have an entry ticket for it?I spent a day going over the road, it was great.
Also spent a day on the west side including a couple of the lakes and the Hotel and boat cruise. Spent another day on the east side where the moose can be easily spotted. Then two days in the north at waterton to enjoy the small town and an evening boat ride.
While GTTS road is great, it was mostly just a drive by for us. I did utilize the tours so the stories were good too. Although certainly the whole trip was not centered on this road.

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
Yes I have seen several Rivian trucks in my area. Although I believe they are test vehicles. Just a couple weeks ago one was parked unattended at my local grocery store.

RE: Glacier National Park and Mount Rushmore campgrounds
We did Rafter J for Rushmore and KOA for Glacier. Both were good. Get reservations. We had to beg and scramble for a few of the nights.

RE: How to build a LiFePo4 battery bank.
No. The heaters did not come on. Set to on 40, off 45. I did test the system with an ice cube before attaching the sensor to the battery. Collectively just under 6 amps was moving evenly through the heaters giving about 60 watts of heat. No power source at that point so no temperature rise verification or performance was measured.
I assume it is good to 20f, maybe lower, and covers about the worst I would see. Could be they never activate. Glad to know they are there to buy some time so as not to create an immediate panic to roll out.
Not really an expedition vehicle. Not likely to be in Canada in winter.

RE: Changing a tire yourself
2. You might want to not have just a regular high-tonnage hydraulic jack along - the better high-tonnage jack is one that extends higher just in case. i.e. A jack with dual cylinder capability so as to extend more than normal. i.e. What if the road shoulder is slanted downwards from the roadway, and the flat is on the side away from the roadway and you have/want to get the RV axle with the flat somewhat level?!Also note when you are buying a hydraulic jack that it needs to get under the axle/frame when the tire is flat or completely gone. Clearance can get very tight. Many higher tonnage jacks with decent lift may not go low enough.

IIRC coldest was 37f, daytime was 50s, battery coldest 44f. Not exactly severe conditions.

RE: How to build a LiFePo4 battery bank.
After a week in chilly Yosemite.... LFP is really game over for lead-acid. For me anyway.
Absolutely no issues. Could have completely ignored any battery or power related activity and just focus on everything else.

RE: Help!
Need a camera down the pipe to find what is stuck and what it is getting hung up on.
I assume this is the first real use?

RE: Protection from freezing
The tank heaters will work fine. If they are 12v the converter will supply the power. Either way you will want to be plugged in.
Or is this an off grid adventure?

RE: Charging Timer?
I would be worried switching 30 amps DC with that small relay. Maybe control a 15 amp charger.
Otherwise I would expect more reliability switching the AC power.

RE: New, low cost 100Ah 12V LiFePO4 battery !

Which battery is that pictured?

I think it was measured at 75 AH. Stone blocks added so the shipping weight would seem correct.

Careful you don't end up with one of these batteries for low price and claimed high capacity:

RE: Question about gray water...?
When we had a pop up trailer we used a regular tote to pull behind the truck to the dump station. The tote fit into the pop up doorway if there was no dump station. Was never dumped on the ground.
