    Battery warming for Lifepo4 batteries.

    I wrapped my Lifepo4 cells in an RV tank heater and wired it to temperature controller. Kicks on at 34 degrees and turns off at 40. I have an Overkill Solar BMS with Bluetooth so I can monitor cell temps and turn on and off charge and discharge just in case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Timbren Axle-less for Long Trip?

    Not Timbren specifically but I’ve had bearings give out on Dexter Torsion axles multiple times; if your driving at speed the wheel can bend the spindle and it’s a pain finding a replacement. Even with properly packed bearings, they can fail without warning. Suggest bringing at least one spare...

    Is there no power actually going to the pump or is the pump not operating? My trailer has a switch to turn on power for the pump, located by the hot water housing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Simultaneous charging from MPPT and alternator

    My understanding, and I could be wrong here… LiFePO4 batteries can be safely charged between 0°C to 45°C meaning you can use the battery below freezing temps but if the batteries don’t have some type of heating system, they won’t take a charge if temps are below or above those numbers. Low...

    I’ve got propane on both sides, one bottle for the stove and one bottle for the hot water heater. Ended up installing a diesel heater so I don’t have to worry about propane for that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Water fill, water pump, and all the plumbing is on the passenger side…at least on mine. Seems like a huge hassle to switch it drivers side. In my experience with the limited time I’ve spent in designated campsites, there’s really no specific way you have to park your trailer. I’ve also never...

    Removing rear seats to increase payload capacity?

    I run a Chevy 1 ton dually stock with a 32 ft gooseneck. GCVW is roughly 28k lbs but I’m apportioned for 25,999 for tax purposes; generally I weigh in around 25k lbs. I have around 2000 pounds over the hitch and the remaining weight over the trailer tandems. I’ve towed this setup roughly 8k...
