    Victron SCC for smart watches?

    ...I would say there is not a problem with the Victron devices. I would gladly complain about various glitches and bugs with the Apple iPhone11. It could very well be this user and others would have no issue.

    Victron SCC for smart watches?

    a very annoying component of the use of the Victron app with an Apple iPhone, is the requirement to power down the iPhone prior to use of the Victron app. Essentially this means use the app one time during the day, but do not expect to use again without power down. I get tired of powering down...

    I do not think they are talking about the vertical space between the ground and the open platform surface. There is lots of vertical space inside the bed of the truck with the tent opened. edit: i missed that first quoted line about 81" of clearance under the platform. I honestly do not see...

    OK. I've been shrinking a bit, I'm previously six foot. I'll try to open the shell on the street tomorrow and measure. Here is a photo a few weeks ago where I parked just right, platform near level, and downslope below the tailgate, had plenty of vertical space. looks easy but actually took time...

    I'm not as tall as you. I have scraped the lid at times. I try to site the truck so there is a downslope. You definitely need a stiff spring to prevent rear sag. You can carry 'maxtrax' type objects to drive onto. I occasionally use short 2x6 plank pieces to park on. under no circumstance would...

    I tried to order a small part last winter and did not get any response in terms of order confirmation but my paypal went somewhere. paypal made refund, despite their resistance to taking action.

    Victron

    Victron is actually OK. and in my opinion, very good. I personally would avoid the use of Amazon as a source for obtaining factual information. Purchasing Victron products from an authorized dealer has advantages that Amazon can not match.

    AdventureTaco - turbodb's build and adventures

    That bent post is a 'common' problem. I say common, but you and I are probably the only ones to have this occur from the same seller. My replacement unit arrived with good posts but with a fluctuating voltage of 0-6V, and would not take a charge. I kept hearing in e-mail that I'd be taken care...

    Volvo XC70 a good overlander?

    I bought a 2007 XC70 with 38K miles. Very comfortable road car, I thought the front seats were the best part. I banged my head quite often getting in the car, but once in the drivers seat, it was a pleasure to me to drive...on the highway. We just traded it in for nearly nothing at 118K, the...

    Battery Monitors, what works and doesn't

    I use the BMV712. I'd buy it again. Be sure and purchase from a Victron dealer you can communicate with. Don't buy from a seller on amazon who has no clue about what they are 'selling'.
