  1. I run 105 steers, 95 drives and 85 tag with 40psi pressure on tag , good year g670, 16 ply 275 80 22.5 all around? Pressures measured cold and monitored by TST 12 sender TPMS, with repeater
  2. Same here, no worries having a few showers, dishes etc on electric, diesel only really need for heating, one hint I’ll give you, the engine heats my system possibly not all, but getting the electric element on as soon as possible will eliminate waiting for hot water when coming off the road, have hot water for hours even if I don’t turn on electric element
  3. Yes I read up on those, mixed reviews on whether they actually did anything to improve sulphated lead acid batteries or not, I know I see a measurable increase in my batteries specific gravity during and after equalizing the with the inverter/charger. The pulse system from what I read uses up to 60 volts for extremely short periods to blast sulphate off plates, again mixed results on whether the damage done by extremely high voltage pulsing through the battery is off set by the recovery of capacity. If I believe what the so called experts say there needs to be some sort of fluid movement inside the battery to properly redistribute the chemicals, to some extent the bubbling accomplishes this, whether that’s true or not I don’t expect it hurts, the pulse tech if it actually works doesn’t accomplish that from I read. So equalizing with inverters works but it requires some attention during charging and does increase voltage nominally for an extended period of time, but I definitely works and 16 volts is typically with in the threshold of most 12 volt DC equipment but not all, the knew technology using extremely high voltage for milliseconds is definitely not recommended by some so called battery experts and causes damage to lead acid batteries and sensitive electronics. The jury’s out on whether pulse gimmicks work or are snake oil and to what extent if any they have on the typical golf cart style lead acid batteries used by the majority of RV, boats etc.
  4. My trace puts about 15.5 - 15.9 volts to the house batteries, I usually shut everything off and disconnect what I can for equalizing just in case, high voltage is the only way you can equalize and reverse build up on plates of lead acid batteries, no real way around it
  5. Not up on agms but was under the impression they can be equalized?
  6. Here’s my suggestion, disconnect your short jumper between one pair, then the next, measure voltage with good meter, that will help you determine if you have a bad pair of batteries, if they all measure the same then try each battery individually, disconnect on the short jumper wilL isolate batteries, let them sit for few hours, re measure voltage, a bad battery will discharge and voltage will drop. Now if your batteries all measure well and they measure well individually, and if you have a specific gravity tester, check each cell, they should all measure close to each other and be in the white close to green if not fully charged and in the green if charged. Once you determine you batteries are all in decent shape charge them with your inverter, make sure your inverter is set up properly for batter size, charging limits battery type etc. once you have done all all that and charged all you battteries, you can perform a equalization charge which require you to monitor batteries during the charge, you will need to ensure they have adequate acid levels, remove cell caps, have a thermometer safety glasses and gloves, run the equalization charge, cells should bubble and get warm, never over 100f, it may take hours and that may clean up your batteries. If not, they are likely shot
  7. Install a battery isolator and charge both
  8. sent a message thank you for info Would like Closer to coast but will keep info thank you
  9. Looking for spot from Xmas through to end of January, at this point just about anything will do
  10. Been there done that, has to repair twice in 7 years, the trolly system needs to slide smoothly and everything needs to stay in alignment
  11. That’s my back up light and they lasted almost 20 years 😊
  12. all fixed, power wise, transmission is still shot for forward and reverse on passenger seat, looking for 6 way power seat carriage, my coach has Villa seats if anyone has a lead, over $500.00 US for replacement.
  13. Has any one found a replacement or solution to burnt out reverse lights?
  14. Anyone know the location of the passenger side power seat fuse. my drawing as so blurry I cant read most of the fuses Thanks Bill,
  15. Been running for hours and still at 12.5 volts
  16. Back up to 12.65 v with just rads and circ pumps running fur 1 hour
