    Easy start

    Thank you so much for such a detailed response. It is appreciated. There is just so much to learn, and while exciting I do find myself feeling overwhelmed at times. It's kind funny. Ive never RV'd and I've never had a Diesel engine to operate. So I do it all at once. Why not? haha Dom you feel...

    2018-2022 Bay Star Power Cord Reel Install

    ...to know if all your ACs are on that one line that has the most arc corrosion, or if you have "AC Soft-Start" installed. We did not have Soft Start on our last motorhome, but after seeing that much arc corrosion on your power reel, I'm seriously thinking it might help. I cannot think of other...

    WGO earnings coming - short sellers?

    Your assessment may have worked a few years back! Now with signs that the economy is soft. The dilemma is more, how will they even survive at all with the really bad reputation they built for themselves! Time will tell, but in my opinion we are at the top just starting at the Rollercoasters peak!

    MOD Micro-Air EasyStart for RV air conditioners

    I'm interested...I realize temperature, sun exposure, and battery capacity all factor in...but how long could you run the A/C without hitting 50% SOC?

    FYI Victron's new Dynamic Current Limit setting in inverters

    ...vendors go to Victron as it's obviously on the leading edge but companies tend to buy cheap wholesale outdated tech vs. latest and greatest. Hope that changes. Anyways, back to the content...I believe this feature is what I would call a built in soft start within the inverter. From...

    Lithium Battery Package

    ...Looked it up and it appears you probably have: - 330 watt solar panel - 1200 Ah lithium battery storage (or 14,400 watts) - A/C has soft start installed - 13,500 btu A/C Who created the video that said you could get 3 days of A/C usage? Rough math: - 13,500 btu typically consumes around 12...

    ...worry about running your batteries down, using the normal stuff. You can also carry a small compressor and use the genrator to air up tires, supply power tools, etc. That was one of the first things I bought when I had a trailer. Soft start has always been on my to do list, but I never got to it.

    Question Lithium ion batteries

    We did add 1300 watts of solar and a 3000 watt Hybrid inverter along with the 600 amps of LiFepo4 batteries. We have all the electrical power we want for our purposes, and then some. The front A/C we added a Soft Start so we can run that unit on batteries only for a considerable time if needed.

    Used RV Roof Opinions

    Hi Everyone, My fiancé and I are looking at a used RV. We have thoroughly inspected everything and found no leaks/soft spots/issues but we are slightly concerned about the roof.

    Pricing? Is this a good deal? $5000 for a 21' Tail-Gator in good condition

    Is it reasonable to ask to test tow a trailer when buying from a private party? What about bringing a tank of propane to test appliances? I'm a first time buyer and don't know what is reasonable or what might be considered rude. I will be going to see it in person on Sunday. I know to check...
