RE: New to lithium battery
As others have said, you need to do some research. What is max input for your lithium batt? Can your charger be programmed to that max value?

RE: Residential Fridge battery run time
My signature shows the "missing" info.
And, yes I can go more than a few days, but it's nice to be "topped off", just in case.
Sorry. I did not look down. Thanks.

RE: Residential Fridge battery run time
After buying our new fiver, then adding solar, LFP batteries, and 3k inverter (see signature) we opted to replace the RV fridge (which was having issues) with a 20 cf Whirlpool res fridge. We are on our 4th day of boondocking and here are the results.
Solar charged to 99% state of charge at end of 1st day.
Solar charged to 96% SOC at end of 2nd day.
So it looks like we will need to run the genny once every 4 or 5 days for an hour or two. Or we might add another 400 watts of solar.
What is missing is how much battery AH you currently have and how many watts solar you currently have. Since LFP can be used down to 5% SOC, I would think you could easily go for a couple weeks, with current setup and usage.

RE: Residential Fridge battery run time
On the contrary, a residential fridge, when set up correctly with the right battery bank, an appropriate inverter to run it, and a generator to recharge when needed....Works very, very well for someone not planning to be near electrical hookups very much (boondocking).
^^^ This.

RE: What % Of Alcohol Does Your State Have?
It looks like USA gasoline is going to jump to fifteen percent minimum.
Forever
All gas is not going to 15% as a minimum. A few ethanol producing states are going to blend and sell 15% gas outside of the normal June to September cutoff.
Nothing is going to change with 10% gas availability.
Gary is right.
Only about 2% of stations are set for 15% and most of those are in the mid west. The rest of the US will likely remain as is.
This "emergency" action is lipstick on a pig.

RE: Co-pilot electric chair
I've at times thought of an electric chair for co pilot. 6,000 volts and 500 amps
Now that's not nice. You need to learn how to say it Nice like I did up thread :) (thanks for the laugh by the way).
It should be a rocker switch with the bottom being "EJECT".:B

Door lock not working with either FOB
2019 Allegro RED 37BA. Entry door stopped working with both fobs. It started working again for about 24 hours then stopped again. Before I tear into it, is there a battery inside or is it hardwired? I could not see any wires from a cursory look. 12v is working.

RE: rv fridge
machunt,
What RV do you have? This is critical to having a targeted discussion with you.
Your issue should not be what to do while in storage. You can turn off the 12v and the inverter, so no additional draw on the batts. You can also unplug an RR fridge and like an RV fridge, leave the door open.

RE: rv fridge
I would add one thing to what the Fisherman said. Check the plugs by your current fridge to see if there is an inverted socket. Should be one but not all RV are created equal. An RR actually cools down just like the house fridge, as that is what it is. Much, much faster and constant than a standard RV fridge.

RE: 50 > 30 > 20 amp
I would use dog bones. I would not use the hockey puck style 30 - 20 amp, as they promote more heat in a very small area.

RE: What Chassis do I have
Tony, there is really nothing special about an OEM converter, Ford doesn't build them anyway, they are provided by one of their vendors. I think the major concern is one sized large enough for your 8-cylinder engine and fits in the space of the original.
I don't follow. What has a converter to do with the engine and what does the engine have to do with a converter?

RE: Multiple Buyers. Who gets the RV?
First with green wins, every time. Get the second folks cell and call them if it sells. They can turn around.
This is a Jack AZZ move. If YOU say to someone that you will wait for them after you speak to them and there is an agreed upon time to meet and you sell it out from under them that is Chicken ShnitZ.
But that's not what the OP suggested.
Actually it is
Copied from original post
We have another buyer who contacted us over a week ago when we were out of town. We told him when we get back we'll contact him and he plans on coming tomorrow. He lives about 4 hours away.
So, yes, he made contact and the individual said he would come tomorrow. I think it's safe to assume this was agreed to by the OP.
MikeWhere is the promise?

RE: Freezing Temperatures
I would not leave drains open. Your propane heater, probably the rear heater, should keep the wetbay warm. Space heaters and heat pumps do not heat the wetbay.
