RE: House batterys

Do you camp off grid? If you are basically plugged in when parked a Walmart group 29 might do just fine.

RE: 30 amp camper/50 amp plug and cord

OP here. Power cord is 50mp at the pedestal end and a 3 prong twist lock at the trailer end. Main breaker in camper is 30 amp. Since the trailer is on a permanent site I'll just continue to use the 50/30 adapter. The question remains, hypothetically speaking, if I was on the road could I plug into the 50 amp receptacle on the pedestal without damaging my trailerI thought 50a twist lock on an RV had three blades and the ground as a side contact. Are you sure it is 30? Picture might help. 50 amp: https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-kwuh809851/images/stencil/2560w/products/2593/22997/50-Amp-Plug-3-4__38415.1623333729.jpg?c=2 width=350 Maybe you want this adapter? https://www.valterra.com/product/mighty-cord-30amp-50-rv-detachable-power-cord/ https://www.valterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/A10-3050EDBK.jpg width=400

RE: Tire Advice

Goodyear Marathon or Goodyear Endurance? What part blew out? Separating tread? Sidewall failure? Any chance of road hazard ran it low on air?

RE: Charging batteries with a small generator

I would not count on more than 30 to 35 amps into the battery from a 1000w generator. Minimum three hour run time. Possibly twice a day. Post the existing charging system for best answers.

RE: towing with a Tesla

Best selling car, not vehicle. Tesla Y 267,200 World sales. F-Series 170,377 US sales. Anyone have first quarter world sales for F-Series?

RE: towing with a Tesla

I will learn how much money I will receive this week.Interesting that a warranty claim could total the vehicle and that a buy out would be an option. BTW Model Y is the best selling vehicle in the world in the 1st quarter 2023: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-model-y-was-the-best-selling-car-worldwide-in-the-first-quarter-154909234.html At least Tesla with all its shortcomings will replace a defective battery under warranty. GM seems to be stepping up also on battery replacements if needed.

RE: towing with a Tesla

OK if a gallon is 34 kWh and a gas vehicle goes 10 mpg and the EV goes 30 to 50 miles on that same energy there must be a bit more math involved or some laws of physics are broken.

RE: towing with a Tesla

Regardless of its 'ability' to tow, it's still a pretty lightweight vehicle for the job. I'll take a hard pass on that one.The video does mention the EV is relatively heavy for the size with a low center of gravity that really helps with handling as it tows.

RE: towing with a Tesla

Hi all, https://youtu.be/FX5lzqzZ2Do a ten minute video.Can Am in Canada has long been famous for setting up unconventional vehicles that tow really well. I believe this guy really knows what he is doing. Far more than most dealers even if he pushes the limits.

RE: '21 RAM Big Horn 3500 DRW CC/LB 4x4 with NEXEN Tire WOES!

I recommend Goodyear Wrangler® All-Terrain Adventure With Kevlar® that is available in that size for far less than $2000. This is top line GY and will serve you well. https://www.goodyear.com/en_US/tires/wrangler-all-terrain-adventure-with-kevlar/2732-74863557200000.html?back=tireFinder Goodyear will come out to you and replace the tires right where you are.

RE: Will Air bags make a big difference?

Trailer Specs Hitch Weight 663 lbs GVWR 9463 lbs Dry Weight 5777 lbs Cargo Capacity 3212 lbs Vehicle Specs 4WD: Double Cab, 5.8 V8 9600 lbs / 4354 kgs – 5.3L (3.42 axle) I would count that as 9463 trailer and the truck is maxed out. Drive and adjust your expectations accordingly. How much does the rear sag once fully connected to roll? May need to tighten up the distribution bars if the rear drops more than a couple inches. Anything in the bed?

RE: May have towed too much weight

Was the transmission hunting gears or shifting frequently? May need to manually hold a lower gear at times and keep the engine rpm up and minimize shifting. Drive slower helps. Especially up hills. Ask about adding an auxiliary transmission cooler.

RE: No DC Power after shutting down generator

2000w inverter works regardless. Inverter works tells me there is plenty of working battery power. Verify voltage on the battery and along the path to the stack of 12vdc fuses. Eventually there will be a spot with voltage on one side and not the other. Better yet... take it in under warranty.

RE: When impatience hurts!

^^^It would be interesting to know if the truck was accelerating or decelerating and it's speed. Usually most people have to be seriously frustrated to make those types of moves. It's 100% the class C's fault but I'm curious what led up to the class c driver make that move.Looks like the semi in the #1 lane was passing at a small speed differential and the C was impatient. The window was closing as the C pushed through. People do this all the time. Usually they make it or back down. Sometimes the passing vehicle that has the right of way will slow down.

RE: Does Generator wattage size effect battery charge time?

Five years is worth the upgrade. Easy self install if at all handy.
time2roll 05/14/23 04:20pm Tech Issues
RE: Does Generator wattage size effect battery charge time?

No mention of the converter brand... however if the battery voltage never gets to 14.2+ volts it will be a slow charge to 100%. Could take 8+ hours from low to near full charging at a common 13.6 volts. It is a WFCO WF8955PEC The manual has some weird statement saying it reaches 14.4v but a multimeter will only show 13.6v “If the output current reaches its maximum (normally caused by a discharged battery), this will cause the converter to go into Bulk Mode, which means the target output voltage will change to 14.4 VDC and a timer will start. Although the converter is outputting 14.4 VDC, you will not be able to read that on a voltmeter due to the voltage-current relationship.“That is a bunch of BS to hold the claim all is fine when the converter has a poor design that simply fails to work as expected. If the WFCO was in boost mode (14.40v) the voltage would steadily climb from 13.6 to 14.2+ in an hour or less. In virtually all RV installations the WFCO fails to work as expected. Really need a replacement to minimize generator run time. Most any 20+ amp portable charger will also work well if there is already one in the garage someplace. https://powermaxconverters.com/product/pm3-mba/ https://www.bestconverter.com/PD-4655L-MBA-WildKat-55-Amp-Main-Board-Assembly-for-WFCO-8955

RE: Does Generator wattage size effect battery charge time?

May need 20% to 30% additional apparent power as most converters have poor power factor. Either listed generator will run the converter alone just fine. No mention of the converter brand... however if the battery voltage never gets to 14.2+ volts it will be a slow charge to 100%. Could take 8+ hours from low to near full charging at a common 13.6 volts. Monitor the battery voltage to know what the system is actually doing when a fast charge is expected.
