RE: TC, ATV's and boondocking...
Wife wont ride "shot gun" in the RZR. She feels more at home on the 800. Finally sold the 700 last week cause I feel at home in the RZR. Different strokes.

RE: Trojan T-105
I bought this storage box from Lowes. Heavy duty and hold 4 6v's perfectly. Only $20. Price out the Interstate 2200's. Same specs as the Trojans. Battery prices have sky rocketed this year so dont pay much attention to what someone paid several months ago.

RE: Slide in or not to slide in
:h It would have taken less time to move the slide than it did to make a post on RV.net. It would have taken less time to move the trailer and put the slide back out than to read the replies. ;)

RE: Hankook tires
When I bought our Michelin's the dealer recommended the Hancook's. He said most of the truckers he sells to uses them on their trailers.

RE: Trojan batteries/solar
Always read it was taboo not replacing all the batteries, but when I went from 2 batteries to 4 I wasn't about to throw out 2 one and a half year old batteries! They seem to be doing just fine.

RE: solar panel
I bungee our 110w solar panel to a 4 foot aluminum step ladder. That way I can park in the shade and follow the sun. If I need a ladder I rob it from the solar panel. Kill two birds with one stone.

RE: PD9145A Charging problems.
I have had the PD9145 for about 3 years. I measure at the battery. It has always pumped out 14+ volts in the boost mode. It has now quit doing that and will only put out 13.3 in boost mode. Like I said the battery was at 60% and SHOULD take the whole 14+ volts. I am sure something is wrong but don't know if it is the Wizard or the converter. It is at the storage lot now as I am getting the FW ready for a trip and just figured I would order a Wizard or a converter if either is bad so I could just do the swap when I brought it home. I could take the Honda down there and unplug the Wizard and see what it dose. Could just order a PD9260 and be done with it, but the "boss" is getting a little tired of me throwing money at these things. :E

RE: PD9145A Charging problems.
If the battery is only at 60% it should be getting the whole 14+ volts. Doesn't matter if I check voltage 1 minute or 1 hour after I start charging it goes to 13.3 within a few seconds and stays there. I just now hooked up my FW that has the PD9260 and with 12.5 volts at the battery it is now charging at 14.2 in boost. How can I tell if it is the Wizard or the converter on the 9145? Darn, I had an extra Wizard and sold it!

PD9145A Charging problems.
I have the PD9145A with Charge Wizard in our TC. The last two trips while topping off the battery (battery down to about 60%),with the Honda 2000, I could only detect 13.3 Volts on boost and 12.7 on Normal mode. The strange part is the first time it happened when I got home I checked it and it would put out 14+ volts on boost on shore power and when I hooked up my Honda it also put our 14+ volts. It didn't do the same when I checked it this last trip. Any ideas if it is the Wizard or the converter causing the low voltage or is a call to the factory in order? Oh, I did pull the batteries (two T-105's), the first time it happened, and checked them and cleaned all the terminals.

RE: Disappearing fresh water!
Most tanks are pretty flat but take up a lot of real estate. Ours had three vents, one on each end and one in the middle plus the one near the fill opening. I put a shut off on them so when I was done filling I cold close them up and it could not syphon the tank. I also found that you could have 10-20+ gallons left that wont get to the pump pick up. I "shimmed" up the tank on the off outlet end with a 2x4 so the water would drain to the pump intake even if you are not parked level. Keep every drop and get every drop now.

RE: Would you live in this fiver?
Most modern RV's have an electric option for the water heater and the refrigerator. You could also run electric space heaters in the trailer. No gas is needed.
