Also, for the fire bug crowd - there are an average of 170,000 vehicle fires in the US every year. Yes, some are from electric vehicles, which garner a lot of attention - but gasoline vehicles are...

A Tesla can pull 600kW from its batteries. An RV rarely pulls over 6kW. Even a home backup will rarely pull 10KW. And that is only in spurts - most of the time an RV is under 1kW steady state. I...

Definitely doable. I'd look to Victron equipment to build out the electrical system. Use a 24V MultiPlus II 2x120 for the AC and the 24V DC charging, use an Orion DC-DC converter to feed the...

What is your propane pressure? Get a propane pressure gage to determine the pressure downstream of the regulator. If you have a QD (for a BBQ), you can just get an adapter and plug it in there. If...

429 converter is actually in the pass through. You'll have to take down the aft wall (couple screws). Worth checking it with a voltmeter before you do so though - unplug the shore power, measure...

Be sure to check the fitting. The inputs to the regulator may have a flare fittings (no Teflon), but the outlet (on mine anyway) is an NPT fitting (which should use tape/sealant).

I grabbed power from inside the switch panel. Very low current draw, so any 12V will do. Added a switch to the panel so I can turn the camera on and off. It just an add-on camera for the Vision S...

I put a furrion Vision S camera in my garage. Pretty simple as long as you can find power. Mines on the wall just forward of the side door by the bunk switches. It can see the whole garage real well....

Yep, you’re right. Scratch that idea. The neutral is going to compete and have all sorts of reaction. Would have to rewire your main panel to isolate L1 and L2 grounds, and use 2 shore power cables....

Now, if you want to run L1 off one generator and L2 off the other, that should be fine. Get a 50A - dual 30A splitter (which separates L1 and L2). Control the load on each line to be within the...

No problem. Converter/charger will keep it alive. Just be sure to check the water level (if it is a flooded battery) in the spring.

Dave,
I was thinking about this last night. You can open the door without power, but I pointed you at the wrong latch. The pull strap at the top inside does unlatch the door, but it actuates the...

No batteries needed. Go in the garage area and there is a pull strap up near the center of the door. Pull it and it unlatches the ramp.

Yes, L1 to ground is nominally 120v. And L2 to ground is nominally 120v. However, a normal household supply has L1 and L2 180 degrees out of phase. When L1 is +120v, L2 is at -120v. So the...

Well, I measured L1 to L2, and the voltage difference is zero (QG5500). So no 240 for your shop with this one, but it’ll still power all the 120 you want.

And to the nay sayers, remember this is...

Correct-a dogbone from 15A to 50A works just fine with a gfi. The wishbone style adapters that plug into a 30A for one leg land the 15A for the other leg will not work.

Onan lists the generator output as 1 phase, 120V, 2 pole. That should give you 240V pole to pole, but that needs to be checked with a multimeter first. If you measure L1 to L2 and get 240, then yes...
