Re: More propane. More batteries, solar!

Hi John. That’s interesting about not keeping plugged in without turning off the battery switch. I wonder how it knows whether I’m occupying it or storing it. I guess I’ll keep trying the trailer assist. I’ve only done it twice. I will definitely post pics of the decals when they are installed. It’s...

Re: More propane. More batteries, solar!

Hi again. If you are plugged into a 30amp supply, you don’t have to worry about overcharging your battery. The charge controller will take care of it.

Re: How to remove TV

I’m not sure if it came with the tv installed. The original owner may have had it installed. He bought it in Colorado, towed it to Phoenix, and traded it in. Sweet deal for me. I paid “used” price for a three week old camper. I will try to take a picture later today. Thanks for your response.

More propane. More batteries, solar!

We ran out of propane and power on a cold Colorado night last year in our Comet 17RB. I don’t think we have to worry about that anymore.

We added a second propane tank with cover, a second battery in a security box, and solar. The whole upgrade cost less than $1000.
