Don't know about that, as we didn't have any of them. I am going by the arcflash rules that came out a few years ago that required all the horribly inconvenient safety gear. Rubber jacket, special...

The higher voltages are coming, as are the integrated systems of batteries/chargers/inverters/alternators, etc, and in reality it is way overdue IMO. There is truly no reason to have the coach at...

Of course it is not as elegant as the split systems, but if you want the roof clear, you could always just use the Dometic like so many class b's have in the past. Especially with a high roof, it...

While I certainly agree with the temperature chasing range, and the lack of use for many folks on the Onan, I would certainly need to put a big modifier on the solar being useful, or not.

I would...

What I have seen on many of the factory setup in pix and what folks have done themselves is that the big vent openings, be it to outside or inside is not all that critical, but you want the airflow...

There is a note on the complete posting that the guy who made the drawing has on his website that says the setup was not a success and is saying ambient temps were just too high for outside air. He...

I am a bit surprised that the inside vented units are requiring extra fans, and seem to be using quite a bit more than rated power. When I went out researching the "good" frigs, they essentially all...

Ours was the same, and we needed to space it out to fit the opening anyway, so we used 3/4" urethane foamboard insulation to do it. We used the same foamboard to build the inlet and exit air ducting...

Yours is 9 cubic feet? That is very large, most "big" frigs are more like 5-6 cubic feet, that I have seen. The numbers I have seen would seem to indicate a .3-.5 multiplier for size, assuming you...

I certainly can't argue that the manufacturers don't fudge the specs on the compressor refrigerators. I set ours up on the bench first to see if it met spec, and it did come very close, but not in...

I an actually a little surprised that you can't do that pretty easily. We have similar battery capacity at 440ah and a compressor frig (probably35-40ah a day average use in hot weather) so we figure...

I think I would add a 1.5 group of solar users to Avanti's list. Those would be folks that aren't extreme power savers, may have a compressor frig, and use in the 50-100 amp hours of power a day. ...

Davydd, just reread post #893. You sound exactly like what you always criticize.

I don't think I would worry about the time needed to recover, as it could be adjusted by adding heaters. Nothing says you have to run all the heaters all the time, so you could easily have the 10...
