Since we are on the stinky subject, does anyone know the proper way to use the dump hose? There is a reducer attached to the end and I wasn’t sure when to uncap the smaller end versus the whole thing...

To those of you asking to use an app with your solar charge controller instead of the MT50 remote display, one of these wireless add-on boxes will do the trick. Much more convenient than the wired...

Well the Travato has the L-trim version running at 48v coming out in a month or two on the 59K and 59G, but that’s a $30k MSRP. Reports on preorders getting the option for $20k is trickling in, but...

I’ll have to poke around and figure out what solar charge controller that is.

I’ve done both, but I actually meant I left the inverter on, because I unplugged the shore power to move the coach and go in for the night. Thus I forgot to switch off the inverter and it drained the...
