Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

You just made my point. Someone has to do it or you will be waiting forever for improvements. If you want to be a Luddite and criticize what I did so be it. It wasn't a modest bit more capability. I...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

Of course you can but that doesn't change the fact you can't do what I can. This is the topic about battery technology spurred by Tesla. I doubt Tesla will be in the RV market anytime soon and their...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

Wincrasher you are sipping your own brand of Kool-Aid. I've had 40 years of tent camping and 10 years of Class B glamping with your capabilities only I could produce hot water from a faucet without...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

I should mention we can turn off the inverter any time. It is not necessarily full time but with the battery power the hit is minor. The only things that run on 120vac are the microwave, Keurig,...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

I had the 100ah setup. Acceptable means living with what you got. That is compensation talk. They have quiet hours in campgrounds because the majority abhor noise. For me it became unacceptable when...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

I boondock any way or anyplace including places where if you have one or two batteries, generator and propane you are screwed if you can't run your generator and your battery runs down. Many national...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

I think the point folks were making is that propane can give you equivalent off grid capabilities compared to huge amounts of battery power. (you asked when someone like Winnebago would do it, and it...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

You must have a different concept of off the grid than I. I've had two propane equipped RVs. I know well the capabilities. Winnebago has nothing anyone else provides and much less than Roadtrek and...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

I'm not too worried about the lithium ion fire danger as much as I am about propane that has proven to be a major hazard in RVs killing people by gas and fires. You need a lot of battery power to...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

ARV lithium ion batteries are protected all around with heavy steel angles, bars and plate base, then encased in an insulated box with a fiberglass exterior finish. Then that assembly is protected...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

The customers, not dealers, is what is driving ARV faster than anyone else. The customers have been mind-boggling creative. We will soon see a super high model Sprinter with all new features from ARV...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

The only similarity of Advanced RV with Technomadia is Elite Power Systems and GBS batteries. But the batteries are different and a newer generation for ARV, the battery management is newer and the...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

I've read the articles. I already have 10 kWh of lithium ion batteries in our B. Tesla is basically announcing a pre-prepared package at less than half the current price. Solar alone on a B could not...

Re: Tesla to announce new revolutionary product Apr 30

I don't know if I would call the Technomadia bus RV experimental. It was a commitment. It has been running that way for 4 years. Maybe a first somewhat in RVs but the yachting industry is way ahead....
