I get it. I do diagnostics like this for a living and very few are able to. If you know someone who can, it will save you frustration. The issue you run into asking advice on a forum is unless the company has a flaw in the system somewhere, all you get is people guessing. Now you replace...

The first step in diagnoses is eliminate possibilities. You never just assume anything. Prove everything. What you cant prove you diagnose. You proved the ac part worked and that also proves the fridge. You need to prove the DC part now. The next part is going to be measuring current flow on...

The Jackery is fine for a day or two. Base camp for anything longer and your wanting solar. I run 100 watts on my cruiser and 400 on my trailer with a 200 watt folding as a backup if I'm camped in the forest. On my old trailer, my 150 watt put back whatever my fridge used over night and still...

I live in Southern California. I did a local search and came up with these. I used "California overland vehicle rental" as my search. Most of the rest of the results look like camper vans. If your not planning on going anywhere rough, Sprinter vans work very well out here. I have one in my off...

I very much agree with this statement. It doesn't help when peoples opinions are based on outdated knowledge and rumors. When I was young, the old timers were afraid of aluminum rims. They would say, "you can hammer a steel rim back into shape to get you home but you cant on an aluminum"...

100% agree. 100 degrees isn't too bad as long as you have a fan blowing on you and low humidity. That's what I tolerated in my youth. Today....Yeah....Uh...no. My buddy's zero breeze netted him a 15 degree drop and no humidity. 80 ish degrees with a small fan and no humidity would have been...

Going by the posted wattage, 696 watts will produce 2373 BTU. We really want something over 5K for 100sq feet. That 10k unit you posted would be drastic overkill but, you could always leave it on low and use a heated blanket. The down side is on max, it pulls a constant 58 amps. All I want to...

On my post earlier, the intake was taken from inside the trailer.

Good catch. Didnt see that.

Damn....What was your humidity? Here's the numbers my buddy gave me regarding his new Zero Breeze. Somewhere in Florida with about the same cubic feet, plugged into ac power. His batteries would only have lasted a few hours at best.... 100 degree ambient, 50% humidity. Four hours of running...

Ty. Looking at the web site, there were no pictures of the covers installed so I assumed they were for ducting the output. If I get one, it will be mounted externally with the air coming in through a port. When you do your testing, post outside temp and humidity as well as how long it took to...

Looking at the front, Is the top the outlet and the bottom the inlet? Also, the front cover allows you to duct the front in and out?

This proves it. We drank from the hose, didn't use hand sanitizer, rode bikes without helmets and fell out of trees. This is why we live longer.

As I stated above. I did look into this. More than once. Across the forums, this pops up once in a while and I look into it. Correct, my home owners insurance will cover some but the amount it raises my insurance verses what it covers, makes it not worth it. My auto insurance just shook their...

I have the same short cartridge in my trailer. I run a solid block carbon filter. It killed my flow rate but I like the filtering. If that is a UV filter, you don't have to worry about parasites and can get away with a better flowing filter.
