    He has changed the battery type in various trailers, so that doesn't help. Regarding driving to charge: without special modifications, you will not get much, if any, charge from driving. Trying to push the angry pixies down a nearly 40' circuit which is likely mostly 14 AWG wire, doesn't get...

    Guys, if there is *any* current being used from the rear panel (which includes the sockets, lights, and pump on my unit), the voltage reading there is completely useless [due to severe voltage drop]. Get a multimeter and monitor your batteries directly without a load to know what's truly going...

    Good work! What did you do? To post pictures, you might need to downsize them before uploading. Your software should be able to do that.

    I believe the roof must be held down securely to prevent water ingress when driving on rough roads. Otherwise it acts as a giant bellows and sucks water in through anywhere it can.
