Thought I'd give the 18" Ego another chance with a new chain so I packed it (20lbs) up 3000ft for 2 hours. Both 5Ah batteries were dead after cutting (cutout rolled down to the right) this tree. The rest of the trees were cleared with the Silky 650. Next time I'm bringing a gas saw.

Yes I agree. It wouldn't take much to make the portable heater cases with an either/or option.....keeping in mind that too much ducting is the same as blowing air into a air tight box.

The are OK for a tent but a poor design for a camper. The back pressure from blowing air into a sealed camper makes it horribly inefficient. It needs to draw (not the combustion) air from inside the camper.

You'd need a 2nd teardrop to carry enough Lipo/solar to run a 12V heater. A 12V heating blanket is another way to go. Propex are good but noisy. This is quiet heater that vents outside. http://dickinsonmarine.com/product/newport-p9000-propane-fireplace/ Don't run anything that (Mr.Heater...

Started this tree with the Silky 650 ( 4th replacement blade in 2 years) but the blade kept binding. Next day I brought the Ego 18" and two 5Ah batteries to try out. The saw just managed 3 (pcs was too heavy to move) cuts and could have made a 4th cut if the chain was brand new. The 18" Ego...

By passive I mean using as little battery power as possible. This week we were set up in the trees for 7days with rain/snow. With the bathroom heat for drying (2.5A) , ghost loads, charging devices, water pump, inside/outside lighting the 1.3Kw solar on the roof couldn't keep up with 6hrs of...

Interesting how our uses determine things?. We stay at one location for a 7-10 days and want limit starting (energy needed to warm the engine & starter batteries) an engine in the cold. My choice would be a passive (no fans) system that solar "may" keep up with.

Forced air is OK until you want to keep the tanks from freezing.

One of these will vent the air. https://www.supplyhouse.com/Caleffi-508013A-1-8-Automatic-Hygroscopic-Air-Vent

A mixing valve is used to will control the temp. It will mix the cool return water with the water from the boiler. 35-45C is way to hot for infloor. Your walking on it The better the insulation the worse a hydronic floor system performs as a primary source for heat source. There are some...

As long as there's no fiberglass mat insulation it will dry to the inside.

Silicone is not the best choice because nothing bonds to it. It is used as a mold release with the FRP skin. If the silicone isn't cleaned off 110% nothing will bond. This is why I avoid silicone. In this case try once more with silicone caulk. The old silicone needs to be removed. I have hard...

It's good to test run everything but why run a pcs of equipment and increase the service levels for when there's no need to....and it provides redundancy.

I missed the plan view of the system.... Separating the the loop for the bathroom is easy to do then you can choose to run them as 1 zone or separately Closing up the spacing at the door will direct more heat there. Consider running the return where there water lines are inside a cabinet...

There no need for the pultruded corner pcs. An aluminum angle (formed 45° or 90°as needed) inside and out works.

I use our air system all winter without issues. Lots of water drains and an air dryer. FYI Camper package add a sway bar. The strongest part of the FX4 package on the 2022 trucks is the stickers on the box.

Will the hot tub be on the roof or on a hyd. lift off the back?

The M12 modulates down to 1200w.

Canadians are easy to spot in Florida. They're the ones wearing Sorel or Baffin boots on the beach.

Aircon isn't so bad my buddies wife requires a flush toilet and AC for the hair dryer when they are camping. Another buddy runs his generator 24/7 for AC so we only go camping with him in the spring&fall.
