Keeping a refrigerator alive with a battery and solar panels has brought back memories of my first DC theory from the sixties. Mainly simple series DC circuits. 67cj5 said it well. Looking for voltages in the tenths or hundredths at multiple locations with changing inputs and outputs is tough...

I've been using 120vac chainsaws for years. My favorite is a Remington 12", 8 amp model bought at a yard sale for twenty bucks years ago. It's had a bar, and numerous chain replacements. With an inverter in the camper, and a portable generator to get closer to the work, it has been very...

I'm old enough to remember knob and tube wiring. On two-wire 120vac outlets, I've often seen the hot (line) and neutrals reversed, which can cause metal surfaces to become energized. Tickles to hardcore jolts. I keep a non-contact voltage detector to determine if the source is wired...

If it has economy mode, ECO, have you tried turning that off to increase rpm to help rule out poor engine response?

Found out about too-high pulses before frying anything. While using a cheap PWM charge controller with a constant 15v manually programmed charge rate with me in charge of the timed equalization, an 80 watt DC-AC inverter stopped working. Replaced blown fuse. Blew again. I finally realized it...

Anecdotal only. No graphs, charts, internet links, or large, impressive-sounding engineeringeze. No proof, only conjecture and personal experience with some flooded batteries. My solar power camping experience began only three years ago. Before investing in new, latest and greatest, I...

Any updates?

I’ve often laughed at myself realizing that solar power for camping has taken me all the way back to the fifties and listening to DC Ohm’s law the first time. Maintaining industrial UPS back-up systems and my own golf cart’s batteries kept me sort of in tune over the decades. Below is my...

Thanks for the info. Your reply caused me to do more searching. The article in the link above was from the seventies, and mine is a 1994. It appears to be a full conversion, and the interior paneling, trim, hardware, tent material and outside pop top appearance is identical to this sixties...

I have an older FP630. Bought used very cheap due to incorrect temperature indication due to an inaccurate temperature sensor. The sensor is buried inside at manufacture. Edgestar became aware and installed two sensors, one a spare, in later models. I found this temperature controller on...

My wife and I found this van a couple of years ago and the only info I have found is this...
