Looks like there's an aquarium heater in the glycol tank

Glycol heating here at 1:55

Please tell me why you have issues with hydronic heat?

The 100 could be built with a baffle to split it in 1/2 with an external crossover. Run as 1 tank unitl/if there's an issue. Raise the pickup for gen/heater 2"-3"off the buttom so these do not pickup water dirt.

Propane is more difficult. We have a 100lb built in ASME tank. It will last weeks but when it comes time to fill some stations don't allow us to fill before 8:00am or when there is 1 attendant working. Iinstalled the Propex to low amp backup to the original Suburban heater. If i was starting...

Overnight a total of 22AH. It draws 2.25A

Last night it was 26F. Running all night the 2800 Propex kept a 300sqft trailer at 55F drawing 22Ah.

Stainless steel wouldn't break.

I can hear our Honda 2000 running when I'm inside the trailer. What about tandem breakers for the dist. panel? How about a battery switch (1-2-OFF) for power supply/ solar/ charging off. Things change....instead of engraving I like labels.

After an EMP or disaster the bridges out of town will plugged with vehicles so we'll be paddling our canoes.

You might be able to swap things around in the 110V dist. panel so the PD has a dedicated breaker. By code is should already have a dedicated breaker but I've seen them combined with indoor receptacles.

For redundancy I like to have seperate charging from the Victron system.

This is the concentric vent I made for our 2800 Propex. The heater is mounted in the middle of the trailer. The concentric vent reduced the length of hot exhaust tubing running past wires and into the sidewall of the trailer. The outside pipe only gets warm to the touch.

In July I was at a Victron/Magnum dealer. There was a used Lithium on the floor so I asked what was happening with it. It was junk and they mumbled that people think Lithium can be dropped in. Yesterday I found this. Its gets more interesting at 10min.

I've had a 7.3 for 19 years. The batteries have gone dead 3-4 times. I've replaced the batteries 4 times and I've had the alternator rebuilt twice which cost $40-$50 each time.

Nothing is built as poorly as a production line RV. Bumper pull trailers are the bottom (just below 5th Wheels) of the RV construction. Bunkhouse trailers are the bottom of the bumper pull construction due to the fact that there is more to build at the same or cheaper price. The chassis of...

Here's some info. https://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/general/bonding-hdpe-hdpe-315103/

Some glue conduit underground and others don't......there's no requirement to glue conduit underground.

I found out....if a 200amp (or 130A) alternator is connected to Port AB on a BMS12/200 it will limit the current to 80 amps.
