I ordered 1 - 100 Ah 2 weeks ago at $924.00 from an online solar company, my bad. I did receive 2 by mistake on Tuesday. I am now waiting for their response to the over shipment. Maybe they will offer me a special deal. This looks like a great deal and I can envision lots of Ollie's with new batteries for Christmas. Mossey

FYI!

Sorry! I butchered the picture. To answer your question we would need to know the output of the panel. With that number the chart will give you ballpark value or you can use the link mjrendon or RNA attached above for more accuracy.

My air conditioner will run at the same time as the heater if I do not set the cool temperature to about 90°. I never understood why, I just figured out a way to make it work and moved on to the next thing. I learned some new things about the thermostat from Victor's post last month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmcSvh6xG2I&feature=emb_rel_end Mossey

I’m just here to help in any way possible. 🙄 Mossey

This is a picture of my last workstation, 2 - 32" and 3 - 24" monitors on a sit/stand desktop, so I get the big monitor thing. Your question got me to pondering the problem. My first thought based on Sherry's suggestion about the dinette and the fact that your traveling solo frees up one side of the dinette, was a Lagun mount on the side of the dinette seat under the table. Then I thought about mounting it to the shower wall, but that would be too far away for my taste. So here are a couple of options for both of my thoughts. I do think you should live with the big monitor temporarily and try it in different locations to see where you would like to mount it permanently and then find the best solution. Mossey

The Zamp Charge Controller is located between the solar panels and the batteries and controls the charge current from the solar panels on its way to the batteries. The Xantrex XC2000/3000 is an inverter with a built in charger. The charger portion would charge the batteries after AC shore power had been converted to DC. This is a different circuit than the Zamp product. So they are 2 different systems. And I hope I didn’t make it any more complicated than necessary. Mossey

I can vouch for the shower beer can holder, but it isn’t a Toolsie product. It is labeled Sudski and it was the first silicone wall product I bought. I found it on sale at Kohl’s and I had a coupon as well. I think it was about $6. Mossey

FYI, price drop on the Garmin RV 785 & Traffic. Mossey

I’m already "warm&fuzzy", just ask anyone except Krunch. And I was already using the Absorder's or chamois's while motorcycle camping when camp towels became available, so I never have tried them. I would suggest that you compare the camp towel to the Absorber the next time you "are working at the car wash".😉 Mossey

Since my dogs are short and visually stimulated, I use corrugated sign board and 3M Command picture hanging strips to block their view. I do lose air circulation through the lower screen. And after the elections, you can recycle the political signs which will be in plentiful supply. Mossey

Yes they are still in use and yes I still love them. Think of a silicone hot pad or oven mitt, they are nearly indestructible. We have 4 of the one in the picture and I see a different one called the Frank that is a little larger than ours and have a 10 lb. rating. And they are returnable if you don’t like them. Mossey

I cut the Absorber in half to make 2 bath towels. I never worry about it drying. I just wet it, wring it out, dry off. Wet it again, wring it out and put it back in a quart size ziplock bag. Mossey

Try this post for an equipment list. It’s a good start. Mossey

Good question. The outlet tester is just that, a simple and safe way to test outlet wiring. It will verify the outlet is wired correctly and indicate any faulty wiring with idiot lights. The newer models incorporate a push button GFCI function which does the same thing as the push button on the GFCI outlet by creating a ground fault condition at the push of the button. This action will trip the circuit at the the GFCI outlet between the fault and the breaker panel. It can only test 120V AC circuits. A multimeter is a much more sophisticated piece of test equipment that can provide useful information when testing and troubleshooting electrical problems. It can test both AC and DC circuits of varying voltages. An outlet tester is similar to the yellow idiot light on the dash which tells you to put gas in your vehicle. And a multimeter is like the gas gauge in that it tells you how much gas you actually have. Mossey

That looks like it might be the Xantrex Remote Display Panel in the picture. And I think you are right about the PD5000 Power Distribution Panel and the inability of the Xantrex XC series to supplement the AC load with inverted DC power. Mossey

Susan,

Check out the XC2000 manual, it has some XC3000 information. It’s my experience that Xantrex manuals have usually covered different capacity inverters in the same series. Mossey

Ray's signature indicates he has a 2020 LE2. Oliver university only has Xantrex manuals for the the XC2000 and XC3000 and the remote listed for the 2020 model LE2. The Progressive Dynamics PD9100/PD9200 PD5000 Series AC/DC distribution panel does not have a dedicated charger breaker as my 2017 PD4000 Series does. And the main breaker is 30 amp. The manual says the XC 2000 requires a 30 amp breaker and the XC3000 requires a 50 amp breaker. So my guess is that the the Xantrex equipment installed in Ray's LE2 is a XC2000 and the fact that it doesn’t have a dedicated breaker for the charger in the PD panel leads me to believe that the Xantrex XC2000 is also wired for charging the batteries. This would support the Jason's statement that the Xantrex should always be on. And I would add that it should always be on if you are charging the batteries or using a AC load such as the dehumidifier Ray mentioned. There is also a LBCO or low battery cut off setting from the Xantrex factory at 10.5v. Oliver may or may not have changed that setting. In conclusion, I believe the fluctuations in incoming AC power forced the inverter to supplement the incoming AC with battery power and ran the batteries down to the 10.5v LBCO setting which then shut of the inverter, creating the condition Ray first reported. I will also add my standard disclaimer: I have not read the entire XC2000 manual or looked at a 2020 LE2 wiring diagram, so I may be totally wrong, in which case I will say "Mea culpa”. Mossey

An electric Brat? Count me in! Mossey

Yes, it is neat and it might make hooking up an Ollie easier and cause some jaw dropping at the same time. Mossey
