I sure like your weather proof Anderson port way better than my plastic one. Can you share a cut sheet or purchase info for it? Is it weather proof on the back side as well? Thanks GJ

From a risk management perspective, the three way eventually will cause issues with an OOPS plug in. Why not just use one Zamp port labeled solar input, and a second one next to it labeled Power Port? No confusion that the switch may cause AND you could for the same cost have a solar input and load attached at the same time. Also "Wired straight to the batteries" is something to ponder upon. Suggest having an inline fuse on all inputs/outputs. Just for safety grins. GJ

Were you not happy with the Truma? Just wondering. GJ

And that's if you are only a flatlander. If you go up into real mountains, then I would suggest saying "Should never even come anywhere close to maxing out the capabilities of their rig.". It's always about having a significant margin of safety for your gear, loved ones, and others that may need to get involved.

Are you going with a disk brake version with electric over hydraulic? GJ

Our solar power port is similar to the Z-Amp one. I chose to mount it on the battery compartment door itself. Ran wires to the litho's and shunt with a fuse in line. Rationale is keeping the run as short as possible and not drilling another hole in the fiberglass wall of Ollie. GJ

Yep they do work on the spares. Researched and then called the MFG and they confirmed my faulty memory. Have re-written my above post accordingly. The transmitter sends a milli-second burst of the ID number, pressure and temperature data whenever there is air pressure from the tire to the monitor. It will be read on the monitor IF: It is within it's range Has a good battery AND it is not shielded from the monitor (Such as under the vehicle was for my Toyota Sequoia For my Sequoia the tire sensor was shielded well and did not work. I'll be re-installing the sensors on my spares this summer! GJ PS: For winter storage, recommend the Egg Carton storage suggestion with removal of the batteries from the sensors to protect from potential battery generated corrosion.

That's interesting. I'm running a 2018 EEZTire TPMS as well. I purchased six sensors plus a spare so i could monitor Ollie and 2 spare tires. I'll go find my info and advise why I pulled them off my spare tires. Will be good to know for sure. More to follow.... GJ

Nope. Most TP sensor systems are designed so that when the tire is sitting, the sensor shuts off. So you'll never know if it gets flat. Yep they do work on the spares. Researched and then called the MFG and they confirmed my faulty memory. The transmitter sends a milli-second burst of the ID number, pressure and temperature data when ever there is air pressure from the tire to the monitor. So long as the sensor has a good battery AND it is not shielded from the monitor (Such as under the vehicle was for my Toyota Sequoia and possibly my F-150).... it is sending that data. For my Sequoia the tire sensor was shielded well and did not work. I'll be re-installing the sensors on my spares this summer! GJ

Ditto. I highly agree as we all learn best by doing the task in ideal conditions. When it happens on the road they are able to do what they need to do safely and with confidence. I would also add giving them a learning experience with: Battery corrosion removal Oil change Windshield wiper replacements Engine air filter cleaning and change when needed Each was a great confidence builder for them, and results in far less worry for Dad when they head down the road. Even more grins for Dad was watching the next older train the next younger on the process. By the time my youngest (daughter) got to do them, she had watched it before and was on autopilot. Took Dad three days to lose the Perma-Grin. GJ

Mine is 4 years old and used often. Highly recommend it with a 5aH litho battery. Roger: Highly recommend you bring down your OE2 tire pressure to 50 or even less especially if running ALCONS. GJ

Use a wood toothpick and a bit of Tightbond glue in the hole. Don't over tighten it. Replace the other screw and they will match.

Thank you Bill for the miraculous recovery. The universal karma is again restored. Now that I'm back in the saddle..... In those conversations by chance did Mr. Weldon indicate that they have a more suitable spring solution that is in the 2,000 pound range? I suspect several owners would like to know this answer. If so, there would seem to be justification for ALCON to do the right thing via restitution to those early adopters. GJ

Would somebody please bring my horse back alive? GJ

All of a sudden, the Dexter 2400 pounders don't seem so radical after all. If proven to be the case, then maybe a rethink of running your tires at 40 or 50 PSI is in order. Likely maybe 28 PSI???? But the great news is that those ALCAN's are great springs and will certainly last ten life times. Maybe 100 life times! Steve, please tell us that your post was just a joke! Please. My condolences to those "early adopters". GJ
