  1. After recharging, everything seems to be back to normal. No worries. 😎 I think I have learned: "the batteries need to be fully charged twice a month to allow the monitor to sync".
  2. I just watched Victron's video for the BMV-712. It says the batteries need to be fully charged twice a month to allow the monitor to sync. So, I guess I just charge the things and hope it clears up ðŸĪŠ
  3. FWIW, the LI3 Battery app reports each of the batteries at 24% now.
  4. I have 2 lithionics 320Ah batteries with solar. They were allowed to sit in the shade for about 2 months. When I returned today, the batteries were so low the fan for the composting toilet was not running. That's what I expected. But I'm surprised to see my VictronConnect app report the batteries at 100%. I tried resetting the BMV controller (press setup and select at same time for 3 seconds), but that doesn't seem to do anything. I'm currently recharging the batteries slowly (solar + household current). Any thoughts?
  5. @Sully We are planning to visit Newfoundland in about a year (sometime late aug to early oct) @rich.dev was nice enough to refer me to this thread, which I read immediately. Great pictures! And I especially appreciate the campground descriptions in the last post.
  6. We are just starting to brainstorm our trip up north for about a year from now. So, no hurry. 😂 But would anyone care to share experience/advice? We are looking at taking the Trans-Canada Hwy ferry to Channel-Port aux Basques. Dates are still very flexible (late August through mid October). But we're thinking of spending about 2-3 weeks on the island....and taking every day-hike we can find (Gros Morne looks amazing!). Of course, we also have to drive the round trip from Tampa. ðŸĪŠ So if you have ideas for that part of the trip, that would be great, too. Anything north/east of Maine will be completely new for us. ðŸ˜ē
  7. We live in Tampa. Minor wind damage at the homestead. Power back on in our neighborhood, but many others still out. Our kids, who live nearby, are bunking with us for the AC. 😎 Ollie lives in a covered, outdoor storage facility in nearby Plant City. We visited him yesterday. All appears to be well,even though many nearby neighborhoods got hit VERY hard. Some are still underwater. We are very grateful to all the emergency crews from around the country who have come to visit. (I met a crew from Nova Scotia at WalMart yesterday!) It does my heart good to see their solidarity, expertise and preparedness.
  8. My current itinerary has a question mark on that day. 😀 We will probably just drive till we are tired, then find a place to boondock.
  9. We have been talking about this! It's really encouraging to hear you say you've done it. (Gives me some assurance that I'm not completely insane )
  10. We are working on that. Most of it is still unreservable and I have the dates they open flagged on my calendar!
  11. Thanks for the tip. I hope you love your Ollie as much as we do. And my wife LOVES her massages. 😀 P.S. We are hoping to make it to Montana in the fall of 25. I'll create another thread for that and you can tell me everything I don't know 😛
  12. Does anyone have insight into the "tent caterpillar" season in these parks? When is it? How "bad" is it?
  13. The fixed part of the itinerary is GC followed by Zion. We had a couple of extra days, and I thought Sand Hollow would be a nice pit stop in between. We intend to use it as a base camp and find nearby day hiking. We also probably want full hookups for those 2 days (at least electric and water), because we want to be fully prepared for the next campground, which is inside Zion NP (with just electric, no water). Any specific suggestions that more or less fit that bill? TYVM!
