  1. Just curious, what's your SOC when you're reading 11-15amps? Your 50amp Victron charger may only allow lower charging amp at higher SOCs. FYI, we're getting 25-28amps with SOCs below 70% on the road. As the SOC increases we're seeing 10-15amps (our's is a 30amp charger unit).
  2. We're definitely considering the Lynx PD unit as well for when we drop the hammer on upgrading to the MPII - its a very clean option as compared to our Blue Seas bus bar, IMO.
  3. @jdmmtx ; If you're still in need of replacement leaf springs, you're welcome to have my OEM 4-leaf springs - no longer needed because we replaced them last April using the Alcan 5-leaf spring packs that @Steph and Dud B mentioned above. Shoot me a PM with a shipping address and cover the shipping costs... You can have 1 or all 4 of the springs. They are in serviceable condition. Cheers, Art
  4. @rideadeuce - Hey, Mike - are those a couple of airedales you have there? I used to have a female that looked just like them! You're right @jd1923, the DC/DC charger really makes the battery package work for us, BTW. Gone are the days of having our AS with 4 heavy AGMs!
  5. Not sure what Jason's comments meant regarding new Dexter axles not fitting on @Wayfinder's hull....??? @ScubaRx's hull #050, as well as our #226 retro-fitted the D52's w/12" drums and Alcan 5-leaf spring packs - both are config'd with the EZ-Flex system. We'll be interested in hearing the back story....
  6. Our 3 x BB's are a perfect AH storage capacity for our style of camping/boondocking, FYI. But when it comes to AH's, "MO is BETTA", IMO. Frankly, I don't know what I'd do with another 300AHs! Keep the AC running for the Knuckleheads when we're away, I suppose! HA!
  7. The MaxxFan Plus with the LED light really makes for a superior lighting configuration in the head with the factory OTT LED lighting package, FYI. Should be another standard module from the Mothership, IMO.
  8. Same here, Mike.... love the "auto" mode on just about anything - so long as it works correctly. HA!
  9. FYI: D and I have reserved site #81 for the mini-rally; looking forward to meeting everyone! Cheers!
  10. Awesome looking rig - inside and out! Thanks for posting some great pix of your new set-up... Now get out there on the road and send more - we love pix on the forums! Hope to meet y'all down the road sometime. Congrats!
  11. @Boudicca908: While you've got the cubby insert removed and have inspected that "great space" under the sink - try considering replacing the insert with one of these and adding a shelf to store toiletries and stuff: Gives you ready access to all that great space below the vanity sink... Just say'n... Cheers!
  12. If you're planning to stay at "Camp Oliver" just outside the perimeter fence at the factory, site #3 is a good one if available.... Enjoy your time there - be sure to get some "swag." Mid-MAY at the factory:
  13. @ZLarryb - if you still are not able to get grease into some of your wet bolts after trying @Ronbrink's suggestions, you may wish to consider removing those wet bolts that aren't behaving and check for correct grease journal orientation: 1. Carefully jack up the affected side 2. Use a floor jack under the closest axle to adjust its height to completely neutralize the load on the affected wet bolt 3. Stabilized the Zerk end of the wet bolt with a wrench and remove its nut. It's important to stabilize the wet bolt so its splines (on the Zerk end) do not strip-out in the hanger when you're un-tightening it. The splines are intended to keep the wet bolt in place such that the grease journal remains oriented either at the 3 or 9 o'clock position - this is the position of slightly less pressure which allows the grease to flow easier when trailer weight is on the wheels. 4. Tap the wet bolt partially out of the hanger with a brass punch - as the bolt slides out a bit more than half-way from the leaf spring hanger, look for the grease journal at the mid-point of the we bolt. It's a small hole allowing the grease to lubricate the brass (sometimes plastic) leaf spring bushing. Attach your LockNLube and give it a squirt - this will test the Zerk and remove old grease from the wet bolt. 5. Rotate the bolt until it's oriented at the 3 or 9 o'clock position. Clean the Zerk end of the bolt and mark it with white paint in line with the hole. This way you'll know during future lube jobs that the grease journal is oriented correctly or if the wet bolt rotated after you've corrected the issue. 6. Carefully tap the wet bolt back into place, stabilize the Zerk end and torque to specs (45 - 50 lb-feet) 7. Grease the Zerk Hope this helps.
  14. @jd1923 - We absolutely count on at least one feast daily; if there's others around we'll do an AM and PM food fest! HA!
