MAX Burner

It's all yours, Bill -- I'll bring it to the rally.

No need to feel so sad, John! Our 30A Victrons do the job, IMO, for their intended use. On our typical move between locations we target 4 to 5hrs (MAX) road time -- leaving in the mid-morning with, say, a 70% SOC, by the time we're stopped for the day, we're right at 100% in our 300A-Hr Battleborns. The 4/0 cables you and I used for our applications handle the current perfectly. Still thinking we've both got the right 12/12 charger solution for our style of RV'ing (but, there is a bit of "Amp - envy" going on over here!). Now, that said, if our rigs had the larger lithium AHr storage like @jd1923 JD has, the 50A charger would be warranted, concur?

Same here - we try to go 18 hours before "break-fast" happens...

We removed ours a couple years back - mainly because it was badly oxidized and looked like crap. We bought a replacement strip, but never saw the need to install it - Casablanca doesn't see the light of day unless behind the Tundra rolling to the next OTT adventure. That said, anyone interested in a new awning strip can have ours for the cost of shipping... Just say'n.

About the same here in north central NM - 26.7F, ATM. We'll be stoking up the wood burning stove in the "Cave" this morning to work on Casablanca as our highs are expected in the high forties, FYI.

D and I got into RV'ing after many years of backcountry skiing and backpacking. A pop-up tent trailer, 2 AS's, a Casita, and an OTT later - we are definitely a strong team. We do everything together (even Costco runs!)... HA!

We also had a great experience with RVLock last year when we replaced the keypad with the upgraded version (the numbers were peeling off on the original pad). After commenting this story to the RVLock folks manning their booth at the RV show in Quartzite last month - I was awarded with a huge swag bag of cool stuff! A great and responsive company, RVLock.

Same here. We use our FWT exclusively for our water needs, as mentioned in other threads. Filling at home with a known pedigree of our (delicious) well water is standard practice for us. Granted, D still filters the well water through a Travel Berkey, but she does the same thing at home with the Big Berkey -- works out fine for our style of camping, FYI.

Looks like the ceramic filters range in what they can remove, such as Florine. In any case, ours seems to be doing the job, FYI...

Same here. We use 550# paracord lanyards on our milk crates that live in the "garage."

We love Flag when there's no snow piled up.... MartAnn's is our fav spot for brunch/lunch, FYI. Best to Lew and Mike when you see them. I'm thinking @Mountainman198 Lance and Casablanca were a couple of Alcan's first OTT customers last year.... Stay safe, brother! See y'all down the road...

@Mike and Carol - Hey, Mike: Just now saw this... We haven't tried the new ceramic Berkey filters, should we? We're currently using 4x activated charcoal types with a couple spares under D's dinette seat.

@Steph and Dud B I'm getting one!

100% concur, @Geronimo John, John! We've got the disk brake upgrade on our radar and will likely drop the hammer on them when our current 12" drums need replacement...FYI

@EurekaJ - Hey, Jay! Welcome to the Oliver Family... We look forward to seeing pix of your future OTT adventures. Thank you for your service to our Great country!

@Galileo - Hey, Val! @ScubaRx Steve and Tali are owners that have upgraded to disc brakes. There are others, too. The newer Dexter "Never-Lube" axles are configured with sealed bearing "cassettes" - I believe they're only available with the 5.2k# axles (I may be wrong here). One still needs to inspect them annually, however. Last time I checked, the disc brake upgrade was definitely only available with the heavier axles and not for the 3.5k# axles. The disc upgrade is on our radar screen but not until our 12" drum brakes need replacement, FYI.

Same here. It get's used fairly frequently on trips...

Nice looking piece of kit, for sure. Definitely not a cheap date!

...coming in late on this thread. It's very encouraging seeing that many owners have now installed (or will be installing) DC/DC chargers. @jd1923 - especially interested in the performance of the 50A version! I'm sure y'all know, there's a soft setting in the Victron app that toggles the TV engine off/on sensor. The default is in the sensor "ON" position, as I recall. This keeps the system from discharging the TV battery when the charger circuit is connected to the OTT with the TV engine not running. I'll try to get some shots of the Victron app from the TV when fully connected and engine running. I nominally read about 27Amps, FYI. @johnwen - glad to see you're up and running, brother! Best to Wendy! Charge on, men!

Hey, Bill @topgun2 - but what about this "Sparky Spot" in Hatch, NM? Arguably one of the best places for an authentic green chili cheeseburger on the planet.... HA!

@Happy Feat - Congrats on your new "FEAT" -- and a hearty, "WELCOME ABOARD" from Casablanca, HULL #226 in North Central NM! Now get out there and post some cool threads on your upcoming adventures....

@SolitaryPine -- Welcome aboard, Paul! Greetings from Hull #226, Casablanca - we're just a few hours south of y'all on I-25 in North Central NM....

@Jay T. Norcross - Greetings, Jay and welcome to the OTT Family... As an admitted "stalker for years" you'll already know how useful these forums are for challenges you may experience and how much exceptional camaraderie they provide. Welcome Aboard, from Casablanca HULL #226!

Hey @Steve Morris; Steve We found the same issue - even though our LGSP Rez starts on SUN 27APR.... should be no biggie. Looking forward to linking uo again this year, brother! Safe travels!

Hey, @Patriot - greetings from Sint Maarten, West Indies.... This was my dive plan yesterday - finding this shipwreck: Can you make out the ship's STBD prop? HA! GX010998.MP4
