Does it do this if the inverter is turned off?

I am trying to understand the purpose, functions and operation of my inverter. I am going to go real slow and try to build up a better understanding with your help. This is all Greek to me, and know nothing. First Statement - The inverter/charger converts DC power from the battery to AC power for trailer use. Second Statement - The inverter/charger charges the battery from either shore power or solar panel power. Are both of those statements true?

I am a belt and suspenders guy so I think I will get one. No special hurry but I would value knowing what brand you have. I am looking at this one. https://www.progressiveindustries.net/ems-pt30x

Thank you. The User Manual confirms what you said. SURGE PROTECTOR Your travel trailer is equipped with a Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C (electrical management system) surge protector. The surge protector is designed to protect the trailer’s electrical system that is connected on the output side of the surge protector. The shore power connection, cord to the surge protector, and transfer switch (if equipped with optional second shore power connection) are not protected by the onboard surge protector. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/wp-content/uploads/oliver-university/2023/2023 OTT Owners Manual E2 Web.pdf

Should I use an external surge protector with my 2023 E II? I searched the forum and could not find a definitive answer.

I would have thought the first dealer would have been more than 300 miles from Hohenwald

Is there an internal fuse in the Xantrex Freedom XC PRO 3000 Question?

Welcome

You know we all wish you the best. Do come back and share with us about your travels. We expect to hit Italy, France, Spain, UK, etc. someday ourselves. I'll consider you our expeditionary mission.

I love DuPont and that whole area.

I second CSP. Loved it there. The breakfast buffet at the lodge was great In the park up from where we camped in the mountainous Black Hills of South Dakota https://blackhillsvisitor.com/learn/the-summer-white-house-of-1927/ We were sitting on the grand front porch late one afternoon enjoying the company of new friends and a young girl handed me her camera and asked me to take her picture. I looked over at one of the fellows sitting next to me and laughed. He was a world famous photographer.

I had the same question. Sounds like a good idea for a factory change

First, Congrats Second, Welcome Your story sounds a lot like ours

Can you let us in on the joke?

I wish Phil all the luck and success, but I hate to see him go. It is a great loss to all of us.

That looks great.

Great thread. I am new to all this and am very interested in hearing veteran stories.

It is a ritual. I go slow. I have learned exactly when to remove the heat. It makes two perfect cups, or at least to perfect as I have come to coffee. I have a friend with some fancy $1,000 rig that makes the best coffee I have had. I can't commit to something like that even at home. Our home pot makes good coffee, but the Moka pot is mo' betta.

We love coffee and we love our Oliver coffee. I know you said you did not want one of these but we love ours.

Thank you. Are they far enough along to announce prices?

So is my FLSTC

I just ordered that. I suspect NG and RM are both good, but I picked the NG.

I had not heard of Benchmark Atlas before. I looked them up on Amazon. I expect they would be good, but at $25 a state that could add up. What makes them so expensive?

I keep stuff for a long time.

Which is best?
