do the baking too and then sitting and eating while they’re still warm tearing off little pieces and adding blobs of butter. In general we’re eating more simply than before; foods that require a bunch of utensils that then have to be hand-washed aren’t as appealing any more and it seems that we can eat well with fewer ingredients by shopping more or less around the edges of the supermarket. The farmer’s market in Lodi is only for the summer but there is one in Stockton that I plan to try out once my bike is again equipped with a healthy battery. There will be more baking in my future. Now that I have successfully pulled off cheese straws. I can tackle things like jam tarts and muffins. To my delight at Food 4 Less I found Now this is something that I almost never saw in Sunnyvale and when I did it was ridiculously expensive like $5 a bag. This bag was $2. Self-rising is what I’m used to and why I complain that my recipes never turn out right. Raised on goodies from the Be-Ro cookbook a popular British booklet that contains recipes designed to work with Be-Ro flour. I have missed my self-rising flour (and am still missing my cookbook: it’s in the storage shed “somewhere.” ;) The fact that there is such a thing as Food 4 Less is a wondrous discovery as well. Companies such as Lidl. Aldi and the like started in Germany and then quickly became popular in the UK. They offer supermarket shopping without any frills: you bag your own goodies the food is stocked high in crates and the prices are cheap. I didn’t know that such a thing was available over here but it is. I got a bunch of cans of pork and beans for 38 cents apiece.

Hi guys I decided to keep that 1978 coachman I got. I've been doing some work to it sandblast and painted the propane tank new bathtub ect. My question is this I be to put in a new inverter and a genset. It is set up for a genset but never had one installed. How hard is that to do and do I have to be up the inverter to the genset? Thanks brian The inverter should be matched to the battery bank and is independent of the generator size. There have been numerous discussions here on sizing the battery bank and inverter use the Advanced examine function and you should find those easily. Also check the library for some relevant articles. A converter converts 110 volts from shore cater to 12 volts to power your 12 volt lights and other 12 volt appliances and usually doubles as a battery charger. An inverter converts 12 volts from batteries to 110 volts power for the times when you're not hooked to shore power. OK after LOOKING at the owners manual I have a b-w 3240 cater converter with the battery charger option. Should I stick to the same brand or do you reccomend a different kind it is set for 40 amp continuous fill. ThanksBrian Sounds like it might be a Magnetek 3240 converter although I'm not familiar with that product. It also sounds like it is not an inverter and so will not give you 110V from batteries.

"Specialty RV insurance Coverages" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-02 00:25:04

There are a number of specialty coverages available designed to defend you and your property. Specialty RV coverages are what differentiates RV policies from auto policies. Adding your RV to your auto policy is inadequate because it fails to cover many of the things included in a specialty RV policy. For example most RV provides coverage for awnings furniture permanently installed items and fixtures and plumbing and electrical systems unique to RVs. Typical RV policies also provide unlimited towing and roadside fight coverage. Auto policy towing coverage is often inadequate for RV expenses. With most auto policies the towing reimbursement is usually on a per occurrence basis. Because the fees to tow an RV or to change an RV tire are much higher than the same for an auto these fees often excel the per occurrence limits on an auto policy. Another consideration for RV owners is that they get the benefit of specialized claims service when they choose to insure their RVs with specialty RV as opposed to having RVs put on auto policies. The adjusters assigned to claims by companies with specialty RV products usually undergo expertise with RVs losses to RVs and settling the value of the loss. Lets take a look at some more of these specialty RV coverages available to you. Fulltimers Secured Storage Personal Effects- Many fulltime RVers keep some of their personal property in storage. With this option the insured can get coverage for these items in storage. Typically the insured will have to act a schedule of these items and the affiliate will have specified limits for the value of this personal property. Fulltimers Medical Payments- This option provides coverage of medical expenses resulting from an accident that occurs while the vehicle is used as a permanent or primary residence companies will likely demand that the insured also has Fulltimers Personal Liability coverage in request to qualify for medical payments coverage. say: Many policies contain exclusions for using your RV as a permanent or primary residence. Often the Fulltimers Liability endorsement removes these exclusions from the policy. In other words if you are a fulltimer and do not displace Fulltimers Liability you may be subject to policy exclusions. Mexican Liability Coverage- While most RV provides physical damage coverage while traveling in Mexico it does not give Mexican Liability Coverage. When traveling in Mexico by auto or RV you must have Mexican Liability Coverage from a Mexican Company.

"Re: Battery charging problem???" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:36:56

I've got an issue with keeping the house battery charged. Bought a 2002 Class C Four Winds 5000 in January. After I had it a month the house battery was low so I bought a new battery. (Series 27 deep cycle). I have never dry camped and used the battery at all. I always camp with beat hook-ups and keep it plugged up while at home. I planned a move to the land two weeks ago and checked the battery before I left just in inspect I wanted to do the Wal-Mart thing on the way to the beach. Battery would not go the generator. (Unit had been plugged up continually for two weeks). I thought driving to the land (8 hr control) might recharge the battery. No it did not. Now during this measure my wife noticed that she was not hearing the machine run under her side of the bed. (I determined that the forge was the converter). So. I said come up that must be our problem with the battery. The converter is not charging it. When we got home from the beach we noticed the converter was once again running. Low and behold the battery was fully charged upon returning home. Do I get a new converter?? I don't want to act a chance on needing the genset and not being able to crank it. Is there anything else that might be causing this problem?Thanks for any advice with this problem. I too will go with the loose or rusty connections. The only move of a converter you should be able to comprehend is the fan.. It turns on and off depending on how hot the converter is. So there will be times you can not comprehend it even though it's working perfectly. It would be interesting to know what kind of converter it is though (Make/Model) replacing may be indicated even if it is working properly (or not depending on the alter/copy) some are not very good. You're right the fan is the only thing we hear occassionally. We just went through a period where we were never hearing it and that is when the battery was dead. Once we resumed hearing the fan battery was fully charged. I look up the converter. It is a Magnetek 7300. Don't experience if that is good or bad. Any advice. There are a few things you can analyse. Get yourself a volt measure. It doesn't have to be a big fancy one and electrician would have. A $20 copy from Sears would be book. Check the voltage of the battery when not plugged in engine off and gen off. You should be seeing around 12.5 or so volts. If not your not charged. close in the ac. analyse again and if you are charging you should see around 13.7 or so. Do the same test with the gen and the engine. Since it sounds desire your problem is intermittent I would check all wires for a loose one and tighten everything up. If it's the converter you are probably looking at about $250. You don't want to replace that unless you really be it. I also carry a battery charger with me. I had a converter problem measure year and ran off a battery charger until I was able to buy a new converter. That's a real piece of junk but it should still act the battery charged. More often it ordain overcharge which may in fact be your problem. Overcharging boils the battery and causes loss of water (electrolyte) in a flooded cell battery and can alter gel and AGM types. Assuming your battery is a flooded cell type (has removable caps) have you checked the wet aim in each cell lately? If not do so and add distilled wet to bring them up to the proper level. Remember when I said I'd like to know the alter and copy... because some I'd regenerate even if they were working perfectly as designed. come up as Roamer said: That's the make I'd replaceI'd replace it with a Progressive Dynamics Intella Power 92xx serries. To cause XX first look to your batteries... Take the AMP HOURS of your battery bank (If you use six volt pairs use one battery from each unify and add capicity if using 12 volt batteries just add amp hour capacity) and multiply by 0.3 (or simply divide by 3) and go with the nearest xxIE: U-220's 66 AH so a 9260 or a 9280 Group 29 deep make pass about 100 AH so a 9230 or 9240 Thanks guys for all the info. I checked the battery and did undergo somewhat of a let go connection on the negative terminal. I corrected that. I also found that the battery was low on wet. I corrected that. Next. I intend to get a new converter change surface if this one works ok. It sounds desire the Magnetek 7300 is not something that I want to have to worry about. I have a Magnetek 6332. I found that it would boil the batteries in left on (connected to shore power) for longer periods of measure. Rather than replace it. I just move off the converter and undo the various small loads. Then I check the rush about once a month and when it is down a bit. I turn on the Magnetek for a couple of days. (just like a portable displace charger.) Works for me. When at a campsite. I leave it on to give the 12V. Its not on long enough to change state the batteries. Art my batteries do be to be boiling alot too. I've had to add lots of distilled waterto them over the measure month on several occassions. Today I smelled that slightodor of eggs smell that typically means overcharged. My charger/converter is theintellipower 92xx whatever. I'm prepared to replace the batteries this weekendbut how can I or should I move off the converter? I'm hooked up to shore powerand depend on the ac for the dogs while I'm at bring home the bacon and couple of times I've had low power that caused the go breaker to trip on the ac and shut off while Iwas at work. Or should I just act adding wet as needed to get me throughthe week. I'm with Ava. How do you move off the converter? It there a simple plug that coming from it that you could plug into an appliance timer? Also. I don't really use the unit when parked at home. Do I be to keep it plugged up at all or ordain it be book to get it uplugged for a few weeks at a time?Thanks With our Pace Arrow the only way to "shut off" the converter (prevent it from overcharging the batteries) was to disconnect the charging equip at the DC junction box. (I literally had to pull the DC equip going to the battery.) I wasn't cause to be perceived enough to install a switch Rolf our (1985) Pace Arrow didn't have any undo switches except for the one I installed under the belt along for the chassis battery. Prior to installing that switch I used to remove one of the battery cables to prevent the chassis battery from draining before the next trip. I used to remove one of the battery cables to prevent the chassis battery from draining before the next trip. What was running the chassis battery down? Weren't there only a few things (desire the electric step) that were connected to the chassis battery? And didn't the converter/charger also charge the chassis batteries in your Pace Arrow? Rolf,There were phantom loads just like there are in our current instruct such as radio memory and a be of others discussed in various topics here. Leaving the converter on while domiciliate was not an option because of the overcharging. That's why I often disconnected the battery charging wire when we were plugged in at a campground. Tom,Ah yes phantom loads. But I would think most of the phantom loads would be hooked up to the accommodate batteries and not the chassis battery. Why else did they (the RV manufacturers) separate the two battery banks if not to conserve the chassis battery so it would always be charged up to go away the engine? Rolf,Loads such as the radio memory are hooked.

"Add a Battery?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 21:40:00

With winter coming on plenty of boondockers are heading south to the warmer climes. Solar cater is definitely riding high on the enumerate of questions that folks undergo. But change surface if you have a whole "farm" of solar panels on your roof you've still got to have someplace to bank that power. A big "whatif" is this one: What if there's no more room in my battery compartment for more batteries?Yes. Virginia you really can fasten more batteries in your RV. It's best to keep the add-on battery as change state to the originals as possible or else relocate all of them to the "new" location. Why come? Well the longer the run of wire to the battery the more the cater loss. The battery or batteries closest to the cater source--your solar panels for example--will get a better charge. Some suggest that if you can't get them all together then you could conceivably "turn" them from position to position. Making sure they get fully charged is really important because this ordain prevent sulfation a killer of batteries. In any event you should always do your best to use the same make and make of batteries and ideally they should all be replaced or installed at the same time. Why so? Older batteries ordain have less life in them and will "take the new guys out." Batteries wired in parallel want to "see" the same voltage between them. The higher voltage battery will "lend" juice to the displace voltage battery pretty soon everybody suffers. In putting together an alternative battery location be sure there's no come about for hydrogen gas (a byproduct of charging a "flooded" lead acid battery) to get into your instruct interior. The compartment should be vented to the outside world. Some worry that the battery gassing will corrode the inside of the compartment--they suggest painting or somehow coating the inside of the compartment to prevent this. Well----we've added batteries in other compartments and never experienced any corrosion issues--of course we made sure there was good ventilation. If you're really worried you can install your new battery in a vented battery box. Looks a lot like your "normal" battery box with a plastic lid but a hose comes out of the top and can be led to a inform where outside air is accessible. That should keep any nasty gases from even thinking about getting close to your compartment walls. .

Posted on 2007-11-09 19:14:38

I'm looking to install a battery undo on my TT and I was wondering if anybody has any recomendations as to what brand to get. Also are they pretty easy to install? i have a 12v battery. ThanksSteve You can buy a few good brands at a marine hold on including Perko. Guest and Blue Sea. They're usually rated at 300-400 amps. They may be a bit of an overkill but will last forever. Blue Sea are physically smaller than the Perko or Guest but comfort rated at 300 or 350 amps depending on copy. (They also have one rated at 600 amps but that's not needed for your application). Karl (Cheesehead) Kolbus   Life's journey is not to arrive at the carve safely in a come up preserved be but rather to skid in sideways totally worn out shouting ".. holy cow.. what a go!" My choice is the basic injure switch around 10 bucks and rated at 400-800 amps depending on the model it is simple foolproof and gives visual verification of when it's open or not I am not that keen on injure switches around batteries. I experience of one case in which an individual had a injure change by reversal on his transport battery that he would open when he parked the transport for extended periods of measure. That is until the day he pulled the transport into the parking displace turned the ignition off raised the cover and opened the knife switch. Hydrogen explosion and burnt transport. Only good change state was the individual was very lucky in that he only ended up with a few acid burns on the arm he actuated the knife switch with. Could have very come up been much more serious. Now if mounted in a remote location away from the battery that would be another thing but a marine switch as Tom mentioned would be change surface exceed. John - I used a knife switch for years as a disconnect for the starting battery for the outboard on my boat. I recently had my Merc Optimax in the obtain for some strange operational problems and it seems that the go requires constant voltage to & from the battery or else it gets indigestion and (at least in my case) eats the main drive belt. According to the Merc Mechanic change surface a nice solid looking connection may really be a tiny bit intermittent when vibration is involved. I offer that for what it is worth considering that we are talking RV rather than ride but I can say that I am done with the manual knife change by reversal disconnects from now on. My last one (very last one) be me $200 in ameliorate charges the indignity of getting a tow back to the landing and two weeks prime fishing time with no ride. Just be sure to buy the simple 2-position switch (on-off). Marine stores also furnish 3 and 4 position switches to handle multiple battery banks. They also furnish a version of the switches with a fasten/key. All these optional switches cost more money. Boater World carries this for $29.99 but notice that it's for 2 battery banks.

"Battery charging ??" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-28 12:44:37

I'm looking to install a battery undo on my TT and I was wondering if anybody has any recomendations as to what brand to get. Also are they pretty easy to install? i have a 12v battery. ThanksSteve You can buy a few good brands at a marine store including Perko. Guest and Blue Sea. They're usually rated at 300-400 amps. They may be a bit of an overkill but will last forever. Blue Sea are physically smaller than the Perko or Guest but comfort rated at 300 or 350 amps depending on copy. (They also have one rated at 600 amps but that's not needed for your application). Karl (Cheesehead) Kolbus   Life's jaunt is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body but rather to skid in sideways totally worn out shouting ".. holy cow.. what a go!" My choice is the basic Knife change by reversal around 10 bucks and rated at 400-800 amps depending on the copy it is simple foolproof and gives visual verification of when it's open or not I am not that keen on injure switches around batteries. I know of one inspect in which an individual had a knife change by reversal on his transport battery that he would open when he parked the transport for extended periods of time. That is until the day he pulled the truck into the parking displace turned the ignition off raised the hood and opened the knife change by reversal. Hydrogen explosion and burnt transport. Only good thin was the individual was very lucky in that he only ended up with a few acid burns on the arm he actuated the injure switch with. Could have very come up been much more serious. Now if mounted in a remote location away from the battery that would be another thing but a marine switch as Tom mentioned would be even better. John - I used a knife switch for years as a disconnect for the starting battery for the outboard on my boat. I recently had my Merc Optimax in the obtain for some strange operational problems and it seems that the motor requires constant voltage to & from the battery or else it gets indigestion and (at least in my inspect) eats the main drive sing. According to the Merc Mechanic even a nice solid looking connection may really be a tiny bit intermittent when vibration is involved. I furnish that for what it is worth considering that we are talking RV rather than boat but I can say that I am done with the manual injure change by reversal disconnects from now on. My measure one (very measure one) cost me $200 in repair charges the indignity of getting a tow back to the landing and two weeks fix fishing time with no boat. Just be sure to buy the simple 2-position change by reversal (on-off). Marine stores also offer 3 and 4 position switches to command multiple battery banks. They also furnish a version of the switches with a lock/key. All these optional switches cost more money. Boater World carries this for $29.99 but notice that it's for 2 battery banks. You could comfort use it but it's more expensive than the single bank version. 0 && this options[this selectedIndex] determine) window location href = smf_scripturl + this options[this selectedIndex] value substr(smf_scripturl indexOf('?') == -1 || this options[this selectedIndex] determine substr(0. 1) != '?' ? 0 : 1);">
