Thanks. Good information. I had been to the TA in Rogers before. I've also been to the Holiday MegaStop 15 miles or so south of town, just below where 35W and 35E come back together. It's at exit 81, 210th Street exit, in Lakeville, MN. Plenty of big truck parking. A McD next door, Subway and...

RE: CONFUSED!! E-Track on floor E-track ratchet straps: Two yellow Two gray Two blue Load bars: Two 2x4 (one with E-track attached) One 2x6 (with E-Track attached) Three pairs of wood beam sockets One ratchet jack bar (modified to fit the Sprinter) Blankets Never had a load move on me...

RE: CONFUSED!! Thanks. That's how I secure them, too. One and two drums isn't a problem, and usually 4 isn't that big a deal, either. It's that odd third drum that is a PITA. I was just wondering if there was a better way to secure them. Fortunately, though, in his customary stellar fashion...

RE: CONFUSED!! Thanks for the advice. It was very helpful.

I'd give the thong a try, but I can't thing very well. (somebody will get that, and laaaffff). Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop Moth: The green thtuff, found on the north thide of treeths.

RE: CONFUSED!! I know some guys driving cargo vans who could use a course in basic securement. You know, those drivers with no decking, no e-track, just a bungy cord or two. For that matter, me. The one I still haven't mastered is three drums just sitting there on a skid, not secured to each...

>How long will a pair of deep cell batteries last running an >airconditioner like that? Kinda depends on the total amp hours of the deep cycle batteries. :) If it's a 525 watt air conditioner, which is a 120-volt unit, probably not very long, regardless of the amp hours of the batteries. 525...

I couldn't run for governor, 'cause I live in Kentucky and I'm not corrupt enough. :) I live really close to Kentucky Dam, and see first hand the benefits of the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) lock and dam system, and know how it was all accomplished. A part of the New Deal, it was the...

My pleasure. :) The manual for that monitor is a really good one, and for those interested in deep cycle batteries, it's a good read even if you don't have or want the monitor itself. I feel like Scotty, recommending technical manuals for casual reading. :D Slow and steady, even in...

I got my 3000 watt pure sine wave inverter from them. Works great. Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

I'm not familiar enough with the shops in your area, but almost anyone who works on cars and knows electronics can do it. A Dodge dealer or any repair shop, for example, will have at least one tech that knows electronics, and will be able to install an aux battery and isolator with one eye tied...

RE: Dot in White Glove is NOT Leaving FedEx Custom Dot does the Polka, film at eleven.

Nationwide, only 2.4 percent of all Interstate crashes are cross-median crashes, yet that scant 2.4 percent accounts for a whopping 32.7 percent of all highway fatalities. From 1999 to 2000, 94 people in South Carolina lost their lives in 57 separate interstate crossover median crashes. From...

I think that these bridges should be upgraded or replaced in the same way that many of them were built, as part of a massive public works project. Tell people if they want Welfare, they have to build a bridge to earn it. :) Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

Yup. Here... http://www.upscaleauto.com/window_insulation.htm and here... http://secure.mycart.net/catalogs/catalog.asp?prodid=4757859&showprevnext=1 Same thing, either place. They're custom, stick on with suction cups, quick and easy to put up, quick easy to take down, and they're...

First, use a real battery isolator (Sure Power, Hellroaring, etc.), and not a simple solenoid switch. Not sure about currently, but Espar used to use a simple solenoid, so you may want to check with them on that. A real isolator is much, much better. A simple solenoid connects the starter and...

It was a guess, but the scenario I described is very common one. It's so common that I had about a 90% chance of nailing it. There's an old saying in the deep cycle battery world: "Deep cycle batteries don't die, their owners kill them." Most people do not understand deep cycle batteries. Why...

How often do bridges just up and collapse? Even the ones which are inspected and found to be "structurally deficient" as was the case in Minnesota? Not very often. It's not like we have a bridge-collapse epidemic on our hands, where every week there's another one dropping into the river. The...

Could be a short, bad ground, bad cables, cables that are too thin, corroded connectors, some phantom no-load draw, whatever, but, generally speaking, when multiple batteries go bad at the same time and are unable to hold a charge under a controlled load test, the cause is severe sulfation...
