Having a 50 amp plug with two legs gives you 110 volt 50 amp on each of the two hot legs, correct? Assuming you do not have any device in the RV that would require 220 volt, does it make a difference whether you have the outlet wired as 220 volt split phase or 110 volt? I guess you really are getting in both cases 100 amp at 110 volt? Could there be a difference in the sense what the load is on the Neutral? Would Neutral get 50 amps through it at 220 volt in the split phase scenario but would get 100 amps in the 110 volt (2 x 50 amps)? Might make a difference what wire size you need for Neutral?
You may have put this up 9 years ago but the information is still valid today, Sept 2024. Not knowing how the sensors looked or how they could be replaced turns out to be not rocket science :) My sensors were not clogged or caught up with debris, just mildly corroded - so I popped down to my local RV store and picked up the basic replacements they had at 3 bucks a pop. I just have a small 16' trailer (that was born in 2018) and never poop in the tank unless really really really necessary so no real need for the Horst sensors. So tanks a lot for the excellent video.
Thanks, turned on this tutorial to see how to use Fatwood,, the Black smoke looks hazardous ☢️ I am worried because I plan to use it indoors, is there a different wood that I can use
Great, clear articulation of switch types. Thank you for the content ! How would THREE Carling-type switches control ONE Load (light) ? i.e. turning on a Light from THREE locations. Would this be relatively easy to articulate without the need of a new vid ?
My Shurflow 4008 pump is 8 years old. It suddenly started to operate very slowly (electric motor goes very slow). I checked the voltage and its 12.95V. I bypassed the pressure switch and its still very slow. Any ideas out there as to what has happened?
I searched using your links and was directed to the Jackery 500 explorer, which is not exactly what you’re showing in your video, and it does not say anything about 1000w surge, in fact so far I haven’t found anything about surge watts when I searched using the link. Is the explorer the newer or older version of what you’re using in this video? Thanks so much.
When you say it gets more accurate overtime do you mean over the 33.33 day learning mode or just in general the longer you have it operating the more accurate it is? I’ve had mine a little over a month and it’s not totally accurate yet but it seems to be getting more accurate little by little. Since you had yours for many years you’re saying it’s more accurate cause of that?
I was just getting LF Jack and did the rehoming precedure and that fixed it. Not sure what caused the error as all wiring and connectors looked fine. Thank you Sir!
Your help was invaluable, we had the same problem but didn’t know what the problem was and feared the worst. Found your video and that was the problem. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
i am trying to figure out that same thing- we also just bought a class b 1999jayco van and being that everything is 25 years old we are replacing the fridge and we bought a bluetti ac180 with a 200w portable panel with the hopes of keeping the fridge running for about 3 days while replenishing the power with the panel during the day. i think this will be trial and error untill we get panals on the roof! but i really appreciate all the info in your video! thanks again
I think the 10 amp rating is a gimmick - like you said the wire is rated at least 20 amps and 240 volts so why would the inlet be rated for 10 amps and 14 volts? EDIT: I spoke with Lippert/Furrion and confirmed that the inlet is in fact rated for 10 amps at 240 volts. So the 12 awg wire may be rated at 20 amps but the 2 pins at the end of the wires are rated at 10A/240V. This is the design spec that should be used to determine how to connect this inlet to solar. Based upon this information, you can easily connect 4 100 watt panels in series through this port then to a solar controller which connects to the battery.
Liked & subscribed! Your calm, clear presentation style reminds me of one of the best teachers I ever had in school. And the diagrams & circuit examples really clarify what you are explaining. (I recommend that people having trouble following the video rewind to a diagram, study it & print it if necessary, then resume the video for the detailed explanation. Keep doing it until you understand it, then proceed to the next segment.)
