    I don't know if you have ever heard or seen one of these things , but I once used one.

    It is a funny little piece of metal or it could be made out of wood. But anyways the person that thought it up was pure genius .
    He put a bunch of numbers on it and some how you can compute measurements with it.

    Crazy HUH ?

    My 2007 Volvo with a tri-pac has always kept me cool, and I always sleep on the top bunk. Even in PHX at 120 outside so long as I'm parked away from the sun it is no problem (and I like it cool). If I was using the main engine I could park facing the sun and it wouldn't matter.

    Don't discount the value in a manual.

    Nope, not I.

    Thankfully, my out and back were not canceled and I'm sitting at the house enjoying a cold one. No plans tomorrow expect me and Mr webber grill have a little date. ....

    New shocks and bags are running nice. I noticed a slight improvement in ride quality, but not much. I need to do the sleeper shocks and bags next.

    My new fumoto drain valve appears to have a small leak at the threads so I tightened it a little more. I might switch back to the drain plug if it persists.

    Okay I'm going to get an inverter soon. I cracked my laptop screen and my sketchy plug in inverter doesn't like my new to me laptop. Plus I'd like to upgrade to a larger fridge and get a microwave.

    I'm heavily leaning towards the Xantrex, looks like it's under Schneider electric now. @Skate-Board Are you using the 1800 watt freedom? Does it like the rigmaster? Has anyone used one with a Honda/Yamaha Gen? I think @Cowpie1 might be but I'd have to search back through some threads. They are pricey, but when I finally get my rigmaster or red neck gen setup, the charging feature would be nice.

    Yup, the Xantrex 2,000 watt Freedom with 100 amp battery charger. Yes, it loves the Rigmaster. They hump each other every time it start up.

    I have two outputs from the Rigmaster. One to my 15,000 btu air conditioner and the other to the 110 input of the Xantrex. As soon as the Rigmaster starts up the Xantrex senses the shore power and switches over from battery power to shore power. When I get home I just plug into the house power. All automatic.

    The Xantrex is an automatic battery charger. You can leave it on for 20 years and it won't overcharge your batteries. It's smart and steps down as needed and shuts off. I run my Espar non stop when I get home in the winter and keep the cab around 65 for the week. My 110v fridge never shuts off either.
