    With all due respect.. 3 times and you're out. It is time to get some professional to examine your hookup before you have MAJOR trouble. Like a fire burning the truck to the frame.. And it happen a long way from home. Man just think of the Uber cost.. Serious now. Sumpin is bad wrong..

    Not as strange as me... Young, (20) off to FL for fruit to Minneapolis, then on to Grand Forks for spuds. Had not been that far up and in winter.
    Been hauling cattle. Prior flatbed.
    Loaded in Lakeland, up to Starkville, MS - (Home Office) to get jump off instructions, fill cheap gas, expense $, etc. Had chatted with ole\pro
    drivers in FL and had LEARNED about the ice and snow in MN/ND. Just knew I would need chains.
    So, I grab the wash rack, tire man. Do we have any chains? Yeah, somewhere...Get a set and hang on my trailer while I go in the office.
    He did and I went. Stopped in Clear Lake at our cattle haul to Waterloo good truck stop. Walked around and observed the trailer splash back
    had encased my chains on the ICC bumper its width in an 8 inch tube of ice. Did not need/use them that trip. Never carried them again.
    Closest need was at Grants Pass, OR with Beneke, only 4 inches of packed snow near top both sides. Returning from Seattle, all had melted.

    Not with my wife. When she is asleep, she is sawing logs. I swear one of these days we will lose walls with her snoring

    I’m not convinced there’s a problem. The 3 that blew were questionable. 2 weee displays and sat in Truck for 10 yrs or longer. The 3rd from a questionable seller. There’s a lot of bad reviews on the Roadpro Power inverters. Smoking out first time used seems to be pretty common. My installation meets or beats all the installation requirements. One more time, Lol This time with a better inverter. A pure sine type. supposed to be better for electronics like TV, Laptop, and battery chargers for tools. Still not sure if water from coffee maker didn’t short it out. May be the case, since I mounted them vertically, when horizontally is suggested for that reason.
