    12 Days of Gift Giving for RVers!

    That is one reason Bill liked this box - he has rarely used the locks. He did have something fall and jammed it shut once and he had to drill out the rivets, remove the fallen item (a hammer) and then replace it. Now he is just very aware of where he places things so nothing can fall and it...

    battery question for boondook/solar users

    We only have one MPPT charge controller on the solar system. Also, we have one common battery bank for the RV. We do have two inverters, a 1000watt for the fridge, and a 2800 watt for everything else. Each has their own automatic transfer switch.
