Mike, very good setup! I have most of that equipment installed in my 5th wheel now. I want to get a Raspberry Pi and it looks as if I can buy one. The current version is Pi 5. I've wanted to learn about the Raspberry for quite some time so why not now. I would sure like to pick your brain to help me get started.

How did you use a raspberry pi as the cerbo?

@MikeJordanUnCamplicated 11 күн бұрын

I have a video made for my second Pi install. But need to edit it. If you can't wait, I learned my first install from Off Grid Garage on YT. He has 2 vids. Find the latest. It is a easier method. My vid will be a little easier still.

@@MikeJordanUnCamplicated I don’t even need it 24/7. I’m in Baton Rouge and the solar generator is just going to be a backup for my gas generator during hurricane season when I lose power. I learned the hard way to conserve gas, lol. I’m basically going to run the fridge and freezer with it during the day when I’m at work and run the gas generator for larger things like window AC at night.

You've helped us with the latter. Thanks again! I'll go to the link.😉

Your math is off a bit. 8oz is ONE cup. So you have 10 cups of 8 oz or 80oz of Pine Sol, and your dash measure lines are 2 cups each. HOWEVER, I'm an "if one is good, two is better" kind of guy and when it comes to RV tank stink, I'm thinking your recipe is still right on!! My recipe is a 48oz bottle of Pine Sol, a cup of bath beads, and rest is water (approx 80 oz water), but I've just started using this recipe. But thanks for the spice video! 😉

@MikeJordanUnCamplicated 3 ай бұрын

It is often called a suicide cord 😳because it has 2 male ends. So if you are dumb and plug it into a power source, then touch the other end, you are going to have a bad day. If you stop and think every time you use it, there is no issue. But because of the electrocution possibility, you can not buy the cord. That is a DIY cord. I bought the wire and plugs to fit my gen and dryer plug separately, and put them together myself

Is the base of the trailer is (W)40"x(L)48"? If the width of the width of the trailer is 40" and you have the rack bolted on that width, what is the width at the top of your rack when you turn it around? reason being is I have a trailer and for the top of the rack I have to have at least 71'' for a kayak and a cargo box for both of them to fit. when I bought it, it came with a top rack but I need to replace it because it's not very sturdy and the ladder rack would be good.

Yes, the sensors go on the bottom of the tank. I am putting them on the bottom of my RV tanks in this video. Those tanks are in a "cabinet" that is open on the bottom. Watch the beginning of the video where I show the cabinet, and then go under the RV. I did not change the battery on my Blackstone tank in this vid, as it wasn't dead yet. But for those tanks you just turn the tank on its side, to install the sensor on the bottom

Some inverters use a different output scheme and this is why the ground test may read weird. Many inverters use live neutral. Some even are 2 60 output circuits and out of phase. Then your load connects them in series to form 120V. This is especially common on modified sine wave and non-isolated units without a hard wire options.
