I went through TWO Renogy 40 amp dc to dc chargers in less than 2 years. The first one lasted almost 10 months. When I bought the second one I also got an extended warranty. The second one failed almost one year later and I got my money back and bought a Litime 60 amp (much better build quality) and so far its been fine.

I've been debating, and I'm thinking of going to victron. There's no sense to replace it every year... I'm already out in the first purchase, and the 50a would be much more reliable. Not to mention, it connects bluetooth to the solar controllers and my phone.

I have the 40A version. It could be an issue with the trigger voltage that turns on the charger. Did you check you are getting voltage at the small terminals? It should be the terminal D+ on the side furthest from the output cables, you might be able to pull the green block off and check it that way.

@SuperBlobsterMan I'll check it out! But the green light is on, which gives the system the green light to turn on. Should be easy to check! It doesn't really pull power from the wire rather than just a signal to tell it to turn on

It’s exciting to see noticeable improvements in your recent content, and I’m thrilled to see your channel gaining more subscribers and views. Your effort to incorporate facial expressions in this video is fantastic! However, I feel the thumbnail could have been better balanced. A 60/40 ratio-40% for the facial expression and 60% for the content theme-might have worked more effectively. Wishing you continued success!

At many launches in north Florida you’ll see a memorial for the people , ,young and old , that have been killed by the jumping sturgeon living in these rivers as they cruise along in their boats. They sure are a big , beautiful and ancient fish and fit right in with the biggest of reptiles the alligators and relatives of elephants the manatee, all that make Florida’s rivers and lakes their home . And if you’re lucky you may even find a fossil tooth of another prehistoric monster that once inhabited these rivers , the mighty Megalodon ! 🦈

Including my first encounter with these giants! I could imagine the stories some of the old timers could tell us about their run ins with sturgeon!

Hello there buddy, my name is daniel and I just subscribed to your channel. Let me start out by saying.I'm very happy that you were able to get disability. I live in a small r, v, and i'm basically in the same situation that you are. I do have some sleep issues. But my biggest issue is that i've had two open heart surgeries, and i'm currently in heart failure, which i'm on medication for. I have been fighting for disability for over three years now and have been denied all three times. It's probably because I live in florida.And the laws may be different. Either way, it's just refreshing to see someone in my same situation receiving something monetarily. I also have fibromyalgia, enlarge joint arthritis.So I understand waking up in pain and paying for things that you have done the day before. Any advice on your disability journey for me would be greatly appreciated. I wish you all the best out there. My friend and I hope you enjoy. All that life has to offer.It's been a wonderful trip so far. I'm truly grateful for all that i'm able to do. I'm glad I came across your channel. Have a good day my friend.

Then I was approved. And it's a lifetime type. I'll always have it as a backup. I'm glad you were able to find my channel and see my journey, and I'm happy to share my experiences!

In Google Earth, looking down on a city or town, you can easily spot those areas of OLDER residential development by their more extensive tree canopy. In these older neighbourhoods, many homes were built without garages (because they were walking distance to everything at the time they were built), so they have boulevard parking instead. Scoot down to street level to see the vehicles actually parked there, and to check out parking regulation signage. This technique is particularly practical in the winter months, when you want to park UNDER something to cut off longwave radiation (heat) loss from the roof of your vehicle. This technique is not advised if you're hauling a trailer, or if you're in anything bigger than a regular passenger car.
