Elliott, you need to take your A/C off the breaker stack that your inverter is powering. It (and the water heater) should be on a breaker that is ONLY energized via shore power. Startup spikes for the AC unit is what is popping your fuses. As soon as shore power is cut, the inverter starts inverting and the AC yanks too many amps. (I know this was six months ago. I hope you have fixed it by now)

The Zebra mussels have been a real challenge in the Great Lakes and Ontario cottage country, they hurt so much if you step on them in the water!!! But they are filter feeders so they have cleaned the lakes til they are crystal clear. Nice benefit, but still yucky that they are here. Waving hello from the 1000 islands region. Love your series, thank you for all the videos

[@wombatwilly1002]

Funny to see you pass the Glen Ross bridge..:) In my area.Hope you enjoyed the area.

[@mikepech6822]

You guys make me go back to my younger days. Like I said , the Trent and Georgian Bay was my haven. I have seen all you have seen in the USA, but from a truck. I love your videos and remind me of my youth. Everything you do is done with common sense and you have the knack of making it interesting as hell. No none of this we're great and look what we did. No bullshit and is either fact or good clean fun. New boaters can take alot of lessons and advice from your videos. I know I've complimented on your past videos, so here is another one. So thumbs up and stay safe.

[@johnduffy532]

Welcome back to the land of the living! We missed you guys. We understand you were working through music copyright issues. Glad all is well!

[@scotthall3816]

I love 😘 Canada its so beautiful 😍❤️

[@joyceschulke4903]

We finished our loop on Christmas Day in Jacksonville. We traveled thru Lake Erie and did not go through Canada. Watching your trip through the Trent Seven is encouraging us to go that way on our second loop which will be done on our trailerable C-Dory 25 in sections. You are the only Loop KZbin we still follow. Keep up the good work. Tom and Joyce previously on the MV Redemption.

[@waffles1ca]

I’m grateful to have found your video travel log, you are wonderful people, glad you enjoyed your Canadian portion of the loop.

[@andykober2283]

Glad to have you back. Was beginning to worry the Mounties had you. 🤣

[@ncwomanparker1708]

I found you guys about 3 weeks ago, and I've been binge watching ever since. ( your loop series). Can't wait to see what's next.

[@stevengilbert6672]

Steveinsawlog here. I am so enjoying your trip up the Trent-Severn waterway and can't wait until you break through into Georgian Bay at Port Severn and enter the 30,000 islands. I will watch closely to see when you pass my place and will let you know when I see it.

[@12FlyVA]

I have been going thru withdrawal. Thanks for posting a new video. Great as always. Keep em coming.

[@petebates849]

Looking good I will get caught up on your vidgood luck with the loop very excited tiwe are on to our next adventure have already done the loop

[@SchoandJo]

Awesome, congrats on being Gold!

[@robcordts1976]

I hope you guys make a book with all the locks and over night contacts and phone numbers. I would totally buy it. Great videos can't wait till I'm able to do my loop adventure.

[@portfoliofotoz]

Your line handling communication conventions are outstanding! Based on them, we are going to have am on-board tutorial this spring! BUT! For goodness sake, plumb your coolant into your water heater so you NEVER have to heat your water from your inverter.

[@ldirk58601]

Oh Im so happy you're back to posting!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That lock was HUGE! So awesome to see y'all crushing them!

[@andrewwylie2117]

Wait till you see the triple locks coming up next! It’s where our trailer resort is

[@jimyoung1734]

Hello from the Youngs. Good to see you back up again. I was going to say where where we ran into you guys on the LOOP but I didn’t know if that was cool since you haven’t posted that section yet. Your channel is awesome. Enjoy your positivity. Maybe we’ll run into each other again this winter! Jim and Rebecca

[@nelson3406]

Great to see you back in action. Enjoying your summertime Canadian cruise and curious about the upcoming wintertime river experiences.

[@richardneely595]

I love all you both share :) Thank you both. I really enjoy watching all you share . Be safe and enjoy:)

[@EdEdelenbos]

Welcome back. I can't believe how pro level you do those locks. I'm taking mental notes.

Great to see u guys back with the video keep them coming

[@philboyer2036]

Been waiting for this next video, thank you. I stayed at Glen Ross twice and it is a nice quiet spot with a little variety store with great ice cream. Can't wait for the next in the series.

[@suzanneaydelotte801]

Great video! You all sure have mastered the locks…you look like pros! Kona was barking at Ollie when I was watching! Silly Kona. 😂 Oh by the way…your Ramen looked DELICIOUS! 🤤😋

Great episode! Glad for the update.

Looking forward to the next video to see a deep dive of that little town.

[@harmonyacres0351]

As a marine surveyor, I've never seen a marine A/C unit powered by an on board inverter. A/C is typically powered by shore power or a generator. Plugged in at the dock, with the inverter on is pulling too much and asking too much of the batteries or back-feeding, tripping the dock pedestal. When you plug in, turn the inverter to 'Charging' mode, or turn the unit off entirely at the charger panel and and at the rotary. Don't over-fuse; the tripping is for a reason that needs fixing. You guys are fun to watch, thank you.

[@svechappe6075]

Agree, unless you have a sizable bank of lithium batteries, I've not seen where air conditioning is set up to run off the inverter. Perhaps running the inverter/charger with air conditioning may be pushing the limit of the 30A available at the shore pedestal, especially if they have any other ancillary loads. I wonder if they have just one shore power inlet or two. Typically boats fitted with air conditioning, especially if they have two A/C units (don't know if they have one or two), would have a second shore power inlet with a second 30A distribution panel on the boat. They would then use two 30A shore cords to fully serve the loads on the boat. We have three A/C units, so we're set up with a 50A panel and a 30A panel and corresponding shore power inlets. We then carry a variety of shore cords and adapters so we can adapt to a variety of shore power pedestals, especially when in the canals.

[@waynegilbert7535]

Doohers posted your latest video today. It was great but I had to backtrack to this to see if my house might have been in this one. No luck. We're at the exit of the canal leaving Frankford. Looking forward to watching more

[@SchoandJo]

Oh shoot! That'd be a dangerous location to live, I'd be at Doohers all the time haha

Very enjoyable episode guys ‼️ 👍 ✨ Niiiiiice to see you are OK. 🎉🎉🎉

Looking forward to your next episode. Campbellford is our go to town while trailering on the Trent up at Lock 15. Hope you had a chance to go to Dockside restaurant!

[@SchoandJo]

Campbellford was awesome! We missed Dockside but had some good food at Capers Tap House. Hope you enjoy the video!

[@The442nd]

There you are!!!!!😃😃😃 I was starting to worry

[@ronbrown1139]

On the Rideau Canal system that runs from Kingston to Ottawa, Ontario, we often raft 3 boats wide.

[@stevengilbert6672]

As I write this post, Georgian Bay through Midland to Parry Sound has just frozen over and it is a balmy -21 degrees Celsius in Sawlog Bay

[@RebelCowboysRVs]

Breakers can have a pretty wide range that they can trip at an still be considered good. A 30 amp breaker actually kicks at about 27 amps or so if memory serves. An thats constant load. A short spike above that, like a AC motor starting, they are built to hold that too. But they are not made all that exact. So one breaker will trip sooner than the next. If you are near the limit of what a breaker can hold, you may trip some breakers an not others, even though they are rated the same. If you move from one plug to another like that an it fixes your problem, thats usually what you have ran in to. The first one kicks slightly sooner than the second one. Or the first one may actually be failing.

Hey guys this video is unlisted. It took some effort to find. ITs probably why theirs low views.

[@SchoandJo]

Hi Vin! Thanks, we have to keep it unlisted while our music copyright service fixes the claim. It’s not quite ready for general audience yet. Normally claims are resolved immediately but this one has taken a few days. Just curious, how did you find the video?

[@vink99]

@@SchoandJo I didn't see it posted and came looking for it. It shows up on the Playlist for your Canadian videos. Just wanted you guys to get the views you deserve.

[@portfoliofotoz]

I think you must lack a proper inverter disconnect switch between your house bank and inverter. My guess is that when you turned your house battery switch to "off" when you replaced the fuse, your batteries were still supplying current to the inverter through the fuse. Your inverter can kill you even if your house bank switch is in the "off" position. Clearly something is not the way you expected it to be or you would not have "sparkled" at the fuse block! You really need to study your system with that in mind. Research "do I need an inverter disconnect switch."

[@SchoandJo]

I think we do have the disconnect, and we did use it! What I think it was, is the location our solar system connects to our batteries and the inverter is elsewhere, and I didn’t disconnect that. So that was giving us a voltage which I didn’t expect 😬
