Some batteries already have that built in heat generation to avoid or prevent issues of charging at low temperatures.

Everything I’ve towed wears the front tires, other than my screw ups. Just watch your mirror in a tight turn, the toad front wheels get dragged through the turn, the steering doesn’t do a complete cut. That’s why you have the rubber stink when you start the toad, rubber is on the exhaust manifold and burns off.

Rocky: That’s pretty slick. Any thoughts on how low of voltage is “too low”?
I bought our Progressive directly from Progressive after talking to the founder and original owner of the product and the company. He has since sold it.

How did you access the ram? any pictures would be welcomed.
Thanks

Single 50DN?
First part sounds like you are talking about the chassis batteries, then you are talking about house AGM?
Both the chassis and the house have equalizers on a Liberty Elegant Lady.
I am not aware Liberty has a battery balance warning light for the house, or even a good way to compare house 12 and 24v other than a dash 24V gauge and the generator 12V gauge.
At low RPM the voltage output on a 50DN lopes up and down a little. At high idle it stabilizes.
Best way to check house battery voltages (but not separate battery voltages) is in the electric compartment at the bus bars. The dash gauges are not the easiest to read or get a reliable reading from.

Hey, if you’ve got it, flaunt it… it doesn’t sit right with no air in it anyway.

DKO,
The clearance looks tight. I have this latch coming in from Amazon this week. I’ll mic it and let you know how thick it is.
Agree on your not wanting to drill/screw into something so my plan is to use double-sided Gorilla Tape to install.

97 Liberty, 6 way electric adjustments but no air adjustment buttons apart from lumbar – generally sits too high and is too bouncy. Also have the occasional leak when first sitting down, sometimes need to sit 2-3 times to cure the leak. What, if anything, can I do? I think it’s a 6500?

We have both a 14 Ram Limited and 14 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit.
Had no issues with either one. We tow the Ram to Florida every winter and tow the GC with us when we travel for work. We bought both for the air ride suspension and V8 engines. Both get decent fuel mileage and you can’t beat the ride.

every little thing helps. I think the roof coating is helpful, but I think even more helpful is addressing the windows. He has the insulating barrier, which works very very well. I would also put the ceramic heat reflecting tint. That helps quite a bit and all the time (even going down the road). 3M makes ceramic window tint, as does Llumar. both of these will reject large amounts of heat. Then when parked, use the reflective sheets.
as for cruisairs – when tuned, they work decently well. I dont think roof airs are any better than a cruisair – outside of the cost. Roof airs are replaceable and throw away. You kind of save every piece of a cruisair. . .
If you want a really nice roof air – look at the red dot roof units. They do 25K BTU off of 24v I think.

It appears that the deal on the bus I was looking at has fallen through because he got a better offer and I’m not willing to match it.
I also spent some time looking at older converted coaches and found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vjqxs6UHsQ For $150K, it would have been perfect.
I need to think about this some more. Just because I can do something doesn’t mean I should.

Thanks for the post. I have 6 on the way to finishing replacing the ones I could not find fixtures for. Should be here on Monday!

Neutralize the interior colors. Make the interior neutral with black, grey, light grey, and white, then add accent color in rugs and pillows. dinner ware etc. When you grow tired of the color change the accent rugs, pillows etc.

What brand of tow bar are you using? We had a similar problem with a Blue OX bar and found out one of the arms had unlocked. Stopped and restarted quickly to reset the bar and all was well.
