    Any good solar charge controllers that do both lead acid and lithium?

    The $99 mppt charger thread I started here is about a very nice Victron CC that has a lithium setting plus a custom option you can set any way you want. Mine has been going full time going on 3 years or so now. Plus the mavens of mud here have given it high marks too.

    A/C and Heat died. Blower dead too.

    Hi all, It's me again. And my HVAC still doesn't work. Due to a bad injury I couldn't use my rig all spring/summer so it just sat, problems and all. So before I shell out $450 for an AC Amplifier (part #60212) I'd just like to know if my total hvac failure could be caused by that other hvac...

    Oh well..... Switch trick didn't work. But today it decided it wants the blower on full all the time, and the AC switch was lit - until it wasn't. So when I first put the key on and it blew air I thought it was fixed. Bummer.

    Oh that's awesome! Thanks CCSlider. Do we know for sure that this bypasses both amps, or just one of them? If just one, which one?

    Best AT Tire LX450 2018

    I have Firestone Destination AT's for road and sand mostly and love 'em. However the current #1 tire on TireRack's owners survey in the AT category is the Continental Terrain Contact AT. That's how I picked my Firestones four years ago and things turned out great.

    A/C and Heat died. Blower dead too.

    AC fuse good. I never use it on auto. Come to think of it that was the first problem, it switched to auto itself and I couldn't switch it back. The next time it was dead. I had the whole HVAC panel out today and saw that the back of that box snaps open in the back and has a few holes in it...

    A/C and Heat died. Blower dead too.

    My entire HVAC control board (40th Anniversary automatic HVAC) is dead. Some of the lights light when button pushed, and some don't, but nothing happens. I read about the AC Amplifier crapping out, but does that kill the heat and blower also? If so, where is this thing? Any help is...

    A reliable portable air compressor for tire fill

    The Viair 330 (I think) is on my short list for when my MV50 goes belly up. I have a feeling though that Im gonna be stuck with it for a long while. I use it less these days, and its still strong as ever. The damn thing actually fills faster as it goes. No idea why but the last tire always...

    DIY new windshield or have it installed by a pro?

    Just FYI, when rust was found along the edge of the windshield, under the rubber, the body shop sourced a wider and tighter windshield gasket to keep moisture and dirt out of this well known cancer area.

    LX450 2nd gear issues continue. Please Help!!!

    In my case I was told it could be both but in the end it turned out to be the neutral safety lockout unit that was making it get stuck in gears, usually 2nd, and then being fine for a few hours. They said the solenoid was more $pendy, but the safety thing was just an easy bolt on job.

    Camp Grills

    That is great news. Thanks. They have these gourmet burgers around here that are made with nice cuts like brisket that are awesome, but are something like 30-40% fat. :eek: .... :)

    Camp Grills

    Thanks for the great reply. Can you use fatty chop-meat in burgers or will the heavier drippings hurt the burner?

    Camp Grills

    Believe it or not I got one of those Sol-Air Everywhere grills to put in the slideout kitchen. No table though. It's one of those "searing" high heat IR burner deals. Which I have zero experience with, so it should be fun. :) I love those V shaped grill pieces, designed...
