Or am I confused? The volts eventually recover pretty well after I open circuit breaker. But ah just seem to keep going down. I’m down to 68 or so out of 100.

On a happier note I have my floor installed and trim around shower and bathroom door. I need to cut my interior wall coverings and prime them and start installing.

Ok. According to the seller capacity is measured by voltage. So if I see 13.5v when everything is disconnected I should assume battery is fully charged. Is this accurate? The Renogy meter shows I have 67% or so left which is around 67 amp hours. So could there be something amiss with the meter?!?

I think my problem is that I have my charger hooked direct to battery. It is evidently supposed to be hooked to the Renogy shunt but I’m not sure how. It can’t read the input current if it’s hooked direct to battery… anybody know how to hook it up right? The manual doesn’t help me much.

I hooked negative charge lead to shunt and all appears to be good.

Yup. Took me a bit of searching. The negative charger lead needs to be hooked to p- on shunt IIRC.
I installed the nickel gap in the bathroom today. It’s coming together!

I have the nickel gap painted that I’ve installed. Also received the Airhead toilet yesterday. I need to build some cabinets…

Nothing unless you want to see how the electrical hooks up on ac. Think I have a pic of that :-)

The regulator I purchased for my water heater is a 1 psi regulator. Will this work? My heater calls for 11-14” WC.

1 PSI is about 27 WC (inches in water column). Sounds like you need a 0.5PSI regulator which is about what a gas grill uses I believe.

I usesd a .5 PSI on my OD water heater.

Did a little painting yesterday. I built the cabinet for the refrigerator and microwave so I’m ready to clean them out and hook up and install. I really need to get moving as I plan to use this trailer this year yet.

I told a cabinet builder today to order doors and drawers. He is also supplying slides and hinges. Countertop is installed. I also installed my Renogy gauge, water heater controller and Seelevel tank head today. It’s coming together! I may be done enough to pull it to Texas here in a few weeks. Somehow I need to get the bottom foamed yet though too…

I have a question about solar. Should I be seeing any charge at all with the lights in my shop or is that not enough?
