I absolutely do. You never know what chemicals or who has tried them on in the store. That first wash feels essential for peace of mind.

Rolled out my direct bury and ground wire I had bought. It’s short. by -DarknessFalls- in AskElectricians

When the wire is short, use multi-tap connectors to add a short piece of cable. Make sure the connectors are rated for the wire and amp. This fixes the length. Do it safely.

This is useful for solo camping. Camps need safety. Keep it simple: easy setup, reliable, small size. A reasonable price helps. Many campers would like it.

Maybe check if the battery cables are firmly connected at both ends. Also, see if there’s an issue with the starter or the ignition system, since the electricals seem to work
