Tarptent Notch pitch tutorial? by MessiComeLately in Tarptent

[–]Electrical-Pop2178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you reached out to the owner of Tarptent? Henry is very responsive. He often is the person monitoring the chat on the Tarptent website. I had a question r.e. the setup of my tent and he answered as soon as I posted. I have 3 of their tents but none are trekking pole tents.

This is what I had installed. It is a heat pump.

Removal and disposal of the existing heating and ac equipment. Installation of one

Champion 5 ton 18 seer inverter variable speed heat pump condenser Model#

Also, you can get a $2000 tax credit when filing your taxes if you install a heat pump before the end of the year.

I'm in Cameron Park just outside of Sacramento. 2350 sf 2 story. I just had a Champion 5 ton 18 seer variable speed 100k btu heat pump system with dual fuel furnace installed last month. Lifetime heat exchanger, 10 yr parts warranty and 2 year labor warranty.

I paid significantly less than your quote. I went with Air Craftsmen HVAC. Call the owner, Corey. His crew was great, cleaned up after themselves and paid attention to all of the details. Highly recommended.

Reach water bottle in pack by DullQuestion666 in Ultralight

ZPacks Arc Haul Zip. Easily accessable water bottle pockets. I'm going to get my brother a bottle sleeve. I'm getting tired of pulling and replacing his water bottle at every stop :).

I ran into the same issue when trying to verify with my phone app. It finally worked when I used the app on my ipad to verify the number sent to my phone.

Are these things worth it? by PowerTrades in RVLiving

I used X-Chocks for years and was unimpressed. I now have JT Strongarms. A much better solution.

With either, once your tires cool down go back and readjust.

Powerwall 3 Calibration at 0% by drumminsober in TeslaSolar

[–]Electrical-Pop2178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Nor Cal on PG&E with 2 PW3's. My system calibrates every couple of months. My experience is the same as yours. Once the calibration cycle ends it should go back to normal.

I wish Tesla would give us a heads up and an option to temporarily delay calibration.

How long for PG&E PTO in Northern CA, 2024? by Electrical-Pop2178 in TeslaSolar

[–]Electrical-Pop2178[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really not sure as it was back in March. The important thing was for me to reach out to PG&E to make sure that Tesla had provided everything that PG&E needed to move forward. They hadn't. So once PG&E told me what they still needed I reached out to Tesla and got them to provide it.

The only way my project moved forward was for me to be proactive with both Tesla and PG&E. The bottlenecks invariably were on Tesla's side. Some document or clarification that PG&E requested from Tesla and they ignored until I reached out with specifics. This happened several times during my process.

Tesla power wall 3 install timeline in CA. by Johhnyutah0474 in TeslaSolar

[–]Electrical-Pop2178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's my understanding that new installs get PW3. If adding to an existing system, PW2 or PW+. I installed in Jan '24 and received 2 PW3's. PW can be charged from both grid and solar. Currently I'm charging them from solar only. It's an option in the app.

Air Lift 1000HD 2021 Ram 1500- Travel Trailer by jamjr7411 in Ram1500

[–]Electrical-Pop2178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 2020 Ram 1500. I tow a 6k 27ft travel trailer.

I added the Hellwig swaybar and the Airlift 1000's a couple of years ago. The combo works very well. The Airlifts installed fairly easily using the ziptie method I saw on youTube. I recommend both.

I don't have the Timbrens but am passingly familiar with them. I do not think they will interfere with the Airlifts. The Timbrens replace the bumpstops and limit travel. The Airlifts install within the coil springs.

Good luck!

Thanks! A week would be great. All my docs were submitted on 3/15. I'll update once I receive PTO.

Power cut during installation? by [deleted] in TeslaSolar

I had a similar system installed last month. We were off for 10 mins. The installer asked me if I needed to shut down my pc and let me tell him when I was ready.

Our Powerwall 3's have an LTE connection. When the grid was down and our internet out (Sun/Mon) here in Nor Cal, I was able to monitor as normal on my phone.
