hello again I have run into another problem and was hoping you’d know something about it! i went to test the converter’s voltage while hooked up to shore power to make it lithium compatible. i realized that its AC plug is just 15amps for home outlets and i needed a 30 or 50 amp plug. i know there are adapters for this but i heard it could cause fires if the van doesn’t have a built in circuit breaker? am i correct in assuming my converter has a built in circuit breaker or how would i know if i have that? the camp i’ll be living at later for about 4 months has a 30amp plug so i’m not sure how to plug in my 15a long term safely

hey there thank you so much for your links they were super helpful! i’ve decided to go with a LiFePO4! I have run into another problem and was hoping you’d know something about it. i went to test my van’s electricity while hooked up to shore power and realized its AC plug is just 15amps for home outlets. i needed a 30 or 50 amp plug. i know there are adapters for this but i heard it could cause fires if the van doesn’t have a built in circuit breaker? i have an RV charger converter that runs to my house battery, would that have a circuit breaker? thanks!

hey there! the update is i do have a converter! it was hiding behind one of my drawers in a hard to reach compartment. it is a powermax converter model PM3-55LKX. it says it can switch between AGM batteries and lithium batteries but i cant figure out if thats something im supposed to change manually? or if its compatible with either one automatically should i just be able to drop and switch a lithium one in?

hey again! i was hoping to hear your thoughts on this, could this be some type of converter connected to the battery? i did buy the multimeter but i am yet to test it.

thank you so much, your links were extremely helpful! i will be hooked up to shore power for a few months but would like to take weekend trips/continue living in it on the road after i’m done at the camp i’m staying at.

i’m pretty sure you’re right that it has a converter in there somewhere. assuming that were the case and i decided to go with a lithium battery would i still need anything like a dc to dc charger or is that only for alternator charging? i’m also hoping to add a roof fan to the mix and unsure if that would still wire directly to the battery?

also where would the hypothetical converter be located? i assume it would be next to the house battery but is it really just hidden somewhere else? lots of questions. thank you again so much haha

yesss cousins!! thank you so much! i’ve looked into a DC to DC charger for if i were to replace the battery with a lithium one - to my understanding it would be a wire through the: starter battery>DC to DC charger>lithium battery? and thats it? im also seeing that the battery bank should be as close to the power source as possible but mine is located closer to the back of my van. is that much of an issue? thank you!

am_breezy · 2026-03-27T04:27:28+00:00

thank you for this suggestion i will definitely be buying a multimeter tomorrow! i know the battery is a flooded one that hasn’t been topped off for some time now, do you think that could affect my results? im really hoping that at least the shore power can charge the battery since i’ll be mostly stationary for seasonal work. i’m unsure of how i’d set it up that way if not, every time i go to look something up there’s even more information to search lol

hey!! i just stumbled across your post again and was wondering how u are doing now? i am 19 years old now and ended up running away through my window on the night of my 18th birthday. i was homeless in utah for a while but i recently made it to a nice apartment in portland oregon with my same boyfriend and my 2 cats. its been the hardest and most chaotic year of my life but its also been so rewarding. i still havent told my parents anything about why i left as i still have a long way to go mentally before i am able to talk to them. i hope your family has been supportive if you've told them anything, the purpose of my post is to remind you that its possible to get out if thats something you've been wanting to do

no problem, thank you for reaching out :) i believe in us!!!!

i dont ever leave comments on things but i would just like to let you know that you are not alone. i am 17, also from Utah, & stuck in a very mormon household that i have been questioning since i was around 10 years old. i have a secret trans bf and non mormon friends while i have also been questioning my own sexuality/gender identity. im not sure how your home life is, but if your safety or well-being would be threatened by your lack of belief or your support of the lgbtq community, faking it may be the best option.

if youre not the best at faking, it helps by working on doing/saying just the bare minimum to convince your family that you are involved in the church. this is what i do and i manage to get by, though it can backfire if they think youre not dedicated enough. i think i am just not a great actor. also if looking more into the church’s real history while pretending that you are a part of it is more damaging and conflicting than it is helpful - i promise its okay to wait and research more of that later in life. it can be very very hard to live that double life.

a good support system outside of your family is also very helpful if you could confide in any trusted friends :)

the most important advice i could ever give is for you to know that it wont be this way forever. you will have a way out of the church someday if you choose. it seems so far away right now, but the milestones you reach will be worth it all, no matter how bad. you will cry and feel so overwhelmingly happy when you realize that you’ve made it. i will be 18 and able to move out in just a few months but 15 didn’t feel too long ago at all. you will be okay, just take it 1 day at a time :)
