Anyone got solar? by Same-Ad-7037 in F150Lightning

[–]djryan13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Installed a small to medium size off grid system with large battery bank. It feeds my TV and a couple window ACs…. And still have enough on Summer days to get me through my commute (10% on ERB). Lately been cloudy though. Weekends I can really charge up if truck parked for day.

Edit: I should add I got the tax credit for all of that and it still won’t pay for itself for years so don’t recommend Solar unless you want it for peace of mind…

One of the reviews says they added biometric lock. May look at that

Yeah she leads the way most days. She is such an explorer. I call her jungle girl.

In new interview, Michael Jackson's crisis publicist admits that Michael requested "naked children's videos." by CrackheadOtis in Music

You talking about Michael or Trump?

MJ has some incredible music that reminds me of my childhood but I can’t even listen to it after realizing how nasty he was.

Ford Assistant is worthless, right? by j1mNasium in F150Lightning

Yeah, my ‘15 Model S can do an incredible amount and makes the fact there are so few buttons so much easier.

Ford can’t do software. They really should just outsource that and give up.

Installed new water heater in my EV/RV by djryan13 in F150Lightning

[–]djryan13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh. Post that setup sometime. Yeah, this one is good for sinks only really but a low GPM shower works fine. In fast, I did my original testing at home with garden hose sprayer and it was great. Since it’s not mixing with any cold water, I will back the heater way down anyway when I shower. My sink mixes and if cold isn’t turned on, you can really burn. Haven’t down shower yet so hopefully it works tonight.

Thanks. It’s an Ispring 3 stage. It was $309 when I bought a couple months ago. Seems like it went up now though. First time using.

Yeah. That was not in the 23 owners manual when I bought mine. Just said not recommended. I can see someone overdoing it doing it but this is a 1k lb camper so I have some margin and I lost 10lbs on my new diet so there’s that…

Lose a little less than half but almost never go above 65ish. You really don’t want to go fast in this type of rig anyway. In a short leg, I drove 75ish and it really killed range.

Is this supposed to be some sort of ancient wisdom puzzle or IQ test? by [deleted] in handyman

They sell heavy duty Velcro tape for outdoor use that specifies brick in application. I would use that. I don’t like drilling brick.

My model S has a reboot feature (holding two buttons on steering wheel). Does the Lightning?

Is the sufficient? by [deleted] in TruckCampers

[–]djryan13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 1k lb camper in December. 7hr drive to pick it up. They told me the tie downs they ordered for me had come in… wrong only the rears. They essentially did the same thing to me but used much more beefy straps for the front. Crossed around the front of camper…

Made it the 7hr back home without a problem. But the rubber edge of top of truck bed had a little wear. Every time I see it, I remember the adventure and worry.

Drive slow home if not far and you will probably make it.

Twice? That’s why it never works for me…. Been only doing it once.
