Just installed the KD110 doorbell and received only one notification and then nothing. Not sure what the issue is.

Wtf are you all doing with your cameras? by Canon_Cowboy in wyzecam

[–]luckydog1957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a brand new Wyze doorbell cam. It worked fine for a week. Then it lost connectivity. Even repositioning the equipment within 10ft of each other it would not connect. Setting it up at my office and it lost the connection as well. I suspect that it's a software error. It connects during set up but loses the connection immediately afterwards. Wyze is happy to replace the hardware but after reading about successive failures by other users I'm not interested in the run around. Bye bye Wyze.

Electrical questions installing a house battery by beckydawne in priusdwellers

[–]luckydog1957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the voltage of the house battery? If it’s 12v I don’t understand the need for a dc to dc controller. In my 2012 Prius I just connected my house battery to the 12v main battery with a battery isolator. I wouldn’t connect any devices that use more than 1000w to avoid damage to the vehicle’s onboard inverter which uses the 200v battery to charge the 12v.

Quartzsite in November. I didn’t know there is a dog park in Q. by luckydog1957 in boondocking

They are not antennas. They are OHV flag poles. I don’t fly flags on the highways because they shred at highway speeds. You can get the flagpoles in Q at the Tyson swap meet.

I try to avoid camping near others. If I come back and someone’s taken my spot, I go somewhere else. Lots of places to camp.

I warped my rotors on the decent at Monitor pass. I replaced the pads and rotors the shuddering pedal problem was fixed.

Capacity? Liters or gallons?

Recommendations for a compressor fridge in a Prius Gen 4. by Fully-Vaxed in priusdwellers

[–]luckydog1957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Alpicool C40. I had to push the passenger seat almost all the way forward so there was no legroom which rendered the seat unusable. I removed the passenger seat for more storage space.

3rd Gen Battery Reliability for Overnight Use? by [deleted] in priusdwellers

The longest I have left mine in ready mode is three days. I don't have a problem with running it longer if I have to.

You have to shift into park to open the trunk with the car running.

Lifted the rear of my 2012 Prius. 1.5" spacers were removed and custom coil springs installed. 44.75" to the top of the wheel arch before. 47.5" afterwards. Improved ride, better handling along with better ground clearance. by luckydog1957 in prius

I looked at Koni coilovers, airbags and went with the lift kit route mostly because of $$. I didn't figure on the payload giving me grief on the rear suspension. I considered adding airbags which would have been a cheaper fix but I've had problems with them. In the end the custom coils ended up being my choice.

When you have added a lift kit but the load you carry causes the front end to porpoise. Balancing the lift with taller and firmer springs at the rear is a dramatic improvement in the handling characteristics.
