I am guessing there was water in it from the last trip and thus it's 50/50 you might be good. But as the other reply said. Easy to pop in a new element. Now something to think about.. Unless you frequently need fast recovery. The standard element is 1200-1500 watts at 120 volts 10-12.5 amps...

This method should work with all browsers and search engines on computers (perhaps not on phones or tablets) Go to the forum home page (or in my case "new posts" page.. Click into the address field on your browser and hit CTRL-A to highlight if needed then CTRL-C to copy.. Now minimize the...

If it is just the part that's exposed when it's rolled up.. Many products that should work. I am thinking of the rubberized roofing products like Snow Coat (It's white but there are some black versions too)

I have met a number of RVers who do precisely that (Tow a 5er with a Semi Tractor) In fact there used to be a line of Semi tractors called "Trail Hauler" As I recall they were the smaller Peterbuits (The kind that normally pull "local delivery" or what you might call "last Mile" trailers from a...

That might not be easy to do.. Not a lot of electronic components made in the USA any more. Though there is a government effort (The Chips Act) to remedy that.

Sounds like they had many strings attached Wish I'd been there I like those strings.

There is still a move to standardiz.. Tesla may no longer be a part of it but it's like the USB=C connector Apple now uses on their IOS products..... Others won the standard.

There is a move to standardize charge connections.. I have 10ga extension cords (Not that I use them) and it's no harder to put KWH into and EV than Gallons into an ICE so not MIT book needed. It will be a big help when that standard goes into effect.. Then depending on the age of your EV you...

Thanks for that post.. I've heard that about the Tesla's (Lots of Horses) and you confirmed what I said about recharge times and range both improving over time.. A bit faster than I thought but still it's confirmation of what I said.

The computer's IP is 127.0.0.1 In fact.. It really is (That's also THEIR computer's address)

The Trick to trafveling through a big city like Chicago is A tock a tock a tick a tock TIMING. You hit the city at rush hour.. Find parking and wait. You hit the city at oh say 3AM Sunday Morning (I'm doing extremes here) "Where are all those cars they warned me about"? That said. I do not...

Fuse/breaker box diagrams are at the best cryptic but you can make one that makes actual sense. Here is how. First plug in and verify everything works. Use night lights or other lamps to test outlets (120 type) Now turn off breakers other than the main (Main will be either one 30 or two 50's...

The primary reason is resistance from the oil and gas industry. Most of the other concerns are false or temporary Secondary emissions/reliance on fossil fuels for Electricity . -Electric generators are easier to optimize than variable speed engines so.. False flag Range anexity -yes today...

I would go with a new Amish Built cooling unit.. (read that I did on my Dometic) To my eyes it sure loked better than OEM. and I don't feel the need to add all the plastic (the box) to a land fill somewhere.

Ah well.. I donated some money to a local listener supported radio station the transaction was processed by METAPPGIVE via pay pall. and instantly additional transactions including around 1500 worth of airline tickets showed up on my card. That last one got declined (The bank did not believe it...
