Mesa man loses his loved ones in a deadly RV fire
It may have been caused by an overheated shore power connector
Is there such a thing as a 100-amp pedestal?
I think it’s a version of the name game, nothing more!
Should I upgrade to a 24-volt RV battery?
Battery terminology can be confusing but it’s really important!
I’m heading to Alumapalooza!

Update on my "tech level" survey!
Wow! Lots of you responded to my recent poll on how deep you want my articles to be...
How deep do you want me to go?
Please take this poll about what technical level you would like me to publish

Hi Mike,
Question about converting to lithium batteries. Existing wfco8955 converter doesn't support lithium...but do I really need to do an upgrade? My thoughts...1) the converter will charge lithium batteries to 80% without damaging them; 2) the converter charges the batteries only when on shore power or generator so a full charge is really not needed; 3) my solar controller supports lithium batteries and will take the batteries to full charge (with enough sun and time); and 4) when travelling the pigtail from our TV will take the batteries to full charge (with enough travel time). So is the $200+ cost for a converter upgrade needed? Thanks for your time!!!
