Hi, Mike. I'm curious if the proposed 2023 NEC changes, which include GFCI protection for all 120/240 volt receptacles in a kitchen, garage, laundry room, outdoors, etc., will trickle down to RV park pedestals.
How about a course on Solar power system building? I'm thinking solar panels with this wattage, you need this inline fuse, and this gauge wiring, and this level mppt, and so on. Or start from how to know how much batter power is needed based on appliance and work out from there.
You are greatly appreciated, Mike, your knowledge and expertise are invaluable.
I would love to hear about solar panel construction and testing of different brands and models, and also about Lithium batteries from different brands and construction.
We have followed your topics both online and at the FROG rally the last few years.
One area I would like to see discussed may be a little off topic:
In light of both the instability of local utilities and roving shortages - think the extended power outage in Texas during the extreme cold in 2021 - what are the best options to prepare to support your family and your homestead during extended outages of local utilities.
Think of a large Jackery with lots of solar cells.
This would also work to support an RV without external power input and if the LP runs out.
U about a year ago did research on Hughes Autoformers whether good or bad for the campground, Promising a final report shortly, I never saw your recommendation. Was it a legal issue?
Was thinking about going lithium. I have solar now and figured put what I will need. Questions I have are what kind of fuses and where they should be located in line, and the reasons.
If you haven't already done so, perhaps help us with best practices for 12v wiring upgrades while minimizing voltage losses. For example, splicing a longer wire lead, making battery leads, adding a branch circuit to power something new, proper wire sizing for upgrades, soldering vs crimping etc.
Short circuit post was great
Multi-meters is my choice to master!
Inverters, multi meters hanging meters, solar
Thanks for all u do!!!!!
Multi & clamp meters
Multi meters and clamp meters, basic RV electricity, all things solar. Thanks

I’d like to see you discuss/review the “Car Generator” you mentioned in one of your posts.
I would like to know how to troubleshoot a device that has a control board to determine if the fault is the control board or something else.

Thank you for all you do for our community
I would like you do include some info on multimeter use/testing for novices, like me. Thanks
