Re: Replacing couch/bed with custom 8020 rail frame

I also replaced my bed. Once I removed the old sofa, I assembled a frame using slotted steel angle irons with 2x4s & 1x3s for support. The back angle iron was attached to the same mounting wood pieces that held the old sofa. There was enough space over the water tank to install a drawer. I stain...

I use NordVPN on my Mac, Chromebook, iPad, & iPhone. It's fast and highly rated. $79 for 2 years and you can use it on 6 devices.

Re: Progressive Dynamics (PD4655V) 55 Amp Converter/Charger

I've been working on other stuff including a couple of rearview cameras. I'll post when the charger is in. I do plan to run 8 AWG to the LVD.

Re: Progressive Dynamics (PD4655V) 55 Amp Converter/Charger

Wow, more complicated than I thought. I have a new PD4655 which is why I started this thread. I just replaced my batteries with 2 group 31 from NAPA (b/c of the 30 month warranty). Perhaps my simplest solution is to just run an 8 AWG from the PD to the LVD.

Re: Progressive Dynamics (PD4655V) 55 Amp Converter/Charger

So, I can hook it up with the existing long run to the LVD. I still think that I should do the shorter run under the couch. If so, should I use 8 AWG or go with 6? Also, do I just run a positive wire to the LVD, since the neg. is already grounded? Or run a a neg. wire to the chassis, and if so where...

Progressive Dynamics (PD4655V) 55 Amp Converter/Charger

I have a new Progressive Dynamics (PD4655V) 55 amp converter/charger. It is possible/advisable to use this instead of the 45 amp unit? Should I run a heavier gauge line under the sofa to the LVD? If so what gauge wire should I use?

Thanks,

Bill

Re: 110 Volt Fridge

How were you able to install 2 golf cart batteries? I assume these are 6 volts. All the ones I have looked at are too tall for the battery compartment.
