Good video of BattleBorn CEO discussing temperature, float, balancing and other aspects of LiFePO4 batteries.
Should answer most of anyone's questions if you're considering these or already have them.

In case you're ever stuck on the roadside with a blown airbag you could try this hack:

Are any of you familiar with this coach? Their website has practically no info. I emailed them yesterday morning with some questions, waiting to hear back.

Hi,
Looking for a newel coach thats handicap accessible 2000-2003. (That’s probably our budget range) I know thats a hard order to fill but my wife’s in a wheelchair and plays Para Badminton for Team USA. Amys been a good sport for the last six year now traveling east to west coast in my 1991 Newell coach 272 that we have made work. Coach 272 will be for sale in March or April when when return to Nashville from California where she has been training. We may have to buy a Newmar or Winnebago but we really love the Newell quality so if anyone knows of such a coach or in the future were to discover one for sale in your travels you can messenger me or email [email protected]. Thanks so much,
Robert & Amy Austin
My bride is a planner. I am the lucky recipient. This year she started even earlier on the reservations. Most of the trip was reserved while we were still on the 2019 tour.
She has a few tricks that really help her.
One, always call to make the reservation. Look online to see what they have, but call. Communicate the needs for sites, satellite, and easy in and out.
Two, make the reservations for the holiday weekends first. Then fill in the inbetweens.
Three, if the last 50 fifty miles are secondary roads, keep the daily mileage under 200. Or the driver gets crabby.
Four, and this was a new learning this year. If you can plan that far in advance, make your reservations for the coming year while the campground is still staffed. In the past, for many of the campgrounds closed in the winter, she would talk to an answering service. Sometimes with mixed results.
Five, she sends our family, and neighbors watching the house, this list with phone numbers in case they can't reach us on the cell.
I post this not to say look at us, but the phone numbers for the campgrounds are there, and they have been vetted as Newell suitable.
Finally, meet us somewhere on this journey. We will have a mini ralley. We will hike, bike, and eat really well.

[attachment=7275]Hello gurus! I could use some help with the fire extinguisher shutdown circuit for the generator.
Yesterday I discovered that the circuit on my coach is apparently wired in series with the "pull in" coil and not the "hold in" coil.
If I disconnect the FE circuit to simulate an empty canister while the genny is running, it keeps running. If I shut the genny down and try to restart it with the FE circuit unplugged, the pull in coil does nothing and obviously the genny will not start. If I plug the FE circuit back in, all is well again. The pull in coil does its thing, and the genny purrs right along.
My hang up is with the wiring. One side of the FE circuit comes out of the 4 prong plug and connects with the black ground wire to the pull in/hold in solenoid. The other side of the circuit connects to a white wire that disappears into the wiring harness. The red and white leads coming from the pull in hold in solenoid are also connected to separate white wires which also disappear into the harness. Without being able I track these white wires I am unsure how to rewire the system.
Any help on how to proceed would be much appreciated.
Merry Christmas to everyone
Hey everyone been off line for awhile, but wanted to announce 2 New RV resorts that I am opening this year. The first one is ‘The Regatta on Grand”. It is 30 minutes south of the Newell factory, on Grand Lake in Grove. We have over 80 sites with 43 of them being waterfront and a 10,000 square foot pavillion. .So if you are ever in the area come by and stay for a nite free on me..We Gated and guarded with full concierge service. My other one should open in the summer in Fayetteville. So come enjoy and say hi.
Another obvious newbie question. There is a 50 amp outlet in the electric bay. When not on shore power does or is the shore power cord supposed to be plugged into this 50 amp outlet? If not what is this outlet for?
