    Grrrrrrr.......D&%$ circuit brakers

    You can pick up the battery power from the main buss. The length of the extra wire depends on where you put the 80 amp breaker. I had to add only one wire, buss to breaker. I reused the original breaker to trombetta wire.

    Grrrrrrr.......D&%$ circuit brakers

    The hydraulic pump motor will draw up to 60 to 70 amps. Size the wire for that level of amperage.

    Deteriorating Water Flow- Exhausted Troubleshooting

    Look for a pinched line somewhere after the common pump/city water and the split to the water heater. This would be plumbing common to all downstream fixtures. Changing the inside diameter of the plumbing makes a large difference in flow area. The area changes by the square of the diameter...

    Deteriorating Water Flow- Exhausted Troubleshooting

    The check valve in the city water inlet may be misbehaving. If so, it would be a restriction giving the pressure reading differences during water flow. The air bubble in the water heater would act as a small accumulator.

    Deteriorating Water Flow- Exhausted Troubleshooting

    Check the faucet screens for signs of debris. Also, it sounds like what happens when an accumulator discharges. Is there an accumulator installed? That would indicate general plumbing downstream of the accumulator is ok and the problem is somewhere near the inlet of the system.

    Electrical Fire caused by shorted 7-wire cord

    That's true. That's why Knight's added breaker makes sense.

    Electrical Fire caused by shorted 7-wire cord

    Probably not. The circuit protection is near the source(the truck, a fuse) and not the load(the battery) when the circuit is connected.

    tire pressure

    At tire pressures around 100psi, the estimate is for every 10F tire pressure will change by 2%. 40 degree temp change causes 4 x 2% = 8% pressure change. 110 x 1.08 = 118.8psi. Are sensors reading correctly?

    Lug Nuts/Torque

    Do not use an impact wrench to torque lug nuts. Adjustable or not, the final output will range 50%. Get one if you must with more than you need to get the nuts loose. Run the nuts up to snug, then use a torque wrench to finish tightening.

    Toilet not flushing

    You are getting the burp when you open the ball valve because the tank is full to the point of blocking the vent and air can no longer go out the vent. Suspect the tank drain valve.

    Pulling more amps and breaker trip

    Well, then, if your cheapheat draws more than 30 amps the 30 amp breakers should trip. The is something else drawing current to take L1 and L2 towards 50 amps. I would say the cheapheat is not your problem current draw.

    Pulling more amps and breaker trip

    I would suspect that something has gone wrong with the heating elements resulting in less coil resistance and drawing more current.

    Lippert system breaker tripping , poor Heartland support

    There is no constant power demand. Low voltage will not push sufficient current. DC motor speed varies directly with voltage. The lower the voltage, the lower the motor speed resulting in lower hydraulic flow. That would result in lower hydraulic power demand. Maximum current will be the...

    Lippert system breaker tripping , poor Heartland support

    Ohm's law says current is proportional to voltage. V=IxR As voltage goes down, current goes down. Techs measured my current draw as high as 65 amps at 12+ volts. The 50 amp breaker is undersized. The DC motor on the hydraulic pump is rated to 1hp, 756watts. 756/12 = 63 amps.

    Pressure Relief Valve

    Consider installing an expansion tank to give the expanding water someplace to go and not raise the pressure high enough to open the water heater relief valve. I know that works.

    Both cable slides stopped working at same time

    There may be an autoreset breaker in the fuse/breaker panel that serves both slides and it has failed or a wire connection came loose. Press a slide switch while observing the panel to see if its panel indicator light comes on indicating an open breaker/fuse.

    Bathroom showerhead

    The dribble valve changes the flow and pressure balance of the hot and cold resulting in nearly no hot flow in the fribble. I replaced it with a full shut off valve. Now I don't get the cold shock when I turn the shower head back on.

    Strange Electrical Issue

    Those voltages should be the same, equal with nothing connected. There should be no drop. Something is drawing current for there to be a voltage drop.

    If you have a valve for drawing in antifreeze when winterizing, make sure it is closed or the pump will draw in air.
