    Generators Inverter or generator

    WRONG! Printed literature is far less than the legal door sticker... probably the printed specs take into account every option, full of liquids, etc. AND every Promaster I own has a different capacity on the door jam. The first one I bought was 4,317, the second was 4,407, the third was 4,388...

    Generators Inverter or generator

    Ah... everyone knows my trucks... everyone I care to anyway. If you have a Promaster, you SHOULD know it's 9,350 GVW. Like I've said many times, why don't you just worry about your own truck and I'll worry about mine. You don't get a vote in my corporation! :p

    I know you can't "give" me any of what you're taking but can you sell me some?

    Generators Inverter or generator

    I usa a 3,500 watt "suitcase" generator that weigh 69 lbs. and one AGM battery... which works fine in all situations... in our Promasters, which leaves more than 4,000 lbs. load capacity.

    Generators Inverter or generator

    If you can't afford both a generator and battery/inverter but who wants to run a generator just to charge a phone, or watch TV, or keep your food refrigerated, or run your computer, or... Who wants to tend to a generator every so often every single time they stop? A battery/inverter allows you...

    Generators Inverter or generator

    If you are going to run an air conditioner, the answer is to have both. The generator to run the air conditioner and the battery / inverter to run everything else.

    Cost me $2,468.00 six months ago, including tax, NOT including a battery or inverter which was another $1,300.00! :eek:

    Garmin getting retarded

    After stopping for any reason (fuel, food, bathroom,etc) the first instruction my Garmin gives is ALWAYS wrong! It seems to delight in sending me the wrong way out of any parking lot. I must remember where I was going and follow my own reasoning to get back on track. After that, my Garmin is...

    Refrigerator help!!!!

    No. The fan has to get the freezing air into the fridge compartment directly, on demand. If you don't see a fan between the frozen side and fridge side, there is no fan. Your fridge is likely cooled by coils activated by the temperature control. I'd still focus there or possibly on the temp...

    Refrigerator help!!!!

    Remember to allow 10 minutes or so between adjustments on the temperature dial.

    Refrigerator help!!!!

    I doubt really seriously that defrosting is a solution unless you have inches of ice on the coils. A quarter inch or so of ice on the coils is no problem functionally.

    Refrigerator help!!!!

    If you don't see a fan, there isn't one. The problem must be the temperature selector and/valve/sensor/switch. something there is not working properly. You need to focus your attention there.

    Refrigerator help!!!!

    Clearly your compressor and coolant are fine. That's not the problem. Your fridge is just not getting the cooling from the coils to the fridge part. Look for a small fan, and/or a temperature sensor/selector as the only possible problem. It's a relatively simple system. Just figure out how...

    Refrigerator help!!!!

    On many home refrigerators there is a small fan that blows air from the freezer side to the refrigerator side when required. You may check that because that fan may stop working if you have one.

    Data...data...need more giga bites

    I believe Verizon is your only choice for excellent data. Pick the price of the data you can afford!

    Let's Compare Phone Plans, Shall we?

    I pay the big coin for my Verizon gold plated truck phone. My co-driver uses a Samsung Note 2 on a Net10 monthly plan. Her phone usually works as well as mine but the data is VERY SLOW if at all while mine always has fast data. I pay $100 a month while she pays $46 a month. You get what you...

    New cell carrier recommendation?

    I really think it is Verizon or poor/slow data.

    New cell carrier recommendation?

    There are inexpensive signal amplifiers available. I think I still have one somewhere around here. It consists of an antenna that you mount as high as you can facing the tower that serves you, about 40' of coax, and a transmitter you place in an optimal location in your home. The farther...

    New cell carrier recommendation?

    I just went through all this for my co-driver. You say that "fast, cheap data is a priority". Well in my experience, there is no such thing. All the cut rate plans have small (1-1/2 GB) allowances before they choke your speed down to 2G speed IF YOU CAN EVEN GET COVERAGE, which data coverage...

    Cell Carriers

    I agree. If Verizon says its the jetpack, and you have the jetpack secured against use, turn the jetpack off when its not in use, along with the laptop(s) or other devices you have that connect to the jetpack. As you have a jetpack, you must be using it to connect something to the internet...
