Thanks Again Karl.
And agree with the comments that a wiring diagram would make Mods/Troubleshooting much simpler The must use something at the Factory?? |

Thanks Mike. It is the engineer in me. I am pretty confident in being able to trouble shoot stuff if I have accurate documentation. Where can I post the request to FR?

You may also wish to Purchase a "Kill-A-Watt (tm)" meter if you are worried about the AC voltage coming from the site outlet. It simply plugs into an AC outlet. It is quite accurate...reads to one tenth of volt, and also allows you to plug in an appliance to check on amperage used.

I like the idea of a voltage meter. I had one of these for each battery bank in my boat since we tended to spend a lot of time swinging on the hook (boondocking.) They only pull 3 mA max. If I did a lot of rustic camping I'd add one to the pod too.

For checking the charge on my fishing boat's battery, I use one of these http://tinyurl.com/6t89qxw on my boat and tied it into this device with a cigarette lighter plug. On the boat I mount the thing on the hull with velcro. I've put a block onto the hull for wiring things together.
I was thinking of doing something similar on the pod. Velcro would not be my choice for a mount on the r-pod. I'm not sure how I want to mount this stuff yet. Another option is to buy a battery box with a built in meter. http://tinyurl.com/7u4amar |
