You are smart to do what is best for your family. You have choices and do what you feel is best. I am sorry people were so cruel. I appreciate the help with the black tank and glad you are safe. I am waiting to see my RV stored in Oxford on Nov 5th.
I’m glad your safe, I’m in Venice Florida my house didn’t get destroyed thank God, the repairs from Ian were good and up to code, where I live so much devastation,but one thing about Florida we people come together and help each other,day 5 with out power but we are alive keeping generator running for my moms oxygen and medical equipment I’m so happy your family safe God Bless
People are strange, you do you, glad you and your family are ok, I'm assuming all the RV parks that were affected will take a while to clean up and dry out that's going to make finding another spot difficult as everyone else will be in the same situation, won't they?
You made the right decision. Just ignore the haters. There are a lot of kooks out there. Victron systems are nice, but every system has certain limitations. We can set the charger in our 48v Sungold Power all-in-one from 0-40 amps in 5-amp increments. We set ours to 20 amps so if we're charging from our generator, we can get a good 1,000w charge while running our other appliances like A/C and microwave without overloading the 5,500w generator. I would have thought that 18 amps at 25.6 volts (460watts) would easily run on a regular 15a circuit (you would just need an adapter or 2, and maybe an extension cord to reach the plug) - or does it draw 18 amps at 120v, not output 18amps at 24v nominal? Anyway, it's academic now. Glad you're all safe. Hope the water resides quickly so you can get back to normal soon.
@@SuperSushidog 18.5 amps is the input limiter lowest setting at 120v (with parallel inverters, with single inverter the lowest is only 9 amps at 120) so 2,200 watts which will trip an 15amp breaker. Setting the charger rate is completely different from the input limit, but the input limit has to be more than the charger rate. I have a whole other video about it ua-cam.com/video/9znwS_tUKD4/v-deo.htmlsi=ZADC5XM2CTowkx15
If this were a few years down the road, I would have been in North Carolina waiting for the weather to get cooler in Florida to spend the winter there in a trailer. Times have changed, so has my plans for retirement.
So happy you, Kim and the puppies are safe! RV and boat too! Great idea on the battery charger system! Stay safe!

@@gracemclaughlin6662 thank you, hope your power is restored soon. We still have no place to go at the moment, hopefully soon 🤞🤞
Glad to see everyone is ok. 2 huge hurricanes in such a short time is not fun.
@@davesauerzopf6980 been a busy hurricane season, may have another next week and we are still homeless at the moment
Voltage and ohms test the heck outta that system, man. 115 to 125 ohms on those can wires. Glad you and your family are safe
I'm glad you guys made it thru the storm.
@@kenpolzel412 thank you, it was a nasty one for sure
God bless you and Kim brother!
@@PhilMarshall-b4k 🙏🏻🙏🏻
As a fellow Cougar owner impressed with how much you can store in that pass through. I think the morryde cargo tray cut my storage room in half.
@@geraldandbrandy yeah not a lot of space especially with the batteries in there, we don’t have that much stuff thought really. Just seems like it.
as long as family ok is cool, ignore those hate commence.
@@gooseaman 🙌
Well wishes to you and yours. Focus on the positive
Fill us in on that electrical system. Gotta check out previous videos on it.
@@ImNotHereToArgueFacts thank you 🙏🏻, here our Victron play list ua-cam.com/play/PLXL0DAEhCeew8ymmeXnQZbforpQDwK_e3.html&si=gtXxpaCA83aBVbVk
@@saltytrips Woah. That'll take me week! Thanks
Herd North Carolina nice this time of year.

@@barrycates7360 thank you, its been an ordeal
Glad you made it out ok keep them puppies safe and cool. Looking forward to seeing your new destination.
@@mileshiles1287 thanks, still working on it, hopefully have a place soon 🤞🤞

@@chris31215 pretty much, we are documenting our journey and will post the video once we get back into the RV somewhere 🤞🤞
Wow you know you're getting a lot of rain when you can use a swimming pool as a rain gauge, glad you all are safe.
@@dougwrobinson thank you, now we have to find a place to live. Working on it, we’ll update in the next video.
@@saltytrips We will be watching that as soon as you get it out.
Much better to be in an RV and able to evacuate when needed and bring your home with ability to keep food cold and cook with you
@@Suebearish yeah we couldn’t leave with the RV because of Kim’s work, so we had to stay in the area for now.

Most people that make those nasty comments don’t even live in Florida so have no idea what it’s like dealing with a hurricane
God Bless.

They say we have another one out there in 2 weeks but I don't know and there's three or four more out there in Atlantic

Why not bug out??? Nice solar system ✌🏿🏕
@@marksr8784 we did
Its a front end loader not a bulldozer
@@starsoldier3643thanks that was super important and I’m sure everyone will appreciate that correction, what a horrible mistake.
@@saltytrips lol I don't think it was that important. But I operate equipment so I just couldn't help myself.
I have to say,you and luck with weather sucks 🙏🏻😭
@@Indica..710 this has been a bad year, may have another one coming next week
@@saltytrips stay safe 🙏🏻
F the comments!
@@PhilMarshall-b4k exactly 👍
@@saltytrips did you find a place to live? Water receding?
@@PhilMarshall-b4k still in a holding pattern, hopefully find a place maybe tomorrow 🤞🤞
