Installed the 6 LED bulbs I purchased. I stopped at 6 so that I can test them before swapping all the bulbs in the TC and the MH. Wow are they bright!

I installed 6 of these - [image]

- in two double fixtures and two single fixtures. The single really lit the bathroom!

Dak, be sure to remove it when it might rain. Mine did not like moisture.

Thanks for the reminder Raften! I agree, they don't like moisture. I plan on taking it off when I'm driving and when the truck is parked at home. That's why I like it. It's easily removable just by sliding up up and off. I only plan on using it for dry camping out in the middle of nowhere.

Added external battery terminals for using a stand alone battery charger bypassing the converter.

Thanks to bb 94401 for the link to these parts.

Installed a trimetric 2025. Now I know the state of charge of my batteries and the real output from the Elixir converter/charger!

I did the same thing and ended up replacing my old crappy converter/charger for a Boondocker 61amp one. Couldn't be happier with it! [emoticon]
