    Picked up a Skamper 060s over the weekend, looking forward to getting cozy at trailheads and parking lots all winter

    ^Nice rig, congrats

    Here's an electrical gremlin question for the self-conversion crowd:
    For the past few weeks I've been noticing that my batteries aren't charging. Basic troubleshooting reveals that one of my breakers, a 60A, tripped. My setup is a tap of the main battery running immediately to the 60A, traversing under the flooring in conduit, to a 30A breaker, to the isolated DC-DC charger (victron). I reset the 60A, it tripped again.

    This leaves me with one of three possible diagnoses:

    1) The 60A has somehow gone bad. It's one of these deals: https://a.co/d/4IKirYe
    2) I have a short in the line running through the buried conduit (this would really suck to try to find)
    3) My DC charger is for some reason drawing too much current. But, if this were the case I'd expect the 30A immediately upstream to trip first? (This was the intent of my design)

    Other ideas? I'm replacing the fuse this weekend, I -really- don't want to have to tear up the floor again...

    Yeah you've got the right idea, I'd bet on the 60a breaker being faulty. If you want to rule out the ground short, disconnect the cable from the positive tap and do a continuity test against a good ground.

    This looks pretty nice. If I didn't have my camper would definitely take a look

    The prices of slide in campers are shocking to me. I expect to have $40k in my bus when I'm finished (plus untold man hours). It will have huge solar, batteries, AC, hydronic heat, etc. Plus, you know, a motor!

    I had to work hard to get to 10k for this Uintah camp spot. I got stuck going up to it, with most of the weight on a front tire and the rear diff on a boulder when the van slid sideways downhill a couple feet on a sketch sidehill. Since the rear tires were unweighted the rear locker did not get me out. Almost lost a bead on a front tire. Kids were scared, dog was stressed and I was too - waiting forever for a truck to pull me out that never came.

    The juice wasn't worth the squeeze but the shooting stars, one asteroid, and a rainbow was pretty cool.

    Yeah, why doesn't everyone drive a school bus? A lot of advantages to a slide in without "Countless man hours" involved.

    Different strokes for different folks. The reason there are so many different camper choices and none of them are perfect for everyone.

    That's pretty slick. Wonder what it'll go for. Also wonder what speed and gear you can expect to be in between bakerville and the tunnel.

    That is a super cool vintage camper. It went for 23k last year on BAT. I couldn't pay that though for an underpowered 200k+ mileage vehicle.

    Reading the listing, the current owner/seller put a ton More money and time into it since the last auction.

    Yeah, it's cool, woulda loved to have it in my 20's when I was a dirt bag climber. But now it's just expensive nostalgia.

    That’s a monster stove for such a small space and I would be concerned about downdrafts with a straight pipe like that

    That stove is way too big for the area that it is going to heat. No problem getting an 8 or 10 hour burn though. Just needs some really large windows that can be left wide open all night and day.

    44 degrees yesterday. Warmed up with a nice fire so I could work comfortably. Current plan is to supplement with a Vevor diesel from homey depot on thermostat while up skiing and after the fire dies in the wee hours.
    Have a similar set up in my grain bin ski hut above St Elmo. It'll be fine.
