^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...

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!
ride bikes, climb, ski, travel, cook, work to fund former, repeat.

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.

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.
Brandine: Now Cletus, if I catch you with pig lipstick on your collar one more time you ain't gonna be allowed to sleep in the barn no more!
Cletus: Duly noted.

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.

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.
