Hey guys - We had another great “Off The Grid” trip in our Lithium RV over the Holidays on a ride to Cincinnati, Ohio to to pick up our new BMW i3. The trip was five days and we never plugged one time or stopped at a campground. The battery system operated flawlessly to provide plenty of heat at...
For those who are planning a lithium installation using Lithionics Deluxe BMS, you’ll be happy to know their BMS is comparable and talks to any RV-C protocol display system. I provided some information below regarding the handshake.
Enjoy - Mike
Thanks for the reply - you can install a simple lithium system with a few 100 ah batteries and a lithium charger for around $2500. Generally a full advanced system like mine would coast around $15K. While this is a major amount, when you consider most RV's sell for $100-200,000 its seems more...
You might be better off looking into one of those Lithium Generators - they can be charged when you leave, by your tow car or with portable solar panels. Do a search there is hundreds of them and they work very well for what you're doing.

Just as we all suspected - now these Over-Priced pick-ups are sitting by the dozens on lots - Jeep finally wakes up to realize there's no more idiots like us guys who paid full tilt and begin discounting them!
Oh Well . . . .

Yeah all the morons at the dealers a few months were all talking down to us thinking they were doing us a favor selling us a $45k Jeep for $60-70k pissing off prospective customers. Now there is 5-10 pickups sitting at their dealers. Who is now going to pay $60k for a pickup worth $45k

All Gladiators "wonder" I've driven dozens and they all have the same exact steering problems. If your pickup does not feel like its wondering then no need to worry about it, but it's still defective. Every dealer is fully aware of the problem but no one including Jeep is doing anything about...
Damaged windshields will be the norm for these trucks thanks to their more vertical position all the impact of a rock is asorbed on the glass rather than deflecting it as a slated windshield would

While they are both great trucks - the major difference is the Ford just looks like a pickup and the Jeep looks bad to the bone!
Good luck with your new wheels - let us know what you like and dislike.

The "Manual" transmission logic is designed for you to watch the tach and make correct shifts - If your transmission is auto and it downshifts to 7th or 6th, that is exactly where you need to be to prevent lugging. As I mentioned, I was in M8 and I set my cruise for 65 and my speed got all the...
