Time to Go Out Camping - Is All Your Equipment Ready? Even Your Battery?

!±8± Time to Go Out Camping - Is All Your Equipment Ready? Even Your Battery?

Yes it is spring time. Time to uncover the camper, get it out of storage, pull the gear out of the basement. Get the dust off the folding chairs. Clean and re-sterilize the cooler. Got enough propane? How about bug spray and sunscreen? Load up the camper or the trunk. Fill the gas tank and ready to go for that weekend of fun and relaxing. Later in summer you will be ready for the full week get-away. Meet the friends you see once a year and make new ones at the campgrounds.

Did you think about the battery in your car or the camper? I bet you checked the batteries in your flashlight. Batteries in the radio (you do have one for emergencies don't you)? I think most people don't consider the car or camper battery. But when you are loading or unloading; when the kids charge their mp3 player or you charge your cell phone, some battery power is used. And if your battery is a little old or it was sitting all winter, it may not take much to run it down to the point it won't start your engine.

Do you have jumper cables?

Seriously, if you have a camper it is best to keep the battery charged up during the time it is in storage. Modern vehicles use power constantly. There are emission controls that run while the vehicle is parked. There is also electronic memories for the radio and other things. Many cars will kill the battery, a new battery, in three weeks if you don't run the engine. (It happened to me!)

Even on older vehicles, or no vehicle, the battery will self discharge as it sits. It will go dead even if you take it out of the camper and put it in your basement! I used to do that so it wouldn't freeze, make sure it was on a piece of wood so the charge didn't get "sucked out" through the concrete floor. Then charge it up in spring so it would be ready.

Those things all help. But there is a better way. The new battery chargers (there are many brands) keep your batteries charged. This is important that you don't want it to go too low in charge. They don't completely recover from very low charge. A deep cycle battery will do better at this but they have their limits too.

The chargers I am talking about will switch from charging to maintaining automatically. The maintaining is a low power charge that allows the charger to stay connected to your battery for long periods. It will sense when the battery needs a little and keep it fully charged. There are several brands available in many variations. They can be very small, like the size for a printer or other electronic tool. Others can charge several batteries and multiple connectors for them. There are waterproof variations for watercraft.

The one type I like best is the solar powered charger. They come with their own solar cells that can be mounted or can sit on your dashboard. They come with a plug for the power port on the dash so you don't have to hook wires up under the hood! Just think how handy this can be! Go camping and you don't need to plug in somewhere. There are a lot of great campgrounds that don't offer electricity. There are several sizes available. Power for one battery or all your camping needs.

They are good for your other toys too. The ATV or jet ski can stay on the trailer and still get charged if you store it outside. Now you have room for your car in the garage! If you keep your boat in the water the solar charger can go on the boat to keep it's battery charged up. It will be always ready.

This is the best way to keep your battery ready for camping.

RV Tip: Troubleshooting a 12-volt DC Problem

!±8± RV Tip: Troubleshooting a 12-volt DC Problem

If you enjoy RVs you already know that a major part of the fun with RVing is getting away from everything. You can just pack up the RV and head out to get some well deserved rest and relaxation without having to deal with the hassles of day-to-day living. These restful, relaxing, memory making RV trips should not be jeopardized by something as simple as a 12-volt electrical problem ruining your vacation.

If you've been RVing for any amount of time you are already aware that a good portion of the devices and accessories in your RV operate off of 12-volt DC power. 12-volt DC or Direct Current is electricity supplied by the RV batteries. DC electricity flows in one direction, from negative to positive. 12-VDC electricity is stored in the RV batteries and supplies power for components, devices and appliances that operate off of 12-volts.

These 12-volt devices include overhead lights, the water pump, vent fans, furnace fan, range hood fan, LP gas leak detectors, stereos, 12-volt TVs and the refrigerator when it's operating in the LP gas mode. When you go camping you rely on these 12-volt items to operate properly, especially if you're dry camping without hook-ups. So what do you do when one of these 12-volt items quit working?

For the sake of an example let's say that we are dry camping and our 12-volt water pump quits working.

I am convinced that just about anybody is capable of troubleshooting a 12-VDC problem, and in many cases repairing the problem without it ruining your camping trip. For starters you will need a couple of simple tools to assist you in troubleshooting your RV's 12-volt electrical system.

1). An inexpensive 12-volt test light.

2). A multi-meter that can test for DC power.

Both of these are available at local auto parts stores. You should also keep some electrical tape, various size wire nuts, 12-volt light bulbs and 12-volt fuses on hand. Check the amperage of the fuses used in the power distribution box and keep an assortment. If you're aware of any inline fuses used on any of the 12-volt devices keep these on hand too.

Now, try to determine the last time the water pump actually worked. Did you leave the RV for a period of time with the pump on? Is there water in the fresh water holding tank? Were you working on or around something else that could have affected the operation of the water pump? Try to think of all possible scenarios. Something might jar your memory resulting in a quick fix to the problem.

If not, the first step is to verify that the coach battery or batteries are charged enough to supply power to these 12-volt items. There are a couple of ways to perform a quick test on the coach batteries. You can use the monitor panel to check the condition of the coach batteries. To get an accurate reading make sure the RV is not plugged into electricity and turn on a couple of overhead lights to place a small load on the battery. Check the reading at the monitor panel. (If you check the reading at the monitor panel when the RV is plugged in to electricity it will give you fully charged reading) A more accurate method is to test the battery with a multi-meter. Set the meter to read 12-VDC and place the negative test probe on the negative battery terminal and the positive test probe on the positive battery terminal. A fully charged battery will read in the range of 12.6 to 12.7 volts. If it reads less than 12-volts it is below a 50% state of charge and will need to be charged.

If the battery is fully charged, the next step is to make sure that any battery disconnect switch for the coach battery is turned on. If the battery disconnect switch is on, verify that other 12-volt devices in the RV are operating properly. If there is 12-volt power to the interior of the RV you need to check the fuse for the water pump in the power distribution center. Determine which fuse is for the water pump (fuses are normally labeled) and find a suitable ground for the 12-volt test light. Test both sides of the fuse for 12-volt power. If the test light only lights on one side of the fuse replace it with the proper size fuse and try the water pump again. If there was power at both sides of the fuse check for 12-volts at the water pump switch. If there is voltage, and the switch is operating properly check the water pump wiring for an inline fuse.

Find a good ground for the 12-volt test light and probe the wire on both sides of the fuse. If there is only power on one side of the fuse replace it with the proper size fuse and test the pump again. If there is power on both sides of the fuse check the water pump wiring connections at the wire nuts. It's possible for connections to come loose due to excessive vibration. Correct any loose connections and try the pump again. If the pump still doesn't work feel the motor to see if it is hot to the touch. If the motor is hot, a thermal breaker may have been triggered. Allow the pump time to cool off and see if it re-sets itself.

If you complete all of these tests and there is 12-volt DC power coming to the water pump motor, and it still doesn't come on, chances are the water pump is bad and it will need to be replaced.

Troubleshooting a 12-volt electrical problem in your RV is not that difficult. Follow the logical path of the device you are troubleshooting and see if you can determine where the problem is. It might be possible for you to save your well deserved vacation, some money and a trip to the RV dealership too.

Note: If you don't feel comfortable performing your own maintenance or troubleshooting the 12-volt electrical system, take your RV to a reputable repair center to have it checked out and repaired

Happy Camping!

Solar panels (photovoltaic panels) convert light into electricity. Usually on a roof of a house they mounted systems can be installed and a solar tracking system are to improve efficiency. The electricity produced, both for commercial solar cells or homemade solar panels, is a battery and / or DC-AC inverter-fed. Many smaller applications, boats and recreational vehicles do not drive. With sufficient power, a system capable of providing all the electricity in your homeNeeds. However, the investment is considerable. The installation of a 6-week comprehensive home can cost more than $ 40,000.

With the brand Coleman ICP produces glass plates covered with a plastic frame weather-resistant, cables, leads to the battery (to avoid overload), a charge controller and protection diode to prevent discharge into the night. Your cells are made of amorphous silicon. Even if the panels are much smaller for small applications available to use for the products include a full-scale 130-WSolar Charger with 8 amps of 16.5 V output at a price of about $ 1,000. The dimensions are 59.75 "x 28.5". Two windows to the 260W costs about $ 2000 and provides three options panel provides 390 W for your jumbo-camper or boat $ 3000. In just over a week for a cabin would be nine grid panels for more than $ 9,000. Six weeks for a house would cost $ 15,000.

Homemade solar panels can save $ 10,000 or more the cost of wood. Multi-crystalline silicon solar cells will be available at a lower priceat $ 0.10 / W. For example, a package is ($ 1.38/cell) of 138 solar panels for about $ 190 each 3 "x 6" cell delivers 1.7 watts of 3.5 amps to 0.5 volts corresponds to 100 MW / sq inch the normal output for multi-crystalline silicon solar cell. The cell size can vary, but MW / m not inches. This means a cost of $ 0.80 / W.

A huge pot (17 sq m) with 138 cells would be 235 kW. However, a configuration more manageable, two 39 "x 39" (8.5 m) panels of each delivery118 W. Another possibility would be three 29 "x 29" panels (5.7 square meters) will offer 78 W each. Six orders flat enough to generate nearly 1.4 KW for $ 1,141, enough to make serious dent in your electricity bill or the performance of a hut. A whole house (6 KW) may be supplied with solar energy in the house for about $ 5000.

At a price of $ 220 or 15% more, a DIY kit for the above package includes cells (138), 150 'wire Tab, 25' wire bus, diodes 6A and pens flow. Comparison with the cost$ 15,000 for 6 KW of solar panels Coleman. In addition, multi-crystalline cells, compared with solar modules Coleman amorphous silicon cells require more time. In general, the life of a new roof or more matches. Of course, the wiring in the home solar panels, and require the construction of a frame.

What is the Best Camping Lantern for you?

!±8± What is the Best Camping Lantern for you?

Have you thought about the lantern camping lantern would be the best for your camping trip be? Sure is nice by the fire in the night, but if you have to rummage through your tent then the fire does not help, like a lantern.

I remember camping with my family when I was a kid. We had a camping lantern that needs a liquid fuel, and my father has always warning to stay away from him, for fear of knocking back and spread fireeverywhere. Fortunately, there are a variety to choose from these days so that we do not need to have specific fears.

However, most lanterns on the market these days is still difficult to determine if they use candles or propane gas or LPG. In this sense, it should be noted that, even if they can not pay the danger they were years ago, can still be very hot and still cause fires if not used properly.

I have a couple of lanterns, the battery can be seenand have operated fluorescent light. This type of lantern is ideal for the inhabitants of the real city that has just tried to get away with his family for the weekend. They have a lantern, as this is obviously much more suitable for children and not have to worry about one. The only problem with this type of lantern is the battery life and the fact that something is difficult to dispose of batteries for the environment. If you opt for a light battery, then it would be a good idea to look into some of themType of LED technology. These little lights last for an incredible number of hours from its battery source. You might also consider dragging the solar batteries and a charger, he used every night.

For the winner of a type of good lighting, camping lantern, I would opt for a kind of lantern gas. Coleman is the first choice for many campers, but if you're on foot or by canoe, then you might consider something LPG fuel. Not because I reallygive a better light, but because they are smaller and lighter to carry. The Coleman lantern hardly fit in a backpack. The Coleman that work very well when and how the flame heights LPG models are adjustable in order to guarantee lasts "longer.

My personal favorite campsite lantern is the lantern. These guys are small and light and, in my opinion the greatest camping gadget ever. You are a telescopic tube which is specially formulated for a candle burns that lasts up to nineHours. The candle burns all night and the flame height from the spring that pushes the candle up as it melts regulated. The candles are designed so that essentially dripless and smokeless, which is an advantage, because if they are burned there is no need to carry around an empty gasoline can take care of your campsite. All that remains is a half-inch of wax, designed to burn as you can safely toss in letting the fire to melt away. They provide enough lightread by, but not so much that it hurts your eyes when you wake up at night (I use in my tent during the night). I recommend that the fire in the tent, but if you decide to use it, you'll find that the top will help shed some 'light to dry the air condensed from your breath, get rid of the "sleeping bag, wet bag Helps in the morning" feeling. They are also allowed a few degrees in temperature inside the tent, which is a bonus if you give in spring or campsite. Drop

No matter what type of camping lantern you choose, you should be aware that if you have batteries or containers to get a campsite, you must take when you leave. Our parks and forests will be nice for people to leave their rubbish everywhere. Be responsible.
