Re: Fresh water pushing out glycol from the Alde
The Alde
glycol plumbing is completely separate from the domestic hot and cold water
plumbing. Unless you did something very, um, creative, there is no way changing out a faucet would cause
this to happen.
I can think of only one way that what you describe could occur, and it's not pretty... If the Alde core was corroded a hole could form between the glycol chamber and the internal HW tank. As you ran water under pressure through the Alde HW tank, it could seep into the glycol chamber. This would overfill the Alde's glycol plumbing, which would ultimately overflow at the expansion tank (which IIRC is behind the toilet in a 2016 CS-S) causing a leak of glycol under the trailer at that location.
I'm guessing here, but given my understanding of T@B plumbing, I don't see any other plausible explanations to what you describe. Again, this would have nothing to do with changing the faucet. If what I'm thinking is correct, it would be just a very peculiar coincidence.
Re: DC-DC Charger
What I have found is the following.
1. A DC-to-DC Charge Controller can act as a relay, preventing the tow vehicle battery from being drained.
2. A DC-to-DC Charge Controller will limit the amperage that can be used to charge the battery bank, providing alternator protection.
3. A DC-to-DC Charge Controller will boost the voltage to provide the correct charging voltage to a lithium battery bank.
4. A Victron DC-to-DC Charge Controller can be configured to use with a Smart Alternator. Other brands-models may be able to do the same.
Most of the time the gauge (size) of wiring between the 7-pin connector and the voltage source will prevent excess amperage that could damage an alternator. Even so, the difference in voltage from what the alternator produces and what Lithium batteries require will prevent them from ever truly being charged.
In the case of my 2021 F-250 truck, by installing a DC-to-DC Charge Controller I was able to go from 2 to 4 amps of charging rate to 18 Amps at 14.6 volts. Which is exactly what was expected based on the components I chose.
Bottom line as I have mentioned many times, the benefit of Lithium batteries only applies to those who boondock. If you spend the majority of your time plugged into shore power, it makes zero sense to spend the money.

I think that the issue is ensuring sufficient sludge storage capacity until they can get to a place to get rid of it, not the process of getting rid of it.Passport said:Why not devise a sewage hose leading from the cassette tank to the in-ground sewer opening? Some local company that deals in plastic welding should be able to help you-especially if you supply the parts

Inappropriate yes, but also unsanitary and usually illegal. The National Park Service, the US Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management all prohibit dumping human waste on their lands. The same is true for many other US and State agencies.CCC said:Is it inappropriate to dig a hole out in the woods and dump the cassette there? Assuming you not in an established camping area?
