Dutch061 said:I don't believe that you will damage the alternator with a Standard Lead Acid (SLA) battery or an Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery. The amperage will be regulated by the size of wiring that was installed or the circuit protection (fuse or circuit breaker) that was installed with the auxiliary wiring. Plus, the resistance of either the SLA or AGM chemistry will closely match the OEM battery in your Subaru.
However, when you upgrade to a Lithium Battery it will become a must in order to boost the voltage to the required level to charge Lithium. In addition, due to the very low resistance in Lithium, there is a potential (based on wire size, length, etc.) to draw more amperage than your tow vehicle is "comfortable with" (IE blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker up to damage or life shortening of components). A DC-to-DC Charge Controller will limit this to a "comfortable level" (IE fuse or circuit breaker protection and damage prevention).

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.
We did cover a lot of ground but it was so enjoyable to see so many different landscapes.Sharon_is_SAM said:Wow! You've been busy. Your National Park trip covered a lot of ground in a short time!
