Re: WFCO 8955-AD jumper
The twist switch is what I called the cutoff switch. You are being double safe which is always a good approach. After completing the install, it was easier than I was anticipating. Good luck, you should be fine.
Re: Rooftop Solar Replacement
Replacing the Victon with something that can handle 200 watts of solar panels would be a drop-in replacement for what you already have (for example, the Victron 75-15 is about $70).
The panels are trickier and more expensive. @Verna has a nice setup (https://tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/12664/adding-a-second-solar-panel). I believe you could add a 200-watt panel to what you already have, but that would require a charger larger than a 75-15.

Re: 400 - stinky slinky storage ?
Finally got my rig out of storage. Here are a couple photos of my setup for the Valterra storage tube. The white zip tie on the cover is to secure it, as I lost the original cap at one point during transit and nearly lost the slinky!
Re: WFCO 8955-AD jumper
I received the Jumper today and successfully installed it. The installation is quite straight forward actually. Tools needed: a phillips screwdriver and a light. Make sure to turn off the 12 volt cutoff switch Step one: remove the trim cover (two phillips screws). Step two: remove the two screws holding the converter on lower front of the power center. Step three: carefully slide the converter out and expose the back by turning it slightly toward the bed. Step four: locate the pins for the jumper shown in the picture from my previous post. Step five:insert the jumper as shown in the picture from my previous post.
Step six: slide the converter back in place and secure withe the two screws. Step seven: Turn on 12 volt power and check for blue light. Step eight: replace and secure the trim cover.
Total time to complete the jumper insertion (converter to Lithium) 10 minutes

Re: No more removing screws and the panel to check my Glycol.
@SLJ I bought a port and intend to follow in your footsteps. This will be in addition to the flexible plastic mirror I already installed to make it easer to see the level in the reservoir.

Your boondock goals are mine as well. Thanks for sharing real life data. Helps me gain confidence in my assumptions.
Re: Another sewer hose discussion!
Since I couldn’t figure a way to mount on the back handles, I tried something different. I just used 4 lashing straps 2 ea to the frame and platform. If this works out I may try to replace the straps with something more permanent.
Re: Another sewer hose discussion!
@GatorEgg replied to one of my "Stinky Slinky" hose threads .....
He posted a picture of what you might be thinking of ? Not sure of what attachments he used to hold the "tube" , but maybe he will reply now to help you out.

In case anyone else needs to sort through what they need to go factory 100ah lithium to twice that plus a shunt to watch it all.
Re: Stargazer Window Attachment Issue
I'm on my third set of front and rear windows, all failed within a year. I now cover the windows with sun-reflecting sheets to prevent damage when parked and also cover the trailer with Allpro cover. Side window have had no problems.
