My semi-educated guess is that the 4 runner can not supply 30A at any voltage that is useable for charging. The fuse is there to protect against the worst case scenario of a dead short to ground. As has been harped on here many times, the wiring in the vehicle causes a voltage drop that is proportional to the current. I…
I just installed an Isotherm 2 way in my 2019 320. IMPORTANT! You must put it all the way to the left in the space because there is a wood piece with 4 pocket screws covered with foil (to keep the heat down from the old gas ones flame) but this wood also is the support for the complete counter top on the right side so I…
Here's a response to my question from etrailer.com. Thank you for asking the following question: We currently tow a Little Guy trailer very small tear trailer GVRW is about 1000 lbs. with a 2inch ball hitch. Tow Vehicle is a 2011 Toyota 4 Runner with a tow capacity of 5000 lbs and tongue weight of 500 lbs. Were considering…
Tell me about the sticker shock for the hybrid! I traded in my Toyota Prius (47 mpg), and for a moment considered the hybrid version. I know I am going to have gasoline pump shock now as well, but the Subaru just wasn't cutting it. I too came to the conclusion that there was no way I could justify the price differential…
Thanks for the responses - all good input for me to think about. @source3 we looked at those other trailers and decided on the Tab because we were looking for more of a compromise between a full sized (small) travel trailer and tent camping or sleeping in my wife's 4-runner that we've done for so long. Our Tab fits that…
The truck could get out fine using the rocking method. It just couldn't get out of the swamp with the camper hitched up. The site had a slight upward angle to the paved road (hard to see in picture). The camper had sunk into the swamp (tires where board is floating). I must say, the 4x4L mode on the truck disables the…
rh5555 posted: LiTime batteries just call for charging at 14.4V ± 0.2V (which is what I'm doing) all the time. A High Voltage Disconnect (HVD) can occur even if you're charging a 12v 4s lifepo4 battery at significantly LESS than 14.40v, say 14.00v. Here's two examples that will hopefully clarify how unbalanced cells cause…
