    Lithium Battery - Winter Storage

    Installed a new lithium battery in the Spring and have been very satisfied. I was wondering how a lithium battery should be managed during the winter. My battery manual says it should be maintained at 50% SOC. Should I remove it from the trailer tongue and store in my garage or just leave it...

    Storage mod

    I did a couple of modifications to the cabinets above and below the counter top on my 2024 16KN Wolfpup. The cabinet space next to the microwave seemed small so I removed the curved wall that protects the electronics behind it. I increased the size of the space by trimming it down to make it a...
