  1. Hi, i'm hoping to get some advice on here regarding my 12v compressor fridge. The fridge packed up and died a few days ago. Its getting 13v happily from the batteries to the back of the fridge. About 10 minutes ago out of nowhere the fridge turned on and started working again. I have no rhyme or reason why, but I bet it hasn't magically fixed itself. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot it and see if maybe its salvageable? The prices for a new fridge is incredibly expensive. Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
  2. Any one got a 12v compressor fridge? I'm not thrilled with our 3 way dometic unit. Something like ICECO, ARB, ENGEL, and countless other offbrands.
  3. I have a 2011 freelander 2 with locking and unlocking fault the fault was intermittent at the start so had battery changed but still have same issue is it possible it needs a new alarm/ lock unlock arieal
  4. I just bought a 2022 AWD pilot special edition and now I want to get a Sea Doo Switch 21ft boat approx. 3300lbs with trailer. Anyone doing this? If I get factory installed towing package with cooler do you think I will have any issues? I'm curious on how it will do on steep boat ramps. I'm in FL so don't need to worry about towing around hills.
  5. We have decided to abandon our trusty pop-up and switch to tent camping this summer. What camping gear have you tent-campers out there found indispensable when you camp with your dog?
  6. thank you so much for your suggestion
  7. I'm looking at a camping fridge to purchase and i'm on a slight budget. Is there any reviews on the Dometic CFF45? Also, recommendations on either the Engel Eclipse or the Dometic CFF45. Engel - $799 currently Dometic $599 currently Any help would be appreciated.
  8. Hello, Does anyone have any recommendations for a shipping company? I need to ship one pallet of stuff (four big rubbermaid containers) from either Marseille or Nice to Canada. Any ideas? I'm totally stuck, and have no idea where to start. (I can't speak French.) Thanks!
  9. Hi , I am looking for a 240v Mig welder around the 180 amp size for general farm welding repairs. It will be for occasional use rather than serious work every day. One of my Herdsman is handy at welding and has used his own 120 amp Mig welder but it's not up to the job for some of the stuff we need to weld. He doesn't fancy using our 45 year old Max Arc stick welder!
  10. i am trying to make a welder from an alternator.i have a bridge diode,and a circut board made to control up to 150 amps.does anyone have an idea or drawing as to how to hook up field power.all of the ones i have read about control current by engine speed or by adjusting voltage going to field.i want to control amperage with circuit board after 12 volts is applied to field.will this work? would i also need an on-off switch on field supply wire.i have read almost every welder alternator write up on the web,most are onboard welders and i want mine to be portable with a seperate engine driving the alternator.i have a 13 hp engine that i will be using.does anyone have a drawing or could make up a drawing with every detail included as i don't read electrical drawings well.Thank-you
  11. Just wondering who on here does sheet metal fabrication? You know making panels for vehicles on cars and hvac and stuff. would like to get into it a little. Just wondering what special tools do u need to do so and for those who own a business what is a majority if your work?
  12. I've got a single garage that's not attached to my house. It's got a concrete base and a rather deep inspection pit.Inspection pit is brick built and pretty deep.I want to fill it. Is there anything I need to fill it with? Also, what about a DPM?It's got about a foot of water in at the moment, probably the water table seeping in.I've got an old concrete shed base I'm going to Kango up so that could go in there but probably the pieces would be too large.
  13. My 15 year old Harbor Freight Auto-darkening welding helmet needs replaced. It isn't switching on properly and drops out while welding. I want to protect my eyes better. What's your recommendation for a good helmet at a reasonable cost? tig vs mig welding
  14. Hi... I'm looking for angle grinder recommendations for shaping and fine tuning firebrick (using a diamond blade). I was looking at Harbor Freight items and was wondering if others have experience with them and how well they hold up. Or if there are other brands to be recommended, I'd like to hear other's experiences / recommendations. Thanks.
