You must use an external power source to charge the battery. http://www.forum.teardrops.net/simpleforum_pro.cgi?fid=02&topic_id=1268175491 Wednesday, 09 February, 2010 14:58:11 hulie any body out there ever use one of these things.??? i imagine my teardrop with the 12volt battery hooked up useing power on a daily basis then when the battery needs to be charged i could cut the power to every thing useing the switch so i could now draw from the battery to charge the battery useing the pwer inverter with a chargeing unit... how's that sound..??? is that the right idea.??? my teardrop will have a roof vent fan lights that turn on when you open the doors and a pump to get wat … http://www.forum.teardrops.net/simpleforum_pro.cgi?fid=02&topic_id=1267927865 Tuesday, 08 February, 2010 17:24:46 hulie go on ebay type teardrop window vintec sells a 14" by 21" both horizontal and side sliders for 65.00 $$ i just bought 2 and id a great window cant beat the price and top of the line they are for 3/4" plywood well the trim plate they give you is or you can order any size up to 4 1/2 " i think.. i did see one under camper window 12" x 12" they have all kinds that kind is a non slider.. have a good one.. http://www.forum.teardrops.net/simpleforum_pro.cgi?fid=02&topic_id=1267812559 Tuesday, 08 February, 2010 16:51:24 hulie sounds a little more complicated jim than i have expireance with sorry when i glue i use gorrila glue and tape and a piece of plywood for preasure against the plywood.. sorry http://www.forum.teardrops.net/simpleforum_pro.cgi?fid=02&topic_id=1266687698 Tuesday, 08 February, 2010 16:47:43 hulie yup all you do is lap the edges about 5'' squirt some silacon in best of all clear kind they have crystal clear.. and rivit it,.. just got to buy a $ 10.00 gun i like the thick kind of rivits you will need a 3/16 drill make sure the hole you drill is perfect not to wide or the seal will not be any good,. when you drill aluminum 2 brand new bits should be fine.. when you squeeze the gun make sure it is square with the rivit or it will break of with a sharp edge.. if that happends just lightly t … http://www.forum.teardrops.net/simpleforum_pro.cgi?fid=02&topic_id=1267740203 Tuesday, 08 February, 2010 15:06:55 Tom E Now that is some kind of a galley.
