Portland is famous for the "72-hour" rule about parking RV's or TT's on the curb, regardless of all circumstances like "I'm making repairs". No sympathy, just tow warnings followed by a tow truck in a couple days.
Gotta find a friendly driveway or backyard to get safely parked.
Latest books for improving crumby old RV's:
"Wiring 12 Volts for Ample Power" Revised Edition 1995 by Smead
"Living on 12 Volts with Ample Power" Revised Edition 1998 by Smead
Both of these books are concerned with sailboat electrical/mechanical machines, switching, battery design and feeding, and the #1 load of refrigeration. Sailboats demand a level of quality in power systems that RV's and Travel Trailers (even the aluminum twinkie-shaped ground-aircraft models) are never built with. If your sailboat has a problem with electrical, the vessel could be lost and everyone die. In a road vehicle, everyone could be terribly inconvenienced by staying at a bedbug motel.
First chapters start with theory and tools and moves on to the practical.
The books came via InterLibrary Loan and Multnomah County Library.
