Field notes
The thread unfolds as a trip log, with the author posting from a parking lot near the Stanley ranger station before adding details from a keyboard later. Replies turn the story into an owner-to-owner troubleshooting exchange: one member asks for overnight battery readings, while another explains the second alternator’s charging behavior above idle. The author reports using the fridge on battery and running the furnace once when the temperature fell to 34°F.
