The question becomes is the original news the truth or the correction that it's all a load of hooey?
Can AI help with that decision or will it just grab the most quoted/popular one online and therein lies the opportunity for bad actors to swamp the net with their message. At some stage AI might simply be relying on its own circular logic because people keep quoting its original answer online. Truth in numbers that AI scrapes up perpetually.

Ironically yesterday had a Yahoo news article pop up about these fake headlight rules, then later in the day had a Yahoo news article pop up highlighting these new headlight rules that Yahoo earlier said were fake.

Hi foo
What size dcdc? 20-25a draw a bit over 30 amps, you will need 16mm or 6Awg with a 40. Amp midi fuse.
If you have a 40a dcdc charger, 16mm will work with a 50amp midi fuse, some people find (particularly on longer cable runs, like to caravans) that they can't get 40 amps out of the charger because of volt drop into the dcdc charger and need to go to 25mm or 4Awg
If you are going a 50amp plus dcdc you will need 25mm or 4Awg and a 60 amp midi or maxi fuse.

Do you have an agm battery or lithium?
If it's lithium you really need a shunt to be able to monitor your battery state of charge. I would recommend victron 500a smartshunt ($110) or Victron BMV-712 ($200) if you want a display. Victron are the industry leader, have a Bluetooth app for setup and monitoring and are very reliable.

What size inverter do you have? 1000-1500w and you will need a minimum of 35mm or 2Awg with a 100 or 150amp fuse
A 2000w inverter will need a minimum of 50mm or 0Awg cable and a 200amp fuse.
A 3000w inverter will need  a minimum of 70mm or 2/0Awg but 95mm  3/0Awg or  120mm  4/0Awg is preferred depending on run length. You will need at least a 250 -300amp maxi fuse and fuse holder.
I hope this helps you out Foo,
Please ask if you have any questions
Lloyd

The list of countries surprised me by who isn't there

The entire Middle East, India, Pakistan, most of Africa ...

Or are all of them already on the "Got to get a real licence" list

I suspect we know Bird with the shortage of truckies why they don't know the height of their rig anymore and can't read the flaming bridge clearance height anyway-

Not to worry the brains trust are right onto it with skilled immigration and whacking them through uni

In breaking news I see I've missed my calling with the AI thing-

The TI-L has a centre console fridge. Keeps drinks icy cold whilst driving.

Thank you for posting that.
