New Inverter needed?

My girlfriend’s mom has a 15yr old system and she said that the inverter will shut off, she resets it, and then it shuts off not long after again. I did residential solar for about 2 years with Sunpower but we mostly installed AC solar systems and this is DC so I’m not sure if this is something I should take a crack at. I’ve done panel upgrades and other electrical work pertaining to solar so I feel comfortable replacing the inverter if that’s what’s needed. I have a multimeter and tools for an install and I’m aware of the hazards working near electricity. I haven’t worked in the residential solar field for about 2 years now so I just want some opinions on what might be wrong and if this seems like a DIY project. Thanks for any advice!

Couple questions about paying extra on my loan

This will be my first payment on my first trailer and I am wanting to pay $550-$600 per month to pay this thing off quick. So that equates to $268-$318 extra per month. Is that a reasonable amount to try and pay it off in 4-5 years? And reading online it said something about applying the extra amount to principal only but I’m not sure if that’s right and my lender doesn’t seem to have an option for it. Thank you for any advice :)

Did I buy the wrong kit?

I purchased the roam mini for my trailer and it’s been great but just got the email about price increases now to $175/month for unlimited! I’m afraid they’re just gonna keep increasing. I only use it 4 days a week, I travel for work and stay in my trailer and then back home the rest of the week and have a whole other set of bills to worry about at home. I only purchased the mini because I move projects every few months and I’m not permanently at one place for more than 6 months at a time. If I were to switch to residential kit & plan would I be able to move around once or twice a year without issues? It’s also saying I can’t change my plan but I don’t think any of the restrictions apply to me

I bought this 2024 coachmen clipper 17CBH a few weeks ago and it was never used but sat for some time. Anyways I stepped in a small puddle and tracked the leak to this spot by the water pump. I don’t use the water pump and I’m hooked up to city water. The leak seems to be inconsistent and this is the 2nd time it has happened. I am new to owing trailers and I’m not sure if this is an easy fix or something I need to call warranty about. I would call warranty but they would want me to bring the trailer down I imagine and I don’t want to do that if I can fix it. I probably have most of the tools I’d need to fix this if anyone can point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it and how I can prevent this from happening again

I am really wanting to get an RO system for under the sink so I can stop having to travel to the fish store to buy RO water. I use the RO water because our tap has a higher pH and overall it’s better for my fish so I am wondering what brand to go with and what how many stages I need. I use about 20 gallons per month and it would be nice if the system had some type of valve so tap water can still run without using up all the filter when it’s not needed but that’s not a must have feature. Ideally I would like to purchase from Amazon and I was looking at iSpring models. Any info/guidance is greatly appreciated :)
