Our family is growing and would like to get back into the ground tent game. Up for sale is our green Mt Shasta RTT (extended) with annex included. This was purchased from CVT
and has been used roughly 30 nights. We loved this tent and it has treated us well in varying weather events from extreme...
All great advice. I know that a 100W panel isn't going to keep (2) 100ah batteries completely charged, but this would only be to shore up my house battery as all of my (extra) accessories currently off of that battery. I oversized my batteries when building my system so I wouldn't have to go...
I've been running my dual battery setup for almost a year at this point. The setup includes
(2) 100 amp hour deep cycle group 31 batteries
Blue sea ACR
Blue sea fuse block with 100amp breaker
Currently running my ARB50 fridge 24/7 and the setup hasn't skipped a beat. If I leave town for a...
There are hundreds of ways to get the job done. I recently built my system and it performed flawlessly on my 9 day tour around Lake Superior. I run an ARB 50 fridge set at 31*, and charged all my camera batteries, phone, go pro...etc from my house battery the entire trip. I decided to go with...
I won't be running any sort of major power out of the fuse block. Charging cell phones, camera batteries, low Watt LED camp lights, and my ARB50 fridge are all that I foresee at this point. Trying to keep my build pretty simple and not add items just for the sake of adding items as I've seen...
Went with a 100 amp resetable cooper breaker seen here: https://powerwerx.com/resettable-circuit-breaker-cooper-bussmann
10GA is probably overkill for what I'll be running... you have a recommendation on a more appropriate size GA to run?
Decided on a game plan:
2 new AGM deep cycle batteries (one as starter, one as house)
Batteries will be isolated through a blue sea 500 amp ML ACR with in cab switch (not sure when I will get around to installing the switch)
House battery will be connected to a 12 circuit fuse block with 100amp...
About ready to get my dual battery set up installed and I've come to a point where I am not sure if there is an advantage one way or another.
I will be running my auxiliary fuse block (blue sea 12 circuit) off my house battery. That connection will be made by running 2GA between the two with a...
Ah! Totally forgot about the drainage holes as they are under my bed mat. Took a look at lunch and that will most likely be the option I go with. Just need to drill it out slightly and should work.
After a bit of research on the forum I feel as though I have a general idea of what I want to do when it comes to a dual battery system. The question I have is how do people normally get their power cables in the bed of their truck? I have a 2016 Tacoma with a shell on top and there doesn't...
