I agree my limit is in the 20 to 30k range. I’ll only be using it a few times a year and cant justify $60k or something of that nature. Setting up a cargo trailer myself has crossed my mind. Im definitely not opposed to it i just hoped i could find a company that built what im after already.

I have been looking all over online and just not seeing what I really want. I spent most of my time "Camping" on the mountain in the fall. I hunt and it can get pretty cold. The camper I have right now does ok but I need a toy hauler. Most of the commercial trailers I have seen are much fancier...

Never mind I spaced I had asked that on a previous post. I should have reread them sooner. Thanks again.

I did forget something I was going to ask. i was wondering if there would be any possible issues with hooking my generator up to the AC plug on the camper to run TV or what ever and running the batteries with the DLS-55. Running 2 12 volt chargers per say. Should I see if I can turn off the 12...

Thanks for pointing out the negative wire issue. I had no clue about that. You have been quite a bit of help for me doing this. Very much appreciated. I will look into those caps too. I leave tomorrow morning to head up on the mountain. Will be up about 9k ft for a week. I go to hunt but to be...

This is my Temporary install until I order the Solar Panels next summer. I had an old diamond plate took box I can lock up. This way I can back the small trailer this is all mounted on up to the camper and plug it all in. I made it all so I can charge all 4 batteries at once or remove 2 jumpers...

Does the internet Dish Network has really work off of a Dish only?

Honestly I just want some sort of connection. Evenings on the mountain during hunting season are kinda boring. Especially when its snowing and cold. In the past we go to the Lodge and hook up to their WiFi to check messages and what not but it isn't always working very well.

I have done some searching online for some sort of mobile Internet I can use while hunting and camping. I rarely have Cell service. Any suggestions that wont require mortgaging the house?

Works for me. I actually have a temporary set up in mind till I get my Solar panels and take a chance of having to redo anything. I was planning to set everything up in a Plastic Tote and external quick connects out in front of the camper where the original battery boxes are. So I could move the...

That sounds like a good idea to me. I was kinda worried there for a minute. The thought of ruining those batteries had me spooked. I have had them for 4 months and been researching everything I could before messing with them hoping I wasn't going to hurt them. One last question is should I...

If it is something I dont have to do very often then can I do the Iota charger for normal operation and then find a less expensive way to EQ the batteries on occasion? If thats even possible.

I'm starting to think maybe I over did things. Originally all I wanted was to be able to run my furnace all night. I had no idea I was looking at another $1k to even start to get this to work. I head up on the mountain the 15th of next month. Looks like Ill have to wing it with the 2 12v...

After reading through dwh's and Joe917's posts I'm confused a little. dwh you said the Iota DLS-55 would work. Joe said I need a charger that can equalize the batteries occasionally. Will the Iota charger do that?

At this time I cant afford the Magnum Charger. Possibly next year when I can buy the Solar panels. I'm really thinking I should have only bought 2 of the Crown batteries to begin with. I actually got the Batteries for free so to speak. My ex brother inlaw lives with me and I got him to buy them...

Wow I really appreciate all the info you gave. My intention was to run the generator during the day while we are out hunting. Hopefully when I get back everything will be charged up. The only thing that would be running would be the furnace and I plan to lower the temp so it won't run as much...

I looked at Ctek's website and please correct me if I am wrong but I will need the CTEK Multi US 25000 due to the 260ah of my batteries. The other chargers they have are only rated up to 225ah. The 25000 is rated up to 500ah. Is this right?

Any recommendations on Model? I want to avoid charging all 4 at the same time. My fear is the batteries wont be able to fully charge if the Furnace and Camper electrical is using power while the charger is charging. I may be completely wrong about this though. I figured charging 2 at a time...

Last year while hunting I had some issues with my electrical system keeping the heater running all night. Normally would not have been an issue but we had a major snow storm move through the state and it got colder than normal for that time of the year. I sent some emails to Bob and asked for...

That would be really cool if you could post a link for those adapters. I have the Cabelas Shower tent. Years ago I had an old 12' camper with no shower at all. The ex wife told me once that if I didnt make her some way to shower she would take a bath in the middle of the floor of the camper...
