I love my bush company RTT, but it's heavy. Once at camp and set up it's just awesome. The only negative is feeling the weight up top while driving.

well, it's done! Everything is working, no breakers popped or fuses blown. The new victron devices all updated their firmware and are functioning great. The first thing I've had to get used to is the fact that the lithium battery holds its charge while it's sitting. I was so used to having...

about 7 years ago I replaced the OEM wiring harness on my cruiser with a new OEM wiring harness. When doing that I replaced the OEM lead from the alternator to the battery with 4 gauge marine grade wiring. So I feel pretty good about it.

That is the power lead from the alternator to a fuse then back to the dc to dc charger. I wanted to fuse it up front near the alternator and not back at the rear of the truck where the DC to DC charger will be. I always thought you should fuse your hot wires as close to the power source as...

this has been very helpful. I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous! Attached is my horrible wiring diagram for how I plan to wire this stuff up (without the switch). What do you think?

That's what I was worried about! OK if I hit an emergency I'll just pull the lithium battery out and use jumper cables! I was concerned that the dc to dc charger is a one way device.

OK I think last question. I had a blue sea battery isolator switch in line on my old setup. It's model 6011 https://www.bluesea.com/products/6011/m-Series_Mini_Dual_Circuit_Plus_Battery_Switch_-_Red Is it safe to use this set-up to jump off my starter battery in an emergency? Making sure my...

That's what I was thinking with one exception.... I"m moving the "house" battery back to the cab and out from under the hood. So that means I need to run new wires and relocate stuff. I also want to continue to use my battery switch that can combine my house battery to my starter battery just...

Thanks for your thoughts! Yes, there is an existing wire from my alternator to my starter battery. On my old setup, I had that wire run to my positive starter battery and then had a wire from that positive post on my starter battery run through a breaker to the positive on my House battery...

Wanted to update and continue to ask for guidance.... Here is what I've accumulated so far in preparation: 1. 12v battle born lithium 100 amp hour battery 2. Victron non-isolated 30 amp dc-dc charger 3. negative buss bar. 4. Victron BMV-712 smart battery monitor 5. Victron solar charge...

I was behind a RHD Nissan skyline yesterday in a fast food drive-thru... kind of comical seeing him try to park and climb across the car to pay and get his order.

I have a snow peak folding fire pit/grill. I have really enjoyed it and it's become a social event in the evening... start a fire, sip on a few beverages while the coals get hot and then cook.

I saw a guy do a YouTube video at overland expo with these guys. Tent looks really cool. A lot of good engineering there! My biggest complaint lately with RTT designs is they are getting heavy!

bump... Christmas is coming soon!

I'm sorry for some reason I never received notifications of the questions! Price reduced to $1600 Here are a few pics of it mounted on my 80 series.

too expensive! I could buy a small camper for that.

Perfect, so in essence the DC to DC is an upgraded version of an ACR? Just ensuring that my starter battery will also get some juice if needed?

thank you all! After a little more research and as suggested here I certainly need a DC-DC charger. Does the DC-DC charger replace the ACR? Meaning, do I take it out of the line and just replace that with the DC-DC?

If this has been covered please link me to the thread!! As the title says I would like to make the jump from Lead Acid to LiPo for my house battery. I am leaning towards a Battle Born 100 amp hour 12V LiPo battery. this battery is about as "dummy proof" as possible with built in hot and cold...

are they made in china? I was just wondering if it was a Chinese new year? I deal with a lot of real estate that is around the furniture industry, when they go on Chinese new year they are off line! You just have to wait.
