I'm going to completely disagree here, I'll go through it with actual power usages instead of instantaneous Amp measurements and show why... I ran my Vevor diesel heater for 3 nights in a row, 13 to 16 hrs long, on back pati, hooked up to power station and multimeter. Total power used for...

Nothing to worry about there. He was just pointing out that you can out a switch on a circuit anywhere on the wire to break the circuit--either before the load, on the positive or hot wire, or after the load on the return ground wire. Either spot breaks circuit. The point he was making is...

1. Appliances... BlueSea fusebox is just for DC, 30A max each circuit, so I hope those are all dc appliances. Dont know what they would be. For me that is: Led lights, 75w 6A Maxxair fan, 36w 3A Diesel heater, 110w 10A Usb and cigar dc ports 120w 10A All this is fed with an xt60 30A plug on...

All the circuits should be fused or protected by a circuit breaker at least. This should be between power source and the load. The fuse protects the wire, size it at 125% the wire ampacity. I use a 12 circuit BlueSea fuseblock. If your power source is a "power station" and not a battery, it...

Nice solution. I put mine in the cab while driving last week, then moved it to camper when I parked. Bit of lugging but worked ok. Your pecron goes to -4f, a pretty good way below freezing, but you unfortunately saw -10 :( I'm thinking about putting a small AGM back there, to get diesel...

Need a good indoor outdoor thermometer for truck camper, WIRED, that doesn't break... too many on Amazon to sort through. Everything has hundreds of 1 star reviews saying it breaks in a week... Need something folks here use that works, thx!

Here is a guy who put a barn door on his Tune M1. He posted several videos on it, and it looks pretty repeatable. I just got my Tune installed this week, it is fantastic. Here is a pic. I tried to post a link to his video, but FB said no. You can join the Tune M1 Owners group at FB and...

That is a really nice setup.

Ahh, yep! Use by Jan 2023... temp was 70f in the sun. Got a 2nd tube delivered today, softer, but still Use bu Dec 23...

I like the e1500LFP from Pecron. Have used with 330w solar, and 130w, tested both inputs, worked great. The app works great without issues. One of the best things that no one has mentioned is this: the dc output is 13.2 to 13.4v!! This is fantastic, because 1. You can now use dc out to charge...

I have a popup truck camper shell being installed this week, a Tune. In preparation, I sealed up holes in my Tacoma truck bed to stop dust and water. Videos and posts I saw recommended Sikaflex 505uv. I used a tube yesterday, ordered from Amazon the day before. I almost couldn't squeeze it...

I looked at Exoflow delta2 max. Unfortunately, it has weak 12v dc support, I would nor recommend it as the basis for a truck camper.eit doesn't have anything over 10A 126W to run to a dc fuseblock distribution, which isn't enough. You could try to jerry rig plugging 3 individual items into...

Doh!! I just looked and my Pecron s1500LFP has same -20c or -4f limit! I didn't expect it would cut off power though. Great tip! Maybe I should drive with power station in cab, then move to camper once parked, so I can get heater going! Thx for the tip, I have a trip to/from Denver this...

Wow, I am so glad I didn't order one of these. A year to get one installed!! All while they have 100% of your $$. I like the design, may get one later once install delay is down to 2 months or so... For my current truck, getting a Tune installed thus week, mid Oct 23 order.

For how long? You say they are OK, but there are post after post on the solar forums of people THIS YEAR installing them and having delamination... what brand and panel did you use, and how did you attach?

NO, the Wave3 would not be better. It burns combustion products INSIDE the camper, not exhaust outside like diesel, so tons of moisture inside. Like 600ml, almost a quart, from running 8 hrs, saw a calculation yesterday. 95% of all the reports of issues on diesels I see, folks have blatant...

Can you tell what type of polycarbonate panels, where you get them? Also, I'm confused, does air go UNDER the polycarbonate panel, between it and the roof? Or between the solar panel and the polycarbonate, so they can flap all around? What exactly are you doing to keep the solar panels...

I have seen folks mount them on an aluminum sheet, but then report they cracked because the aluminum expansion in the heat. This is at DIYsolarForum.com I'd like to use them too for weight, but all reports I see are 1 to 2 years then delamination or cracking, too expensive to replace...

After researching electric kettles for hours, bought a 1.5L Cosori with double wall stainless. So that means no seams inside to leak, and insulated to hold heat. Love it, high quality, nothing to break. Just tested it, 93wh to boil 1 L water from 72f, exactly correct amount, 100% efficient...

Uhm, I'm not the thread owner and don't own one. Im getting a Tune. However, the thread OP got rid of his GFC, moved to a Tune. Better size and construction. Like I said, seems like half the folks buying (Tune, topo topper, AT Overland, LonePeak, Dirtbox, OVRLND, Project M, etc) all started...
