    You can build up your own paramiters , or algorithms, that determines how you want your load to interact with your type of battety. This is not just about volts and amps, but also how your battety was charged yesterday...... the day before and such. For example, if you battety is 100% charged...

    No it is not. The max rating of the model 75/10 is max voltage of 75 and a max curent of 10 amps. The bigger units are higher. This is the smallest unit they have. The 15 amp is a safety rating to disconnect the the load as it have increased beyond the max design limit. That is NOT considered a...

    The load output on the Vitron 75/10 is not current restricted. It even have a safety disconnect of 15 Amps. I think it is special, to be able to adjust algorithms for the load. It is a feature that of course found on bigger systems, but not as often on small units. I sure like it. Along with...

    Another thing worth mentioning, regarding the Vitron Solar controller, is its ability to supplement your overall electrical control system. F.ex. my Engel cooler does not have a battery protection circuit. So that unit will continue to kill the battery if given the chance. It does not mention...

    I direct wired the battery o the charge line from the tow vehicle. For 115 volt, I use the Noco Genius 10A shore power. Solar is controlled by the Vitron 10A Bluetooth charger. I used one switch on the panel to connect the charge line from the tow vehicle. This way I can select if I want a...

    Amazing how well it works right... :) I like the foldable unit that I use, as it will fit in the front box, and then fold out and can be hung via straps. Bought a 20 foot extension with MC4 plugs on it. Rolling. :)

    Not needed IMHO. If you get over 10 amps then perhaps. I personally run each circuit under 5 amps. The biggest hog is my floods at 27 watts or about 2 amps. The switches on my marine panel are rated at 20 amps each.

    If that is the case, then I would re check the suspension on that side. There should be enough adj. To bring in the chamber, but off course it is possible to have something misaligned from the factory. Electrically, there are many different opinions. One is that if the battery is fully charged...

    Second time out. This time up at Lake Irwin, CO @ 10200 feet. Day temps was around 75 deg, and night time in the mid 40's. I was a bit nervous wrt the size of my solar panel, and small main battery. https://products.interstatebatteries.com/Product/Details/12691 and...

    After our second outing with the trailer, the left wheel drifted a bit, and now has a negative camber as well. I suspect you should see an change when adjusting the outer bolts. It could be that your camber is off so much that the offset washer that you turn simply is not enough to see a change...

    Thank you for the kind words. As with most of my projects, they are one off's. It is not very hard, but is labor intensive, and unless I build moulds for quick layups, it would never pay for itself. I would however encourage you to give it a go. My FB site offers all the help you need... :) :) I...

    Camping among animals that might consider you lunch, or at the very least animals that might ransack your camp at night, I wanted to have perimeter lights that could be removed from the RTT. I found this little device on Amazon. You simply inserts it in between your switch and what your...

    Yeppers...… You adjust the suspension loaded. So the trailer will be on the ground. I had plenty of toe adjustment for both in/out and thrust. I am however out of camber adjustment. I just had enough adjustment to run a 3'ish deg negative camber. One side was at full and the other had a little...

    The thrust angle is set with your toe adjustment as well. Imagine both wheels being parellel but both angled left 10 deg. Your trailer will now ride behind (hopefully) :) and to the left. The main wheels needs not only to be parallel to each other but also to the frame. You can do this a few...

    Sorry. I was referring to the enclosure of the awning.

    Which enclosure is this one. Looks like the touring. We are about to pull the trigger on either that or the deluxe which is about 40 more.
