    ARB Air Compressor plug melted

    Interesting, the relay went bad a couple months ago but I checked everything and thought it was just the relay. It wasn't until I went to unplug it that I realized something was up because you couldn't tell just by looking at it connected.

    Solar panels, fixed to the roof, adjustable on the roof, or portable?

    I go portable, 2 x 100 watt Renogy panels, one for the Jeep for the fridge, and one for the trailer, or in shady times, both for the Jeep. I tend to park in the shade when possible and I ditched my roof rack on the Jeep. If we are moving everyday we don't deploy them as they are not needed.

    ARB Air Compressor plug melted

    Got it, thanks. Honestly in this situation I could just use a couple Posi-lock connectors as it's not like this gets unplugged often, in fact, it's the first time since it was installed 5 years ago!

    ARB Air Compressor plug melted

    Correcting my previous post, Anderson does make a retention clip for their connectors so I will probably go this route, since I have the connectors, crimping tool, insertion/removal tool as well. Strain relief in this particular case is not an issue. Here is the retention clip: Anderson...

    ARB Air Compressor plug melted

    Those Metri pack connectors are very nice. The Andersons don't have any strain relief for the wires and don't latch, so I am tempted to go this route instead. Thanks for the input!

    ARB Air Compressor plug melted

    2 of my favorite sites! I don't think the radio connector can handle the power draw. The ARB wires are 10 gauge so I think I need to go with a more substantial connector.

    ARB Air Compressor plug melted

    That's the direction I am leaning as the ARB has a 30 amp fuse, and I've got a handful of 45 amp Anderson connectors.

    ARB Air Compressor plug melted

    I had to remove my ARB compressor in my Jeep JK so the dealer can access the brake booster and when I went to unplug it, I found this: This side of the connector is fairly melted however the other side is not. I don't see any other issues with the wiring loom and everything works as it...

    Trying to understand DC/DC chargers

    Many of today's modern vehicles, like my 2013 Jeep Wrangler, have factory systems that run all the time and after a couple of weeks with no charge will in fact run down to the point the vehicle will not start. Having a dual sensing system works very nicely as both the start and the house...

    Solo Stove Bonfire vs Breeo Double Flame

    I doubt it, the only way the Campfire in a Can and the like are approved is because they are considered propane stoves. They don't actually burn any fuel other then propane. However, for somewhere like Anza Borrego where you aren't allowed to have a campfire directly on the ground, the Solo...

    Dstock's M101A1 build... or the reality, I needed a new project!

    Slammed at work so this will have to be a quick answer: I switched my charge controllers around recently. The solar charge controller for the trailer is a Morningstar Sunsaver 10amp and I have a 20amp no name brand off Amazon for the Jeep. The higher amp is in case I have to plug in both...

    Dstock's M101A1 build... or the reality, I needed a new project!

    Yeah I don't blame you, the struts work ok but was still a little bit of a battle. I think I had 50lbs struts, which are still in the garage somewhere...LOL. Momentary DPDT, no issues with RTT mounted on one side. I didn't see any difference in lifting from the tent being to one side...

    Yakima Q-towers with rain gutter clips and locks

    No worries. I've seen those mounted a couple ways, either with hose clamps or I believe I saw someone who drilled the bars and bolted straight through them. I'm not sure if I saw the second method on Expo, might have been on Jeepforum.com
