So I've noticed

I have lived the past year in various climates 100% off of my solar setup. Those magical days are very rare indeed.

Rule of thumb, Imp & Vmp - VOC is only ever going to happen in a lab.

Renogy is a great company, even though the panels are made in China, they are a US based company with great products and service. Zamp is a bit over priced, IMO for the qaulity of panels. The new Eclipse is a great panel, considering the efficeny and size of the panel. I have one of the...

Just Mike. Yes, the controller will stop charging. You can skip this one on the solar. I would consider it an option if you need to work on or have a reason to interrupt the power from the panels to the controller for whatever reason or emergency. As long as you have the breaker though, if...

Your welcome.

Thanks, we've been enjoying the truck. I feel it was the best all around rig for us and our wants. Think it's time for a build thread. Already done exhuast, bed cover, intake and placed my order for White Knuckle Rock Sliders. Working on building a onboard air setup this week. Heck we've even...

The new Winch bumper looks great man. Barton did a great job.

You need to build in some safeties in your specs. My setup might be over kill as I have 805 watts of solar and 400aH of lithium batteries. But you are going to want a breaker between your controller and battery. I'd also suggest a proper bus fuse for the inverter and a master on/off and on/off...

2015 Ram 2500 Power Wagon Laramie She's not just our expo rig, she does full time duty pulling our Airstream across America.

I just picked up this past Tuesday a 2015 Power Wagon Laramie. This is going to be my base for my next expo rig. She's not just our expo rig though, she does full time duty pulling our Airstream across America.

Nope, those are GBS cells. Winston's are Yellow. The lithium cells available to the public are all manufactured in China. The biggest manufacturers are CALB, Sinopoly, Winston and GB Systems (GBS). Some people have purchased factory direct. I tried but found the logistics too difficult...

We just upgraded to the Powerwagon after a year with a half ton 1500 Ram. It got the job done, but it was limiting offorad. We tow all the time, so moving to the HD market made sense for us. I have drooled over the looks of the 17 Raptor. And breifly considered it. We thought about a Powerwagon...

400amp hours and 110lbs of weight, also cost the same as that thing above.

Bluesky Solarboost 3024il & the Bluesky Solarboost 2512iX with the IPN pro can hit those numbers and has the temp compensation. I run both of them with my lithium battery setup. Used to have lead acid. And they'll handle the power you want to throw at them.

These panels match the same specs as the Grape Solar GS100 panels that used to be sold by AMSolar. Greg Holder designed the panels and sourced the Sun Power cells that Grape Solar used in the GS-100 and GS-135 modules. Prior to that, Grape only dealt in the residential market. What was to be an...

God yes, put me on that list. Can't find decent rack for our Powerwagon with Ramboxs but AEV's one off looks perfect. Publish some specs or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Great photography and write up. Love the CTC branding too.

Thanks for the feed back. I've been making a lot of progress as of lately. Just trying to get caught up with my various build threads. Planning another multi-week trip out west this year. PHASE 3 - RADFLO CUSTOM COILOVERS After my upper strut bushing failure and damage to the strut spacer on...

Thanks, still have more to document, she's come a long way this year as we prep for another big trip out west this August. UPDATES - PHOTOS OF THE RIG IN ACTION - NEW SETUP Thought I would share a few of my favorite photos of the Trailblazer after the more recent changes. TECORE
