I didn't think the 7.3 came in that body style, what year is it?

You could go without the DC-DC charger if you wanted to save a few dollars, the 2awg cables will put a lot of amps back in your batteries by themselves. The DC-DC charger will keep your batteries a little happier though because you wont have to worry about the voltage drop, and Toyotas don't...

You could run 2awg wires back to the trailer from your tow vehicle, I did. I run it to a 40A Renogy dc-dc charger that’s in the trailer, that’s not completely necessary though. I also have 2 6v GC batteries. My travel trailer is much bigger than yours but I don't have much electrical load...

Bury it?

You get 11-13mpg in your lx? My 2011 Chevy 2500 gasser gets 13-14 unloaded, and has a 36 gallon fuel tank. The only time I’m concerned with range is when towing my 10,000 pound camper when it gets 7mpg. 2800 pounds of payload with my rig FYI. I think any HD truck would get better range than...

Do you know what gauge wire you have running back to the batteries? If it's the regular trailer type wiring harness you're not gonna get much of a charge from the truck's alternator, less than ten amps for sure. For my bumper pull travel trailer I have a 2awg positive and negative cables with...

Yea but as long as I remember to hook up my 2awg 40amp feed from the truck I’d be fine.

You mean run the fridge off of an inverter that mounted in the travel trailer? Power draw off the batteries isn’t much of a concern because I’ve got 400w on the roof and a 40amp DC to DC fed from the tow vehicle I’d have to buy an inverter, would it have to be a good one(pure sine) to run the...

You have a truck bed mounted camper? Just charge off of the alternator with a dedicated 2awg circuit, with or without a DC to DC charger. What kind of batteries are in the camper? Those small Propane generators are only putting out 10-15amps. If you have more than one camper battery they could...

I wish my RV fridge was a three way. It’s only 120v or propane. While on the road the propane won’t work(flame blows out?). We arrive at our destination with a warming fridge. Ive never noticed any problems with our fridge not cooling. We can’t/won’t get our 30’ trailer in too many off camber...

Are the bypass diodes pictured the ones that come installed on the back of the panel or are they added in addition to those on the connecting wires?

I have the Sumo springs on my Chevy 2500 gasser. I tow a 30’ 10,000lb travel trailer. I think they’re rated at 1,500 pounds and keep the rear of the truck about an inch higher with the load.I have not noticed any difference in ride, loaded or not. They’re about 1/4” away from the bump stops...

Are you talking about airbag “ping” tanks?

I tried to run 235/80 17 load range E blizzaks on my 2500 but discount tire said they weren’t rates for the weight. I run 265’s instead, in the winter.

Wow

My 2500 6.0 has a 3.5” exhaust pipe from the factory, and makes less horsepower then your truck. I wouldn’t worry about it.

I had the same experience with my viair going from ~50 psi(non loaded) to 80psi(loaded), stock size 20’s. Looking at the specs you’d think it be fine but real life experience says otherwise.

Are the inverter losses significant? Are there no suitable options that can roof a house bank?

I hate the alligator clips that came with mine(can’t remember brand). They’re cheap plastic that pop apart when you try to do anything. I was was trying to jump start a lawn mower out in the field when It was 90F+ and the dam things kept flying apart. I was mad enough to kick a puppy. I ordered...

How much solar would be needed to keep up with this unit?
