I'm using a 50 watt ACOPOWER rigid mono crystalline panel to keep my dual batteries charged in my truck. It has proven to be very reliable day in day out. You can get a 100 watt one for around 90 bucks.

Far more gas vehicles have burned to the ground than electric. An electrical connection loose that is not being checked is no different than a loose fuel line. I have the Jackery 300 solar generator and I'm really enjoying it. My wife and I use it every week to power my portable cooler when...

You might want to just purchase a few XT60 connectors with wires already attached. Amazon has them for pretty cheap. This way you can make a few pigtails with whatever connector you need at the end.

Thank you for that link Art. While i have not used RedArc products, I have read nothing but good reviews and not heard of failures.

Would it be possible to stay on track and not change my words and use confusing statements? Not funny when a member is trying to get some help.

Only vehicle batteries. The Jackery is a stand alone solar generator with a built in charge controller.

What brands would that be? When you are running high amperage draw equipment (winches, lights, stereos, etc) beyond the rated output of your alternator the OEM one will die just like an aftermarket. I have a Mechman brand. It is one of the best aftermarket alternators in the industry. You are...

I'm thinking he is using the Jackery solar generator as aux power. If in fact you are using the Solar Generator for aux power and want to use your trucks batteries for powering up your "essentials", the charge controller simply has to be rated for the amount of solar input you plan on hooking...

How big is it and what does it weigh?

That's what I like about these units. Also they can be moved around to use in different situations.

A gas generator uses petroleum as an energy source to keep an internal combustion engine operating in order to spin a turbine that converts motive power into electricity for use in an external circuit. A solar generator uses the sun as an energy source to power a battery pack in order to...

These portable solar Generators as well as solar panels are getting more and more capacity and efficient at an alarming rate. Just a few years ago you would be hard pressed to get an affordable solar panel that put out anything more than 10-15% efficiency. Now you can get relatively cheap...

Hi guys just got a Email from Bluetti for these new power stations/solar generators being made available in a few weeks. What makes them unique is the ability to add "piggy back" aux battery packs and solar charge in just over 2 hours to capacity with only 1400 watts (12 amps) of juice. Other...

One of the biggest differences that blows me away are the ball joints on the Hilux. One single indestructible huge ball joint built into the hub on each side of the 4wd model.

Jackery 300 + my pre cooled to 35 degrees BougeRV 12V Portable 30 quart cooler loaded with drinks and lunch. Temperature outside was 90-100F. I stuck the cooler in the cars back seat and drove to our cabin 2 hours away up and 2.5 hours back home. While parked with windows rolled up it was over...

It's the journey to get there that destroys the rigs. I do not have to own a rig to understand how fragile it is. All the rigs the OP and others have listed are just not up to the task of the type of off highway travel I described or shown. Lets just say that the dozens of "off road trailers"...

I could not recommend any production trailer on the market today. When racing desert all the ones I have seen taken to the pit/camp areas have issues within the first 6 months or so. I have also done repairs on buddies and got to a point where I realized a custom build is going to be the only...

Our definition of off highway travel is a world apart. Camino del Diablo/Fortuna Mine trails are easy 2wd roads. The type of terrain I am talking about would have the fenders and side mounted propane tank torn off of your trailer the first few miles. Think miles of whooped out washboard and...

Same here. Very detailed specs and dimensions. Looks like a solid unit.

You can also do a tap or two of the brake when a wheel is in the air spinning. this will make the wheel on the ground grab and pull you through the rough sections.
