I love and use this volt meter on my vehicle, check out my build. http://www.martelmeters.com/products.php?cat=1&action=detail&id=55 You could cut off the bolt and use double sided with battery volts are what you want....

Why isolated? that means you cant start the truck to help charge the batt off the alternator. at least Id recommend have a combine option since the alternator puts out sooo much more power than any solar can. everything I use has auto low voltage shut off and I can still start the car if drain...

Well looking at them now looks like they have kinda replaced all the 12v with Cynergy brand. many of the 24v solar worlds are usa made or canada they norm stay usa made when you clock the panel. UL rating is always a good thing. I cant find out where cynergy are made. Id assume in china or...

if money is no option Genesis dual battery setup uses the G-screen. tiny button screen but the price is pretty ridiculous.

So there is nothing special with specific vehicles. the dual batteries are still 12v, the same as just one battery. Basically you will just mount panels and run a wire to a charge controller then it goes from charge controller to one battery. It really depends on how much solar you want before...

HAHA I think I talked to you about the Cpap machine. Did you ask 2 Law Enforcement rangers if you could charge the batteries in the restroom since the solar was not keeping up in the cold? That ice was wild!

HAHA yea the LED bar makes a wild baffle sound when facing forward so its angled until I want to use it, then I straighten it. It takes 30 seconds to fix. Thanks man. I mainly ran my internet modem and router, my laptop, heated blanket off the inverter and the fridge in the car off 12v. I...

No no, Im powering my edgestar 12v freezer in the car, its running off 12v. 85w + 2 30w = 124w My biggest drawback is the batteries. my older optima new only had 110ah so gets used pretty fast. My plan is to replace once with a crown 130ah solar batt for accessories.

old post but Ill just add the cost of solar these days wind is kinda silly. Solar is much cheaper than anything wind makes and has no noise or maintenance

So Big Bend Texas lost power a few days ago and will be out for another day or so. Lucky me Im a expedition camper and i have solar/inverters 12v fridge and batteries. I just setup my solar and ran an extension cord inside the house. I just start the car for coffee and toast in the morning also...

Yup for the price of a honda gen and high output a/c battery charger you can get enough solar to power a small cabin. We started with a Honda Generator but later switched to 350w solar setup. that allows us to run arb fridge, all trailer lights, heated blaket and heater on low plus make coffee...

So thats it for now i think.... i also added a 12" alpine sub in the back and a new headunit but thats not very exciting. Feel free to ask any questions.

Now more POWER!!! We all know about the cs144 alternator mod-- Is you dont just seach google and there is a ton of write ups so Ill jsut stick to the basics. I bought mine off amazon open boxed item. $60 shipped ( best price I found by far) ACDelco 335-1048 Professional Alternator I...

what next...... OK lets talk Lights!!!! we all know china has been pumping out LED light bars for dirt cheap and I had to bite. Def didnt have the money for $400 on one but I can easily do $150 for 2!! haha My plan was to set back the light bar on the roof to cast a shadow over the hood...

Always trying to improve communications. My magnet mount antenna for the cellphone booster works great but it keeps sliding around from car washes and random stuff scratching up my roof. Also I got a few pretty nice NMO antenna's so I figured it was time to install the nmo and cut into the...

Ok time for shade. I wanted a way for shade but cant handle the super high prices for most premade systems. Yes they look nice and maybe some day ill get one but for now I just wanted a cheap simple option. I bought a camo tarp from walmart for like $15 and some bungie cords. I got 2 poles for...

Well its been a while I guess I better give yall an update. continuing with the way my project has been going im still doing mods for fancier living in the back country vs off road capabilities. In no real order Ill just start talking. So my square wave inver died and I really wanted a...

Not any worse then other cars. The BIG 3 is a popular mod for all cars. They just ground it well enough for stock but once we start adding more and demanding more the grounding becomes a chock point. I would say dont worry to much on where its grounded. the frame is a tough one. The bolt I used...

If you Have not done the BIG 3 grounding mod I highly recommend it. I saw a good voltage increase from it. Ground battery to the frame/ engine block and alternator. My second battery is just grounded to the frame since i have so many grounds off the main battery.

my advise would be to switch over to a 12v cord once stopped since the inverter uses much more power and it goes 12 into 120 -120 back into 12. I notice battery drain much faster when powering the fridge off the 120.But I do remember reading about it online a few years back if you want wire it...
