I'm just completing my set up. I have 3- 100 watt panels going through a Victron bluesolar MPPT controller. My initial plan was to use 2 GC2 golf cart batteries for the house batteries. I was going to also charge my road batteries through a Blue Sea ACR. Well I got a great deal on 2 Rolls...

Electrical is done, gas (propane) is done, and all my water lines fresh and grey tank are all done and tested. Just cabinets and the FRP for the bathroom, flooring etc. for the inside. All the finicky parts are done.

Lots to put in a small space!

All the wiring is done except to put in my ACR to the road batteries when it gets here from Amazon. Also I thought I ordered the Victron Smartsolar but when I went to install it was the Bluesolar so I have a wifi Dongle coming!

I'm at the point where I'm doing the final wiring. I was planning to use two golf cart batteries but got a great deal on Rolls 415 AH AGM. A local company that does oilfield solar projects had a bunch that were lightly used from a big job. Luckily they fit where I planned to put the GC2's! The...

Wiring and water lines today. Wiring in my solar panels and batteries. Got a great deal on two 415 AH Rolls 6V AGM batteries! pictures to follow later.

Lots of wiring done. Got all the propane lines plumbed. Grey water tank is plumbed. Stove/range is in.

My thoughts also. Put the solar controller next to the house battery. I'm assuming you have a set of wires (I think you said 10ga) from the house battery to the road battery. If you had a battery ACR there it would allow 2 way current to your road battery. Power coming from the panel through the...

Got the ceiling done. Very frustrating and slow. Lots of cursing involved but it does look good. Took a few days off and had a buddy from Tacoma Mountain Rescue visit so we headed out west to the Mt Stelfox Via Feratta.

Distressed barn wood paneling. Cedar on the ceiling tomorrow. Wood stove and range install tomorrow too I hope.

Anybody have one? Price wise they're a third of an iron cross, Bullet proof etc, even after factoring in US to CDN exchange, and driving to a border mail outlet in Montana to get it. Looking at the kit I should be able to modify it slightly so that it will match my fender flares for the super...

Weekend progress. Got the bathroom roughed in. Still need to build the door and line the walls and ceiling with FRP. Got the shower pan in and plumbed and the Natures Head installed. Kitchen cabinet, counter and stove cabinet done. Also got sink and grey water tank in.

On the truck! 2 brackets to weld on the front, and the 1/4 plate to close in the back.

Was over at my local welder helping to finish my mega roof rack and solar Aray. Welding it on tomorrow. It will have 1/4" aluminum plate across the back for my motorcycle lift to attach to.

My panels are in series so 36 volts at 5.5 amps. These are relatively cheap so was looking at them. I'm checking out the local (60 miles away) Princess Auto today to see what else they have. I was going to use these for both panel and main house loads disconnect. I figured it's easier to put...

My thoughts were to avoid sparking if changing out a battery. I was just going to put one of these between the panels and the controller.

I have a thread already on my proposed system on my 550. After some suggestions here I am going to include a cutoff between the batteries and my 12 volt fuse box. I also want to isolate my solar side with a cutoff. If I put it after my smartsolar controller between the controller and the...

Had a Rescue practice yesterday so only had one day to work on the truck. Got a lot of wiring done. Relocated the propane tank, and started plumbing the propane. I got the fridge in. Doesn't seem like much but the fridge needs a roof vent, a wall vent, a 12 volt power supply, 110 volt...

Furnace in, Fridge cabinet done. Doing wiring and starting to run propane lines. Went to the local wrecker and got all the propane fittings, regulator and some new rubber lines repurposed from a wrecked motorhome. Also got a few little goodies like hand hold for the door and new screen door...

I called DBL first but they're not making the 8 bolt pattern I need anytime soon. Not sure how long "anytime soon is" but that was 6 months ago.
