This may seem like a stupid question, but I just finished installing my second battery and blue sea ML-ACR in my 4runner. I didn't install the supplied contra switch because I can't think of a time when it would be a benefit to isolate the batteries or combine them via a remote switch. Honestly...

Modified my Easy Slide 150 fridge drop slide to house a pull out table underneath it similar to the Tembo Tusk drop slide. Just wanted to share the results. First I cut the front of the Easy Slide off. cut a few pieces of 1.5x1.5" 1/8" steel angle I order a piece of 10 gauge pre cut to...

Spent Sunday modifying my Easy Slide 150 fridge drop slide to house a pull out table underneath it similar to the Tembo Tusk drop slide. Just wanted to share the results. First I cut the front of the Easy Slide off. cut a few pieces of 1.5x1.5" 1/8" steel angle I order a piece of 10 gauge...

Any reason you removed the mixing valve other than to simplify the system? Did it break or leak?

Man, I LOVE your trailers. So nice! What is involved in importing one of these guys in to the USA?

I finished the wood work for my side table and sink, I still need to spend some time with a router and some polyurethane. After that the step is to hook up the water, modifying my drop slide so it will house a pull out table similar to the Tembo Tusk unit and then build the fridge divider/barrier.

Add one of these guys mounted up high so it lifts the cord as you push the fridge in and reels it out when the fridge is pulled out. Use it with a cable carrier or the cord alone. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088MQ87G/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My only hold up is the slow charging rate. The Anderson power poles on the front of the 1000 can take 240w of solar, 360w for the 1400. 240w is 20a at 12v, less at charging voltage. I wonder if I could hook a 20a AC/DC charger to the power poles. It would flow through the solar charge...

Did you use adapters from the 5x5 to your truck or did you change out a hub assembly?

Have any of you looked at the new Yeti Lithium 1000 that can be purchased at Costco for $1000.00? I've been all over the map with my accessory charging system and I have all the shock works brackets sitting on my work bench to add a second battery under the hood, was going to go with a BB or...

Nice trailerfor a fair price. Does the front compartment just forward of the axles have a place for a fridge? or is that just a large storage area? How far back does it go? GLWS

Could you put a retractable latch on the front of the rack so they could be slide out the front when you want to move them around? Great idea by the way, looking forward to seeing what kind of amps or milliamps you pull with when the panels are stowed and 75% shaded.

I've been thinking about this same idea, but planned on it coming out over the hood so when parked in populated areas people would be less likely to screw with it. I do like your idea of using it for an awning, but that wouldn't work for the 4runner.

I received an encouraging email from BB saying that the D250S will work with their lithium battery. One down fall is slower charging rates than the advertised 20a, Sean said at the top of the charging cycle it slows down to 8 amps even though the lithium can take all 20. I also asked about...

Ok, thank you, that makes since. I was thinking about being able to keep my ARB running for a month while I'm out of town and it's parked in the garage. Maybe the best thing to do is just keep the 110v plug of the ARB plugged and don't worry about charging the batteries on a AC/DC charger. Or I...

So to make matters a little foggier if I added a AC/DC battery charger for topping off the batteries at home when the 4Runner is parked in the garage for extended periods of time with no solar, what unit is recommended to charge the BB battery? The instructions for the d250s show I hook the...

Sean, Thank you for taking the time and calling me today, posting to this forum and getting a D250S to conduct testing. Assuming the tests go well next week and the D250S and Battle Born lithium are a good match I'm going to place an order. Just to recap what we discussed on the phone for...

It's my (limited) understanding that the voltage in the 4Rs isn't high enough. I may eventually go with 2 of these batteries, but it'll be a little while.

I'm pretty set on the CTEK d250s and maybe a Smartness to charge the lithium battery faster. I would like to keep my factory starting battery and add a battle born lithium house battery. Battle Born says the d250s is perfect for their lithium and built in BMS. Anyone see any issues combining...

That is what I was thinking, the smart pass only boost the amps for faster charges for big batteries or big consumers. So basically I'll hook my solar and alternator up to the D250S, AC Shore Charger to the House Battery. I guess If for some reason the charge isn't keeping up, I can always add a...
