Good finds, that is exactly what I was looking for.

Wow, those are skoocum as frig. Overkill, but I like it… https://www.leviton.com/en/products/industrial/plugs-connectors-receptacles/nemanonnema#t=Products&sort=%40wcs_site_tree_rank%20ascending&layout=card&f:@tsa_amperage=[15%20A]&f:@tsa_pole=[2]&f:@tsa_brand=[Wetguard]

I found a couple of questionable products, from the usual scumbags: https://mictuning.com/36w-usb-c-pd-car-charger-usb-quick-charge-30-type-c-charger-socket-with-led-digital-voltmeter-for-truck-motorcycle-car-boat_p0538.html That one claims 36W, but I do not know how many angry pixies the...

Unfortunately, this is for a trailer. The electrical is all in a large metal box on the tongue, with side opening doors.

I am contemplating going a different route and using a hatch: https://www.westmarine.com/access-hatches Seems more flexible and prevents the requirement that all connectors be waterproof. Thoughts?

Has anyone come across a high-quality USB-C charger that is low(er) noise and will charge Apple's latest !@&^%@$! MacBooks? I guess the advantage over my McGyver'd 12V MagSafe power supply is that it will be an industry standard, but damn that's annoying. Thanks, A.

So I have a permanently installed panel and a portable "suitcase" panel. I want a nice, clean, and rugged connection for the suitcase panel when it is in use. Comes with MC4, but I can rectify that if required. I really like my stuff to be able to withstand the abuse of yours truly, a dimwitted...

Thanks for the update, and that's good to hear. A.

Anyone know of a decent way to draw schematics? I’m not taking about low-level circuit diagrams, but larger schematics that help know what’s wired to what. I’m designing a power system for a trailer and I’d like to have something that will help me track down the number of terminals, sizes...

I never had trouble with the buckles on either of my Trasharoos. What is stiff? The plastic tabs? The buckles are probably pretty standard parts. A.

I'm liking it, for sure.

Except I already have two giant batteries sitting under the hood. Seems a little ridiculous to get yet another. I have seen a few threads on 'mud where guys replace the starter with a 12V model and tear out all the extra wiring. Then you can use a deep cycle on one side and a DC-DC charger. But...

Yes, as I mentioned above, maybe with a lack of clarity: "(…) a 12v system that uses a solenoid to feed a 24v starter (…)". Yup, that's exactly what it does. Funny, I've heard people call my beloved truck a tractor, before… :) A.

Yeah, it's a diesel. But it's a 12v system, so everything but the starter is 12v. Has two 12v starter batteries in parallel. A.

It really annoys me that I rarely see anything above 13.8v on my '94 HDJ81, which is a 12v system that uses a solenoid to feed a 24v starter from two factory batteries under the hood. I need to replace one of the main wires, which appears to have drop, and get a third house battery. :cautious:

Did this ever get off the ground?

Found another one, the North Bound Expeditions G.A.R.B. Seems well designed and comes with a good warranty.

Love mine. When the weather is really bad, it makes my day.

You and I aren't on the same page, then! A.

Heh, didn't realize I had a signature line! Wait, I don't. I'll add one. :P With the RTT, it's a 5-minute job. I expect that won't be case with kids, for sure. But, travel will sometimes takes us through urban areas, which entail camping at rest stops and trailheads.
