The BlueSky SunCharger 30 has a 30 amp rating and an adjustable absorption charge rate of 12-17.0v. At ~$160 it's priced about right too. The BlueSky Solar Boost 3000i has a 30 amp rating and an adjustable absorption charge rate of 12-17.0v. At ~$280 it's priced about right if you want MPPT.

The Renogy Adventurer has a 30 amp capacity but a fixed absorption rate of 14.6v. So it's out. Note: for $90 it includes the remote temperature sensor and the remote voltage sensor so it seems like a great deal if 14.6v will work for you. The Renogy ViewStar has a 30 amp capacity and adjustable...

No, not really. Here's some reading material: http://www.trojanbattery.com/BatteryMaintenance/Charging.aspx http://www.trojanbattery.com/pdf/datasheets/T105_Trojan_Data_Sheets.pdf Trojan T-105

The MidNite Solar Brat (~$125) has an absorb voltage of only 14.4v. So it's a no go. The MidNite Solar Kid at ~$440 is too expensive for me but it does feature an adjustable absorb voltage range that appears to include 14.8v. The MidNite Classic series, which start at $750 (!!!) are too...

I'm looking for a solar charge controller. Needs to handle 15 amps input (2 100w panels at <6a each) and absorb charge at 14.8v with temperature compensation. Running flooded batteries and NEED the voltage. The Morningstar Tristar 45 is the current front runner but at 45 amps rated input...

I've never heard of a portable absorption fridge. PLEASE provide details. (model number, picture, etc)

How often does the pop-off valve on your engine's cooling system open to release steam? (hint: ya ain't got one) There is a radiator cap that holds ~13 psi on that sealed system and it will open if your cooling system is overfilled or the engine overheats but again, that's a sealed system and my...

I've got one of them thar degrees mahself. If you don't know that wheel lugs are in shear, and single shear at that, uhm...I'm sorry.

Test-fitting my awning brackets, which meant popping the top and using the rear of the van as a workbench, resulted in me realizing most of the racket I've been hearing from the back of the van when going over speedbumps, etc is not the tire-carrier as I'd suspected, but just the doors being out...

I was just ribbing you but I didn't take anything out of context. Read it again. It mentions that you received the seat/bed (and yes, you did say it included the matching rear cushion) in exchange for a day of helping her install an interior. The headrests are installed in the picture but I'm...

I agree that it's not ONLY the hub. It is the hub and the studs together. My intention is to maintain that shared relationship without leaving either out. I disagree that the hub becomes inactive when the lug nuts are tightened. I'm sure you meant 'star pattern' and I agree that's the correct...

So what's a rear seat/bed worth?:sombrero:

So bed dimensions are 58" x 6'2"?

Dimensions? Got these from gowest...they seem right? 1995-2003 Eurovan full camper DOWNSTAIRS: 42&#8221; X 6' 2&#8221; UPSTAIRS: 42&#8221; X 6' 2&#8221; Is it this setup? And does it roll on the floor when opened into a bed?

I would NOT do that. Mixing tire sizes on an AWD vehicle is asking for trouble, especially if you plan on using it where AWD will be active. Imagine you've gone off on an adventure and pop a tire in the backcountry. Put on your spare on, which rotates ~23 rpm fewer per mile, and your...

Been working on wheel fitment and thought it might help someone...this van is a 2001 E-150 and it has 17" Dodge wheels on it These 17" Dodge wheels are shown to have originally come on 2002-2003 Ram 1500's 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 front brake rotors have a center hub diameter of 78.55mm (3.08")...

Nice rig! I'd keep the 235/75-15s on it.

Dunno bout a Chev but on a Ford there'd be a heavy cable from battery to a threaded lug in the under-hood fuse box (aka power distribution center) and that box would feed the under-dash fuse box. Disconnecting the start batteries from there would kill power to the chassis but leave start...

You guys got me. I was goofing off in here at work and spaced on 6v in series ah. I'll correct the original post to avoid further confusion.
