    ARB awning sail track size/dimensions?

    Thank you! My digital calipers finally arrived and what I'm seeing in terms of the cord size on the windbreak seems to verify a 5/16 sail/rope track.

    ARB awning sail track size/dimensions?

    Hi does anyone know what size sail or rope track is used on ARB awnings for attaching accessories such as awning rooms and windbreaks? I’m needing to purchase some compatible sized track online and just can’t seem to find the dimensions or specifications. Thanks in advance.

    Awesome build. I'm starting to plan for a Fullsize / Flatbed / Hawk build in about three years and have bookmarked your thread for inspiration.

    Nice to hear that BB took care of you warranty wise and that you have a fresh battery for your trip. Have a great time and look forward to hearing how things perform in the field.

    Victron Energy: Alternator/Solar Charging - LFP Battery System

    Yep, I'm following that thread. I can also see why a manufacturer would not... that's consumer electronics. I'm reserving judgement on Battle Born pending how they handle the warranty claim.

    Victron Energy: Alternator/Solar Charging - LFP Battery System

    I really like Victron gear and would love to have that level of transparency inside the battery, all aggregated into a nice app like Victron Connect.

    Victron Energy: Alternator/Solar Charging - LFP Battery System

    I run a custom built battery box that lives in a FrontRunner Wolfpack box. The box contains a BattleBorn 100AH 12V battery, a 1500W inverter, a Victron BMV 712, a Victron 75/15 MPPT and a blue sea fuse block that connects all the various 12V ports that are mounted to the outside of the case. I...

    Closed: Ark Pak

    I have one that I retired last year sitting in the garage. It works fine, but I'm not sure what you mean by gently used. They get scuffed up when used with a 75lb group 31 battery in them. It also has a couple mods done.... for example replaced one of the cigarette style ports with an ARB...

    SPOT X vs garmin inreach mini?

    I had a 1st gen InReach (even older than the SE) that I recently replaced with a InReach Mini. It's amazing how much quicker the mini it is at both sending and receiving messages. Huge difference and I'm really happy I upgraded.

    victron phoenix smart ip43 charger

    Have you inquired over at their support forums to see if they have anything to say? I've found them to be reasonably responsive. BTW, I agree it would be nice to have in the NA market. https://community.victronenergy.com

    Victron charge controller - Temperature

    Boooo.... and as you have by now surmised, my 75/15 is the SmartSolar model, not the BlueSolar one.

    Any experience with a Vmax battery?

    I've got that exact 125ah battery. Have had it for 4 years and it's been trouble free, I've actually been happy with it. It was purchased with $ warranty refunded from a diehard group 31 platinum (rebadged odyssey 2150) which was a bit of an ExPo forums darling for years. Top tier brands don't...

    Victron charge controller - Temperature

    A caveat to what I mentioned above, both my Victron devices are bluetooth capable... that is how they communicate on the VE Network.

    Victron charge controller - Temperature

    I'm running a similar setup: BMV 712 sharing temp/voltage with a 75/15 charging a LiFePO4 battery. I can confirm that when the MPPT controller starts receiving temp from the BMV, you are then able to set up temp compensation (which you want off for lithium) and a custom low temp cut-off on the...

    1000 Watt Inverter Recommendations / Picked one and installed

    That’s kind of a recurring theme with inverters, in my experience... they’re always bigger than I thought. You picked a nice one, though. I really like and have had great experiences with Victron gear.

    How many actually use 120VAC when off-grid?

    I run a Nespresso off-grid via 1500w psw inverter. Easier to charge drone batteries off AC also. Not exactly necessities but hey, back country time is vacation time.
