I have a Blue Sea isolator and a 30a IOTA smart charger. It charges only by the alternator or shore power, no solar. I'm not going to do solar or a refrigerator on this rig. Total power needs are heater fan, roof fan, 3 LED strips of indoor lights. entry level porch light, phone recharging and...

I am SO conflicted!!! I know the limitations of the Raven/Silverado combo (small and occasionally goes over GVWR, separate thread on that), but it’s paid for. If I build something new, I’ll put it on the F250 with a well apportioned Sherptek (separate thread on that, essentially a 7.3/4.30...

My half ton Chevy is fun and gets us a lot of places. It has stock suspension save for a Helwig helper leaf and Bilsteins.
