I plan to use PEX and have the proper crimping tool. Also have had more than 1500' of it in my house (in floor heat & domestic water) for 15 years and never a problem. Good enough track record for me.

Old panels are Voc 22.12VDC and the tentative new panel Voc is 21.45VDC - I'm thinking it is OK with a 0.67VDC mismatch. For a "system VOC" would it be 3x 21.45 = 64.35VDC in series?

The Workmate idea is brilliant, I own one and have never thought about bringing it camping.

I am planning to add an additional solar panel to my trailer roof (shiny aluminum sheet). I am looking at a Bifacial 100 Watt Solar Panel with a Vmp of 18.15V. My current panels are traditional 100W mono panels with a Vmp of 19.23V. Please note that the new panel will be added in series for a...

Both are actually 2 variations of Alps Mountaineering tables. I think they can be found online for a little less $$ than the links above.

I have this one, it is excellent: https://orccgear.com/ALPS_Mountaineering_Regular_Dining_Table

It works well actually. It is the slim / taller model with with the built in case. I think I paid $74 delivered on Amazon.

I'm guessing they all come from the same factory, but get new names slapped on by the Chinese resellers. I have a Vevor.

Yes, there are many options for diesel heaters. I do like the Rigid case as I already use these in my vehicle, and I have a 3D printer, learning curve is really short if you are somewhat technical surprisingly.

Part numbers / sources for purchased items would have been nice.

$544 for a 4x8 sheet - is this the going rate for an XPS / FRP bonded panel?

looks like a 4th gen, not a 1980

I store mine in my basement. Nearly a constant 68F, and dry.

Good point about not knowing if the P.O. had previously changed the fluid.

I did a low half width low platform (75" x 25" wide) in my '14 Outlander. Works great for 1 person and plenty of head room to sit up. Completely removed the 2nd and 3rd row seats. When I had my '05 Montero, the full width platform I had in there was fridge height (20" +/-) to the top of the...

I don't even sleep well in my house when there are 40 to 70mph winds and rain outside...

Yeah, that is how it is with a raised platform in a Jeep or SUV.

There are numerous chinese diesel heater in "box" or "case" builds on YouTube. These could easily be referenced for a DIY Propex box build. I have not seen anything already built and available to purchase complete.

Generally flexible solar panels are not as efficient as a rigid panel.
