In memorial, Crown Point in Pingree Park Colorado.. one of my favorite chill spots, camped here countless times, mostly for my birthday and father's day now that I think about it. this Photo was taken back on Fathers Day Weekend, is ********** dab in the middle of the burn maps now and it's not done...

Sorry I didnt respond to your IM its been a crazy week here, the problem with portable on demand heaters is the low oxygen shutoff.. If you already got a heater, see if you can remove that thinggy.. If your looking for one w/out such safety features (outdoor only) I found the Triton 5L Portable...

its fine, your shore or solar can finish charging if the alternator don't..

rivnuts should be rather good for sheer forces, plus nuts are designed for any pulling forces.. or go overboard and drill all the way through and double nut it on both sides. I'm holding my 325W folding solar with an M10 Rivnut in the frame tubing but I drilled all the way thru and put a full...

yep, its like a battery.. treat it always hot, but you can throw a big blanket over it when you go to crimp the terminals so any output if any would be negligible. it always being hot is what will cause accelerated corrosion on the andersons.

not really.. toss one of those rubber dust boots on the Anderson and perhaps some dielectric grease to keep those hot wires from corroding.

yeah, that's perfectly fine.. the safest way to disconnect solar is panel first then the controller, if you drop all the loads off the controller first you could get a bad voltage spike.

derail away, you are greatly overestimating the visibility of these.. If your watching shooting stars, gazing at the milky way, you will not see any satellites because they will be in the eclipse of the earth, they do not create light, only reflect it.. so satellites only flare-up to those...

3-4 years is the maximum time they can keep em up before they run out of fuel and gotta de-orbit, they are low enough altitude there's plenty of drag that would be the max time if the box just went dumb w/no control. they can always send them down early if they are ready to be replaced, I...

No place in the world has been out of comms reach for a very long time, Sat Phones and HF Ham have been around for a very long time. If you want to go silent, devices still have power buttons you can turn them off. I'm meh on the "destroying the night's sky" nonsense, and I'm a huge astronomy...

considering they are designed to attach to a 700cfm axial fan and run for 6mo+ solid w/out being touched.. Then when its tapped out you empty it, then bake the carbon in the oven to re-activate it.. I think you underestimate its scrubbing capabilities... Here in Colorado, we subject commercial...

Well, all I can say is that I've thoroughly tested carbon canister filters capabilities of removing smoke from burning trees... one bong rip at a time.

or use rivnuts/plusnuts

the problems big trailers have PDQ are attack and departure angles, things like ditches and big ledges stop my 20ft trailer.. I'm needing bridges to flatten out some of those harsh washouts so my tongue dont scrape crawling down into it and dragging the tail back up the other side.. short...

Victron Smart Battery Protect on a always hot circuit if you dont have a dual battery setup, but a dual battery would be the best way.. you say 12v cooler and not compressor fridge, so I'm thinking your power loads are going to be significantly higher than you are planning on as those 12 coolers...

I installed a webasto thermotop c into my vehicle earlier this spring, water pump is external.. I think some of the bigger bus sized ones do have water pumps but otherwise they just a heater, and they can handle pressures of the cooling system.. my system isolates the heater core on a smaller...

Yeah google DIY Cabon Filter, tons of small scale closet pot growers have built exactly what your looking for with a couple pen holders, panty hose and aquarium carbon.. but for 12v you'll wanna use like a Marine Bilge Blower set it up scrub the air, try to seal up as good as you can and run...

my intech does have a vent on the top, but its powered.. so if it had space, it could help keep air circulating under the panel.. I'd do it, but I had room infront of aircon.

The InTech Discover is back, with the indoor kitchen all you gotta do is get a propex/wave heater, and some cots and a instead of folding out the beds and it'll do great in all 4 seasons.. I keep the bunks out well below freezing, but if it stayed in single digits there is tons of floor room to...

Victron makes IO cables you can bang on/off with a BMS to control charging w/out needing to interrupt the panels.. https://www.victronenergy.com/cables/ve-direct-non-inverting-remote-on-off-cable
