yeah I keep my ID and all that stuff within quick grab, I'm not digging for anything once the vehicle is stopped and they got eyes on me.. I'm normally observant enough I got a good idea I'm getting pulled over long, long before the cherries and berries go off and making sure everything is...

heh, even my mom who always had dark tinted windows told me when I tinted my windows, that one sure fire way to piss off a cop, have a gun pointed at you and catch an offence for just about anything they can find was to make him/her walk up on a vehicle they cant see anything inside of. thats...

Milk Crates are my go to, they stack nice, are easy to bolt/strap down, dirt falls out the bottom.. tho for bread I keep that in the Microwave because its otherwise empty.

I charge my LFP off genset with a dumb 48v constant voltage power supply feeding the portable Victron SmartSolar that is capable of limiting output current to whatever I want, and is fully programmable to be copasetic w/LFP, got diodes isolating em but since my panel is higher voltage I gotta...

I say use it as a proving ground, whats the worst to happen? you get stuck and go inside and watch TV and drink a beer while you wait for your buddy to come over and yank yeh out? Use a spotter, If yeh cant get over this ledge safely all by itself then you should probably equip your rig with...

They only have a single Charge/Discharge bus by definition, so no... they cant possibly disconnect the cells when full or your whole battery goes dark, you gotta have a charger that drops to a float once charged.

Zastone X6

If its a dual fuel, fire it up with gas.. point the exhaust at the LP tank and after a few mins switch it over to LP.. but thats mostly a problem w/small tanks or big tanks that are nearly empty and its too cold to get enough vapor pressure off em, and all your LP appliances would struggle...

you dont pump current into any battery when its fully charged unless your charge voltage is higher than its fully charged voltage, which is exactly what were discussing. The only way you get away with the no solar charger crap is with very large lead banks and very small solar panels, like a 5w...

If the load is higher than the supply its going to cap the supply out in Constant Current where its outputting the most watts it can at the voltage being put in depending based upon the loads resistance, but as those batteries fill up its power is going to drop below your supply's max load...

thats a fud statement.. Propane produces 92,000 BTU’s per gallon, gasoline is capable of producing 114,000 BTU’s per gallon.. by my math that is not nearly 2-3 times anything, and LP typically costs about $2 per gallon and gets real cheap in summer when heating demands are low, where gas gets...

If he's got two deeply discharged 12v batteries getting those back full w/the engine alone because solar is not cooperating is easier said than done.. You up for 8h drive, it dont matter if he gets 200A back to his bank its not gonna back to 100% SOC without a good painfully long absorb.. been...

I'mna convert my Honda EU2200 over to LP, its pretty simple.. I drag it around for same reason as you, leave Colorado and suddenly you cant have enough solar panels.. I just dont wanna bring gasoline with me on a diesel rig anymore, and for most of the summer I can barely put a dent in my 30#...

Ive got an inflatable kiddy pool already, just needa get me that LP water heater and I'm in business... seriously tho, its on a big concrete slab so even tho its in the sun all day long the water is still cold as hell, dunno how the kids tolerate it.. one of the justifications for a portable LP...

Kinda, MPPT is constantly putting maximum load on the panel/array so it can extract maximum watts to feed the buck circuit.. this dynamic load does influence the panels voltage, but thats just a consequence of full load on it, the voltage sags a little.. you can watch your panels fire up as the...

So whats the logic behind getting in a rigid box thats well over ambient and 100% humidity in that case then? I'm failing to see your point here.. you gonna put an aircon on yer wagbox? Generally the idea w/those tents is privacy for using the loo.. if its like hot as hell and humid as hell...

This is the coolest thing happening on expo portal right now..

nope, you'll fry your battery with too high of a voltage.. been there done that with those aweful 'attach directly to the battery' maintainers that just destroy your battery. PWM and MPPT act as regulators that step the power down to the desired voltage.. I can go out right now to my 65v panel...

heh, I got a flat tire in middle of Kansas in my RS6.. had a Pyrenees pup, my son and my wife in the car when a highway patrol K9 unit came up to provide assistance and get the trucks to move over for me.. the cop sat there and watched me unload the trunk onto the side of the road to get to the...

oh these were all brand new 2020's, like 6 of em all lined up in any color you wanted, a couple were north of $250k.. its almost like a bunch of orders got canceled for some silly wagon or something :P
