aye, lots of garbage SS out there to avoid.. so far everything passing the magnet test w/some super strong magnets.. before I had "Stainless" clamps but the damn worm screw was not stainless, ******.. why.. now got real stainless steel clamps from a reputable manufacturer.. price is often the key...

RS6 has land speed record on ice surface, 208mph average.. 211mph max on studded 20s!

BlueSea makes some nice flush mount 120VAC LED Indicator lights you might be able to tap into the fridge power and put somewhere you'll notice sooner than later.. I used one on my circuit box to indicate the presence of 'shore' power, because my generator at the end of 100ft extension cord cant...

So back to our regularly scheduled program, expanded the counter top in the kitchen today... I'm loving it, so simple yet effective.. Enough room under the counter top for a silverware drawer down the line.. In travel mode with the upper counter installed, plenty of room between em for a...

my local dealer said they had all their RS6 allocations reserved at least 3 years out, back in February when I was asking when I could see one in person.. dealer basically said they wont have one in their showroom for a very, very long time as these kinda owners are waiting and watching em...

at 150-300W for these LP Fridges I'd want a bright af strobing indicator light or something wired in to remind you that its running off battery power and you needa switch back to LP.. compared to my 30W DC fridge thats a massive friggin load, far more than I see through my OEM Trailer plug from...

Fiberglass Grating is the keyword I used

I've owned one RS6, and I cant wait to get my hands on a RS6 Avant.. I been wanting one for so very long, I'll probably be buried in it. In the garage there peeking out is my 500hp hatchback, I wanna find a A4 UltraSport Wagon w/6MT to swap its drivetrain into.. that would be the daily beater...

Since there's a Webasto Article today up top, I figured I'd post up some of the photos of my OEM Webasto Conversion: The whole shebang that I put together my self, heater imported from the netherlands off a newer vehicle than mine w/less mileage than mine. My Fuel Tank already had...

not even close, all the cells in the solar panels determine voltage.. the number of cells and how they are wired.. Controller takes whatever it can get, and converts it into a usable charge.

sweet thanks, I can get a 4ft square sheet of that off the craigslist for $50, my trailer is long enough it needs a couple bridges to take ditches, deep washouts, and whatnot without something bottoming out... ad says it holds forklifts at 2ft spans, i could make a pair 4ft bridges outta it no...

the panels have bypass/blocking diodes built into em, sometimes many of em in a series but just one on a 12v panel.. if one is at 17V and the other is at 16V the diode on the 16V panel will not let current flow into it and it'll cut out.

diodes will cut em out if they cant keep up with a stronger panel and the'll get pulled down.. whichever panel is doing highest voltage at the time is gonna win, you'll store more power with a seperate controller for seperate panels.. you put multiple panels on a single controller when its an...

I dunno man, think you need a lift, 37in wheels, winch, beadlocks, lockers, arb bumpers, and a diesel engine to get over something like that..

surprised I dont with as out of date as everything was already when it was brand new, nobody had bought a cassette tape in 8 years when my Jeep was built, as is standard @ Chrysler.. but in its defense, at least CD's sucked when wheeling.. but that was not an intentional feature.

ah yeah thats a good point, kinda got yer self a nice infinite while loop with no real good way to break out.. powering it by the panels seems reasonable enough.. this is the same issue with a common charge/discharge bus, if your battery is low.. and you cut off the charge sources, how exactly...

or feed it regulated power from a DC step down circuit on the high voltage side if you have trouble finding one, I take it your SC dont have an unused load output you can utilize for an easier happy path.. some SC's have ability to have load output only fed when solar has power, or inverted when...

funny enough, none of my expensive Luxury vehicles ever came with wheel locks.. but all my cheap economy vehicles did.. and my lux suv has all sorts of additional security on it, cant even swap components w/electronic modules out of junkyard cars without software that connects to master database...

could it be powered by the charge bus itself and banged on/off by the BMS? If the sun is down or there's no shore power, it can simply shut down.. no need to leave the charge bus circuit active all night long w/no charge sources, and then power draw.. as long as its small would be moot since...

yeah the internal speaker sucks, but I've got one of these under the dash and IMO it sounds perfectly fine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ZIC18Q Dont discount using it running around doing errands, in town where there is more active traffic is the best place to brush up on your skills...
