There are 2 power systems, 120VAC which runs the AirCon (w/heat strips), Battery Charger, and powers the AC outlets provided.. this requires "shore" power borrowing from marine terminology... the DC system runs of the battery, it powers the lights/radio/powervent(s) plus any 12VDC accessory &...

My 50A charger is gonna be configured to output no more than 40A (0.4C for 100AH), I have a really nice high output AC/DC power supply that I'm feeding into the Solar Charger, through a little diode box I made that keeps the AC charger and Solar Panels isolated.. so I can feed the solar charger...

60*2 = 120V max, so yeah a 150/35 would handle two panasonic's in a series, but it'd only output 35A instead of 50A, you'd want the 150/45.. You can configure SmartSolars to limit current output, so if you dont desire the whole 50A, and you want 40A max because you have another 40A max you can...

for paralleling solar chargers, and/or lithium you should be buying Victron gear w/out a doubt.. and yeah I know they aint cheap, Ive got a 30A and I needa buy a 50A next, for my 650W 12V system.. I'm capped out at 450W right now, I'm putting my fixed roof and portable solar on different...

it wont drop to zero it'll just bypass that panel, in northern latitudes in the winter months those shadows get bigger than you'd think, especially when its not noon, even if vent is closed it may cast shade if it sticks up at all.. you'd see one controller outputting about 50% or 25% less than...

you also got a system capable of producing enough power to burn things down and since you cant really turn off the sun on demand you should fuse the hot solar side of the system and make it so you can disconnect them to work on stuff without those wires being hot.. most of us with much smaller...

this is again where we need to know your house battery voltage and capacity to be nailed down before hammering out the solar charger needs.. 400AH @ 12VDC * 0.4C = 160A (1920W) Charge Rate, To Obtain this you could run 4x50A SmartSolars, each with 2 panels at 500W (~40A) 200AH @ 24VDC * 0.4C =...

Engel MT45 is hard to beat, and has nice quick connect floor mounts available you can just snap it in and out of your truck/sailboat... Its got no Low Voltage Disconnect, which I see as a benefit because those often cause more headache than solve due to the fact nobody runs a fridge right next...

they are 60v as far as your solar charger is concerned, 53v max @ 25C, but that number will go up as those temps go down.. so lets say 60V just so you dont feed your Solar Charger too high voltage.. it needs to be able to take that on the input... A Solar Charger's Amp output is not calculated...

Ive not done anything with my Zastone/Retrivis handhelds, just programmed em.. I bought 6 of em about 3 years ago now, and all 6 of em still work great.. My pot shop uses the same radios, so does the garden center we go to.. Ive spotted em out in the wild a handful of times since I got em.. they...

Get yourself a nice sharp step bit, tape it all off, hit it with a small pilot to guide the step bit and so you know exactly where its coming in under.. you can go to the dealer and get a small can of touch up paint and paint any exposed metal if you'd like. I used to have no problem drilling...

3500lb Dexter Torsion axles is what they got.. I think they are the bees knees, I love gliding down rough roads late at night without making a peep, creep up on all kinda wildlife I didnt pulling a leaf trailer down em.. Ive left drinks on the counter to find em not moved after going down a...

I could get more goldberg lol, I bet you have more than one alternator, or could fit more than its already got.. throw a 12v alternator into the mix, make a 12v rail thats EITHER powered by your house bank on a 12v step down, or by the alternator.. so when you need big amps @ 12v or 24v, just...

Are there any 24v truck accessories you intend to use while parked, like the air compressor, lights or anything? or is all that fine to be engine driven.. that would be another good reason for a 24v house bank is you can run those off your big bank as needed.. and use your house bank for jump...

well then since you already have a 24v system you could test it out before committing on house battery, find a nice converter and see if your winch overloads it or runs fine off it pulling a load you expect it to see. Another option would be slap a single 12v agm into a seperate bank, with a...

For pulling the motor cycle up you see Warn's Drill Winch? https://www.warn.com/500-lb-drill-winch-910500 I been wanting one for a good while to replace my comealong.. Its what I'd use for getting bigger toys into my toy hauler ramp when that day finally comes. So the rear deck/drawbridge could...

my dad burnt up the LP fridge in his RV thinking the same thing, it faulted out for not being level.. he thought, oh well I'm on shore power its fine.. cleared the fault without actually leveling it then it burnt up the compressor.. THEN he read the manual and it said do not clear the fault...

AFIK, the LP fridges have to be level regardless how you power them.. its due to the compressor design, not whats driving the compressor.. so if you have no intentions of using LP, and dont want that limitation.. dont buy one powered by LP in any way/shape/form.. The Pure Electric ones with...

sounds like he wants to use the winch to pull is parking brakes or something.. not really sure why a giant truck needs little winches.. mebe a hand winch would be fine?

Most flatbed tow trucks are 24v, and they got load holding brakes on em.. https://newtowtrucks.com/i-2988-rep9000-24v.html
