    Dreadlocks outfitting of InTech Discover

    I'm loving em, they perform far better than any other solar panels I've had my hands on.. always cranking out amps, dont think you'll find house panels in that size tho.

    Need HAM radio for upcoming ROF trip. Need Ideas.

    Cut the plug off, or measure it and buy a similar one to assemble and wire it up to one of these in a project box with a ciggy plug: https://www.amazon.com/Converter-12V-Automatic-Waterproof-Transformer/dp/B07WY4P7W8 That will give it a solid 12V output regardless what DC source you provide it...

    Dreadlocks outfitting of InTech Discover

    I thought about that but its really friggin high up in the air and would make it kinda a pain to bag up and stuff.. my solar panel is like 11ft high, the beach sized Umbrella has proven to be nice and cheap alternative, right now I'm taking a bungee and strapping it to my lantern tripod.. which...

    Dreadlocks outfitting of InTech Discover

    the outdoor kitchen thing is not that brilliant either, has some room for improvement.. the stove top is for indoor use so its BTU is way less than my portable stove I was used too, boiling water is considerably more time and gets blown out easy in high winds even w/a guard.. and yeh cant level...

    Need HAM radio for upcoming ROF trip. Need Ideas.

    sounds about right, dont think I paid more than $80 for either of em.. the discriminator is super easy to tap for an external TNC and they are super rugged w/great sensitivity.. I got one one in my server racks hooked up to a Diamond F22A on the roof, serving as an igate and it is RXing over 90...

    Quick Update, it's been confirmed.. the Discover Flyer is coming back to the InTech lineup later this year.. seems they moved the kitchen indoors and updated some things, If you call em up they seem happy to talk about it. So I didn't make any progress on the new control cabinetry over the off...

    Small freezer and Yeti cooler with ice bricks vs Large fridge/freezer

    If you want drinking ice, get a large double walled thermos and fill it with ice.. I got like a gallon sized one that holds ice inside my fridge longer than it takes my wife to use it all w/her whiskey.. Ive found ice in there a week later and wife was refilling it at fuel stations before I got...

    Small freezer and Yeti cooler with ice bricks vs Large fridge/freezer

    For the price of a couple Yeti Buckets your most of the way to a fridge.. let alone their coolers, go craigslist that to some other sucker and get the fridge you want.

    Small freezer and Yeti cooler with ice bricks vs Large fridge/freezer

    its going to have to run all the time to freeze the packs while the others thaw out, it takes days to freeze stuff, a DC freezer is to keep stuff frozen, they wont get down to negative temps like your home freezer that zaps those things solid in no time.. its going to be an losing game and...

    best charging method?

    those orion's can be parallelized too, so if you have ambitions to run double the power through it you can just add another one.. just leave room for it when you install this one without a bunch of rewiring.. On my vehicle I checked the wiring and fuses and it should be capable of running 20A...

    best charging method?

    Your tow vehicle should be able to handle 120W of load out that pin, its probably fused for like 30A.. it just wont charge a battery very well with voltage drop alone.. A static load of Watts, will pull more amps as the voltage goes down.. so if its getting 12.2V in your trailer at 10A, your...
