Transporter? You dont have to worry about those here.. VW'll put you in a Dodge Grand Caravan and call it a Routan.

Simple way to add a circuit to your fuse box: https://www.amazon.com/Littelfuse-FHA200BP-ATO-Add-A-Circuit-Kit/dp/B0002BGELQ You need more than a cap, also gonna need a diode or whats gonna stop everything else in the car from sucking that cap dry and not your radio?

Seriously, my radio doing APRS packet TX every 15m in my driveway goes like a week before I gotta jump start the vehicle.. there's no reason to shut it off unless your not gonna drive it in the next 24-48h.. If you wired it up to a low voltage disconnect set to like 12.4v it'd never risk you not...

false positives on fault triggers..

my ole lady is the first to demand I deflate after I slam her arround a few times, I like to think my suspension is great 99% of the time.. I'm smitten with the way it tows, daily drives, handles corners with such weight, dont deathwobble, and how it performs on snow/most dirt.. BUT, it has its...

Ah yes, lets us all rebuild our overweight expedition vehicles into tiny lil purpose built offroaders with oversized tires so we can all be spared the brutal labor of deflating, now why didnt I think of that..

As soon as someone makes a pripotary expo trailer plug thats submersible to 90ft, Locking, with a 2awg power feed, air supply, camera lines and most importantly a swivel base so they can do barrel rolls with their fully articulating hitch you know this crowd is go nuts trying to give their money...

if just a saftey mechanism and not something your trying to rely on, a Jolt/impact sensor out on the wings sorta like they put on those electronic awnings to close in wind perhaps.. added benefit that the'd retract if weather got nasty and you were away from camp. Indicators can be real simple...

Its made of Aluminum, and only $20: https://www.wearecb.com/pca40-hood-fender-mount.html

yeah it is a ton of solar but LFP can take it, a pair of panasonic HIT 325W panels.. one is fixed on roof w/angle iron protection and the other is stored inside for portable use, I need to fabricate up a hanging system to drape it off the outside vertically, was going to use my rear gate but...

if all I have is water in there yeah, but ive also got all the other food thats mostly water.. and if a few pouds of it are frozen, like a big slab of bacon or two then all that changes.. its not so cut and dry, its also colder at night so if your cooling in the day w/extra solar when its heat...

agreed, I dont really care about energy storage now w/Lithium density.. most of my fridge were habits picked up when I was trying to scrape by with minimal battery/solar.. with 30lbs of LFP Ive now got an energy surplus and the idea of drinking anything warm seems ludicrous heh.. now just having...

Thought you guys might wanna read this post: https://www.clubtouareg.com/threads/arb-is-ready-to-make-front-diff-lock-for-t1-t2-cayenne-same-years-but-need-your-help.291635/#post-2076207

thats a damn good idea, Ive got a handful of those same small nalgenes full of various soaps (dish/hand/body/laundry) because I got sick of em exploding open w/altitude changes, those never made a mess in the last decade.. never occurred to me to look for bigger ones, they do pack very nice...

We do that simply by just adding water bottles to the fridge as we empty it when the solar inputs are good, I dont freeze em because I dont want everything in the fridge frozen but they are a great mass buffer and once they are chilled they keep power consumption minimal.. then we can drink the...

Might see if FCPEuro.com has em or can get em, they have a great no questions asked lifetime replacement guarantee.. I'm pretty sure I've seen Arnott struts on their site for other vehicles.

If your going to travel in a modern vehicle take a code reader with you, just takes a few moments and lets you know if its something you should head to town for or just forget about it til later.. Ive driven all over the country in Volkswagens, I always hadda code reader on me.. because the...

noise can be easily handled when sleeping, unplug it.. it'll run a lil harder in the morning but if its well packed full of cold mass it'll easily maintain safe refrigerator temps overnight.. popular hypermiling technique for solar users is to burn that excess unused energy when batteries...

normal fridge power consumption can easily double, triple or more your needs when your trying to actively remove a bunch of heat instead of just maintain temps.. your plan sounds like your gonna run your fridge at basically full duty cycle trying to freeze a bunch of stuff.. at that point you...

ayup plus the remote speaker and power input, my D710 radio is in trunk and remote head unit, speaker, and mic are in the front over two runs of cat6 + speaker extension wire tucked under the carpet.. so I choked em all off, runs parallel and across quite a bit of wiring harnesses, my car has...
