top loaders have the advantage that gravity keeps em closed and all the cold air dont pour out when you get in it.. which means its not going to open on the trail, and use less electricity if your constantly getting in it to grab a beer.. sounds like you needa make a slideout tray for it or buy...

So I was bouncing around Wikipedia stuck in the quagmire of untangling interesting information when I ran across a footnote on the MURS page regarding this company: https://gotennamesh.com/ Anyone heard of these before? They operate on the 915Mhz ISM band which is pretty much globally...

its not that it cant its that it shouldn't because thats the max rating for the battery. which I never normally approach, even with my 1200VA inverter.. its to pop if it exceeds 200A, because the only circumstances tha'd happen is there is a short.. its high enough over my maximum loads it wont...

Look at the bluesea battery post fuses, size it appropriately to your main fuse box feed so it'd pop before the wire melts.. I have like a 200A on mine with a heavy feed wire (00) coming off battery to distribution system.. wire can handle like 500A but my battery cant output more than 200A and...

Victron SmartSolar will stop charging in its lithium profile when it gets near freezing based upon external temp input from either a BMV or their dedicated BT temp monitor.. Ive tested and confirmed this behavior.

yep thats how I'm doing it, roof top has one controller and portable is getting its own.. If you go w/Victron MPPT solar they are testing a feature right now that lets multiple SmartSolar's stay in sync so they both go from bulk/absorb/float together.

it'd be best to use seperate controllers for portable vs fixed.. if you wire em all together its likely one or the other will be bypassed since they are different pannels in different locations. Aluminum would work, compared to my panel the angle is not much weight.. since mine's so tall I...

10.anything volts is a flat battery as far as lead acid is concerned, might not be enough to fire the pump up even if LVD is bypassed.. remember the voltage you see at battery is not what fridge sees at end of its cabling, unless you pull it apart and stick a probe in there, yet still its within...

10.9v is resting volts, but under load its hitting 10.1v

yeah should be wired up, Battery -> Shunt -> Chassis/Everything Else.. nothing should be connected to negative bank terminal until after it goes through the shunt.

I used my lil 400w xantrex inverter mostly for charging my dewalt sawzall and laptops, some things I charged so infrequently I couldn't justify the cost of a DC charger.. just the dewalt car charger is $90, got my inverter used off ebay for like $60..

Stainless Steel w/Locking washers + locktite for good measure.. Rivnuts would be ideal IMO.. its 1/4in thick angle, the roof racks are aluminum.. you might get some of those buttresses off the Intech store if your attaching multiple skinnier panels or find some way to make the cross bars more...

diesels wont notice the extra tire weight much, city fuel economy will be impacted slightly but highway and steady travel not really.. still lots of neck snaping torque, with no ponies later in the power band to back em up. i'm on 245/65/17, road is ~45psi and I've got nearly 40k on em so far..

I still think he needs to check that his shunt is installed the right direction..

these are easy to DIY if you take your time, I made one out of a milk crate and someone on here just posted one up he shoved in a Pelican case.. Bonus is you know how it works and its repairable, you can replace failed components like batteries, chargers, inverters, etc without trashing the...

https://www.amazon.com/Newport-Vessels-Trolling-Battery-Center/dp/B01AE2TG7G/ Just add a MPPT controller, how much amps you need for solar? I used a Genasun MPPT controller because it was tiny and easy to fit in my battery box

my tongue hitch is attached to the jack (triangle hitch not beam), would not be so easy to just unbolt the hitch.. and that also presumes they brought another one to bolt back on right? You can tack weld em sure, but be careful they are like grade 10 bolts and welding em could ******** with their...

Yeah I drove over cumberland pass last year, after that I bought some tire deflators because it was a rough slow ride at full pressure.. had a bunch of snow to deal with on north side but that was Memorial Day weekend.. by Labor day hopefully its all cleared.. I also bought a recovery strap...

If you bolt it down, you cant put anything under it to level it.. which means your vehicle/trailer has to be good and level to make stuff like eggs.. I'm redoing my slide out here soon, just going to bungee the stove down while in transport.

its vented into the cabin, just sitting in a plastic box under my seat.. it does have a regulated charger that keeps it from overcharging the thing.
