    Side mount tilt-up solar panel mounts.

    Also good at lower latitudes in the winter, snow wont pile up on em.. and you can get a nice powerboost from snow reflecting light, I hear if you get far enough north in the winter the'll output more power with a bit of ground tilt... I'm mounting my portable one somewhat like this, so I can...

    Can you temporarily bring into Europe a US-registered pickup with a bull bar?

    Diesel for overlanding- are you happy with the choice?

    or just throw all that pesky emissions crap on a shelf in the garage and you can run whatever fuel you like.. and get better fuel economy to boot. I've never had any issues finding fuel and I been driving diesels for decades, when I go out to BFE I bring a fuel can just incase.. but its never...

    Dreadlocks outfitting of InTech Discover

    Few years back we had a Wolf in camp, in Colorado none the less.. but he was there for the dog food I just put out, me and my Pyrenees ran his ass away.. I've encountered lots of bear hiking/backpacking, thankfully none ever in camp.

    Dreadlocks outfitting of InTech Discover

    yes its fixed, and lol no.. I store fuel up there and use it to clean the solar panel off.. it has to be pulled out to use it, if my cats could climb up there they would had figured it out already because they loved sleeping on the bus when I had it parked where I now store this. I camp with...

    Intech RV

    Good luck with that, as far as I can tell they only made a dozen or so of em.. they changed name in middle of the run too so they might not all be listed as discover.. forget what they started out calling em. latest pic in tow:

    Dreadlocks outfitting of InTech Discover

    So far this summer the fixed panel has been more than adequate, taken it out nearly every other week and have not even used the generator once this season.. This weekend we got our first bit of overcast, and I was still seeing ~100W of power out of it.. Going to hold off plans on the second...

    https://www.renntech.org/topic/51143-battery-discharge-protection-active/ Q7 has an onboard DC charger that ages out the battery, Kinda thought you guys would have it too since it seems like its trying to avoid overcharging battery stored under the driver.. which would prevent outgassing or...

    They have other sellers of that type of cable, thats just whom I bought mine from so I suggested it.. I wouldent get individual wire strings, 100ft of that would end up in a big christmas light ball of knots. I only use whats needed, if I put it right by the trailer.. 25ft of wire on it.. if I...

    where are the Porsche cayenne expo builds?

    I just put the OEM battery back in it, make sure you reset the onboard charger w/a diagnostics tool.. it ages out the battery and will undercharge your new one unless told it has a new battery. Apparently there's a secret switch for Porsche's that enables battery protection, normally its off.
