oh one last piece of advice, remember conditions might not be the same going in as the way out.. for easter I pulled through some technical stuff to get to the spot I wanted, easy peasy.. no worries at all, 2 days later we go to leave in a complete downpour of slush/snow mix.. and my confidence...

spinning tires is alot harder when you have a few hundred extra pounds hanging off the back heh (unless its a beach/dunes).. put brakes on it even if its small enough to not need em, and put brake controller within reach.. when your going down a steep grade with loose gravel under you best to...

once you add any fabric popup section you might as well not have any insulation, heat rises.. It takes the same BTU to keep my Westfallia warm as it does my trailer.. and my trailer has canvas sides and has ton more air to heat.. but its not just flowing out the top of my Westy like it was a...

I thought about building a trailer, but I decided to take my kids camping before they moved out.. You'd be surprised how quickly all that crap adds up, a CargoCraft "Offroad" Trailer w/torsion axles on steel frame and wood floors runs 16-17k somewhat sized like mine.. you can buy a basic road...

These are what I bought: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Panasonic-2-pcs-HIT-VBHN325KA03-325W-Mono-All-Black-Solar-PNL-NEW-40-MM-FRAME/264253263164 I'm loving em, the fixed roof top one has been pretty much adequate here in Colorado for weekending, just need a few hours of sun at any point of the day...

people make bigger deal over wood floors than they should.. shrug, they are completely sealed off from the bottom and I can go around and screw anchors down wherever I want on the inside.. wood is still a fine building material, and the aluminum/wood construction is still going to be leaps and...

Ive been camping soft sided with Grizzlies all my life, I'm not concerned about them.. I've got an 8yro and a 2yro that been camping with em since birth, plus two dogs in the camper... there's only one camp in the west that don't allow soft sided and thats in YNP, and its not a very good camp...

Yup, this also allows me to protect the battery when the inverter is in heavy usage.. Inverter will draw power down below LVD shut off pretty fast, then other loads become second priority and drop off.. this is desired because my inverter can pull max discharge rate out of the battery.. so if...

that provides 12v power to for the switch panel, the diode is there to keep flow in one direction.. my switch panel is lit up, and the output from the BMV when power is off makes the switch really dim because its not outputting much current.. that diode allows those switch lights to be powered...

shrug, I got a 20ft intech and it seems plenty big for a family of 4 with two dogs.. I got married in GNP, rented a cabin outside for the family and stuff.. too much driving IMO.. I liked it better in the park because there's alot of great hikes thats gonna take all day you cant do if it takes...

They sell those at lowes over by the chain section that has a swivel loop at one end and a clip at the other.. if they hold a dog on a dog-run the'll hold a tarp.

IIRC Intech is no longer using ply flooring as of 2019 model year

one is 6v the other is 12v, there's no guarantee both have identical cells within (they probably dont because 6v cells are bigger than 12v ones).. those are some hella expensive batteries to not do right.. Sounds like you should put the 12v in as a separate bank, put a transfer switch on your...

See Post #4, your battery bank is only as strong as its weakest cell.. Batteries are a combination of cells to reach the desired voltage, when those cells dont play well together the battery dies.. a battery bank is a combination of little batteries to make a big battery bank, just like all...

I think you underestimate the cost of shipping hazardous goods from Australia.

@Superduty thats a bunch of nonsense by someone with an antique phone wondering why old bluetooth works better than new bluetooth.. I've had no issues and great range, but I've got a Pixel2 and it can do all the new fancy BT4 stuff.. SmartSolar is preferred because it frees that VE.Direct port...

Staff Comments @ https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/8178/why-doesnt-the-documentation-warn-that-multiple-mp.html I think its a problem generally with multiple smart-charging MPPT's because if there is something else raising battery voltage they wouldn't know about it and would think...

Same size as my 325w, Yeah its definitely a two person move and most people dont have the storage room, but on the other hand.. its too big to walk off with.. If you get a lil Victron SmartSolar for your portable, and a bigger one for your fixed you can take advantage of a feature coming soon...

My bus has a custom made window cover for my westy that wraps around the sides, you can still see out in day (in at night) but they do pretty damn well at keeping the sun out of the cabin.. they make completely opaque ones, and with screens for your side windows and other features.. they might...

I'd get the Renology w/out controller @ https://www.amazon.com/RENOGY-Foldable-Suitcase-Without-Controller/dp/B00LXG4AXS/ You dont want the controller on the back of the panel anyhow, it needs to be as close to the battery as possible and let the high voltage run be the longer.. I'd suggest...
