I saw a teardrop on show room floor once with one installed.. I'd start off by going to HarborFreight and measuring the inner dimensions of one of those Apache boxes and then browsing amazon and see what fits.. but I got a feeling their biggest one wont be big enough.. might have to shell out...

what device are you using to post to these forums? (Windows/Mac/Android/iOS/etc)

are these boosted? if so you need the slower burn of higher octane to prevent pre-detonation under full boost in conditions when the ECU might not respond to quick enough.. if these are naturally aspirated, using lower octane will just result in ECU retarding the timing, resulting in a drop in...

drive more, engineer less.. is this really just a one time trip? get a friggin hitch cargo rack and call it a day.

from what Ive read the on demand heaters seem to work great, I think the key though is sizing one appropriate for your pump, you can always decrease flow but cant increase it.. I'll be adding a pressure switched pump, surge tank thats sized to the heater that fits my little area.. I have no...

the pelican stuff is permanently fixed to trailer.. the case just protects it on trail.

I'm going to put an on demand into my kitchen slideout this summer, I've seen quite a few people fit em into a pelican case and mount em externally.. open it up, hookup hoses and go.. you can then setup a shower around it if you'd like that. hot water is the last luxury my wife wants, washing...

great, your safety chains will hold onto whats left of your tongue while rest of trailer flies off a cliff.. so your replacing your hardened steel receiver pin and hitch, with a $56 gear motor as far as weak links.. also whats going to automatically extend it when you turn? if you have to make...

If you went and got your original fixed asap and kept speeds down I think it'd be fine.. if you have to cover some distance mebe replace the diff fluid sooner than later since you ran it at a high duty cycle.. I'm no expert but in a pinch it cant be that bad, factory donuts and are rarely full...

sounds like y'all are trying to build a pair of mars rovers designed for a 90 day mission but hoping for 15 years.. not a part time overlanding rig.. most of the lithium info is for big boat banks, or EV vehicles.. few people on here are full timers, so 30-60 cycles a year and then sitting at...

Nice and legal.. How much is it gonna cost to cover your legal defense after your insurance refuses to be liable for the damage your aero rig did to some innocent bystanders.

hey pass whatever your high on over here, quit bogarting it.. You've gone well past over thinking this and are now into danger zone.. spending $3k to save $20 in fuel is kinda pointless.. and nothing is going to change the fact your still towing with a prius.. at least my car was a diesel, I...

yeah that voltage difference is going to be a problem, I dunno if 15.4v will even fire up a MPPT controller.. my victron requires +5v over VBatt to start charging. can you stack another panel ontop of your existing rigid one and make that portable?

for parallel they are blocking diodes I've never seen a flexible panel that had any diodes, part of making em thin and lightweight is ditching the junction box on the back of em... spec sheet makes no mention of any diodes, so one must assume there are none.. that panel is designed to be the...

If your running panels w/out bypass diodes built in, or installed externally.. you should really only be running one or else one will get shaded and drag the other down with it so the whole system is only as capable of the weakest cell.

$1300 for a 120W panel? yesh buy another lithium for that.. I just dropped $850 to load up my BB100AH w/650W of panels.. since rover is not going to have capability of carrying alot of solar, I'd just forget about it.. do what you can cheaply and make fit, but rely on your alternator for...

Wired the portable panel up to 100ft of 12awg marine cable, through the pre-provisioned solar outlet on the trailer.. and hit the max output for the 100/30 controller pretty easily now that I have it on a 40A fuse.. I'm going to put 150ft of wire in three 50ft sections on a reel. as you can...

oh yeah thats the top of my mind.. I'm making a steel frame its going to sit in that will carry the weight from multiple load points on the panel and keep it rigid. If I was any good w/3d software or drawing I'd post up what I'm thinking and gather feedback, but I'm a left handed programmer so...

Lithium is going to become the norm here real fast.. Li = Lithium Fe = Iron Po4= Phosphate LiFePo4 = Lithium Iron Phosphate aka LFP

so Thursday I woke up and the panels were covered in a dusting of snow, SOC was ~41%, I didn't expect much as it was rather dismal all day staying around freezing with bouts of more flurries.. came home to 47%, heck yeah. This morning I woke up to a better day, was mostly cloudy but the sun...
