incase there is a fault and that becomes a drain for a short it wont start a fire.

those are the ones that if physically damaged start a fire that cant really be put out.. if yeh ever see a lil smoke come out you got seconds to throw it as far as it can or it'll go all samsung on you.

So today was an unusual day here in my sunny state, non stop rain.. all clouds, absolutely no direct sun. woke up to 55% SOC, came home from work to 62% SOC.. and its gonna snow tonight. However, at this rate.. I could handle several more days of no sun with the lil bit of solar I am managing...

try radials next time, mine came with bias ply and I went with higher load radials after I wore those out.. made a dramatic difference, was much smoother and tracked better at high speed.

Controllers should be sized for total VOC and then some.. not VMP, those ratings are at lab temps of like 78F IIRC.. as temps drop, those voltages will go up.. If you get a 75V controller and hook it up to 70V of panels, you could go for a good while til that one bad day in the winter when...

standing it up would be a bit of a challenge, I tried once and noped it outta that.. if you had a pulley and a hand winch it could be done solo I suspect. wish I woulda taken more photos.. here it is before 4th of July weekend 2013, has a LP tank and a fridge on the tongue.. fishing pole holder...

1x1.5" Aluminum, not sure what gauge.. 12-14ish

I towed at least 40k miles with my hatchback, compared to driving a truck that much fuel savings more than paid for the trailer.. never stayed at KOA's, mostly improved state campgrounds with a few dispersed sites mixed in.. cost me about $0.10 a mile TCO by the time I out grew it.. was a super...

Today was fully cloudy and raining, I never saw the sun at all.. before work was at 66% SOC, got home and its at 78% SOC, so it not only powered the fridge all day long but regained 12% SOC in abysmal conditions.. fridge is basically empty right now too so I bet its running more than it would if...

this was a route I had long thought about back when I was car camping, but instead this is the point in which I said fuckit and bought my space trailer, with extended tongue so I could get in the hatch and back up easier.. Aero was great, my diesel golf got 36mpg @ 75mph with trailer at...

yep 325W each, 650W total.. about $1.30 a watt, which is not terrible given its a premium panel and most budget panels are ~$1 per watt.. Delivery was super quick, bought on Friday had em on Tuesday. I chose these panels for a couple of reasons: its 96 cell so its working at higher voltages...

In storage its not really level so it has a natural tilt, keeps big dirt stains off roof too, if I manage to get it level when boondocking thats a miracle.. if its rainy I try to jack up the front end a bit so the kitchen area dont get swamped out, easy enough to tilt whole trailer.. it does...

the technique Ive been using for a while is a small grille ontop of an LP stove, build a lil pyramid ontop of the grille, carry it over to the burner, kick it on for 3-4 mins to get coals going then carry it back to the charcoal fire and add more coal

Mounted and secured, the angle iron extends a lil past the panels in both directions to act as a branch deflector to lift it up over the panel instead of crashing into its corner. edit Conduit Ran.. its getting painted now.. here's a photo of raw metal because it contrasts better

Drained it down to 20% disconnect overnight, great day of sun, just a few clouds here and there on portable panel.. didnt move it or re-aim it at all, just spot I left it yesterday proped up with a milk crate (so not much tilt) by noon I was back to 80% SOC, by 2PM I was at 96% SOC.. with...

Just about any bone stock base model wrangler ever made will be capable of completing all but the most insane trails, with good AT tires and a driver who knows how to pick good lines.. they can get to places trucks cant with ease. A trail I like around here called spring creek I could do in a...
