There are a ton of folks with amazing inside builds and tweaks, way better than me. So many places to post though, so few have found this site. Because of this, I'm going to post a few of my build videos, hope it will get a few folks here who have better work, to show their stuff! But for...

Like simple said, you have to press and hold a button on the Anker, to actually get power to all the ports, even dc! They are not "on" all the time, to save power. The maxxair fan pulls 2W to 35W, I have a writeup somewhere with watts at each setting 1 to 10. But the car port should be...

Did you test the voltage going to the fan, and confirm you are getting power? What inline fuse, and why? Fuse is there to protect the wire, did you size the fuse to the wire? Anker c1000 already has fused outputs, with amp limits on the supply. I mean, it's pretty simple... test to see if...

The jackery 500 has an external charger that already converts the AC to DC, doesn't it? Posted that before, but I understand not reading lo ger threads for sure! But smaller and older power stations like jackery 500 have external charge brick, an ac to dc converter already. Newer or larger...

I bought this 12v power box with 11 ports, tested the ports and did a review. This might be a good all in one dc port solution for folks that want to just hook up an inexpensive 12v LiFePO4 lithium battery and run all their dc camper stuff. Plenty of ports for fan, lights, heater, blanket...

The app does work with bluetooth. Info on app is good. However, I have had the app fail to connect or find tthe thing several times. Basically I end up pressing dc and ac button together to reset the wifi so it is on and findable. However, then you must be on a wifi network you know password...

I looked again, they did update their webpage a lot and have some decent info. Nothing on pricing though, and they say build fall23 for spring 24 delivery, so what Hodor said above, maybe they are oushed back a year now? A lot of good sounding things, for sure. I'd like to know more. I sure...

Also, you said haitus was only canopy hard side popup, but actually Oru designs has a full pop with hard sides...

Ourisman toyota. Best prices. I got my shocks from suspensionlifts.com, class act good price. Rock auto is good for parts too.

People get confused on picking the right size wires to feed a camping house battery from an alternator dc dc charger. Things like total circuit length, voltage drop, the right DC ampacity charts, etc. So I made a quick video for a Tacoma on finding the right wire size.

Good idea, thx. I will try on my Tacoma.

Hmm, I guess I did get it on one of their sales, because it was in an email with good price. Plus I'm like a HF Premier Big Wig Superdude or such, lol. So I get good discounts, all those 50% off coupons etc. $25 starts to be a bit spendy for a light tape you know is gonna break. But better...

Ok, here is the higher quality lightbar for inside camper. This is similar to the Alu-Cab red/white light, I like this one a lot for installing a single light in camper that will do red or white, instead of two lights. This is the 12", they also have a 20" version. Amazon link is in the video...

Camp and Camper Lighting using Red, Amber, and/or soft white, is always desired but hard to find one light that does it all. This one from Harbor Freight is just $10, and has a nice dimmable white, that can be used with any color or alone. It's an easy solution that lets you choose any combo...

Panels are 20.3 voc, -0.33%/c, and 5.9A. Your power station 11-60v, and 60v is the number to avoid! If you go over 60v, it will burn out power station. However, the power station will self limit to 15A and 500w max without issue. So, 2 panels in series gives 40.6v. Not sure what voc is rated...

Made a new video, showing complete system and using my 480w power supply to charge the power station. This is how I am actually using it now. Getting 280W, which is about like a dc to dc 20A charger. Five hours will about recharge my 1536 Watt-hrs power station. Remember, this is a "brickless"...

@burleyman , I'm interested in this using 7 pin tow connector. My understanding is that power there is very minimal, and is just supplied for trailer running lights or brake controller. I have recently added a 3rd brake light to my camper from this 7pin, and the wires there are quite small...

@SlowCarFast said what I would have ;) What you ask for is the exact reason dc to dc alternator chargers exist-- charge a 2nd battery while car runs, without letting starter battery get drawn down.

Seems unnecessary. Initial startup is just 110w for like 3 or 4 minutes. So total of like 7 Watt-hrs to start. Then it runs at 12 W to 45W at highest. If you already have a dc dc, and want a backup, juat hook it up to your other battery. I assume by lipo you actually mean LiFePO4 12v...

I can't believe he built that thing, without a complete plan for the sleeping platform...
