MicroUSB charging, nice job.. it makes life alot easier when you dont need special charging cradles out in the field, I've been requiring this for some time now and its quite nice. edit midland mucked up and made good on it

man I really miss my 2013 Golf TDI 6MT w/Tech Package.. was seriously the best vehicle I ever had, I never ever intended on giving it back and then one day got curious and just checked what VW would give me for it.. thats the day I learned everything has a price, my wife had to drive me home...

its just a plastic cover for a dual stage regulator, does your stove expect low pressure or high pressure? My furnace, stove, and wave heater all run off the onboaord regulator.. the 1# appliance tap is for devices that want high pressure, like my lantern mostly..

VW Currently makes the AllTrack Golfs which are AWD and get excellent fuel economy.. can get em in 6MT, and are wagons.. but they are not setup like the country was for rough terrain, skid plates and a lift would likely be needed.

Firestone Air Spring Kit, you vacuum them down, squeeze em inside the springs and I pumped em up to pressure by hand to keep ass from sagging and being too bouncy.. I think I looked into the Touareg/Q7/Cayenne's capability to take these with their steel suspension, and IIRC they are unable due...

I was using this and it worked well enough for the cost: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071L8LTJZ/

FWIW Lexan and Makrolon are the same things just different brand names.. you would want UV resistant or it'll yellow, scratch resistant would be good to have also.. good wind storm out in desert could sandblast em nicely.

I wanna play along, presuming your talking about a dumb ignition keyed relay.. why would this be a problem? you cant possibly be dwelling your plugs for long enough to recharge your house battery.. most 12v batteries charge on average ~10A, mebe up to 20A but only for a short while and only if...

Today I wired up a 12v to 5v voltage regulator w/a nicely soldered and shrink wrapped wiring harness, its hidden behind the speaker box.. it provides power for my handheld radio charger and a Bluetooth Trailer leveler. I didnt really like it when my wife would have to get between the car and...

If you hop over to Canada you might be able to score a Golf Country

moar heat, installed propex hs2800 to prepare for some early season adventuring.. now I got ~16k BTU of LP heat and a 1500W 120V heater, should be good for anything nature throws my way.. (I know famous last words eh) Still needa clean up some of the wiring and mount that dangling intake...

all I needed to fit my 17in Cayenne wheels over my big brembo calipers was an angle grinder.. heh... I sold my 20's off before I curbed em and reshaped the caliper tops to make the appropriate clearance for 17.. Ive got 30k miles on my $700 set of KO2's now and they still got plenty of life...

if your not running a winch through it and just using it for dropping engine battery from a low load env that will never happen, your battery would have to be capable of accepting 100A charge or you'd need a load of 100A.. Your battery likely cant take more than 20A of charge current even if...

You might be able to get away with something like that, I'm not sure honestly, I need more brain activity than I have this late on a Friday to compute this clever idea.. however personally if I were in your shoes I'd toss in a small deka battery dedicated for ONLY starting and then use a dual...

no, this is a low voltage disconnect.. it disconnects loads automatically before the battery goes flat or gets damaged.. it goes between batteries and loads traditionally. you just need an automatic connect relay, just connect the batteries when engine is running and isolate em when they are...

12.3 would be a good starting point, thats what my dash cam LVD is set at and it always starts up my diesel just fine even on the coldest morning... test it around the house and see what your comfortable with, if they are just luxury loads like radio and lighting then set it and see if you get a...

This just appeared on Amazon's website's today thats how I found it by happenstance, I wrote a review for the old non smart battery protect earlier this week and instead of the usual few hours before I got the "thank you for your review" email it took a few days and finally appeared in my mail...

well if you have low voltage and you engage the relay, for a small 10A relay or something its likely a quater to half watt.. not alot yeah, but if its winterized or something this could be fatal to the battery.. if you need a big starter relay or something for high amp loads then your looking at...

https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/smart-batteryprotect-lvd.203355/ Screw using coil relays, those will draw enough power to be considered a parasitic drain on their own.

yeah I've been using my BMV to enforce custom set points and over voltage but this does alot of it internally.. unfortunately it does not look like you can set high voltage disconnect, which woulda been very usefull if it coulda latched close once recharged. One thing that strikes me, now you...
