Here's what I used for that: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C4V3086/ - Under Chassis light (mounted on center beam) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026X950K/ - Inside Door https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006P1ZEAY/ - Dusk to Dawn Switch

yeah with a truck camper you can use your engine instead, your'll want a DC to DC changing system for it and some heavy gauge wiring.. if you double up batteries your going to need to double up your charge amps or double the charge time.. raising the amps raises the costs significantly as your...

You dont need as much capacity with Lithium as you would with lead, looking at your load out I think you'd be perfectly happy with a single BattleBorn.. spend the money either on more solar panels or better yet a generator.. I'd only do a dual lithium setup if I wanted to make the jump to 24v so...

I mounted it forward like that so it'd be somewhat level, roofline slope gets steeper the further back.. if I moved it all the way back I think id need longer bolts and to stack a bunch of washers to level it back out.. also I'd like to put a light bar on it potentially and I'm going to need to...

These are what I use for fusing a new large circuit right off the battery: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019ZBTV4/ this is a decent help: http://circuitwizard.bluesea.com/ you should have a fuse near the battery that will blow before your wiring takes damage.

Fridges w/Low Voltage Disconnects (LVD) can be fickle since they are sensing voltage so far away from the battery, when battery gets low it can cause em to shut down prematurely.. gave me grief w/my ARB fridge, I dunno if NL has an internal LVD but many have hard set values so after a bit of a...

You guys are to blame for this, I never found a photo of an Audi w/FrontRunner rack but after seeing your Cayenne's with em I was sold.

Comet CA-2X4SR, nice wide dual bander w/good swr up high towards GMRS freqs.. not that I would ever operate my D710 outside of spec ;) This was my best option honestly for a good mount on this vehicle, the roof is aluminum, I chicken shitted outta drilling a NMO mount through that, all the...

You can charge at whatever rate your batteries will take a charge at, not what the alternator puts out.. most people have >100A alternators, yet a single 12v battery typically wont take more than 15-20A and only for a short time, majority of the charge will be <10A.. you can go through all that...

The problem with trailers is vehicle charging is its slow, your trailer wiring can only provide a few amps at best so unless you intend on driving >8h+ when your batteries go flat you wont ever get back to full and then at your next site you've got even less capacity, and so on and so forth.. If...

If this is your first setup I would suggest a dual 6v golf cart battery setup, its the most capacity for the least money and robust enough to handle abuse from someone figuring out what they need and how far they can push things.. however if you see Lithium in your future (which is wise, prices...

I keep a print version of the repeater book in the rig JIC..

I didnt want it to fold over and then have it impact the back door when my son kicks that thing open at mach1.. on the chance that it might turn more than 90 degrees.

Best thing too do right now is use what you got and put a shunt w/meter in your camper, go out this season and keep a journal of how much you consumed and the length of each trip.. come up with an average and then start designing from there.. solar is usually the last thing to go on, after...

Got it installed yesterday, next up to install the Kenwood D710 and mount my spare tire up top.

2-3 days off a 48aH? yeah right.. you do know you shouldn't use more than 60% of that capacity right? you only have about 28aH unless you want to buy new batteries every season.. need your CPAP wattage, 1.3A on 120v is ~156W.. which on 12v is 13A, plus inverter losses.. if it pulls 150W...

Diesel for long haul is not going to go away anytime soon, diesel commuters are doomed to be replaced by PEV though. NOx is only terrible in cities w/smog issues and high population concentrations tbh, outside those cities with low population density emitting NOx is better than emitting CO2...

TireRack, but I have a distribution center in town so its just order and go pickup. For mounting I have a mobile guy who stops by in a cargo truck, he does em in my driveway and I can enjoy a beer and chat him up/check his work without burning an hour or more in a smelly tire shop waiting...

They did, but only for a short while.. its now been discontinued.. InTech said it took up too much room in shop, like requiring a bunch of scaffolding and was slowing output down. My wife posted that pic to their FB group, they asked if they could use it in marketing.. she gave em permission...

Current setup, Its an Audi but in the VAG Family: My old MK6 TDI Adventure Setup: My 1975 Westfallia: 2001 GTI 3.0L VR6 Turbo The only one I dont have anymore is the MK6, Gave it back to VW to buy me the Audi..
