the TK-860H is 0.28 μV sensitive, my TM-281 is less than 0.18 μV.. the duplexer is a nice filter and would cut down on intermod and stuff nicely, but insertion losses and the fact that im working largely with rather low power handhelds make me want more.. beyond the duplexer I have a diplexer...

fwiw the victron 20A is $160, and 15A is under $140 and you dont have to use the app.. you can purchase an external panel mount display if you like and program it through that.. he already has a Victron BMV so they would match nicely and use the same app and could even share like battery temp...

well in his defense milsurp trailers are highly coveted on these forums.. and I've seen plenty of axle problems with solid beam setups as well Looked up Martyn's decade old article on it in way back machine, and my experience is like polar opposite.. my rig does fantastic on washboard roads...

Why would they? Ive got dexter torsion axles and I have no idea how OP came to conclusion to avoid torsion axles.. they are far better than leaf springs, on road or off road and give you much better clearance.

Just check spec sheet: https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Datasheet-SmartSolar-charge-controller-MPPT-100-30-&-100-50-EN.pdf That means with a 12v system you can have up to 440W of solar panels, those panels can be at any voltage under 100V 300W / 12V = 25A, so a 300W panel would...

shrug, with non fixed panels I chased the sun with em all day and found it obnoxious.. but I needed alot more solar than I could carry at the time so I kept panels nice and clean and drug em around the forest seeking out direct sunlight. I may be totally abnormal, but I accepted that decades ago.

If you use PWM then you wire your panels up in parallel, if you use MPPT then you'd probably want to wire em up in a series, this will take advantage of higher voltages for less losses and better output. Victron Chargers provide datalogging and a bunch of stats via bluetooth, which is really...

yeah go out and use it with what you got and get a feel for how much capacity you need vs how often you drive to recharge it.. mebe your fine within your budget for now but looking at the equipment in those campers you may desire more and use the vehicle house as a reserve, those RV style...

If you got a dual battery setup, the best bang for the buck is a pair of 6v golf cart batteries (most lead for least money).. AGM's benefits in small mobile battery banks are minimal and not worth the cost.. you'd rather have batteries you can use, abuse and replace without it hurting the wallet...

sure sounds like you got a dead cell internally.. if so, there aint no saving em.

you can have up to 16 SSID's, they are just a -# at end.. like WXXXX-1, WXXXX-2 and you dont even need that, ideally your only transmitting from one location at a time and your other units become receivers.. there's some debate on this, many operators feel stations should always be manned by a...

APRS is a packet radio network for HAM operators, me I'd slap this onto a canoe or dirt bike and anyone left at base camp would know our position in real time.. I've got an APRS transceiver in my trailer, house and soon my tow vehicle.. My mom really love it when I go off the grid for weeks at...

I'll take 2nd dibs if @TheDriver falls through..

I've not seen any US pricing yet, where you getting $1800 from? I can import the EU model for ~$900 + Shipping Its higher output than the big propex, and has variable output which would be great for minimal electrical consumption and noise.. things I'd pay a lil bit more for, but not 2x

Look at Propex or Truma VarioHeat.. the latter is just released in North America and I'm already on the waiting list. I've seen plenty of Propex's installed into tool boxes or pelican cases for RTT use.. you want something efficient power wise, most RV furnaces like dometic and suburban drain...

Chirp was not around when I programmed these, the old dos software for these sucked getting running even back then.. I set em up so its only got one channel on the RX and 2 channels on TX, one is high power and one is low power on same frequency (almost always run low power).. RX is tone...

Collinear Dipole Array would be the most effective and wont need radials, you could make it somewhat directional or omni directional depending on the location.. I've been thinking about a rigid system I can store flat on the trailer roof and deploy as needed w/a mast mount on the trailer.. I...

if you want to tow the jeep, I've seen rigs setup where someone took the frame off a popup camper, rotated it 90 degrees and bolted it to the front of a car hauler trailer.. I think there was a company that even made em for a little while but dont think it was big enough for a jeep.. Fleetwood...

I've been restocking 1# bottles at coleman outlet store on Fathers Day weekend, IIRC they are under $2 a bottle.. and people are buying em buy the caseload.. but I use em so little now days of the 4 I bought last summer 3 of em are still unused.. and my 20# tank lasted all season and still has...

I use a broom holder inside the door to hold em and am strict about them being put back, on low they are perfect for going off to drain fluids or lighting up tight spaces without being overwhelmed.. on high they are lil spotlights in a forest, the beam cuts deep into the foliage.. dunno how long...
