you can recharge a jumpstarter battery with the vehicle, just leave jumper cables hooked up while the engine is running.. electrons flow in both directions.

Leaving the 2018 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

no offense intended, but your marketing dept/person has some serious room for improvement.. your doing great on forums and facebook, but I bought my camper sight unseen and am not on facebook.. Getting pics that had not been photoshopped, and had scale references was neigh impossible.. I was...

yeah the Discover is now discontinued, 2017-2018 only but i dont think it was even made for a full year.. I'm not on FB but my wife told me something like they were too big/tall and cumbersome for a shop accustom to making smaller rigs.. probably took the room of 2-3 of the more popular ones...

My Tow Vehicle has built in hotspot on TMobile, $15/mo for unlimited, its only 3G but its good enough for the kids tablets.. then we switched to T-Mobile on our phones, they can now both hotspot unlimited 3G data too.. so between me and my wife and the tow vehicle we've got 3 hotspots, all...

The Luna's look much more impressive in person than any photo I've seen..

30 amp electrical means it comes with a fuse box that has a 30A main fuse, and a couple sub fuses for the outlets and aircon pre-wiring.. It will have a DC converter in it, probably 35A or something close to that. If your going to be running a generator or on mains power constantly for the...

yeah mine is a Discover, they discontinued it right after we bought ours.. they were hard to find so I bought mine sight unseen after crawling around and inspecting the quality on an explore that a local dealer had. The fridge sucks, it pulls 4A non stop and barely keeps food cold.. the crap...

My wife and I nearly bought a Forest River Wolf Pup, but instead found the InTech at the last moment.. build quality is night and day difference.. InTech is aluminum framed and has axle-less suspension.. I've been pretty amazed that after roaring down a washboard road with a tandem axle trailer...

Yeah tipouts are waterproof, moreso than a normal tent since your not sitting on the ground.. the non-window parts of the tip-outs are very thick and hardly even let any light through.. It'll come with instructions for breaking in the canvas, basically get it real wet with a garden hose and then...

have you tried putting some chokes on the antenna feed and the power feed for the CB radio?

I'm using a Comet CA-2X4SR w/Spring on my adventure trailer GMRS Repeater and APRS Radio, I plan on getting another one for my tow vehicle w/a Kenwood D710G modified to reach GMRS frequencies.. just trying to decide if I should drill a hole through the roof and get it done or wait a bit longer...

so if you buy an InTech be prepared to become an InTech Sales rep at every campsite.. After a summer with it I've gotten used to it, but its getting rather depressing explaining that the Discover I have is no longer being manufactured. On the roads I kept having drivers stalling out next to...

Got back sand dunes, made it home with 55% left in the tank.. only ran the generator for about 20mins in total to make some mac and cheese in microwave and coffee each morning.. If I'd of had solar on this I coulda done that off battery, the sun was abundant. In less than hour of being plugged...

I'm sure I'll find room somewhere in the dozen other milk crates, I kinda have a collection of em by now :)

I'll be going with a Victron SmartSolar 100V/50A MPPT controller and a Panasonic HIT 350W Solar Panel which runs at about 60v, at least thats the plan.. its bigger than what I need, but Ive been bitten before by wanting more solar yet doing so would exceed the capacity of the controller, better...

@john61ct I hadent thought about that case, but yeah I think it can.. and I suppose minimum latch time can go high enough it would not re-engage charger for a good while after it had reached charge voltage.. but it could still sit there and cycle between charging as it goes from resting voltage...

yeah thats what my instincts were telling me, and the reason for the master disconnect.. also from what I've read its best to store Lithium batteries at partial charge instead of fully charged.. The only times it'll be plugged in continuously is at home, and I'll discharge the Lithium to ~50%...

The battery that came in my new adventure toy hauler (InTech) was crap, was a interstate 60aH RV battery the dealer slapped in, literally the cheapest thing you can get.. In our first few boondocking weekends it hardly lasted a day before I had to fire up the generator (Honda 2200i) for hours to...
