His external solar plug ties into his REDARCS and so charge the house battery. Portable solar panels can plug directly into the "solar generator" because it has it's own built-in solar controller.
@Tramper Other than redundancy or capacity, there isn't really any reason to wire external solar...
Price drop to $23,500. Still included Ride Rite airbags, 6gauge 12v from battery to front of pickup bed, two sets of wheels and tires, Scan Gauge, Trifold bedcover, Bed Rug, Weathertec floormats, etc.
Watts are watts, so the consumption watts of the skylink itself would be the same between 120v and 12v minus any internal skylink conversion efficiencies (I don't know it's native voltage, but by the comments, I'll assume it's 12v). So it's really just the efficiency losses of the inverter...
I forgot to mention 'C' rate. That is the max charge rate recommended for a lithium battery by the manufacturer. Usually max 'C' rate is 1, but they recommend 0.5 or less to maximize battery longevity. 'C' rate represents a percentage of the battery's amp capacity so a C rate of 1 means...
To level set, since there are likely a wide variety of electrical familiarity reading these posts...
Watts is a unit of power (volts times amps).
Amps are a measurement of current (watts divided by volts)
Volts is a unit of electromagnetic force (watts divided by amps)
A 1,800watt electric...
I posted this in the Tremor Forum, but think the cable size results are worth cross-posting here.
I was curious on cable size requirements for those considering upsizing DC/DC chargers. I used the Blue Sea circuit wizard that a forum member suggested (there are many, but this one is nice and...
Supertramp hasn't yet published, and possibly not yet decided on, the brand/capacity of the optional, larger DC charger. But @SimplyAnAdventure just mentioned, in the Tremor Forum thread, that Victron announced a very slick new DC charger: Orion XS 12/12-50A. I looked into it and here is how it...
I was going to post about the Storyteller being 58v and using a secondary High Output Auxiliary Alternator (as they call it), but then saw they changed from the Volta system to Lithionics and I have no understanding of the new Lithionics system, so I held off. But now that it was all mentioned...
Great looking rig! Hope you don't mind that I put a link to your ad in the main Supertramp Camper Flagship LT thread here on Exp. Portal:

I chatted with the owner (Tony) a bit ago and it has already sold! Was neat seeing it.
Adding all the photos just because it's interesting. I noted that it looks like two versions of soft top prototype winders were installed at various times. Likely the first were the three windows in the soft...
For those on the lookout for a used Supertramp Flagship LT, one of the members of the FB group, and Expedition Portal, has posted a pickup, camper and accessory set up, for sale, here on the forum...
The latest announcements from FWC are sooooo long overdue, but they must have seen the writing on the wall if they didn't advance along with the competition and at least offer some of these things as options. Can't rest on name recognition forever. Will note that FWC had underbed storage option...
Supertramp is working on a program to do custom paint colors. There will be a cost associated with a custom color compared to the base cost of one of the preselected base color options; Battleship Gray, Sand Dune Tan and Forest Green. White is the no-cost option.
They don't plan to do metallic...
@SimplyAnAdventure can give you good mpg stats. He picked up his camper already and went the long way home. His pickup is a Tremor on 37s. I pick up my camper in March. [Edit: He's a quick one today! Ha.]
For us, I expect our load mpg to be about the same as the Tundra was with camper. 10 to...
