Kind of like the million b2b questions but I figure with the solar generator craze going on right now (see: Amazon), with most/all having car charge adapters, that there might be some news on how to most easily accomplish what I'm trying to do. The primary thing I run with my setup is my...

looking at your post on the previous page, it seems you're using the dryer duct for hot air outlet? I'd love something better than the black hose that comes with the units but I see you kept yours around... are you using that bit first and then attaching the dryer duct to that? Seems like I've...

How do you prime the pump with this controller? I'll give that a whirl if I can figure out how to do it. The cryptic other chinese remote just does it automatically (probably has a manual mode too but never figured that out) er nm, ok btn + down to prime. had to set controller to 12v to...

Yeah, watched some of their videos on youtube for this error - seems like multiple things could cause... I wouldn't assume it's an error of assembly though since I've used the heater with the crappy non-LCD controller for almost a year. I also had just been running it for an hour before...

Anyone else getting E-04 code on their LCD controller? I just received my controller in the mail and it won’t do anything as a result of that code. The normal cryptic chinese remote works fine, ran heater for several hours last night on kerosene full blast to clean things up.

I have a pic somewhere of mine exhausting at like 430+ degrees. I bought some vents similar to these that pop in to a 1-inch hole - intend to drill a couple holes up towards the top of my box. Doing this and allowing the intake to pull air from inside the box (and the hole I drilled for...

Cool this thread is still going. Yeah it does get warm in the box as the entire unit gets warm. I could also do some better sealing of the hot air out side to the flange i put on the box. In hindsight, if installing a unit like this in a tool box, don't mount it centered in the box. Push the...

I like the plan :cool:

Dunno how relevant, but I took kooler-gel and mixed it up in bottles and then dumped in to vacuum sealer bags. It was a pain to seal - would be easier to do with two people. Made four 12 (or whatever the width of the roll is) x 14-16" bags. They've held up to getting smashed by cans and sharp...

I'd guess a renogy eclipse 100w

I'd definitely relocate it. I can get a solid 30 feet from the back of my truck, probably a bit more if I give it a few seconds (hangs at connecting-20%). Mounted inside camper shell, velcroed to the ceiling nearest the tailgate

I've been considering a mini bike for similar purposes or if for nothing else, scooting around isolated camp sites in the mountains. Balloon tires appealed but the bulk of these wide things was deterring. Built a 66/80cc mountain bike (not my pic, I used a Kent KZR) for $100 new and added a...

Look up ebike DIY batteries on youtube. They usually go from 36v -> 72v but you can get the idea. I think it's maker kits or some term like that which makes snap on terminal ends so you can easily build yourself batteries without soldering, spot welding, etc.

Maybe? Just look on ebay and exclude the high dollar name brand stuff. The cryptic keypad I set this thing up for more testing in my living room, venting up the chimney. It seems to be drafting (the exhaust is hot as hell so I'd hope so), and in doing this fiddled with the thermostat. I...

There's a 1/4" fuel line that I drilled a hole for in the top corner of the tool box. The hole I drilled is almost the same size as the tubing so it isn't prone to sliding back in to the tool box unless I want it to. I'd like some sort of quick connect method though.

The kit included a separate intake pipe and a sturdier exhaust pipe. I plug these pipes in to the front of the tool box where the metal plate is. If I run this thing outside the camper I'll just connect the exhaust and let the intake draw from the unused hole in the tool box. And yes this...

Makes me feel better about not venting sealed batteries in my shell :sombrero: Since I can see daylight through the bed and I don't have tailgate seals I figured it'd be okay. And I don't sleep back there, definitely wouldn't mid morning when the panels were starting to ramp up..

Also having this issue now with Whynter 62DZ... rode around in the back of my truck unplugged for a week and it got in to the single digits. Fan cuts on, does its little pause and compressor kicks on, never gets cool. Huge bummer since I just ordered a slide for it. Same result on 12v or...

I've only been testing this in my garage (combustion intake and exhaust creatively routed out a window) so I've been using a 12v bench power supply. It will normally be powered from my pop up camper's battery. The highest I tend to camp is at about 8,000 feet so I'll have to follow up soon...
