    Advice Wanted! Dual Battery/Solar Set Up

    I would have a couple of independent 12v adapters in front and back of your rig that could be switched on (without your key).

    Most popular stove's used in Overlanding

    Partner steel and jet boil. It doesn't matter what the weather, altitude or time of day. As long as I can get propane (mix) these will work. We do camp quite a bit so they need to eat reliable.

    How much water is enough?

    We have 32 gallons of drinking water, 4 gallons in our shower system and 7 gallons for cleaning. We spend up to 9 days in Utah without a refill. We hike, backpack or just camp. We don't drink anything extra like whiskey, beer or soda. :)

    Zamp versus Renogy

    As I had thought. I think some people are saying "oh I need a portable solar panel" and go out and buy whichever they find .he specs certainly don't justify the extra costs.

    My trailer power system

    Same with me. They are just so easy to use. The only issue I had was with Goal Zero lights. The wiring is wrapped outside of each other.
