yes ! it all started with mountain bikes and then i stumbled onto the mini bike videos and it was all down hill from there.

i went with a pair of Coleman C200UEX bikes. $1,000 for both. im 240lbs and they move me around easily at 20-25mph so thats fine for what well be doing. my wife weights about 130lbs so i figure she can carry 100lbs on here bike if need be. we plan to do some overnight camping in the...

are you talking about reverse polarity breakers in the load center? or is this going to be something additional that i need to get?

ill be bringing enough tools to cut or dig my way out off most issues along with a few boards. . i do have a rear receiver hitch so i will look into an electric receiver winch for it.

Are these cable suitable to use in a recovery bag for a 2013 two wheel drive Sprinter van? the pair of cables are 3/16'' and the single cable is 3/8''. i plan to use a 5 ton come along with the cables. worst case i can see myself stuck on a dirt road somewhere needing to be pulled a few...

i appreciate EVERYBODYS help. i view these types of situations as cumulative learning where every piece of information whether relevant, factual or not contributes to the end result. forums are great in the sense that every comment leads to a reply and it branches out from there all the while...

got it. thanks for your help!

what do you mean by ''use no switches or breakers in the neutral''

yes that is the load center i am using. ok, so lets see if i got this right.... 10/2 30amp coming into the load center from an inlet underneath the van . connect the nuetral and hot and then the ground to the ground bus on the left? from there 10ga wire from the load center to the...

OK, change of plans. ive decided to install the load center after all. you guys brough up some good points that i wasnt really aware off. i always figured the Electrical posts at the RV parks were good to go. i assumed they were inspected etc. ive never been to one before so im not taking any...

i plan to only plug into appropriately fused outlet posts at rv parks if thats what your asking. i will not be plugging into any generators or extension cords from homes or anything. at some point im going to install a fuse panel inside the van. i feel like that is the safest way forward. i...

this is for anybody reading this who is about to get the Victron Color Control. the monitor doesn't come with any of the wires you need to set everything up. i guess they do this to cut down cost. the average person wont need all of the wires its capable of using so they just give you the...

my thoughts exactly. i got the LCD with display. cost more but seems a whole lot more convenient and flexible. as far as the inverter/charger, when i originally called Magnum i inquired about the 1,000 watt model and the tech told me it wouldn't work with my Starkpower Lifepo4 batteries and...

i looked at the magnum when you emailed me the link. i spoke with them on the phone and the tech said that i needed the 3000 watt model inverter/charger to match the charging profile of my lifpo4 batteries. that was to much inverter for me. this 2,000 is to much. i only needed 1,000 watts but...

Sprinter van, 2wd multi use cargo van/ camping van...electrical, toilet, bed, portable propane shower, that sort of thing. no built in cabinets or anything. i have a feeling that after this road trip ill be going back to my 4x4 truck roots.

were trying to get out there (Arizona area and beyound) before the summer heats up. Hopefully we will be leaving in another month but im not to sure on that. im getting hung up building the van.

ive been using Sawyer products my entire life and so far so good. the majority of camping weve done is out here on the east coast. filling gravity bags an such has never been an issue, theres clear mountain water everywhere with very little sediment. i figure out west thats not going to be the...

do i need one of these fancy lcd displays to operate my inverter/charger or are they plug and play? i have the victron multiplus 2000 with a BV700 battery monitor. im trying to keep things as simple as possible but this thing has a lot of options but little to no buttons lol. thank you...

we were camping out at Hickory Run State Park in PA one weekend and had an encounter. Cant say for sure what it was but this park has a history of black bear problems. I remember the night cause we couldn't sleep due to the cold and rain. our tent leaked so there was a puddle of water down by...

i called StarkPower, that's who i bought the inverter from along with the batteries. they in turn confirmed with Victron that i could in fact hard wire the inverter directly to my 10/2 line off of the 30amp inlet. This is great news, saves me time and money and makes my electrical set-up much...
