Updated my diagram...so hard not to cross lines but I got it! I suppose I should show the feeds into the DC/DC and Shore charger but.........I like it.

The Renogy Rover I have is rated for 20A on the load terminals.

It’s a $34 experiment since I’m bored and looking for things to play with haha. Plus I have been tossing the idea around of setting up a small on demand water heater on the driver side of the rig where my shower tent is. Then I thought why not try this before going big and drilling the rig. I...

Well a successful round trip this past weekend down to Indiana and back. DC/DC converter seemed to work well, although the fridge didnt have to run much with the temps in the 30s during the drive down and back. Solar charged up everything I used overnight both nights. In 2 weeks or so I will...

Such a sick rig you have there!! I battle the same thing. Only way I have found so far is by keeping a window open and my exhaust fan running which results in near outside temps inside. Fine inside the sleeping bag but as soon as I step out I'm frozen. My thread on the same issue for some...

My sleeping setup is a cot made of ripstop nylon and a closed cell 1/2” mat on top of that. Then I have my sleeping bag which holds a 3” backpacking air pad that is not insulated. I sleep on the air pad inside the sleeping bag. The heated blanket went on top of the closed cell foam below my...

Apparently I wouldn’t have to build one..... Diesel Air Heater 5KW 12V All in One Fuel Car Parking Heater With Remoter Controller with LCD Knob Switch For Car Truck Boat Trailer Motor-Home https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y3693VJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5WG0Db2A7R5WP

Hahahahaha yes!! That’s amazing and probably would work well! My buddy works for McMaster so I can get a heavy duty one that can double as a gas mask for the apocalypse! I should look into building a mobile diesel heater box...hmmmm

I don't have 120v and don't want to run an inverter. I have not been able to find a 12v version. The ones that require no power take weeks to dehumidify, its not going to keep up.

I have the heated blanket and it’s actually too warm. Being warm while I sleep isn’t my issue, I bet I could go down to 0* F inside the cabin before I would start getting cold in my sleeping bag. My issue is being warm while I sit around or read outside of the sleeping bag. It’s not huge but I...

I have just about everything worked out in my rig except for condensation on nights below freezing. I have tried candles, fans, prayer, and a combination of those items. I do not have a heater built in and I don’t have the ability to install one at this point in my 1.0 rig. 2.0 will be...

Thank you! Also, those pics were taken at different times so the voltages show a bit different. I just went in there and checked and everything is showing identical readings.

Alright, it took 5 hours of swearing and hand cramps but I got it all installed and tucked away. Like I said, I was LOW on install surface realestate but I think I made the best use of what I have with minimal wire mess. I need to update my Visio diagram but everything works. I tweaked the...

Interesting topic, don't have much to add but sub'd for learning! Here in the midwest 20F is rather warm in the winter, especially for morning work commutes.

Yep these little boxes are really cool, I used one to make my swamp cooler.

I would use rigid plastic or hard rubber for the spacer under the bracket between the bed rail, foam may compress and cause stress on those inside rails. Any way to also attach at that bottom bolt hole below your hand in the second pic? Congrats on the new rig!

understood, good tip. lastly, am I paying attention to my ring stacking on the load side of the shunt like I am on the + of the battery terminal? Same order?

Ok cool so the ring terminal of the black cable will go to Negative on the battery, but...directly to the battery or on the load side of the BMV shunt?

Here is what I'm working with. Can I wire my charge sources to the battery directly instead of the BP? Is that cable for #3 in the instructions?

So I have my Victron SBP and it came with a curveball "Program" cable. Do I need this if I am going to access it via Bluetooth? Is it as simple as installing between the battery + and the fuse box + with an inline fuse on the battery side? And which programming option should I pick? 10.5/21v?
