    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    Yes it should.......you can check the number of synchronizations. Our bank will be on solar from May to Oct with no synchronizations. There aren't enough hours in the day for solar to be in float long enough.

    Thought of one more .....was the BMV712 sychronized once the batteries were charged?

    Ski Bum Truck V2.0, F450 Rough Road RV

    What is the date code on the batteries? By chance did you check the voltage on each 6V before installation?

    What portable solar panels are safe to wire in series when shaded?

    A H2000 generator is 50lbs. A 330w panel is 42lb. A 14yo can carry either one.

    What portable solar panels are safe to wire in series when shaded?

    Max system voltage is the highest voltage a manufacturer rates the panels for. Are you using a PWM or MPPT controller? MPPT will accept a higher voltage. Once there is shading the output of parellel exceeds series.

    Best *mid priced* Kinetic Recovery Rope?

    From my experience the same stretch can be achieved with a larger/longer rope. Difference in stretch of a rope 90% MBS and another at 50% MBS might be 1' but adding 10' to a rope at 50% MBS would add 1 1/2' of stretch.

    What portable solar panels are safe to wire in series when shaded?

    Does the panel manufacture provide a maximum system voltage? My $0.0002 from the site we visit is the convenience of smaller wire will be traded off moving series run panels out of the shade. My "portable panel" are 5.7A@70V in parellet with 8ga (50' sections). The 8ga was used to minimize...

    Wall construction and insulation

    My thought for the 2 1/2" was to prevent the thermal break from being compressed. Great stuff won't bond to aluminum so air/moisture will leak into the wall. Depending on temperature there will be condensation between the 2 layer of foam. A vapor barrier is the best way to prevent moisture...

    Need help deciding, Why a Tacoma over a full size truck?

    We have a F350 and a Subaru Outback and drive logging roads when going off the pavement. The Subaru will go down roads that are over grown but sill used by ATVs. Going off the pavement by myself I like the Subaru, lighter more maneuverable and can turn it around anywhere. Going with the...

    Best *mid priced* Kinetic Recovery Rope?

    1" will allow a larger vehicle to pull you out but 20 will only be 5-6' of strech at full load less with the Tacoma. This is what I did in a past life but with larger trees and 100' more rope. If they put allot more wraps around the logs they come off the beach fist try.

    Best *mid priced* Kinetic Recovery Rope?

    The rope needs to be long enough so the vehicle doing the pulling can create enough momentum which is hard to do with 20'. I like 40' (30% stretch =12ft) for my F350 which I can shorten with a bowline or extend with or multiple wraps of the 1/2" polyester I carry...
