Rig was build in 2001 and has original fixed Siemens 45 watt panel on top. Not much room but I can get 14" x 8' up there. I can probably do better with newer technology. While on trips I will be leaving rig during day so leaving portable Solar on ground or easiyily seen on roof will be problem...

Thanks all, I have pulled back and am trying to figure out average usage for an outing, 3-4 day off-grid while fishing, mostly under forested canopy, and away from rig from early morning to late afternoon/early evening or dark. Sometimes back for quick lunch. Rarely spend two days same spot, at...

About time I got something "right" :) On top of my frustration is lack of vocabulary and electrical ignorance......but I am slowly starting to know enough to know what I don't know.....before I didn't even know what I didn't know.... I am in no rush but hope to get figured out by first of...

My head hurts...LOL.... seriously, I need to really re-read this stuff....thanks for patience.

Be my guest.....you guys looked real busy so maybe next time.

Altenator does charge house batteries but I think my issue were bad house batteries plus using Deep Cycle they were not filling up 100% or even close. So in a nutshell, my inverter and converter seeem fine, I just need to get converter off battery to avoid drain loop,and biggest thing now isto...

Excellent description... So if I want to squeeze as much power back into battery as possible, the GC would be best followed by AGM?

dwh, again thank you for taking the time to explain this in detail and piece by piece, it has taken me several reads to start getting a handle, but I need to re-read a few more times to put all together. It seems my initial plan of upgrading components for the sake of it may not be necessary...

Welcome back Paul, it was great meeting you and your wife, you were both super nice. I don't know about you, but I enjoyed the rain, more rain, the mud, the deep mud then the cold, then the freezin' cold. I love the ShopRoll with complete set of DeWalt tools, although not inexpensive it was a...

So I was really confused on difference between Magnatek and Freedom 458. So one is converter and one is inverter/charger. I can keep Magnatek but upgrade the Xanatrex Freedom to get more inverter watts? Would it makes sense to upgrade to a Redarc Dual Battery Charger? They have 40 Amp model and...

Question for group, if I go from a deep cell battery to a AGM or 6V GC will I need to change my wires and/or charging system? If I take out my battery slide I think I have room for GC2 batteries. Right now I have a Magnetex 7300 electronic converter/charger, Speciality Concepts Mark 15 Solar...

Title didn't say it needed to be a long gun......here's a 1954 Colt Woodsman with original, box, target, pamphlet and tool...complete set....oooooh and by the way, it's a tack driver:)

Anyone have experience with Kovea http://kovea.com/product/deluxe-twin-white-black/ or the single burner http://kovea.com/product/portable-propane/ At Overland Expo rep said they have great simmering capability. Not inexpensive but not too bad either, if simmering is as good as they say might...

Dude, you got an AEV and failed to mention that....yikes. Dealer took photos down, it would be great if you can post pic! Congrats on awesome rig.

Great to hear you are comingI look forward to seeing your Jeep. I will be camping in the Overland Experience area, lot WC, with my Chinook Concourse. Email sent.

Oops, I did think of that but passed, no real reason, probably shouldn't have. Anyway two 24's are in so at least I'll have some power and can put focus on upgrading batteries, solar, inverter, charge controller etc. Solar and components were new in 2001 so I think I can get more bang for buck...

OK, put patch on, went to Walmart, they were out of group 27 deep cycle so bought two group 24 deep cycle for marine & RV, all-n $157.00. Hopefully this will keep me powered during Expo East and give me time to thoroughly explore options and get best battery bank for my needs and future...

Thanks Wirketdrone, I was getting that impression from reading info but wasn’t sure. I have two group 27 now and want to get cheapest workable batteries to get going and then take time and see if I can get the GC batteries to work or decide on AGN or keep deep cycle For RV any reason I...

I am in Richmond VA. I just read the link you sent earlier (https://marinehowto.com/what-is-a-deep-cycle-battery/), fascinating stuff, well written, layed out and super informative. I need to go back and reread some key areas. Due to tight area my group 27's are in, I do not think I can fit...

Thanks, a lot of good info. Looks like I'll be spending a lot of time researching right solutions.
