Maybe this could work for the USB wired to an MPPT or BMS? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15801 Mentions needing an I2c to configure, but maybe there is another reason to have a small microprocessor onboard. If nothing else, it hints to what it’s using: standalone controller from...

Interested! PM sent

I’ve ordered from powerWerx for over a decade. Solid supplier. I think you can even give them a call to discuss needs, but i have never needed to.

The referenced article says: “With a raw light output of 18,178 lumens, a dimmer is crucial and is included in the Solis lighting kit. The electrical current draw of the lights is measured at 12.4a @ 13.2v. “ So my guess is that they are intended to be used with the dimmer. I don’t see why you...

Glad I could help! Now just figure what plug they use and make a charge cable for your Anderson connector, so you don’t have to open the box! I too have ordered one... hasn’t arrived yet.

Hey, thanks. It’s just food grade cutting board material that I got from a friend who made a batch of them, years ago. I just drilled some small holes to accept the snow peak hooks. I actually did a few sets so I can position as it’s shows, to the center, or to the right. The legs are the...

Sounds like you might be using a smaller gauge than is recommended with the 15A crimps. Strip a about 50 or 75 percent more than the depth of the crimp connection and fold the wire over,and then insert. This will give you a bit more mechanical bite for the crimp. I crimp once, then flip and...

It definitely looks interesting. Amazon shows both the supercap2 and a lite version. I’m going to do a bit more research, but I might retire my lithium jump pack for this, as my pack is aging and the jump feature is hit or miss. I usually have someone else around, or if not, have my trailer...

The inter webs just spit this up: Autowit SuperCap 2 - allows for slow draw from LifePo and storage in the capacitor for cranking power. Maybe a bit better than a jump pack to keep charged. Not tried it myself, but curious that the YouTube pushed to me after I posted up here. Eek.

I’d go with option 1. Momentary amperage on a starter could go much higher than 125 and probably 200, risking blowing the protection you have built in. I don’t run fuses between my dual batteries for this purpose (and winching). I just have the battery separator (ML-ACR) to break the circuit...

No, mean that the lift gate goes up enough to clear the fridge to open. I can only open my fridge lid about 60 percent, but that’s because my 270 awning requires my tailgate door to sit a little lower than full open. I can still walk under the door though... Good luck with the project. Post up...

I have added a bit more work area since my original post: Built a mount for the snow peak table which holds it next to the combo slide and secures it. Still allows the slide to open.

I don’t have any issues getting into the fridge, as I am 6-3”, but my wife complains about it. She has to get up on her knees on the tailgate to look into the fridge. If it’s a real problem, I just pull the lid off of my fridge. I have the 37qt, but if it was bigger it might be a challenge. I...

I just treat mine like carbon steel as others have mentioned. Just get some lodge seasoning spray, heat up the grill and season it a couple of rounds. Plenty of vids on YouTube on how to do it. I had a SP cook set and the frying pan got a couple of small rust spots somehow. I wire brushed it...

Probably more than a rumor this time. One of the lead LC dealers in the country confirmed a first-hand message to this effect . Not really surprised given the LC variant sales numbers. I’m actually excited about the turbo6, just said it will come with all the LX farkle. I prefer the LC trim...

Well, this ones for you Martin: Chaser Serial #1 still going strong. Authenticated by Mario a few years ago, pictured here on our quarantine trip to cape cod a few weeks back. The Autohome Overland tent is hanging in the garage, supplanted by on Oztent and bikes, for now. Tilt of the hat to...

Nice thread. I saw some looking for a usb-c panel through adapter for the bricks above. Stumbled on this : https://www.adafruit.com/product/4261?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2uv80bCR6wIV5QiICR3vwwxeEAQYASABEgL-AfD_BwE Edit: saw the references above to adafruit after I posted, but the link now for others.

Do you mean via AC on the inverter, or via DC? Anderson plug, etc? If by DC, it’s just a battery, but you’d have to understand the BMS a bit to make sure the battery was charge protected (with low temp cutoff too) Plenty of sprinter folks running yeti lithium’s in the vans rather than...

If you were to run the Honda, plan on going AC from it to an onboard charger like you do In The driveway (or victron makes a nice, smart one in various flavors). This way you can utilize the whole 2000watts or something less in eco mode. The dc charger on the Honda is for small batteries.

There are conversion kits to run the 2000 off of propane (and gas) Just plan to use slightly more volume of propane than gas as it has lower energy content. (Ie running out propane sux if that’s how you heat or cook) Agree with the comment about also running from the alternator and I would use...
