I doubt the beer will last indefinitely though. Even with 2nd Battery, solar seemed like a necessity to me.

Less junk to fail, seems like the Achilles heal of the setup. Maybe a cheap meter would suffice to check it once in a while if you are curious. If you want one, it seems like Martyn was saying you can probably get it from Extreme Outback. The electronics in the meter are probably very basic...

I am very happy with my Masterpull lines, thank you!! the Masterpull user is not appear active anymore, but they honor the discount if you call them. They went above and beyond with advice and provided me with precisely what I wanted.

Based on the specs, if you used the inverter at capacity, 1500watts, you'd be flat in about 15 minutes. Recharge would then take 16-24 sun hours, which amounts to 3-4 days maybe depending on conditions at 10amps max, although it will never achieve it with an 80w solar panel, the best you could...

Nothing dumb about asking questions, that's why we're all here. In order to run your fridge, if it's like either of mine, figure it will need to run 21 hours out of 24. At least in 80-90 degree heat. I recently ran two fridges, in the shade with the insulation shells on them. Combined they used...

I wonder if your battery is dying. Remove it and have it tested overnight at a place with a fancy dancy battery testing machine. AGM's 12.8 is 100% charged, though often you get more. How old is the battery? While I'm not running IBS, I found that when my Optima was going bad, my charging...

Thanks, nice work. It might be nice to put the URLS in text, as you can't copy and paste them.

Seen the SA online, the problem is the crappy pictures and lack of reviews. We do have a US distributor here. They do not list it, but might be able to supply it.

Let's start with the size of your inverter, and how long you want to run it for.

Posting while driving Brick? lol..

Yes, that's the size I am running, the standard "oversize" most folks are running. I'm actually thinking of going closer to stock size.. Here's the web site.. http://www.nittotire.com/Tire/Grappler%20truck/terragrappler#size If you want oversize, this is the exact tire you want because it...

Congratulations!! you'll find the Nitto Terra Grappler to be a decent all around tire with some positive features. Their not too noisy, they hold up reasonably well, they do good on the trails, and are 10ply+ so city driving hitting the occasional curb, nail, screw or rock in the road won't...

If you need an LED Adapter for your truck, I highly recommend Lee at Lab Electronics in Australia. You'll find him friendly, helpful and cheerful. Shipping only took a few days and arrives via USPS. http://www.labtronx.com.au/pulsebusta-mk3.htm

That looks like a cheap knock off of the bushranger x-jack. As far as I know they haven't come out with one that looks like that. It is important to note, that while you can use a compressor for inflation to use the exhaust, if you have a dual exhaust you will need a bung.. to plug one of the...

You'll find all things trailer wiring here, courtesy of Bbyer in Canada. A multimeter would be handy to do some testing. You'll find specs, wiring, all kinds of other useful and detailed information. You can download the docs/pdfs as well. http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=4497

Yes, I agree, it would be worth running some loads to run the battery down a little, then hooking it up and seeing if it behaves differently good catch. That ultimately doesn't solve the running out of power after a few days. It is possible this was the original ssue, or something else is going...

I wish you were closer, I've got all the tools, it adds up. I suggest powerwerx.com for the tools and bits. Before you purchase, maybe we need to do some specifications. I have the Prostar 30 It's very nice, meant to be mounted inside really. Drop me a PM after you look around, perhaps I can...

Do you have an Anderson connector tool. I think you can crimp on a connector, and use the crimped sleeve instead of bare wire, or you could tin the wire ends with solder. I can make one up and take a picture if it helps. If the panel is old, or damaged, partially shaded it is possible to not...

Well, it just had a lot of mismatched bits, connectors, wrong sized bits, and I was spoiled by a simpler setup. I'm sure it's fine and not trying to beat up on it, or anyone who uses one, it's just not for me. Granted, it was a couple of years old, new in the box, and improvements may have been...

A hand held unit is not going to have HF most likely, and will not have the range. It is easily possible to extend the range with an external antenna and have extensive monitoring capability, but I would probably suggest something along the line of an FT857D You can leave the antenna stowed when...
