    Status of US Maltec Campers?

    That is very common with the Euro builders, not really sure if it is just that people travel before or after kids but when I went to the Alrad (huge, massive offroad show in Germany) I noticed everything was setup for 2 people

    Camp Tables - What are you using?

    I have this stainless Front Runner table. It ain't cheap but I have rebuilt parts in remote areas and wiped it clean, it is thin enough to carry UNDER a roof rack and should be something I give grandkids.

    ? - Finding a Solar Panel by Dimensions

    I hear ya.....the REC "twin" would be my choice if Victron wasn't giving me a deal on their bits (full disclosure) so I am willing to spend a more on the panel (paying retail).

    ? - Finding a Solar Panel by Dimensions

    I have found the residential panels the best size to price to power ratio at 65x39 I was going to use this panel as I have something like it on my Taco / Treehouse and it works great for under $200 https://www.solar-electric.com/rec-solar-rec315np-monocrystalline-panel.html But instead I am...

    ? - Voltage Regulation when Charging an LFP Battery

    SEMA build :) That is the simple answer, but yes for marketing, events, social media, videos and all that I will be putting the 150Ah battery and all the associated goodies behind a lexan panel where the world can enjoy the view. The Transit has these nifty inset areas behind the driver and...

    ? - Voltage Regulation when Charging an LFP Battery

    Best thing I have read and soooo true. I am normally all about function over form but for my SEMA Transit build I will admit the clean look of all Victron vs the Sterling design was an easy choice.

    Victron Energy: Alternator/Solar Charging - LFP Battery System

    I was on the side of the direct drop in style batteries like Battleborn since they fit in common trays/holders and have all the goodies built in. But after reading the experiences of people who have the BMS part go out or wanting to know how things work I am coming around to the Victron style...

    Victron SmartSolar data and panel output

    Dude thank you....the only thing making me hesitate is that I hate selling things and putting the 75/15 on a shelf till I give it away would be the reality. Keeping it for a folding panel controller or something like that makes sense. Ok I will order up the 100/30 and then I can do some testing...

    Victron SmartSolar data and panel output

    Yeah 150lbs of batteries right against the cab end of the bed. I have the Icon stage whatever with RTX or whatever they call their super suspension with bumpstops. Never had any trouble and I drive like a Baja racer on washboards. But it is still a bunch of weight. And that is why I am thinking...

    Victron Energy: Alternator/Solar Charging - LFP Battery System

    call up Northern Arizona Wind and Solar and see if they have any in stock...or someone somewhere might. However I heard that Victron drop ships alot of stuff so all those "in stock" website could be fibbing.

    Victron SmartSolar data and panel output

    Perfect example of the customer screwing themselves.... I ordered the Victron off Amazon after reading about it.... But I got the panel at Northern Arizona Wind & Solar and just told them "oh I have a controller, no worries". Instead if I had ask for advice or at least made sure my controller...

    Victron Energy: Alternator/Solar Charging - LFP Battery System

    So I am still thinking the Buck Boost as the DC DC between the factory alt/battery and the Victron Lith....Does that still seem like a good idea?

    ? - Voltage Regulation when Charging an LFP Battery

    OH OH OH that reminds me of something I have been meaning to learn about.... Like you I am going to start with a 360w panel (LG residential) but I would like to be able to park under a shady tree and put out a folder which would obviously be something smaller. My understanding is that if I just...

    Victron SmartSolar data and panel output

    Since there have been some great Victron threads lately I figured I should reach out to better minds than mine to see if I am getting all I can out of my 300w panel into my 2 group 31 AGM batteries. I got out of work early today and noticed that even though the sun was still shining the spot I...
