thank you everyone. i understand the reason now! i will make sure it s done properly!

i have a identical set up and my question is.... can the negative wire of the inverter be connected to the 3rd battery negative post instead of the negative post of the first battery in this diagram? My simple reason for this is i m very tight on cable length for the inverter and want to keep it...

i have no gotten the 12v yet... i only currently have the 2X6v. i m in canada so those battery are not expensive like they can be anywhere else! But i do realise they are great battery! Anyway, i always though in paralelle, it wasnt a much of a issue to mix difference capacity battery as long...

same charge spec, usage is van conversion so, fridge, tv, computer charging, lights, diesel heater, and a 1500w pure sine wave invertor with biggest load been 1000w espresso machine. and following this conversation, i sent the question directly to Rolls battery to see what they think of...

thank you for the details: So last month, i got 2x Rolls 6v FLA 235ah and now, i only have space to add 1 battery. i could get a group 27 Rolls 12v 105Ah of the same line of battery as the 6v. within 1 month of each other in age and same suppose cell characteristic.... is this close enough...

why do battery have to be discharged separately? For exemple. i have 2 new FLA 6v in series and i want to add a 12v FLA 1-5ah in paralle to those 2x 6v. any issue with this as a battery bank?

in the same boat..... right now, you can get those units for 10% off with coupon code ''welcome10'' and free shipping if you have a USA adress. so i m getting mine ship to oroville about 45min from where i live and i will go pick it up. that mean 113$ for the 20A or 180$ for the 40A...

excellent. i m also in canada, okanagan valley and from may to september...we get full solar power for 6-8h daily so i can get 60-80ah daily out of my 200w panel. never need that much as it goes into float mode usually. But as i camp in shade or in late fall, it would be nice to have one of...

trying to understand if anyone as the knowlege. if i have this 20A dcdc charging the battery, will my solar controller that is independantly attach the the same battery will also be charging at the same time? so 20A from dcdc plus 10A from my solar for a 30A when the truck is running?

yes...you purchase my old spacekap 8 FT in penticton (from one of my friend). no window on that one. my recent 6.5 long one as windows!

to try to heat up and uninsulated spacekap is a lost battle. you will have the heater running most of the time, noise, power drain, and cold walls. it s a matter of efficiency. Insulating isn't complicated and even a small layer will make a world of difference. My heater will run only half of...

i have a 2012 4wd F150 ecoboost and currently have a 2.5 spacer leveling kit, 33 duratrac E tires and some firestone airbag at the back. The truck as a fiberglass canopy that weight around 600lbs (800-900lbs loaded) permanently mounted to the truck. it s my camping expedition rig! my turck at...

fun to see my old spacekap becoming a camper! i had the same goal as you but my truck been a 5.5 bed... it didnt fit right. i got a amazing deal of a 6.5 spacekap so sold this spacekap to my friend...that sold it to you! here s your spacekap on my small truck! and my smaller version 6.5

for those asking, fiberglass as about no insulation value. it s not as bad as aluminum but a spacekap in hot sun summer is a terrbile oven. in the cold, it s like sleeping outside but protected from the win. If you use a heater inside, the wall get wet very quickly. So insulation is needed if...

if you send me your email, i have a engineering dimensional plan of the diablo so you would have all the dimension imaginable. Spacekap online service people sent it to me and it was helpfull in planning my build. While the diablo is one generation newer then mine...dimension have not really...

Bigfoot is still located in amrstrong. They also have a sister company attach to there factory that make some very pricy but amazing composite panels using honeycombss structure etc. It s amazing to see how many camper company we have in the okanagan and so many composite panel company, and...

perhaps my english isnt proper but living in penticton bc for me mean living next to both kelowna and amstrong factory. both have been usefull place in sourcing part of my own builds.

Finally got the ''finish'' the spacekap to be usable as a mobile office and ready to camp with the kids. I definitly finish this one on a budget keeping it very simple with folding single bed and doubles up as a queen and a small bed for 2 kids at the top. 2 windows, and a dometic cooler and...

i have a shell that i m finishing very basically....and i have to say insulation would be great as it s 85-90 outside and it s very hot inside. I will find a way to insulate it at same point but most of my camping will be in the mountain of bc or coast so i should not have to deal with much...

tony, i had a question i posted in your build thread if you ever have time. for the other poster, i seen some people using spray foam for insulation. The factory insulation is some kind of foam and finishing panel but not a true sandwich panel. I only saw the medical unit with this option
