    Weather proof Bulkhead connector for solar panels?

    Clean it up or replace the terminals if it’s really bad.

    Damn, that's unfortunate. My trailer is about to become my home for the season.

    Weather proof Bulkhead connector for solar panels?

    The SB50 itself doesn’t need to be waterproof while in use. Check it for corrosion on occasion. A.

    Weather proof Bulkhead connector for solar panels?

    I’m working on a setup using the side-exit Blue Sea clam on a vertical surface of my trailer. The cable will exit toward the bottom with a 6” pigtail and a booted SB50 connector. Then a nice clip to keep it from bouncing around when not in use.

    Weather proof Bulkhead connector for solar panels?

    One approach is to use a pigtail and a marine clam. Then the connector and the waterproof bulkhead can be separate things.

    Zero clearance. I’m concerned about the beating sun on the black box, as well as the small amount of gasses from the batteries. A.

    Any ideas on a vent that doesn’t let in road spray? :)

    I don’t usually carry the spare tire, since my truck has the exact same tire/wheel setup. Do you think locker vents will let road spray in if I install in the doors?

    Anyone thought about ventilation for the tongue box and fridge therein?

    That has been my experience, as I mentioned further up. So I now have 200W of permanent solar panels on the roof, plus another 200W of deployable panels in case I need them. If that fails, I will be bulk charging via booster cables from my vehicle to the battery bank directly. The trickle from...

    Capable yes, but without a dedicated large-gauge wire to the tow-vehicle you will not get much power from it.

    You can't really charge a house bank from a tow vehicle using standard wiring. The angry pixies can't get from A to B. But you can generally maintain the trailer fridge while driving without depleting the trailer bank. A.

    Yeah, I realized that post-install. So now I need a third panel to cover up my error. [emoji849] I actually put them rearward thinking that they would be better protected from branches.

    I have 200W (2x100W Renogy) of rigid panels on mine, with room for a third. Love it: I think it makes the roof a touch heavy, so I may decide to upgrade the struts. A.

    ARB fridge 12v problem

    Pretty strange. ARB has always been great for me, sending replacement parts for out-of-warranty units. I'd just try again. It's repairable for sure!

    I slept with the top down for around two weeks, it saved a lot of propane trying to keep it warm. Cozy!

    With the top down? Would be doable but really not very comfortable.

    Looking for suggestions for 270 awning. Bunduawn?

    How about coverage? I went with the Darche over the 23zero because the latter didn't appear to cover my rear door.

    Looking for suggestions for 270 awning. Bunduawn?

    It seems dependant on being setup carefully: if water pools at the seam, it starts to slowly drip through. I'll need a few more rainstorms to really get a feel for that. It's enormous, though. Love the coverage.
