I use non-watertight Anderson SB50s for everything. Easy, works. Water is not an issue for low-voltage under most circumstances for things you are deploying when required. A.

We wear Crocs and just shove them between the tent and the vehicle roof. Doesn't matter if they get wet/fall down into the mud, etc.

Right, I see that point now. I still feel like the panel itself should be protected, but it’s probably fine. I have a length of 6ga run from the battery to the panel which is in he rear of my truck. 30A fuse at the battery. A.

I disagree. But I'm shy from watching a friend's truck burn 400KM from civilization.

The breaker/fuse at the battery is to protect the wire it is on. So factor how large of a wire that is, to get your correct fuse rating. I would avoid a breaker as they encourage one to just reset it and stick one's head in the sand, when there is a problem.

You should be able to see zero draw if nothing is turned on or charging. :)

Are you expecting a draw like that?

That's a great idea!

My GARB also arrived and I’ve mounted it up. Seems very well made and I like the vertical side pocket a lot. The mounting system is odd but appears to work. Time will tell the rest of the story!

Why do so few of these designs pay attention to those of us living with blackflies?

Alu-Cab, Bundutech, Darche, Rhino-Rack, and Eesi-Awn.

Seems JB have had a change of distributorship in the USA.

I'm also debating the same issue: Bunduawn James Baroud (has a proper bug-proof room option) Kinsmen Alu-Cab Darche A.

I have two of these: http://www.extech.com/display/?id=14413 An extremely useful tool for this kind of thing. A.

How large is the bank? (I didn't read all the way back.) Float charge could be 2.7A if the bank is large enough, I think. (Could be wrong on that.) Meaning the monitor is wired to the shunt backwards… A.

Turns out there is a manufacturer down the highway from me, going to check them out shortly: http://atlanticbraids.com/product/abl-soft-shackles/ A.

Mine is also black. I've never noticed if it was hot, since I don't generally have to touch the top surface. It does seem to do a good job baking the humidity out of the linens inside it, though. :) A.
