Questions: -- Is the low voltage constant, or only when the induction cooktop is running? -- Is the induction cooktop new? I have used an induction cooktop on my past and present campers and you may have to set the low voltage shutoff on your inverter down to below 11v. BUT, the voltage...

You are a perfect fit and way ahead of must of us! More pictures! (Some of us have been fascinated by trailers for years.

Actually, once they killed the Malayan and Siberian, they actually stepped way down, but the lower price of the Bengal reflects that, especially used, and, if you save enough, you can upgrade many of the systems.

One of these might interest you. http://www.tigervehicles.com/inventory/

As I say, best wishes. I contacted Eastern about buying mine, but they are not interested - said they had plenty and $25 a wheel, delivered, was too much. The wheels in question are speculated to have been made by Global Wheel in the Netherlands. They come with welded steel balancing weights in...

Balanced on a heavy truck balancer, twice. The first time they balanced at about 20-30 oz. per wheel. That worked, more or less. Well enough for a couple of months in the Maritimes. When I got back, I rotated the tires due to the odd wear. At this point, putting the spare on the road, the...

I have a set of those wheels. Hope you have better luck than I did. Basically, they are way too heavy and suffer from lateral and radial runout. After exhausting options in the US, I ordered a set of wheels from Expeditions-LKW-DE in Germany. This is the same company used by several folks on...

Jon, The Webasto Dual Top offers two options. -- When off, a purge at 45F is automatic. While this protects the Dual Top, it does nothing for the water in the rest of the camper. -- There is a "Frost Protect" mode. This must be selected, but basically, the unit is off until the temp drops to...

OK, this did not get added to my last post. We are talking about the difference between: And this: And between this: And this: Heat and indoor plumbing have much to recommend them! We overland, we don't "wheel" or camp.

Worth noting that Beloved Spouse and I drove all over Africa and South America for over 30 years without even a second battery. (https://www.pbase.com/diplostrat) But we are older and uglier now and do love our diesel heat! We are not arguing one way or another, but you asked. In our case...

I use 120v for: -- Induction cooktop -- Coffee maker -- Toaster -- Microwave -- Charging vacuum and various batteries But then our truck does not have propane. Went some 18 months without shore power as a test. Once I proved the point, i confess I have been less dogmatic. For example, I plug...

Allow me my hobby horse here: Your house battery must be sized correctly for your load. If you do that, it will never run down. A battery isolation system can be thought of as like a fuse. That said, a second alternator/regulator is an excellent, perhaps the best, way to maintain a second...

Sorry for the delay. The actual purchase was made by Terry Lee Enterprises. The alternator was a new, 100A, 24v unit. Other than the pulley, it was plug and play for our 917. Give Nations a call.

As noted, there are several ways to do this. The usual is to create your own island of either 110v or 220v. While 220v has benefits, certainly, if the beast is going to spend most of its time in the US, then I would go with 110v. A lot also depends on where you are going to build. Build in...

So, given that Toyotas are known to have low voltage, you are probably a strong candidate for a REDARC or Sterling B2B. Where are you going to mount that camper battery? Side note. I used to own a diesel Land Cruiser. Bought used in Djibouti and had it at a second car for about three years. I...

24v? Is this a diesel Cruiser? I use a REDARC DCBC 1240D to charge a 12v camper bank from a 24v starter battery, so it may be that I know exactly what you are trying to do.

Understand about the lights, but my point is that you need to have enough power for your loads, whatever they may be. Relying on a battery isolator to get you home is a bit like relying on a fuse to keep you safe when your house circuit is overloaded. In this case, the battery you are...

Yes. And CTEK and Sterling B2B's all provide the same isolation function. But if leaving the lights on will kill your battery you need to redesign your system. None of these units provide a self-jump capability. The REDARC supports remote tell tale LED's and some Sterlings have large remote...
