Nice !
Hope you dont have any shifting cargo to squash any of it...

Everything is tied down...years of different setups have taught me to have stuff secured.

Nice, clean setup! I really like the new usb plug.

ooh please tell me more about that powerpole mount, haven't seen that before and it's just the sort of thing I want.

eta ah nevermind, I found them on powerwerx' site. Thanks very much for making me aware of those.

What sort of charge controller is that? I can just barely make out that it might be MPPT.

Also it is nice to be able to monitor the battery voltage. PowerWerx and Ebay sellers have these that fit in the same sized hole as the other outlets do.:

Did you make that extension box for the RTT? I want something similar on mine

I have one of these on the battery box. At least lets me monitor battery condition.

How do you like that panel? How or is it attached to your trailer?

Cool! thanks for that link. Will be stealing that idea from you.

Could you fill me in on what those anderson plugs are for? (sorry if thats a dumb question I'm new to all this)

I bought an anderson plug kit and lost my mind..everything I have that is 12v is now converted.

That is the backside of the box for my toolchest that faces outside.

Same with me. They are just so easy to use. The only issue I had was with Goal Zero lights. The wiring is wrapped outside of each other.

You can get the Anderson Powerplugs and all the different accessories from powerwerx.com. I use them for all my 12 volt connections. Not to hijack the thread but here is my portable power-box I am currently working on.
