Looks like I'm rockin Lake Havasu for a while before meandering through the AZ and NM. If you're in the area say howdy.

Thanks for that. I'm headed to Quartzsite firstly and not in a breakneck hurry about it. If my path takes me near to or through those places I think I would like to spend more time there and star gaze. I'm looking for ANYWHERE that's not a damned wagon train of vacationers and foreign tourists...

I'm about to make another southerly loop in the beast from visiting the PNW. Does anyone have recommendations for cities or places, events etc to check out between now and Springtime in these southern desert area? Ghost town, ranches, other places of interest? I'm starting a bucket list...

Yup USB VE cable for shunt. Bus bars? You haven't seen the actual build have you? You know nothing, it's a GD picture I looted from somewhere.

Nope. It's going right at the output of the Daygreen DC-DC converter, it's purpose to give more accurate reading on the actual consumption of the house DC draw. It's "floating out there" because be because I didn't see the need to draw to tiny lines to illustrate. You may notice that this is the...

This is the schematic for the system I've been putting into place the past few months as time allows. Thanks to The_Colorist for his design ideas and all the heavy lifting on the schematic. And thanks again to Cinergi for his great advice and info!

Turns out this was 2 different problems, 1) The Orion BMS JR needed the proper settings in the profile uploaded to the device and 2) the Orion Utility installed in Windows can't be seen on the LAN as in the pic, because the Cerbo GX BMS input is only the CAN-high and CAN-low and it doesn't pass...

Hello all, The only way I can currently access the Orion BMS JR is via a rs-232 to USB cable. But I need to access this via LAN and through the Victron Cerbo GX. An ethernet cable goes from my router to the Victron Cerbo GX, and I am able to access this and updated FW etc. On the Cerbo there...

The roads near Denver are from hell, and love to punish RVs. :D But I think they have Waffle House, so I might roll through once more some day. Somewhere over the rainbow, I'll post threads on all the individual aspects of the builds. Once I'm done with all the uploads, I'll quite the forum...

This has been a l o n g hard year. As I've tooled around the US in my RV, I've tried to do a major installation with very little help available to me. Trying to do this work while up to my neck in parts and supplies has been a real PITA. Working full-time and trying to make progress in the...

Go to this site and look at the products - https://atkinsonelectronics.com/search.php?search_query=GSCM Call them and talk to Abner Jenkins, he will ensure you get the right module and offer some connectivity diagram etc. You'll need to splice into the momentary start button etc with a short...

I'm looking to head South and finish up some installs. If you are there are or intimately familiar with resources, know people who can assist with panel installation etc, please PM me. If you're there and you want to buy me a drink and talk sh*t - PM ME :D .

Of course Mike is OK. I know it, you know it, the American people know it! He did great by me and I feel the pain and burden of the situation he was put in. This wasn't his doing or anything he perpetuated. In as much as any of you are inconvenienced or out-of-pocket, he all all the more and...

Mine is mounted as the primary for the entire 12v system, and I should be turning it up in the next week. I'll post how things operate with it WITHOUT a capacitor. For me the steps and the smaller bedroom slide is the main load, I'm gonna wire the generator to pull off the new start battery just...

1) Sell it on Ebay and get whatever $$ 2) Find an electronics repair shop and ask them to have a go at it for a maximum price you're will to pay and keep it. .
