I kinda like this one, for the use I need. https://smile.amazon.com/Shielded-Industrial-Bulkhead-Waterproof-Connector/dp/B07V317BYF/

Also, part of the "cut the cable" (for me) is I want an IP65 RJ45 port on the outside of the rig.

I have the newest flat-faced Dishy McDishFace or whatever they call it! Heh. Yeah, I miss my RJ11 and RJ45 toolkit. I do NOT miss getting cat5/6 straightened out to squeeze into the little plugs. Ha ha ha.

Here's an article on making Starlink DC that I've referenced a few times to others: https://www.offgridcto.com/2022/05/23/starlink-on-pure-dc-power/

It's possible, maybe, to run the Drobo on the 12V setup like I do for a lot of the other electronics. The difference is, those all stay on all the time, whereas I definitely don't want the Drobo on all the time. (Much more power hungry.) Getting the Starlink to 12V, that's a messy proposition...

Yes and no. For starters, "heavy" also implies overkill. I just don't need that much battery power available for a very, very short window. Secondly, in an RV, every pound absolutely matters. Things tend to come "into" the RV more than they go "out". I'm already carrying 1500 pounds of...

That's just a fairly standard UPS, and having had a similar one in the past, they're quite heavy, and overkill for a 2 to 3 second power delay. Thanks for posting it, though.

We are full-time RV'ers. We're doing more and more boondocking and all is good with our 4x100ah LiON batteries, solar and generator. What we do have is a small issue I'd like to see if anyone has any solutions / ideas to resolve. We work full time, and we carry a variety of electronics. I...
