22 Year Battery Evolution RV -> RV & Home -> RV w/Solar & Home For 17 years I used golf cart batteries and Honda 2000i with my travel trailer. I used the Honda generator for power outages at home in the winter. My wife and drove from St. Paul, MN to Fairbanks, AK in 2018 and boon docked some...

I have enjoyed this thread. I have an old Dixon ZTR gasser I might convert to electric. On a different note about battery life. I built a 125ah LFP for my travel trailer, a couple years ago using Will’s design. It worked well until I had corrosion problems on the home made terminal strips...

Sold. No longer available.

I will take 75. Let’s continue off line.

Julie, There would be no warranty on a resale purchase of a crowd-funded product. This will only support 40a in native configuration. It will support control of just about any amperage you'd like, but it would be a custom build, with signals from the SBMS40 controlling electronic switches or relays.

I monitor my LIFEPO battery amp-meter. It is too fast to detect any surge and I don't believe inverters have a surge in the conventional transformer sense. The overall start-up is substantially different than the OEM unit. IF the OEM would start - and many times it would not, because of the...

This is the one I have.

I swapped the OEM microwave oven in my Jayco trailer for a Panasonic NN-SD372S 950 watt inverter-based microwave purchased and delivered from Staples (out of pocket was $70 because of my wife's Staples rewards.) I intended to reduce the startup demand on my 12v-120v 2K watt Kisae inverter. The...

I will start a new thread. I don’t want to move the topic. (See: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/swap-trailer-microwave-transformer-based-for-inverter-based-panasonic-microwave.21096/)

I own a Midea 8k inverter based window unit. It would be a chore to put it in an RV. It is exceptionally quiet and very efficient. I wish the Dometic folks would go inverter. I have whole house AC. The Midea allows me to keep our bedroom at 66 for pennies while the rest of house is at a...

Price drop to $115, plus shipping.

It just arrived from the Indegogo campaign, but I am going in a different direction. I would really like to use this thing, but time and energy are at a premium. The pictures are right out of the package I received via UPS this morning. I have done nothing with it other than taking pictures and...
