Love my unistrut.

Yup. Battery to Lynx.

The inside of those hex crimps is solid copper. The individual strands are cold welded together and that is cold welded to the lug.

This makes me happy.

My SOK BMS will not reset with a load. And it needs 14.8V to wake it up. Giant PITA finding 14.8A for a mobile application. Solar: nope. Inverter/charger: nope. Any battery charger: nope. DC-DC from tow vehicle: nope. I have to use an adjustable bench power supply. I just made a battery...

Rut Roh. I have 400Ah of LiFePO4 installed under my bed in my RV. When my 3rd SOK comes in next week, it will be 600Ah.

Also, a neat trick for that skylight (I assume it's in the shower) is to coat it with white plastidip (comes in a rattle can). Really reduces the heat in the camper but still lets in lots of light.

For some reason someone convinced me that solar disconnects should be double pole. So I went with these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096315TSJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

5 lbs steel sledge hammer pounding the impact crimper on concrete. Do I need to use my giant 10 lbs sledge with the full length handle?

Is your RV going to be 30A or 50A shore power service?

Just added 2 more 200W mono panels to my setup. I love using unistrut. I use the Renogy tilt mounts because they are cheap and make it easy to pre-assemble the unistrut on the ground. This is aluminum untistrut and mounts so it doesn't weigh much. I just carry it up the RV ladder. Place...
