So the deal is that I'd like to be able to, in nice weather, use my power in a shade tent. (Google clam tent, they're nifty instant popup shade tents that take less than a minute to setup) I also will want to work from my truck cab a bit, at least before my wedge camper arrives. In fact, I...

So I have a full sized truck and plan on adding the below wedge camper solution: https://www.superpacificusa.com/ My goal is to become a digital nomad; I'm a software developer by trade. I want to program in off road places. My power system goal is to make sure I have a relatively hassle free...

So I'm a dope and forgot that my air conditioning unit will be DC power. So no worries going with a smaller inverter.

I had thought of a mixed system like that. Maybe the way to go. Have you seen any designs that allow for a quick removal of a battery in series/parallel that would allow it to be used separately? From everything I can tell, that's just not a realistic ask. As far as portability is concerned...

Definitely want to be well vented if you're using one inside, even though they're *supposed* to intelligently handle oxygen detection. I figured with windows cracked -- and my tent top has passive venting, thankfully -- I could run something like that during the day as needed, or, in the...

Yeah, good point on usability. The way I was thinking about it is that the "lead" battery would have to be in a container with all the components attached. I'd just untether it from the rest of the batteries whenever I wanted to use it elsewhere.

Problem: How do I make the following items work together concisely? I want a concise system for my truck camper. I want an all-in-one unit that interface with so it can be used in other applications. 1) I want to have a 200 or 300 AH lithium battery (good quality + good BMS, like a SOK) for...

Hi all. First time build here. Building for a small fiberglass truck camper. I need to be able to setup a relatively robust remote work environment as I'll be working on the road with starlink doing software development. I'm struggling to nail down what components I actually want to go with...

I don't see this being a permanent solution, per se. But I need to make it work when I'm using it. I'm already used to sleeping in a car and roughing it in general. I've done a lot of traveling, and some of my hobbies include going pretty well off grid. (storm chasing, hiking, landscape...

Getting OT a bit... but that's going to beat the thing that 25 feet in the air? I'll have to find some more reviews

Oh nice. That may work. Assume it can temporary output more for a burst. Still need to figure out the behavior of that AC as I don't have my hands on it yet. (overlanding outfitter is going to install it on camper before I get it) Edits: Ideally would like more than 50a charge on AC, but...

Leaning towards sucking it up and just going with all Victron stuff. I hadn't figured the solar panel into that number anyway. I've got to try and put together the $$$ I'll spend on wires/fuses etc and tools.

Ah, I do plan on buying a bag like that for sure. The electric blanket was only an idea, something I may use with a bag like that to to warm things up. I didn't plan on leaving some 100w blanket on overnight.

So I'm working on a van build and already have an Anker 767. I'm thinking of using it as the front end of my battery setup for solar input and AC inverter work. I'd like to couple it with a 300AH battery that will get alternator charging and power a few DC items in the van. (Heater and fan...

The gas strut support roof is rated at 100lbs. My idea was to eventually throw on two or three 150w+ flexible panels. They're lighter weight and can support inclement weather better. (I run the risk of hail where I hang out, so I'd have to be concerned with removing them often enough if they...

Would look at something like this https://www.zerobreeze.com/products/zero-breeze-mark-2?variant=29542713720934
