Thanks! I'm happy with the size of solar panel and battery selected. The fridge manual suggests it will draw 8.2A. It doesn't run very often in cool weather. I can also set the temperature higher if need be. Mostly interested in any feedback on fuse/wiring sizing. And if anyone has input...

I think there was a little XM reception lost when I added the camper, but not that noticeable. It didn't seem to affect radio reception at all. I'm not sure where the 2019 Tacoma radio antenna is. XM is definitely in the shark fin. I did try disconnecting components to see what the...

Since my solar/electrical system went live my FM radio reception has tanked. In the city here I've always had perfect FM reception for local stations, even after a cabover camper was installed on my Tacoma. Some stations will come in fine at one location but then fade in and out within a few...

I'd have to look to confirm, but did not twist the solar pos/neg cables far as I can recall. It might be possible to go back and do that depending how much it would shorten them. They're pretty fixed right now. I only ran a positive wire from the alternator. It is grounded direct to chassy...

Yup, mine would flash a low voltage warning pretty quickly if I have the ignition on but engine not running. It stayed reasonably cool in the low 50s on my last big trip but I'd like it colder for food. Don't need to freeze anything, but the beer does need to be kept cold : ) . It won't be as...

Hi everyone, I've been doing research and have made designs for two variations of a solar/battery setup for my truck and camper. I'd appreciate any input on design or components, things that might work better, etc. Fuse and wire size selection are definite concerns. I recently installed a...

RIght now it's grounded to a particular bolt on the frame someone recommended. Where would I want to run the ground to - alternator? Elsewhere in engine bay? Thx
