    Thanks, I have had these units for a couple years and acquired them one or two at a time and now have what I have described. Can you suggest what I should use if I was doing this project from scratch? If it is not too expensive, I maybe could liquidate the lesser pieces and replace them with...

    Thanks, I must have not been clear when I said I had 20 cameras. That is in two locations that have power, my work and home. I am just putting 2 cameras at the cabin and will not add more until I get the solar and batteries upgraded to a level that will power more cameras and other items. I...

    Thanks, this is very much like what I am trying to do at my cabin!
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    I am starting a project with my pop up camper that I would like to run by someone smarter than me :) I have two Battle Born batteries (BB10012 - Battle Born 12V 100Ah) and connect them in parallel into my 3000W pure sine wave inverter. I will also have the batteries connected to a PD9180LV...

    Thanks, I didnt mention but I do have some 1500 and 2000 watt inverters that use a modified sine wave.
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    no they are regular plugs like in the house
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    I have these inverters also PX2000 - PowerBright 2000 Watt 12v DC to 110v AC , Modified Sine Wave Power Inverter w/ USB & LCD
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    Sounds about what I was thinking as well. I will get the watt hours to compare with your larger unit, probably negligible difference tho. What should I look at first if I want to go longer? I can add two more batteries but I don't think the charger will handle 6 batteries but I do have two of...

  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    Yes I have the 3000 watt pure sine wave inverter, two of the PD9180LV - 80 Amp Li-Ion Converter Chargers and the transfer switch

    Going out to the garage to work on the pop up, I will be back shortly
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    Oh I forgot, I do have two full size Renology 100 watt (each) solar cells new in the box
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    I have ordered all the items from Watek, I will let you know when they arrive

    Can someone tell me why some posts are now blank except for a slash? /
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    I looked but couldnt find your info, can you provide a link?
  • Post in thread: About to start an off grid project

    Would one of either of these be enough for what I need?
  • Post in thread: About to start an off grid project

    First time poster, glad to be here :) I have an off grid cabin that has no AC. I need to install 2 of the solar panels shown in the attached photo. These are brand new panels but I bought them a few years back and they have been in my home office since purchased. I am sure the technology has...
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    No real panel, just a flip down panel with three fuses and breakers in it
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    This is doable. I also have 2 Gauge 2 AWG wire and properly sized copper lugs with thick heat shrink to build the cables. I see your topo says 4 for the dc distribution. I may have some of that as well
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    Yes there is a DC portion of the OEM converter and its only purpose is to charge the aux wet cell battery so the dc lighting will work Remember, I am leaving the OEM system alone and installing a complete second system with its own wiring and outlets. They will never interfere with each other...
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    True but the difference should be insignificant in this project? I already have the 2 AWG on hand
  • Post in thread: About to start an off grid project

    Thanks, Yes I forgot to mention that I already have this charge controller. It should have ample capability for me to grow and ad more panels and batteries as I move forward this summer
  • Post in thread: About to start an off grid project

    Well my brain is smoking from reading all the battery specs so I believe this is what I am going to do. I have three of these Battle Born batteries that are <6 months old. Two of them are in my enclosed trailer and the third one was going to go in my pop up this spring but I believe I will use...
  • Post in thread: About to start an off grid project

    Thanks for the feedback The cabin probably does drop below freezing inside since there is no heat, however, I went up there this past weekend expecting the bottles of water stored there to have frozen when it got down to the lower single digits a couple weeks ago. If they did freeze, none showed...
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    I would love to start over but it appears I will have to live with what I have because of cost. I don't have a problem replacing an item or two but right now is not a good time to spend a couple grand What would suggest utilizing what I have? I do have two more batteries I could use but that...
  • Post in thread: Pop Up Camper power plan & questions

    I have 4 Battle Born batteries (BB10012 - Battle Born 12V 100Ah) and two more (SOK 100Ah 12V LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Batteries) 6 Batteries in total and all are 100AH
