Do you even need the dc-dc ? If you are just going away weekends then use the solar and 7 pin hopefully they will replace........ or get close to the power you used over night.. When you get home plug in the shorepower or let the solar finish the charging to 100% while you are...

starting battery..... If you added loads like big lights , amplifier or camping stuff remove them and put the loads on your HOUSE (Lithium) Your SUV was designed to run just fine with the existing starting system. UNLESS you let it sit for weeks/months . Then you need to add a solar...

get a decent controller and as many panels you can make the controller big enough to handle any future upgrades to panels Then .... if that covers your power usage no need to look at dc-dc upgrade to truck my style of camping doesn't have a lot of driving... trailer gets parked for...

I was thinking put a hinge point on the wall above the slide... attach panels and frame to that so as you open the slide it tilts (opens) the panels away from wall . put some thin solid plastic or other material UNDER the panels so no water goes onto the roof now you have a useful slide...

M 2 cents... for an RV with a chassis and lifepo4 house only upgrade to a dc-dc if you drive each day 3 hours or more.. if you are unsure of your alternator disconnect the wiring in the BIM which allows the batteries to parallel I would spend the $$$ first on upgrading the...

any balancer bluetooth to tell you what each cell's values are? do they even get charged enough to allow the bms to balance?

use the 120v output from the generator the 12v from generator is more than likely not setup for more than a few amps @12vDC Victron 2000w Mulitplus Compact is a inverter/charger so it will charge your batteries 12v side and allow the 120v to power all your 120v appliances

look at mini split ... sell the inefficient rooftops

you got a lot more 12v stuff than you think study your 12v fuse panel and then look near the battery for any inline fuses...you will end up having to convert the power back to 12v at some point increasing battery capacity adding more battery (Ah) generally does not require a big...

???? join the bus bars to increase the length and no bolts seams to be a bad idea never saw that done before.????

you are trying to re-invent something that already exists and my head hurt just trying to make sense out of what you are thinking of putting together you got some good advice slow down and start looking at what is already being done. why in the world so many inverters? each of the...

Inverter in rear? 12v cable to the rear compartment ... how many feet is that away from battery? inverter charger install it under the bed right next to the battery

if your all in one is designed for 24v or 48v you have to have a battery bank that is 24v or 48v if you want to run the 12v appliances in the RV you have to get a 12v step down. the new step down has be powerful enough to run some of the heavy stuff like slides.. OR you can also...

lots of people have used heavy duty drawer slides + air cylinders search youtube for videos of them opening

I would ditch the smaller one ... reclaim the cupboard space look at a metal tool/battery box from Harbor freight should be enough room in the box for a battery and a small charger ... if your teardrop does not have a converter maybe have enough room to store other items too! I...

and don't think the microwave will actually heat stuff...... even if the display is lit. test with a glass of water inside

new style of panel you can bury it to release the attached fertilizer

vehicle body ground.............................. hook it to the front of the shunt with all the rest of the neg cables? use a decent negative busbar if needed. Busbar and shunt connected to the battery that does not have the main positive feed.

what are you doing with it? and is it worth the effort not being able to plugin to a outside power source

how often are you using the system? not camping a lot? manually switching the panels to the house when it has charged disconnect house from camper then connect ecoflow to the panels. you could rig up some voltage sensing relay to automatically switch...

original post has 4 x 304ah cells in parallel larger 15amp balancer can be an option

15amp balancer...... will get it done ? Andy also had videos for: you can leave balancer attached and externally switch it on/off use a voltage sensing relay at x volts turn on a balancer at y volts turn off don't know if the 15amp is a candidate for leaving it permanently attached?

remove one of the screws already used you will need to seal all the screws on the new panel therefore doing one more won't be an issue

what are the plans for the homestead power? anything that you use to power the trailer........... can it be re-used when you build the homestead power? I would build the homestead power system (48v) first then leave the trailer as is (12v) just plug trailer into the homestead power...

Not sure I would mount the water pump inside the electrical box

The dc-dc charger will protect the Starting battery in the truck the Converter is only send 12v to the OUTPUT of the dc-dc so it won't feed back

while you are out driving ... trailer will be using minimal power a couple of good solar panels will charge it if you have a lot of shade you could deploy a ground panel as well Have enough battery capacity to last around 2 or 3 days just-in-case weatherperson does not like you Would be...

Theoretical ..can this be done and would it be safe? I have been thinking is it possible to modify a WFCO or Progressive 30 amp distribution panel into a 50amp then connect only one leg from shore power 50amp ? This would allow a bit more freedom to use some appliances while using...

the RV power requirements and distribution panel sets the amperage here in USA there is either a 30 or 50 amp inlet on the trailer/RV and you get a cord according to the size you need Quality between brands I can't talk about only ever used one cord
