    Hmm I'll grab pics of the roof top when I get back, i ordered a matching renogy flexible panel that was 100w and they all looked basically identical. I wonder if this is another thing that varies wildly between batches and years. I've now seen in person crazy differences between the D13/D15...

    *edited to fix embeds: I've mostly finished our Redarc retrofit, I've got a little more fusing to add for some of the primary positive sides but I'm waiting on the block to come in. I'm also swapping out to conductive tank sensors vs the resistive floats that are inside (using these tank...

    That's an awesome idea, once my cheap Weize batteries die, I'll expand it :)

    It's happening! Ripping out all of the existing controls and moving it all to redarc. Everything arrived today, but i'll be out of town this weekend and a wedding the next. Hoping i can start next week during the week assuming the weather and work holds up. I'm going to have my wife document...

    Our inner bathroom latch fell off. A+ half a thread per screw holding it in.

    I'm pretty sure they're Group 31, the ones I used were these cheap Weize 100ah ones: https://www.weizeus.com/collections/best-sellers/products/weize-12v-100ah-1280wh-lifepo4-lithium-battery-up-to-8000-deep-cycles-smart-bms?variant=44090015088868 They're 13*6.77*8.46 inches and fit perfectly...

    It could be that your batteries are low and the inverter's charger kicked on, too.. I think it defaults to 65a of charging which is ~900w (or more), the AC itself will draw ~850-900w total. With the AC compressor on, and the battery charger on at 65a you're likely just tripping the breaker at...

    Just swapping both the solar+inverter to Lithium mode.. The inverter/charger kinda sucks, and won't charge until you hit basically empty, so I'd recommend setting the charging voltages manually in it so you don't end up totally dead after 4-5 cloudy days in a row...

    Las Burras is an out-and-back, this video is the back part, going out was actually the toughest part and we didn't film it sadly. We camped at Las Burras #3 (the furthest site), this was the worst section of the trail which is about 3/4 of a mile down Las Burras rd. The rest was pretty...

    Oh not even the high performance dish, just the new v3 dish that is in beta now, should be GA later this year, same price as the current one but it's flat and non-motorized w/o the awful connectors.

    After dealing with having to constantly mess with the Renogy inverter and the poor performance of the PWM solar charger, I'm probably about to waste like $4k on: https://www.redarcelectronics.com/us/tvmscombokit1-na...

    The equalizer goes on and off super fast with airbags btw, I put an ARB twin compressor under the hood for airing up and down tires and the bags. I run 30psi with the bars and 40psi without. You can put 80psi in to jack up the rear to put the bars on and just let out to 30psi and settle it back...

    And we stopped at 2 Fun Towns on the way home looking for Equalizer parts since they're a "parts" distributor according to Equalizer and they had nothing and were super unhelpful and rude. 0/10 dealership chain, would not buy from again.

    I bought ours from Fun Town in Conroe, they were totally clueless about it, and still almost a year later haven't got me the parts we were missing (that i just bought out of pocket).. On the taco side, i'm probably going to move up to the same size tires the trailer has and do the trd pro...

    I think it's time to upgrade the truck so it can match the trailer..

    Pro-tip i just learned the hard way, if you do add the Equalizer, carry spare saddles/saddle studs. It becomes the low point on the front of the trailer and those grade 5 bolts shear first.

    Time for a Texas meetup! We're in Houston normally but we're out in West TX right now. I'm about to pack up and move from Big Bend to Big Bend Ranch for the next few nights. At night we've found the AC keeps up fine, even in New Orleans at 80f at night with 100% humidity. Also the little tiny...
