    Coachmen TD 9.0

    Looks great! I'm curious to know what upgrades you made to your suspension. Ours is in its 7th year and it's still going strong. I can't detect any problems with the suspension but I'm starting to think that I might want to freshen things up a bit. I'm considering putting in a 3500 lb...

    Harbor Freight Solar Panel??

    ...they have stepped up their game in the past few years. I may be an old dog but OK, I’ll givem a try. So here I am with the Predator 100 watt solar panel. It folds up and thanks to the magnetic handles, stays folded up. It is lightweight, 10lbs, and is easy to store. It works. I have 250...

    Solar panels

    Can never have too much solar or battery capacity, being able to get up in the morning and flick on an electric kettle for that first coffee or tea is priceless.

    Solar panels

    ...Those portable juice contraptions are fine for a 2-3 day weekend, any longer it would just be a pita to be dragging around. We used a mounted solar panel 100 watts, and a sun chaser panel 100 watts with dual 100ah AGM batteries and a Renogy controller for over 12 years to keep two fridges...

    Solar panels

    Solar is a game changer, i have a relatively small battery at only 75ah which is enough for my 50ltr Waeco fridge and some LED lighting but i added a 160W panel for those times that we stay in place for a while without driving. Panel is 1200mm x 660mm so still gives me room for a swag or one of...

    Solar Panel recommendations

    I have a renogy 120w panel on my roofrack, it connects to my ecoflow delta 2 directly. When camping, I also bring a 220w folding solar panel, just in case. I prefer my power system not tied to my vehicles power system at all.

    Portable solar panel/generator

    ...They are just strapped in place. When I go camping, I can bring the fridge and battery out, closer to my table or wherever needed. My 120w solar panel is mounted to my roofrack though, but I have plenty of storage space to bring large totes/containers. Also a 220w folding solar panel in...

    Anderson Plugs

    I have not used those. I use a lot of the sb50 and the anderson powerpole connectors, and i have one sb150 for one of my solar chargers. The ones i have that have a low voltage goes to a small led light on the connector to show if its receiving power. I love the anderson connectors, would...

    Solar panels

    A solar system in an Overlander rig is a step towards self-sufficiency. If you are on the road every day, charging the batteries via the alternator is usually sufficient. However, if you are on longer trips and have extended periods of camping somewhere without driving, you will need an...

    Solar panels

    The Jackery is fine for a day or two. Base camp for anything longer and your wanting solar. I run 100 watts on my cruiser and 400 on my trailer with a 200 watt folding as a backup if I'm camped in the forest. On my old trailer, my 150 watt put back whatever my fridge used over night and still...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Just picked up a Jackery 1000 Plus and a few of the backup power banks. Primary use is to power a backyard shed that I was unable to hardwire. Secondary use will be for the rig. Next up will be solar panels and maybe a small fridge.
