...for charging, in a truck camper. Particularly using an LFP as an inexpensive expansion, what cables need to be swapped around, alternator vs solar cable setups, etc.
I made this video showing all ways I can think of to recharge my Pecron, I think the ideas would apply to most other...
...change clothes, use the portable toilet, store gear. Zips on and off and has own storage bag. I have folded it up and stored it the tent still attached.
I like my ICECO DL75 dc/ac fridge. Holds plenty, runs off my battery, or shore power, or my solar panels.
Will follow to see your build...
...it was sketchy here for a moment but overall not the worse one we've gone through
We have the Onan 4500i, very efficient, plus a few jackery solar inverters. So we're not too bad off in that regard
Sponge bath is what we do now since my waterport is now empty. We don't have a manual way to...
...with this also hit me up I'll break down all the prep we go through), but not how to get a decent hot shower. We have a gas generator and a few solar batteries
We're on a well, so we provide any water to use once the power goes out
So basically, from that info, how to get my wife a hot...
...for desert camping out in the remote for a week or so, we will focus more on having multiple totes of water/fuel and make sure i have plenty of solar and battery since we wont have any hook ups. for remote camping we'll take a shower tent and a portable loo since we dont have the trailer.
i...
...days are getting shorter – around 11 ½ hours of daylight, with official sunrise around 7:20am and sunset around 6:50pm. The optimal angle for solar panels in Eureka this time of year is 32 degrees above horizontal. We will likely have foggy mornings at Usal and Klamath, but clearing as the...

also have several mppt controllers with 300w solar panels to keep batteries charged during the day. i also use large capacity batteries with inverters hooked directly to them for running box...
Best luck. I also consider (justify) stuff as dual use for emergency preparedness. Jackery 1500 and folding solar panel, Iceco fridge, tents, etc. Ultralight backpacking provides different options, obviously lighter grab and go on foot or bike. GMRS radio, though mines a 5 watt handheld and I...
...a shower system and plenty of dry goods storage can get you off the grid and keep you off the grid until you need more food and water. One solar panel is mounted on the racks, the other is a briefcase panel to chase the sun.
The Tepui Autana 3 Ruggedized RTT is only 3 years old and is in...
Nice, first person I've heard has the Pecron 3600, whichbreally sounds good. I Have their e1500LFP and 500W car charger, then I carry a 1280wh LFP, i.e. 12v 100Ah, that I use as an expansion battery for 2816 total Watt-hrs. I'm using a duxtop 9600LS induction, experimenting with it.
I went...
...used a Bluetti AC180 with good luck. I recently upgraded to a Pecron E3600 which has over more capacity and a bigger inverter. I have 400 watt solar and a 500 amp Pecron direct DC charger on the vehicle. ELectric power is not a concern for me now. I have stopped carrying any propane. I also...
...an “unofficial” free camping spot, as in not an established campground/campsite, where you are self-contained. Power would be off-grid, as in solar or a generator. Water would be transported in or filtered from a natural source. It can be on public lands, private land or commercial property...
...fridge/freezer.
I didn't want it connected to my jeeps battery whatsoever, so I don't worry about power anymore. Also bring a folding 220 watt solar panel in case
I thought about a 100/200ah lithium battery, but opted for the ecoflow since it's much more convenient for me, being portable.

...than a typical RV or trailer. Everything feels over-engineered and built to last. The off-grid capabilities are incredible! With the massive solar array and onboard battery capacity, you’ll never be short on power. I often ran the air conditioning at night without worrying about draining the...
i have a 65qt dometic that i used to run in our teardrop off of a 100ah agm battery that was hooked up to 200w of solar and it worked fine. even used that battery to run lights and a water pump. i find that the 12v coolers do quite well on not using a crazy amount of power...the hair dryer and...
...have an inverter purchased yet. I am hard mounting the battery in the "frunk" of the sylvansport Go camper. I will add the inverter and the solar charge controller in there as well. I am going to lose some space but if I can provide enough power for boondocking for 3-4 days without worry I...
