    US West My Annual September Mojave Road trip

    Right on David, your sig says Golden Valley, didn't think about Summerlin! LOL! Ok, thanks.......I'll add you to the list. Can you make cell calls through Starlink? I read that they were testing that a few years ago and apparently you can. I may need to call Starlink directly and ask them. And...

    ...if I am away from the campsite and still have a cell signal to get alerts. It is more for SHTF scenarios plus all the food, brass, propane, solar panels and generators and water. I am up in Summerlin next to the mountain so I'll be driving down - maybe cross Christmas Tree pass on the way...

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

    BLUETTI solar generator with panels to power my rig off grid. Having a solar generator with the new LifePro battery system will insure a longer battery life. Solar will now power fridge/freezer, lights, charger system for phone/drone/iPad and keep our new StarLink system up and running full time.

    Inverter recommendation for 100aH deep cycle battery?

    ...You are going to soend money if you want the least amount of wasted energy. Hopefully you have a way to charge on the go like a portable solar panel. Inverters will have a constant draw on top of the inefficiency going from dc - ac. would recommend trying to get everything off of 12v to...

    Advice on solar setup for Jeep with Ursa Minor

    ...I realize there's no clear right/wrong solution. But based on the input I've collected here and elsewhere, I'm leaning towards hooking the solar up to the Jackery, as I really don't want to risk depleting my car battery. In the future, I might consider mounting a dedicated Lithium battery...

    power options for our camping setup.

    Yeah generally speaking, higher voltage is more efficient and you run lower amps at the same wattage for longer, cooler runs on thinner wire. For a simple single battery setup I find sticking with 12v easier and more convenient.

    power options for our camping setup.

    ...use vs. Ac. However, there is a recent trend in PowerStations for the internal battery to be 48V, not 12V, allowing higher amps, higher mppt solar charge voltages, smaller and cooler internal wiring. Examples include most recent Oupes, Ecoflow, and Pecron as of Jul24. Because of this, the...

    ...type you have but will usually be a few AH draw each. My surface pro is about 120w (10ah off 12v) which becomes more running off the inverter due to inefficiency. 5-7 days can be possible dependant on useage. you could very well extend the time (almost indefinitely) with a foldable solar panel.

    Advice on solar setup for Jeep with Ursa Minor

    ...I have several USB ports and various accessories wired to battery (B+) in all my vehicles. Both my vehicles and my trailer run a permanent solar panel. This keeps my battery wired accessories from killing my batteries. If your battery goes to zero volts, you pull a ton of life from it. How...

    Advice on solar setup for Jeep with Ursa Minor

    I'm getting an Ursa Minor J30 camper top installed on my 2019 JLU in a week. They will install a 200w Renogy solar panel on top, along with a Victron controller. I also have a Jackery 1000 power station that I'd like to integrate into my system, so I can reliably power my fridge and other...

    power options for our camping setup.

    @Autism Family Travels I can get 2 days out of Jackery 240 and a 37 Quart FC40TMP, with the temp set to 34 Deg F. I paired that with a 100 W Aimtom foldable solar panel, and it can keep ahead of the fridge draw in most cases, even light to medium overcast
