    Power to the People!

    ...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.

    not to get all up in your business...but here are a couple things that might be of interest to you 400ah is a big battery. depending on the type, you might be able to use a fast charger like what i bought for my 280ah batteries. 14.6v @ 20 amps. it will really pack those electrons in there...

    Power to the People!

    awesome. I think I will be fine with the 400 ah battery and a couple of solar panels putting some charge back in. Every few days it will charge from the jeep when we are towing to our next destination.

    Power to the People!

    ...delta 2 which is 1200wh with a 1800w inverter built in. the delta 2 ran the 12v fan for 12 hours and took 30% of the charge. i used a 300w solar panel and had the delta 2 charged back up to 100% in under an hour. so thats roughly the same results i got off the 100ah lipo battery with a...

    Anti Shanty Overland Trailer

    Any downside with running the AC in the front? Does it overheat your electronics Stored in the front? Do you open the doors in the front "closet " when running the AC? I‘ve Been leaning toward the side AC mount as it maximizes space, but i See the benefit of not having that big box on the side.

    Trailer multi-power source setup

    AFAIK there is no 1 unit that does it all. I use a RedArc Trailer S for charging off the 7 pin, it also can charge solar. For shore power charging I have used NOCO or Xantrex units. NOCO sounds best for your application. After conversion to 12VDC, this all goes to a Circuit breaker and then...

    Trailer multi-power source setup

    ...powers everything, and I have a standard 2amp NOCO battery charger and the refrigerator plug into a NOCO 110volt splitter that is used for shore power and while it’s parked at home. Been wired this way for over 4 years with no problems. I have added solar yet, but I will hopefully do it someday.

    Trailer multi-power source setup

    I'm brand new to trailers and solar, and am hoping someone can check my setup so that I'm not about to do something stupid. I've got a Taxa Woolly Bear (2021) that I'm going to expand to a dual battery (parallel) system on. Everything in the trailer is wired for 12V DC - no AC and I'm not...

    Overlanding and CPAP

    I don't have a CPAP, but had a heart pump for a year. So I brought my LVAD (left ventricle assistance device) batteries with me everywhere I went. Looked up the power requirements and ended up with an ecoflow delta 2. Was enough to keep me off grid for about 5 days, more with the solar panel.
