    NC Piedmont/CLT Meet-Up Planning

    NC Piedmont/CLT Meet-Up Planning

    Trey, thanks for taking the lead on this. The weekend of the 29th is great for me. I also would vote for south to north. I'll be coming across I-40 (yuck) from eastern NC.

    In the Public's eye

    OK, Gentlemen, I've been silent long enough. I have been researching this event and the situation in Bolivar "Crystal Beach" Texas. I have called the Bolivar Chamber of Commerce and discussed the beach weekend at length with a very nice lady. That conversation yielded some interesting facts...

I'm sure the open circuit voltage is much higher, I haven't put a meter on it. The D250SA spec. sheet says Input 11.5 to 23 volts and 25 amps. I haven't noticed...

    Solar Power-interesting read

    New member here, joined at Overland West 2019. First post and I'll start off by saying that I'm not an expert on solar nor am I an Electrical Engineer. I thought I'd offer what has worked for me for the past couple of years. I have an ARB 50 qt. fridge and leave it in my rig running all the...
