yup and those specs haven’t changed just trying to figure out the grounds. so if I were going to run the negative wire all the way back to the front where would I ground it? The negative terminal of the second battery? Then run a cable between the negative of the main battery and the second...

First off let me say you're absolutely correct it is probably more power than I will need. I am trying to future proof it a bit so I only have to do this once. So the Garmin power switch fully loaded would be 100amp and the fuse block would be 100amp so I am running 200amps just so if I hit...

I'll for sure update the build thread. This is like the last thing on my list! Well.. for now...

awesome thank you. That’s what felt normal to me but after going down the rabbit hole I got confused.

ok so if I ground it near the rear of the truck and I get issues then try another location? Or should I start by grounding the second battery to the main battery?

Ok follow up here If I am running 200amps on the positive cable to the rear would you all run the same size cable back to the negative of the second battery or just run the same size cable to a ground somewhere near the rear such as the frame? Trust me I just went down a rabbit hole of "where...

Ohh hello fellow Texan Hofmann’s supply in San Marcos

So I got some 2/0 to run and it was about $4.80 per foot from a welding store. They didn't have lead in that size, but yikes 60 feet of it I just closed my eyes and handed him the credit card.

Thanks yeah that got added to the list when I was heading down the rabbit hole last night. This should be a fun install trying to put in this angled area of a box I have on the camper so fun with angle cuts and such too! going to USA SB350 Anderson connection to to the whole box and determined...

Sounds like I have a fun weekend hunt ahead of me! Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

Awesome that makes me think I am not insane because no where in there did you laugh at me and tell me I was going about this all wrong :) so that itself is very helpful. Any chance you can send me a link to that cable? The stuff I am looking at on amazon or anywhere online is $100+ for 50'...

Ok so have done plenty of one wire installs to lights, 12v sockets etc all connecting to something like an SPOD or recently Garmin power switch but I am planning on doing a little more complex install to the back of my camper when I get my second battery mount. So admittedly this is probably...

Hey certainly fun to talk about regardless! Let me know if I can help! Love the power wagon and happy to recruit folks to the club.

For sure! And yeah looking cool of course is a thing, I don't take those shots of my truck for nothing! One thing to note that caught me off guard was the bolt pattern on my trailer. I couldn't get the PW bolt pattern 8x6.5 on my axels on my trailer, so the tires are interchangeable but the...

Yeah if your trailer lines up with the truck that helps a ton with drag too, mine tucks in there pretty nicely so not a ton of additional drag than what the truck has. But of course you'll start looking at these Power Wagon threads and you'll want 37s and you'll rip the plastic cowling under...

I get around 12mpg with the trailer and 14-15 if I am just cruising down the highway in flat ass Texas.

I was just going to start a star thread! Then I saw this... so I will add mine from just outside of Pagosa Springs last weekend before the smoke set in!

Hey thanks! It is about 22.5" from the top of the groove on the bed to the bottom of the tray. The tray also sticks into the bed about 11" from the bedrail. I have a ARB Elements fridge and it fits under there, you can't open it all the way when it is slid back in there but you can just...

Ok it's been a bit but I wanted to update with a few things: Air Bags - I got the Airlift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus (who that's a mouthful) installed before hauling the trailer and a ton of gear back to Colorado for a few weeks and man does that make a difference on the road. Prior the...

glad it helps yeah it’s maybe a half inch taller than the cab at their peaks.
