...of the heater, wasn't able to swap in the new battery. I did however, make longer crossbars for the roof, so that I have room to mount the solar panels. I also cut some brackets for mounting them. I also scored a mega deal on a 270 awning with 2 walls. So, the 6 foot awning will be going...

Thanks, great idea about the screens in them - I deal with wasp nests around the house every summer and it'd be a rude shock to open the battery box up and find a nest inside!

...about heat when using the lead acid batteries, but i try to manage heat now that i am using the lithium batteries. i have a cabin i run off solar and the lipo battery i have for it is outside in a box and sees extreme heat in the summer (over 110 degrees) and so far no problems, but i really...

You say that, but I just ordered a 300Ah battery for my trailer, and recently added 400w worth of solar to it. I'm expecting to push 30+ amps during the summer with the combined 20A DC-DC and solar.

For anyone else that stumbles across this, it does sense the voltage change to switch. For my use case, without a permanently attached solar panel, there's 0 change that I'll have the solar panel setup while connected to the car.

The LiTime charger has solar input as well, right? Does it sense voltage change to determine if the vehicle is running, or is there a trigger wire that turns the charger on? I'm still waiting for my renogy chargers to die, but they haven't yet.... Edited - I answered my own question.

nice set up. ive been using LiTime for a while now and did a build with the same battery you have, but i just went with their 20A charger instead of the 40. i have a black metal tongue box and it gets pretty hot when in the sun, so i did add some extra vents (stainless marine vents for boat)...

...be fused in the tounge box. This will allow whoever buys it to choose whether they want to use a power station, or put a battery in there with solar. There's not enough room for much of a fridge. I suppose somebody could put a small 21qt or something like that in the galley. I'll make sure...

Picked up an EcoFlow River 3 and 100w solar panel. I know it's not super powerful, but it's just fine for my needs. https://us.ecoflow.com/products/river-3-portable-power-station

Solar panels came in on Thursday. I managed to set them on the trailer, and was getting about 10-11A in what is basically winter sun. I'm curious to see how it performs during the summer months, but I'm honestly very happy with that. I went from 17% charge to 77% by the time the sun went down...

...100% and then 0% and then 100%, etc. im learning a good bit off these threads. ive been gradually swapping a lot of stuff over to electric and with better solar panels and lifepo4 batteries, im getting to where electric is actually pretty doable out in the middle of nowhere. ok...whats...

Very nice setup sir.

The power plate with amps and volts will give actual power use. However, YES, microwaves are advertised using their MAGNETRON OUTPUT WATTS, NOT POWER USE! Most microwaves are about 65% efficient at converting input electricity to output magnetron waves... only part of that gets intercepted by...

im interested in this because i use a lot of solar and battery to operate 120v appliances...so you are saying that any microwave that has an advertised watt rating is actually going to use twice the power it is advertised as? i didnt know that. we have a lot of power outages here and ive been...

...usage for cooking and other tasks, so they can calculate how many Watt-hrs they need of battery in a day, or to last several days without solar or recharge. This is the physically smallest GE microwave in their 0.7 cu ft linup, and was also rated as the best small countertop microwave by...

Yeah, but that'll keep things topped up, without having to worry about it. I don't currently run a fridge in there all the time, but we'll see over the winter how much I get during the day. I think I should get enough to keep one in there full time, and not have to worry.
