Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
I have not used those. I use a lot of the sb50 and the anderson powerpole connectors, and i have one sb150 for one of my solar chargers. The ones i have that have a low voltage goes to a small led light on the connector to show if its receiving power.
I love the anderson connectors, would...

Renogy 200 watt solar panel
Hi everyone! I purchased these three items for a camping trip I just returned from over the weekend. I used the JP50 as a freezer and pre-cooled it at home to 0°F using AC power, which worked perfectly. It was...

A solar system in an Overlander rig is a step towards self-sufficiency. If you are on the road every day, charging the batteries via the alternator is usually sufficient. However, if you are on longer trips and have extended periods of camping somewhere without driving, you will need an...
The Jackery is fine for a day or two. Base camp for anything longer and your wanting solar. I run 100 watts on my cruiser and 400 on my trailer with a 200 watt folding as a backup if I'm camped in the forest.
On my old trailer, my 150 watt put back whatever my fridge used over night and still...
...fluid changed at last oil change. When stopping for the night the camper is equipped with 130L 2-way refrigerator, 270-degree awning, 160w solar panel on roof, dual 6v batteries, 2 propane tanks, king size bed, forced air furnace with thermostat, power roof vent, outside shower with 6 gallon...
Just picked up a Jackery 1000 Plus and a few of the backup power banks. Primary use is to power a backyard shed that I was unable to hardwire. Secondary use will be for the rig. Next up will be solar panels and maybe a small fridge.
...I was thinking about mounting on the cross rails of my Alucab Canopy Camper and was wondering about if thats a good placement especialy since I have solar panels. Not sure how that would effect all. 2' max height of the Antenna's is most I would want. Need Antenna recomendations etc. Thanks.
I currently drive a 1986 diesel K5 and I love it (pics below for fun). Its an animal off road, and with a fridge and stove slide out and solar its very comfortable to camp out of. It cruises happily at 75 mph with a turbo and overdrive manual trans and gets around 16 MPG.
But its really loud...
Sounds like a solid setup! The Midland 40w GMRS radio and solar generator will be great additions for off-grid trips. Looking forward to seeing your gear updates and pictures when you get the chance!

...onboard is sufficient for a few hours each night. I have 3-100ah lithium batteries with a dc-dc 50 amp charge controller, plus 200 watts of solar. 2 days would be the most time I will be sitting still, so power isn’t my problem….yet…..My truck alternator has proven to recharge the batteries...
...with a small fan and no humidity would have been good. The only down side so far is the power requirement. Daytime, based on the sun position, I have a max of 500 watts of solar. Sadly, I don't think I can run any of these without plugging in. if I did, the unit would need a 110v plug also.
I think a hybrid multi faceted system is the way to go . Here’s an update on what I’m going to use at the moment, I’ve gone for budget friendly brands- this may prove to be a mistake long term- it means I’ve ended up with 3 power stations of varied power- i intend to find a place for all on the...
