this why people do the complicated and expensive installations with DC to DC chargers and so on. like 99 % of this powerstations on the market can't even charge at maximum output of 12v cigarette plug , 10 amps. If they could accept 10 amps.. it would be great and enough for...

It can be the mother of trucks, is still not true. I am sorry but I kind of doubt that this load is on 1 wire and you have all that stuff like a daisy chain on the same circuit If it is.. I wish you good luck . At 12v you will need a wire thick as your leg.. When you power your winch it...

Not sure from where you get this 200 amps thing. There is nothing that can draw 200 amps in a a normal car. that is a short. If that particular circuit is not fused, you catch fire, melt things, bad things happen . There are very few things that can draw even 40 or 60 on a...

Have you seen how big that thing packs ? Might as well get an RTT straight up..

Actually that guy is a chef if I am not mistaken, and that prepacked things are made by him. I watch the Grizzly & Bear youtube channel and during their travels trough South Korea they hooked up at some point on some kind Land rover meet up.. I might be wrong tough but it looked like...

They don't have any for couples.. this is why.

Backpackers or bikers moving to vehicles tend to be like that guy. When you hump everything on your back or you are used with the limited space on bike you tend to pack small light things.. :) I met a couple from Austria overlanding weeks in a row in a Citroen 2 Cv that was not even...

Kind of like that. . Curent works like this.. Voltage is the water pressure . That will not change a lot. It will be around 13.2 - 14.4 V for smart alternators,( no matter the output, a small 80 amp like in your average SUV or some uprated monster for a 6.8l Diesel Cummins at 150...

you can have 1000 amps ready to go at the main bat , the red arc will only use 40 of them maximum, and only for short periods it can stay at 40, 10 min usually. It will never draw 200 amps unless there is a short somewhere, and that is why you have fuses. This is what it means...

the fuse needs to be as close to the amps of the BC DC to protect it. You want the fuse to blow as fast as possible, before damage and fires occur. . At 100 amps the redarc, which is pretty expensive will be long gone . You will need to wire in 2 fuses actually, one imediatly after...

I was just trying to understand your goal so I can advise you. Nobody is born with knowledge, I know some stuff about this because I did it on 3 vehicles.. the peak draw for the BCDC1240D is 40 amps. Not matter what you wish for, it is physics. Even at 40 amps, if it stays there more...

What red arc do you have ? The exact model. So if you have the Redarc 1240, the biggest one they have on offer, it will draw max 40 amps. In the manual you have from it, also available online, they will give you the specs with a little headroom of course. . In case of the 1240 they...

Who is going to supply those 200 amps ? Just curious. You plan to install a second alternator ? most DC-to DC converters rarely go over 40 -50 amp and only for short periods. with a 40 amp DC to DC you can charge easy 200 amp of lifepo4.. So you get 40 amps to back , get a DC to DC...

You use some rubber gromets that you grease a bit as well. You find all kind of assortments on amazon. If you need to install some kind of plug outside the the vehicle, or someplace exposed to rain, dust etc., best is to use a deutch plug, much better than anderson plugs when the...

There is a guy who toured Africa in a Cayenne, the diesel one, he was very happy with it.. Looks like it makes for a good rig. Have fun :)

Not really. Took a pretty long trip, almost 30 days. Went remote every chance I got. For 2 days I went to a big campsite on the coast of Croatia (it was huge, hundreds of places), for the kid, to enjoy the sea a bit ( he likes to swim a lot ). While he enjoyed it , I could not wait...

So, after I took the the disco 5 for a spin, I am ordering a Disco. What convinced me - the trunk space, and the lower overall height of the vehicle, that makes it more manageable. Defender does have many things in his favor, but I think they sacrificed to much of the trunk for the...

I studied the routes there a lot. The only viable rout right now that I know of since the ferry from Alexandria is done , is via Iran, which is a a very beautiful country and a lot to explore there , plus it gives you access to Armenia and Georgia, both worth a lot of time exploring if...

this is something to consider, if you have to put it up and remove it from the car often, If the car is very high, with no pulley system in garage, for a hardshell will take about 3 fit adults to set it up.

Depends what you have, you have both solid axels or independent suspension ? On solid axles you can get away with a lower ground clearence.
