...with a PowerStation rather than just a battery. It has the output voltage boosted to 42V to allow rapid charging of PowerStation through the solar input ports. This sort of alternator charger is becoming common this year, and virtually allows overlanders to forego all solar panels, if they...

...the rig is, with basically just having an open storage space that can adapt to what I'm doing on each trip. Coming soon: - Adding power and solar - Permanent mounted lighting - Adding a tabletop on a slide. - Swapping the truck axle to a trailer axle. Distant future plans: - Adding a small...

...source). It's got 2 12v outlets, 2 USB outlets one of which has a voltmeter, and then it has an XT60 socket for charging my EcoFlow via the solar charging input. works like a charm. I mounted it to an empty spot on my seat delete and it doesnt interfere with anyone sitting in the back...

Anyone interested in evaluating this diagram as I am second guessing a few things and just need to know if you see anything wrong. After thinking that I had this licked, I watched a video about battery efficiency, hung my head and went back to the drawing board. The specifics I am curious...

The solar cabinet is starting to take shape. Tomorrow's goal is to finish the remaining connections and wrap the exterior. Hopefully I will install this cabinet soon so I can begin the pull out kitchen!

...will need: --No recharge, battery must cover all days of trip. --Alternator recharge, ~500W times hours of driving, so 1500Wh in 3hrs --Solar, you need 2-3days power to account for poor solar days, more if in cloudy areas. Expect 5hrs max per day, 10-30% rated Watts if flat, 40-80%...

I run a Ram Megacab Long Bed. It’s not too heavy or wide or long, you just need to know where you should and shouldn’t go. Maybe push the limits on occasion if you have friends in other rigs to help. You are likely much more comfortable at camp compared to most Jeep setups so it is just a...

After finishing the diesel heater/water side cabinet, I started to wire the solar cabinet. Well that didn’t get far as a friend asked if I would help him with a boat repair in Blue Ridge GA!! I never pass an opportunity to go to the mountains!!! 4 day road trip and today we walked Amicalola...

...and water side cabinet is finished!! Whew... with all the other projects going on, it seemed like this would never be final....The fuel pump is finished but I forgot to take an updated picture. FYI: The kitchen slide cabinet will be mounted next to this cabinet. The solar side is standalone...

Something of note: The water coffin and solar cabinet have a dual function. I currently live in FL. Hurricane and Rainy season is tough. I filled the water tank before the last hurricane as a back up to the well. The solar will be able to assist with house appliances if the generators fail!! I...

Solar side mock up. This side was a huge learning curve. I have never messed with solar and was able to figure it out by those that came before me. I watched so many videos and read so much that it was tough. But I came up with a plan, was able to get Dan's opinion on things like wire size and...

...use my truck as a truck. So all cabinet pieces need to be able to be removed with little effort. I wrestled with the concepts of fuel, water, solar, kitchen, fridge and storage. I started at the front of the truck bed and worked my way to the rear. Keeping in mind that I needed a platform to...

The only way I'd ever even consider an EV is if they make with solar skin... so it'll charge itself sitting in the parking lot at work. Why do we have "green" vehicles that aren't taking advantage of "green" energy?

...hitting the Rockies in the summer. Lets see if I can capture where I am mechanically. Next post will be the build of the truck camper cabinets, solar, water tank and diesel heater!! Whew... that's enough for now! if your interested in my other projects, head over to this link and scroll...

Made a video, should help folks figure solar needs. Winter vs. Summer Solar, Camping/Overlanding. Calculations & Tests, North/South Borders. Video works, won't play embedded here, click "watch on Youtube " to see video. Additional info in video description. How much solar power when...

Some folks have been asking to see some pictures of the Garmin tablet / control center. It’s pretty slick! Everything is controlled from here: solar, heat, suspension, lighting, water, music - YK you name it!

...I'll need to figure out what to do with other one. I also managed to get the new battery in, and hooked up. I'm likely going to move the solar charger to be above the DC-DC, but we'll see. I currently have to take it out to take the battery out, which is required to access the components on...
