Ugh that sucks sorry to hear that.

Sorry I missed the other one, no problem at all with the doggo assuming it’s not a chihuahua or something. It’s like 3-5 inches from window to window. And no issues at all with the panels!

It’s about an inch and a half and I just used a step up drill bit to get through it. And grommet? That’s to nice for me, I painted it to prevent rush and wrapped it with electrical tape :)

found a tape measure! It’s 41 inches also I’d look into their hide away table for in that space I have it and really like it

no it’s got all of that built in. And yeah I mean the overlander is a bit overkill when compared to On-x or Gia or something but I like not having to download anything and then being able to just randomly look for dispersed campsites while out on the trail has saved us more than a few times...

Love it. It is not insulated though, I have only slept in the back once and it was fine but the low was only like 45. One thing to keep in mind is there is no way that I know of to lock them from the inside or open them so you have to rig something up to keep the door closed. I just use a...

Yeah for sure more support is better. That recovery gear gets heavy though which is why I meantioned it. Also you shouldcheck out icky concepts molle panels too. Really good stuff I may add them to the sides but I have them in the bulkhead and keep the portable compressor and my jack all...

Sounds like a plan the half bins are awesome. I have a full bin on the other side and that’s where I put the recovery gear. There is a weight limit of 55lbs on the full bins I’m not sure what the half bins are but gotta keep that in mind. Maybe under the backseat for the recovery gear?

I have been thinking about this project and trying to plan it for a year and then waiting on parts and the time to finish for months! But I have done it. Dual battery setup on the 2020 Ram Power Wagon complete and ran it to a box with the bluetooth Garmin PowerSwitch to control from my phone or...

Ok! All done team and it all is working with nothing on fire at all so I call that a win! Optima Yellowtop DH7 for the battery and the NHOverland Battery Mount the mount was key to this whole thing to my knowledge there are no other options to do this for the Gas Ram 2500s 2019+. That is...

Ack sorry this took so long to respond to I totally missed it. It's right around 31.5" I have a molle panel on there so that's why it's not exact.

Super helpful thank you! I have all the pieces and parts except for the wire loom that will hold that cable size so gotta order that and the ties. Now just waiting for the mount to hold the second battery and we can get this thing rolling. Focused on wiring up my panel right now so I can...

Ok well I appreciate the input and the discussion here. Thanks a ton for weighing in, I think I have enough to piece together this system and not blow myself up :)

You didn't miss it cause I didn't say and am still researching that part. I was thinking going with AGM Optima yellow top which would be different than the flooded OEM battery in there. So they will be different types but I also want to add solar charging in there as well so that's how I got...

Ok awesome. Now if the car is shut off and I am drawing 200 amps MAX would that effect the BCDC in any way assuming I have the fuses in place in front of the BCDC which would be a 40amp fuse? Like that wouldn't blow the fuse or somehow go back up into the BCDC wire would it?

Ok I love that analogy and I think we're saying the same thing I am just doing a bad job of articulating it. Say you have a pool of water and a very think pipe coming out and you only turn the thick pipe on once a week for 30 min but you leave the garden hose going all week and it shuts off...

That's extremely helpful on the redARC thank you! I will absolutely fuse the RedArc and the main cable to the back right there at the battery. One thing that still throws me though and I am possibly not understanding the RedArc in this equation is that you seem to be implying that the redarc...

That does help and I appreciate the advice and I’m learning a ton here so thank you. Just to further my understanding if I have a PowerSwitch and a fuse block that can support 100amps both why wouldn’t I engineer the system to support that much through the main wire? Is it just to save costs...

It is Redarc BCDC1240D It will be an AGM battery and the mount I am getting will hold a size 47. Please take whatever I say next as ignorance and I am not trying to disagree I just don't know. Isn't the max draw on the battery (in this case 200amps peak) different from the charge power. of...

yeah it’s going to be a second battery charged by a redarc bcdc charger so a combo of alternator when the car is running and solar power when running and off. But it isn’t like I’ll have 200amps going all the time but I don’t want to have to do the mental math every time I turn something on to...
