This thread is just for reference for those looking to use excess alternator capacity to charge a battery. Other cars should have similar loads to this Tacoma for lights, airco, radio, etc.

A recent thread got close to this, but I didn't want to derail it. Folks with interesting comments on this were

I have a small truck topper "popup canopy camper" made by Tune, similar to an Alu-Cab or GoFast Camper but whole top pops up, so not much insulation...
What do you folks think about the flat roof, with solar on it, vs just using portable? I see this, but haven't decided yet:
1. Solar on roof, pros-- always there ready to produce. More theft resistant. Cons-- have to park in sun, shaded camp spots likely give little power. Flat roof on ovrlnd...
Hi, I diligently searched but can't find info on this. All the mobile systems show using a Blue Sea dc fuse block for dc distribution. Small loads like LED lights, fan, etc. But I also see him list a dc circuit breaker and switch panel in parts lists. Wondering if there is some reason not to...
Victron only has 12v to 24v.
For running a powerstation in a truck bed, there is no need for a full dcdc smart charger, as the powerstation already has its own "smart input" in all cases. Rather, all that is needed is a 12v to ??? Converter, where the ??? Matches the powerstation dc input...
I have a Pecron e1500LFP power station, that I was going to use in the bed of my 2021 Toyota Tacoma as my popup camper power solution.
Tacoma has an inverter that powers a truck bed 120vac 400w plug. It works, have tested with work tools and multimeter. Instead of running a 30A dc to dc...
Looking to get clarification on what wire to use for 12v loads, <= 10 Amps, in a popup truck camper. Can I use copper clad aluminum (it's almost all I can find). Trying to fit 3 or 4 circuit runs along camper walls, so smaller is better where able. In past I didn't worry much, but having read...
I've read the first 100 threads that came up using search, can't find answer really. Has the "answer" for the best small airco sufficient for a 330 cubic ft truckbed canopy camper been found yet?
I see a ton of threads for mini splits on small RV, but a pickup truck bed canopy camper is...
Thought this was best place to ask about issues on burning out a power station input. Moved it here.
I want to use a 12v 100Ah LiFePO4 battery to feed my power station, thus increasing its capacity a bit.
I have a Pecron e1500LFP, it has a 32-95v 700W input for mppt solar charge controller...
