Last bits are falling into place The DC to DC arrived-- yeah it is a little guy but then this Camper is on an old GMC with an iddy bidy Alternator. If I ever upgrade the truck I can up grade this unit. I figure with the Solar combined with this while driving down the road I should arrive full...

Once I had measured many times and checked numerous you tubes it was time to fully commit. Out came the AGMs. I can barely lift them. They were of suspect age but did OK for the first year of abuse. The empty battery box, About mid Camper-- I had to cut an access hole so I could run wires.. 6...

After much fussing and research I jumped in to upgrading the new to us Camper.. Reasons: It seems to be a power hog, plus maybe the batteries are old and tired My dear wife will follow me around in the house turning lights off but insists on leaving every thing on in the Camper, sure doesn't...

In my younger years I built an MGB Race car for our local Hill climb-- Tube frame and skinned it with old B parts Had lots of success and fun. But retired from that now 4.6 Rover with lots of fancy bits

Then came the wiring. Mine is an Arctic Fox 996 Two slides. After tracing wires from one end to the other and much poking I realized I needed multiple connections ( Buss Bars )and needed to run a larger DC wire from the fuse box to the battery box then use the existing wires ( the generator...

Now for the fun stuff. A bunch of Victron stuff started showing up. I had ordered through my sister, who has been in the off grid solar business for 30 plus years now.. I thought I was getting the newest Inverter but got a Compact instead. Bigger by a smidge but I had measured for the 11. But...

This is Canada-- Cerbo GX on sale. 373.00 Touch screen GX 50 298.00 Plus cables and taxes. :-0

Yeah, I thought about that a lot. Each side is in series. My thinking is at least two panels should be in full sun. Either way I have 4 times as much as I had before, or maybe two times if I have a lot of shade. :-) I had to be careful as I only had 10gauge wires going into the camper which I...

I may add a Cerbo at some point. Got to play with one the other day as I was helping some one else with their system. Regrets now but there is a limit and it would have added 800 bucks to my cost. I spent enough for now. :-) I expect shading, not much I can do except live with it. We camp a lot...

OK, Still learning. My thoughts on the Smart Dongle was that I can run the temp sensor into it which then I should be able to set a limit to stop Charging from both my solar or the Multiplus a few degrees above the cut off of 0c of the SOK Batteries BMS. I have the Marine ones which don't have...

Thank you, about two months worth, between that and the garden work. Plus not much skin left in a few spots on the hands LOL

I'm with you. If nothing else the cost is worth it just to get in and clean up the RV wiring a tad. LOL
