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...

A recent thread got close to this, but I didn't want to derail it. Folks with interesting comments on this were @RV8R @HarryN @Tomthumb62 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...

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...

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...

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. 21 Tacoma OffRoad, 130A alternator, 9k miles, running perfect, zero issues battery or alternator. I...

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...

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...
