    Maybe a foot to the battery to the inverter, On/Off switch, buss bars, and all of that in the mix. No more than 3 feet all together.

    Building a Small System for camping off grid.

    I will be camping for days and do not need to run my truck all day to charge things up. A 2010 tundra uses gas. I will be our in some rough deep woods and mountains. No gas station new by. Prebuilt systems are cute and all but over priced and they do not have compacity.

    Building a Small System for camping off grid.

    $252 vs $93, that is $159 that I can need to spend on the rest. Money is tight man. I understand that the other battery is great, but if this will last me two years then I can upgrade that is great.
