Sounds like a solid setup! The Midland 40w GMRS radio and solar generator will be great additions for off-grid trips. Looking forward to seeing your gear updates and pictures when you get the chance!

...with a small fan and no humidity would have been good. The only down side so far is the power requirement. Daytime, based on the sun position, I have a max of 500 watts of solar. Sadly, I don't think I can run any of these without plugging in. if I did, the unit would need a 110v plug also.

I think a hybrid multi faceted system is the way to go . Here’s an update on what I’m going to use at the moment, I’ve gone for budget friendly brands- this may prove to be a mistake long term- it means I’ve ended up with 3 power stations of varied power- i intend to find a place for all on the...

...overnight. Nothing else. No need for AC whatsoever and no desire to ever need AC power since this is for getting away from everything <grin>. Solar isn't really an option either since I park in heavy shade at home, and 95% of my campsites are in national forests, also in deep shade. I'd also...

...are a slightly darker shade of grey than what is already done, it looks good though and not super noticeable. Had some issues with the prior solar panel on the truck, was getting only about 40% of the rated capacity at max so decided to replace it with CIGS panel. So far they are working...
