    Solar power wiring...

    Yeah, I'm going back and forth. As soon as I think I make up my mind...things change! I keep going back and forth, but I decided to go with the Honda EU2000i. There's one for sale on Craigslist for $800 in the box. I can get the batteries back in very short order. Solar is nice, but it's very...

    Solar power wiring...

    Just a quick question for the all the electrical engineers. I'm really debating solar or generator (Honda EU1000) to charge my batteries wired in parallel. I had visions of grandeur and some "appropriated" ideas on how to hang solar on my trailer. It was all for naught due to tight clearance...

    Brother...you get what I'm asking about. If I'm buying for my rig, I'm going large. I'm looking for my trailer. I'll only be power a fridge and some limited LED lights and water pump.

    Yeah...thought about the 4 golf cart batteries. The only thing would be the extra wiring to get them in parallel. Still looking at this option though.

    The "three weeks" is real use in the field. Currently live in Texas, but we're looking at homes in Colorado. Not to offend native Texans, which I'm one, but 5+ mos. out of the year tent camping is unbearable. So with limited opportunities to drive 10 hrs to the nearest mountains and trails...

    Working all the new components and associated wiring in my trailer...water pump, led lights and light strips, battery charger, power inverter, solar, etc.. It's getting time to invest in my battery bank. I'm not a YouTube star or professional Overlander, so my stuff is not donated free of...

    Wrenching on their own rigs?

    All me...find I understand my vehicle better. But then again, the vehicle is becoming less and less stock as the weeks go by so warranty work is becoming non-existent two years and 28K miles later.
