    Aux battery

    Here is a chart to common car battery sizes. As you can see 24, 34, 35 should fit and there are AGMs within those sizes. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/r/advice/car-maintenance/battery-size-chart But like others mentioned AGM will never give you the full rated capacity. You should try to...

    Redarc BCDC Sizing

    Hi, Welcome to Overland Bound. Your 3 batteries are going to provide 150Ah 12V which is more than enough for your needs (as you described). And I agree that you won't really benefit from solar given your use case. Regarding the BCDC range. The 25A is usually recommended for up to 100Ah of...

    Goal Zero as second battery

    So the 100W solar panel (if that is the nominal rating) will probably yield 50W in direct sunlight at ideal conditions. When you consider that you won't have ideal solar conditions 24h a day, in a scenario where you are parked and have the fridge running on the Yeti and solar panels deployed you...

    RoadShower vs WaterPort ??

    RoadShower vs WaterPort ??

    Yes, I did call them to see if this cracking thing is a common issue or not and they said they have seen it happen before but not very common. They said they can replace it for me. I bought mine from Costco so I contacted Costco and they are sending me a replacement tank. So we'll see how the...

    RoadShower vs WaterPort ??

    The water warms up with the sun so it will only be slightly warmer then ambient temperature on a sunny day. I bought the Costco deal and I need to install it now. The included hardware is not sufficient to mount it on my OEM Nissan Xterra roof rack but I think I can make it work with longer...

    RoadShower vs WaterPort ??

    Has anyone here ever mounted the WaterPort on a Nissan Xterra roof rack? I am thinking of ordering one for my 2005 (2nd generation) Xterra and just wanted to research mounting options.
