Time2roll, very classy job!
Just curious how you plan to operate it while camping when it gets cold at night in some scenarios. I know you are a minimalist for monitoring stuff.
How do you operate the heat pads side of it all? How do they get their power? More than one way?
Do you figure on a slow charge if under 5C and then you can crank up the charging rate? Or just wait till at 5C?
How do you know the batt temp so you know what charging rate to use?
If starting from cold, how long to warm up the batts enough with those heat pads? Will the little propane generator run that long so solar can then charge them, or is that not in any camping scenario where you go, so it doesn't matter?
Very nice job, and it looks like you can move it to your next rig when that time comes too, so that's clever.
