May I beg you to twiddle the dials, press the pedal to the metal and find out precisely what the Boondocker can do for a living?
With the booster: Find that magic point voltage wise between the Boondocker and DROK (The voltage Delta T) where the Drok no longer hates incoming voltage and refuses to boost. The DROK is fused for 20-amps (the 600 watt model) but in reality I would limit the DROK to say fifteen by means of an auto reset circuit breaker. At high loads the DROK demands a fan beneath the heatsink. Try and find a lot wattage 18 volt 60mm ball bearing fan and set the DROK atop it. Blowing upwards.
I love that DROK with the adjustable current limit pot. BTW it's the outboard of the two pots. The closer you can set the incoming voltage to without violating the (It's too close!) rule, the less boost means less heat.
If you feel like bothering, you can provide a wealth of details about the Boondocker. After reading what the Boondocker manufacturer had to say on this forum I am convinced they will never offer an adjustable timer for voltage absorbsion time limits, too bad. They almost got it right. The man needs to go camping somewhere where gasoline costs five dollars a gallon and a 50 mile round trip to go get it. Rude rude rude learning curve about generator run time and fuel and generator wearing-out. Maybe he delineates boondocking from off-grid. A month of boondocking changes things to off-grid status. I need to win a lottery that I never buy tickets for, so I can truthfully say "I have people that do that for me". Criminy I'd squander winnings on buying food for hungry people anyway. Sigh.
