A spring project I have in mind is to upgrade the OEM power wire between the battery and converter to a larger gauge. I think it is currently 8 gauge and I want to upgrade to 4 gauge. The OEM setup is a long positive wire from 12V panel in the camp...
My solar charge controller has a diversion load feature where excess current can be diverted to a load once batteries are full. The manual discusses using a water heater element and this sounds like a clever way to do something with excess solar har...
I recently did some battery wiring maintenance on my TT and it occurred to me that I don't see where the emergency trailer brake gets its power. I mean the emergency pin that gets pulled out should you have a trailer separate from the tow vehicle tha...
Hello,My batteries are on the tongue of my TT and my inverter and solar controller are in the front pass through storage. Both are wired individually to the batteries with large gauge wiring. My 10-year old janky wiring needs maintenance/replacemen...
Hello. I am a long time TT owner but have been brainstorming about what I might like to do in the future. We 100% boondock off grid in dispersed spots and I like the idea of how much more we would have access to if I wasn't towing the camper but ca...
I'm not completely clear on which of your batteries you are going to use to run the inverter, but in either case you would want the converter disabled so you are not trying to charge a battery with a battery. You will get the convenience of all the c...
I used to do it just like this, it works fine...but it is critical that you disable the onboard converter when doing so. Otherwise the converter gets energized by the 120V AC from the inverter and it tries to do its job of providing 12V DC charging. ...
I'm not a WDH guru, but it seems like front has not become unweighted which is good. Having front wheel wells returned to original distance is the desired outcome. Is vehicle level with WDH applied? Trailer level or slightly nose-down is OK. What abo...
The solar capacity is not much and agreed it is aimed at storage. But it provides amps any time the sun is shining on the panel. This is useful, not trash.
This is a good recommendation about detaching the battery in between uses. But you also have a 100 watt solar panel which can accomplish the same task without the hassle of removing the battery and putting a separate charger on it. This is assuming ...
