I've got a 2000 F250 diesel shortbed with a FWC camper. The camper sticks out about 12" beyond the bed of the truck, just enough that I can't use a rear motorcycle hitch carrier/mototote without some sort of extension. The extension adds wobble and r...
I've got a 6 year old harbor freight 45w solar setup. I've also got a 80w solar panel. The 80w panel is on the roof of my Four Wheel pop up truck camper, with a charge controller. This keeps my single deep cell battery in the camper fully charged and...
I've got a Surepower 1314a battery separator. I had a 1314 and they sent me a 1314a as a replacement after a recall. I've got this in my slide in truck camper. I've got 2 batteries in the truck (F250 diesel) and one in the camper. The truck and campe...
I've had my Fifth Wheel for a few years, but usually had it boondocked and would just empty the tanks a couple times a year when i moved it. Now I've got it at a friends house with a septic hookup about 30' away. I don't want to do a permanent hookup...
I have a 5th wheel in Tahoe that is plugged into to 110 in the winter, and boondocked with solar panels in the summer. It's got 2 6v Trojan batteries that are 5-6 years old with poor maintenance. I've also got a camper on my diesel pickup with an AGM...
Thanks for all the great input! I'll try the Reese 18" extension on the back and see how it works and if I can open my camper door with the bike on the mototote. I see many have put a motorcycle on the front of their truck with no problems, but it st...
Hey Bob, I stumbled across this very old post and was curious how the Tough Mudder went 5 years ago, and more curious if this event got you in shape and motivated you to stay in shape.
I was a little concerned about the solar without a controller. Tom M - thanks for the link to the $120 flexi panel - that is very cool and very tempting! I could just glue it directly to the roof. Anybody have experience with a cheap controller that ...
Thaks SMKettner, any idea how I tell if the panel has a blocking diode? I assume without a blocking diode, the panel will drain the battery when there is no sunlight. From what I've read, the HF controllers have a problem - they aren't supposed to al...
Thanks everyone. I found this at camping world, which has the male and female bayonet fittings, so I can use this to hook to my rv, and then connect the one I already have to the other end. I just hope it's long enough. http://www.campingworld.com/sh...
