I bought the ones from the person on this site that sells them. No way in hell would I stack them.

I bought the 10 ton Torin and the ARB jack base. Not quite enough lift to get the truck high enough to put a fully inflated tire on. Fortuantely, I was at a place I could put a 4x8 under the jack. I will be adding a 2x8 piece to my spare tire area. I have a Gen 2 with 22" wheels.

I have a Shelly Uni that I monitor my battery on my Gen 2 and it's completely different from that. I rarely get below 12.9V.

Another problem with flexible panels is they get HOT since there is no air able to travel under them. When they get hot, their voltage goes down so they almost have to be in series to use with an MPPT solar controller.

2 years old. I could probably put some 250W panels in place of my 200W panels to get me 1000W. I could also fit one where my TV antenna is. Between that and my 560AH of battery, I am fine with what I have. Looks like you have flex panels on your trailer. How long have you had them? In my...

What a clusterf*ck!

To get 3 to 4Kw on a trailer, your trailer would have to be a LOT bigger than anything you would want to tow. I have 800W on a 25' trailer that I tow with an ICE truck and not much I could do to get more solar on it.

what color? You should really post pictures along with your username on a piece of paper.

Will be interesting if you have much luck with those suction cups. I have the same one used to hold a solar panel on my 3/4T pickup and they pretty much let loose after a few days. I plan on replacing them with the ones that have a builtin vacuum pump that you press.

Are these unused 12V wires already fused somewhere?

When this happens to me, I just go around and wipe all the sensors or just wash the entire car and I immediately have my cruise control back.

Agreed This thread is talking about use using your Rivian which is NOT backpacking!

I have used it a couple times. Not quite ready for prime time.

My friend has the Garmin In Reach. I would never use one. Texts MIGHT go through or they might go through in a few hours some times. It's $7.50/month. If all you want tot do is text, you can use a Starlink subscription for $10/10GB and even have left over for actually making phone calls and a...

I use a Starlink Gen3 and bought the Starlink branded 12V converter. I typically camp 1 week at a time so I can survive with the $50 50GB plan and pause the service in-between trips. My billing period is 15th to 15th. Last trip, I unpaused on the 3rd so my cost for the trip was only $21 after...

Yeah...I will probably just do that. I ended up mounting the wires straight to the battery. I 3D printed a little box for the Shelly to go into.

Are you using a Raspberry Pi? I see you have a correction factor. Is that needed if you just use the Shelly app?

Is this in Home Assistant?

The only issue you may have is due to the MPPT solar controller. Typically, an MPPT controller does an occasional power sweep that can put zero impedance at the solar input. That could potentially fry the MPPT input. You should see what the short current spec of the MPPT input is and hopefully...

It's actually metal to metal on the latch side and it would look pretty lame. Takes a few minutes to 3d print the parts so it doesn't look like a hack job.
