The above install is in an ATC Bobcat - which does not have an abundance of interior space. One other point - my install uses #6 gauge wires from the battery to the bus bars - in theory a 700 watt DC to AC inverter could be installed, if the wires to the bus bars were kept to about a couple of...

I did a Renogy dual input 30A controller to a 100 Ah LiFePO4 install in September - with no provision for an AC inverter. My build reflects my preferences to keep all my components in one location. The solar panel is rated at 175 watts. * Note the addition of a couple of circuit breakers to...

The circuit breakers are a way for me to shut off and isolate two components in the camper's electrical system, if I desire without pulling fuses. * The circuit breaker on left is to isolate the main positive cable to the house battery and if there should happen to be a short circuit, it will...

I have a 30A Renogy dual input charger with MPPT mounted into an ATC Bobcat. The install was not a simple as plug and play, mainly due to where one wishes to package the ancillary circuit breakers and fuses. The battery box for the LiFePO4 battery is missing from the image below. Note also...

Taking a good look at your first image - I see that there is no house battery in the camper. One solution for now is to install, along with an automatic charging relay, an AGM house battery somewhere within the camper located between the 30 amp fuse and the camper's fuse panel. The problem...

I think there will be some instances where each of us have trips planned at the same time. In those cases, he gets the camper) and I get the cooler/battery. Not the answer, you're looking for - but with a lithium power station, in my case a Bluetti EB70 I can easily place my 12 volt fridge...

There are more images of this 2018 Fleet on facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/617560256689530/

That was my reasoning upon purchasing the dual input DC-DC with MPPT - but the install ate up way more real estate than intended. The image shows the install two weeks ago. I may attempt to update the image to show where the 100 AH battery is stowed and the extended shelf mounted to the cargo...

I'm in the process of installing this controller in a 2007 Bobcat and have yet to install the added battery monitor. So, I wish that I could be of more help. In case you were going to suggest it, the “user” defined custom settings have the same effect even when I set them to stop “boosting”...

That extension is a good place to put my size 12 foot when climbing into or out of the bunk in the overhang. Plus you've gained a little storage.

I was actually looking for something similar to use in a chest fridge.

#1 concern for me is that the LiFePO4 have a decent BMS with a cold weather shut off to prevent charging when the temp is below 32°F. So, don't go too inexpensive. SOK's 100 Ah battery received a pretty good thumbs up from Will Proust -...

The above link didn't seem to work. https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Valterra/A10-2606.html

For winter storage, LiFePO4 batteries have a low self-discharge rate of 2% per month. Install an isolation switch that cuts off the battery from everything else in the universe and you may not need a maintain provided that camper battery is at 50% or more when in storage.

It's a unique build. I like it even without the outer storm flaps and passenger side window. It does have a furnace, if you look at the image of the low mounted galley. If one desired and kept the flame low enough, he or she would be able make a cup of coffee without raising the top. The...

Drifting back to a mid-sized Tacoma - in the past 5 years, as opposed to a self contained slide-in pop up, a plethora of pop up canopy shells have entered the market that weigh in at less than 500 lbs. Granted that's a dry weight, with no accoutrements or gear. The FWC Project M is one example.

A 12 volt DC chest style fridge is a far better approach than the usual offerings from the American RV industry. Stick an insulated pad on top of the JP40 and you'll find that the bottom side of the pad is cool to the touch each time you remove it to raid the fridge.

Good to know - thanks -

Not mine: From Craigslist, a well optioned 2006 FWC Hawk in Bellingham, WA - $15,000 https://bellingham.craigslist.org/rvs/d/bellingham-four-wheel-camper-hawk-loaded/7529300728.html Check out the bicycle mounts modification to the rear - subtle, but worth a look...

Capital idea with regards to the added insulation. It should help when it's 100° F outside and inside the camper.

I've been silent on this topic, but in my case a wonderful base model 2015 Tacoma Access Cab 4x4 equipped with a 2.7 liter four and 5 speed manual was not enough truck in my opinion to pull an ATC Bobcat up serious inclines at highway speeds. The suspension of the Tacoma which had an...

Powerpole connectors are nice, because they don't tend to wiggle out of position. That said, my advise is to punt with regards to the piezo electric cooler. Over the summer, I was able to purchase an in between sized 30 quart F40C4TMP brand DC compressor fridge for $239 shipped during an Amazon...

In addition to the aforementioned Blue Sea combos - the Marinco Sealink plug and receptacle combo also utilizes a twist lock feature...

The original post for the Hawk states Santa Fe, NM.

First one that I've seen. There's a youtube "unboxing video" regarding the fridge.
