badtoytrd Enjoy your trip and put me down for a pair please Thanks Jeff

Im In...lets go !

I currently have 2 12volt batteries in my Hawk and am considering dual 6 volt for better amp hours and deeper discharge. Who has 'em and which ones do you have ? thanks in advance !

Just gave back site sm089 . Can't make it this year . hope someone can jump on the site and have a great time !

Chased a used Hawk for a year until the week before placing my order for a new one , I scored mine. The common scenario was the ad's only been up for 4 hours and there are 5 people in line and the guy in the 1st spot is driving from 1000 miles away with cash in hand. Persistence and patience...

Good news :) Thanks

Question for you guys that use your furnace, I've never really felt comfortable running it because I just don't know the safe way to operate it. I've searched the web and mostly come up with "trouble shooting" info. Power draw and noise notwithstanding. Is it safe to run the atwood furnace...

Fuzzy I like the stealth of that, very cool

I have a Hawk camper that I purchased used so my decisions were made already by the original owner. I have rear flood lights (i've upgraded them to LED) I rarely use them and could probably get by w/o them. (ask if the camper gets pre-wired in the event you'd like to add them yourself later)...

Thanks for explaining this...even I understand :)

Holy cow....booookmaaarrkkkk ! thanks

How is it that the Truck and the solar can charge the batteries at the same time ? As I drive the panel will be getting sun and the alternator will be supplying juice also. Does the charge controller and the Iota just see when the batteries are full and then just stop supplying power ...

Thanks Mark, Ive got the wire length and hardware to do # 3 right now and was advised 4 was the best way so I'll get the parts for that next.

I added an additional battery and have some confusion as to how to apply the solar charging leads and how to apply the load leads for the camper. Parallel connection positive to positive / negative to negative I got that part ! :) But which way to connect the rest ? I am currently connected...

thanks guys :D

I used split loom to protect the wires as they passed into the camper I used silicon to provide additional protecting on the compression fittings to the cable gland I used 30 amp inline fuses on the solar leads into the controller I used Renogy Z brackets to mount the panel to the rails I was...

So, here is the final product Drilled a hole from the interior of the camper for solar panel leads to pass thru Used Eternabond tape to secure the "cable gland" to the roof Cable Gland Dicor self leveling sealant applied 160W Grape solar panel mounted to the Yakima rails Solar...

Cut the hole...wow what a stress filled little task that was ! :) wiring to follow

That is one slick set up !

Question for those of you who have solar controllers . The shortest distance from the controller to the battery is recommended . If using an AGM battery is there a safety concern mounting a controller in the same compartment as the battery. There are no relays just a circuit board ...

One red and one black wire , the other end was coiled up in the cabinet that holds the water tank ( side dinette layout) . My camper came with an external solar plug and that was also coiled in the water tank cabinet Sent from my LG-H810 using Wander The West mobile app

I've done some searching and didn't find much on how you guys handled the wire run thru the roof . I bought this one but now a little concerned about making the 90° turn into the interior of the camper . Chafing the cable over time even if protected is my primary concern. What do you end...

I've seen others mount them on the cabinet where the battery is ( side dinette forward dining seat about calf high ) that might be a better option Sent from my LG-H810 using Wander The West mobile app
