Ok... Here’s my results from my recent upgrade... Usually had plenty of charging with solar but after a recent stretch of 5 days of non stop rain, the batteries wouldn’t charge enough while driving. Ran some tests... 2014 Tundra 5.7L with factory 130amp alternator As wired from FWC with the...

Ditch the trolling motor connector completely

Easier, safer, and more secure to just make new cables, its fairly easy and everything will fit and look better

Well, for starters, if you go to the Blue Sea website, and read the instructions for wiring the ACR, it literally says right in the instructions it should be wired with 2awg. So theres that. Ill post what i did and my results in a few.

SOLD

Nice, we are getting almost the same charge with the same setup. Sweet

Nice!! What is your wiring from alternator to batteries?

Thanks Old Crow This was a dummy thing on my end, kinda Had everything apart and forgot the FWC wiring is backwards for the Zamp so I connected it wrong. Forgot all about that, switched it around and all is well

I'm a tad confused... What is specific to a "tundra build" hawk? My 2018 is just the standard one. I know earlier tundras had a shorter bed wall, but I thought the 2012s were normal So did you in turn lower the interior height of the camper at the same time? I am contemplating a Ram for my...

I’m going to Geotag your Skottle :)

I know you love your propane fridge, you’ve told me many many times... :) I’ve heard 10x many people dislike than like then though, soooo But what does that have to do with this post? Hehehe :P

I basically collected all the above parts ADVMOTO listed and just brought them to a local sail boat sail repair place and they whipped me up one for under $100

That’s bizarre and sounds like a glitch. Mines worked perfect for about 1.5 years and nothing like that with the app.

I’m asking because for over a year I never had an issue, living in SoCal I’m spoiled and my 275 watts of solar always keeps things tip top. But after a trip north and a week of full clouds and rain, I couldn’t keep the batteries topped off. I ran some tests and did some things but curious what...

That’s pretty slick sir

Hey All Question for the masses that have their FWC's wired to charge from the alternator while driving.. Obviously the #s will vary vehicle to vehicle, but has anyone actually measured how many amps their alternator is putting out to the FWC batteries while they're driving? Example, using...

I have a Victron Smart MPPT 100/30 controller and accidentally touched some wires together while moving it and think I may have shorted it. For those mentioning it has a fuse... where?? Inside? Thanks

I had an ARB on my truck before i got the camper, and the quality was just trash. I wasnt hesitant to get it with the camper, but read enough good things, i tried it anyway. It VERY VERY well made and easy to deploy solo. Highly recommend!

Excellent Info here! I am getting ready to upgrade all of my wiring as well! Thanks

Exactly!! :)

I have a set in San Diego if ya need them

Yeah, I have lots of 2 gauge lying around from previous dual batt installs for friends. Anderson connector is a damn good idea. Thanks

Thanks. Fuses will be added for sure. I’m more looking for a good schematic, of the FWC wiring if anyone happens to have one. 2018 Hawk front dinette. I’m not really sold on those DC to DC things honestly... I use a POWER GATE isolator (not well known, but made here in SD and used...

Hey All I know its been done before, but anyone have any good writeups or links on how to upgrade the 10 gauge wiring from the camper to the plug for the alternator? I have 2 gauge from my truck up to where my FWC plug connects. I'm looking into upgrading the wiring from the isolator in the...

Great Attitude and Glad You're Ok and keeping positive. As a learning experience, i think this solidifies the need to have suspension properly setup for heavy loads.
