I’m short I guess what I’m looking for is what a “normal” lithium charge profile should look like so I can find a suitable work around. Do most people bulk charge to their desired voltage and call it good? No “boost” no “float”? SOK has recommended settings for charging with a Renogy controller...

https://www.renogy.c...0D1S-Manual.pdf Here’s a link to the manual. I have tried both using the factory lithium setting (yes indicated by a blue light on the unit) as well as trying to use my own settings via Bluetooth and the app. I see that on the factory lithium setting it has boost set to...

I tried asking this question in another thread but I think I got a little too wordy and probably confused the issue so I didn’t get any replies. I’m going to try again and hopefully be a little more succinct I’m using a Renogy 30 amp DC-DC/MPPT charge controller to charge my SOK 206 AH...

I have a 206Ah SOK Lifepo4 paired with a Renogy 30 Amp DC-DC/MPPT solar charger combo. I’m happy with the set up except that the Renogy app for the controller isn’t working well. I’m using the following user defined settings (recommended by the battery distributor Current Connected) for my...

Thanks for chiming in Vic! I was hoping you would, I always seek out your threads and comments, they have been so helpful on my journey to understand electricity! Renogy has a 30A, 40A and 60A model. I was thinking about getting the 40A for slightly faster charging. The SOK battery I'm looking...

What are your thoughts on using a gravity water filter like this one to keep your water system topped off on extended stays? https://www.platy.com/filtration/gravityworks-water-filter-system-6.0l4.0l/gravityworks.html I"m pretty well set up to boondock for extended periods of time (weeks in...

Hello all! I've been lurking here for months trying to absorb everything I can regarding electrical/solar information. I'm so grateful for all the threads and have elevated my knowledge from a 0 to maybe a 2... and hope to continue learning. A bit of history on my current setup. I have a 2018...

Thanks for the reply! From my limited research I’ve read that lithium has about 2x the capacity per AH due to the fact that you can discharge the batteries further without damaging them. If that’s the case then your 200AH of lithium is slightly more capable than my 380AH of AGM. If you can get...

It's a cheap 200w inverter, another reason I suspect the original owner had some aftermarket work done on the electrical system.

Hi all! My wife and I just bought an '18 FWC Hawk and we are stoked to get it out this summer! I'm a fairly handy guy with a background in the trades so I've been able to figure out most of the systems, make some minor repairs, wire the camper to the truck for running lights and charging, and...

I don’t doubt better hauling mileage and performance with the 5.0. But as a part-timer with my camper (maybe 3-4 weeks total during the year) who will be primarily be driving my truck as a daily driver with no load, I’m attracted to the better mileage of the 2.7. I know the 5.0 is very efficient...

I sure did. The heater is spotless and in excellent condition.

Hello all, I’ve been researching here and on the interwebz for the last hour but can’t seem to find the proper answer. The water heater on my 2018 Hawk stopped working (inexplicably… after working one day, sitting for a week and not moving.) I get propane but no spark, I can light manually with...

Thanks for the input! I really value all opinions on the matter. I agree that from a bombproof engine standpoint the Toyotas of the last decade win hands down. However looking at those MPG numbers for the Tundra they're only 1 MPG or so off a 3/4 ton F250. Right or wrong I think Toyota has...

Hello all! I am the proud new owner of a 2108 hawk that my wife and I just picked up last week. To say we are excited is an understatement! This is the culmination of 2 years of research/dreaming and six months of diligent searching for the right used FWC to meet our needs and budget. It is...
