power

Folks, I have a brand new, 2020 Hawk Shell (yay) with furnace and a single battery. We got the shell because we wanted to have the furniture and galley just they way we like it, even though FWC does a great job. However, the Shell doesn't come with a shore power option, so I've got a new DLS30...

More thoughts on add solar. First things are working good without solar. I can spend 3 nights using the lights and heater and the battery drops to around 11.8v. More then 3 days and I need to idle the truck for an hr or two. For summer I park the camper with the fridge on low propane...

I am reasearching options for adding solar to my Ocelot next year. I had the Ocelot pre-wired so I won’t have to tare into it to add solar. I’m looking at the following: HQ 100 Watts 12 Volts Monocrystalline Semi-Flexible Solar Panel $190 CTEK D250S DUAL $190 Bayite DC Digital Current...

Hello, My wife and I moved into our FWC just over two weeks ago now. So far mostly good. Couple things wondering about. First, ran into 4 days of not great weather and in the woods so we didn't get any solar power. We have a 140 watt panel, super basic controller, and 12v house battery with...
