    Phev Tow Vehicles

    I'll just offer up this... I have a hybrid RAV4. Rated to tow 1750. I've had no issues towing with it. Have towed at 70+ but have since learned to go slower (60-65) for my own comfort and peace of mind. I find it more than adequate. Before the pandemic I was considering the Santa Fe hybrid with...

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    No, probably not. LoL But ideally you won’t wait until you’ve run it down to empty. In the perfect world you top off with solar an hour or two at a time when you know you will be around to watch it. At least that’s the theory I’m going with.

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    That’s true but with a caveat. If you set it to the fastest charge you are pulling a high level of amps. I don’t recall off the top of my head the exact number but it is high. As a single draw on a house line it’s not a problem. I’ve done it before at home. However, if you want to charge it in...

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    I’ll be there the last week of April. I’ve been there in the same time frame the last 6 years and temps tend to be 70s to 80s with nights in the 40s. Usually pretty pleasant. When I originally tested the Dometic in the house it pulled right at 220 watts for 24 hours. I don’t see it pulling any...

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    Yes, the Dometic can be set to freeze or refrigerate but not both.

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    Thanks. There's definitely trade offs to coolers vs fridges. I recently transitioned to a fridge shortly after picking up my new 560 in June 2021. I have to say I don't miss digging through ice and cold water to find food. I was reminded of that on my most recent trip when my fridge broke before...

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    Through some poor planning I've put myself in an interesting position. I totally screwed up while trying to book Yosemite this morning. Got very lucky and this afternoon I found a vacancy pop back up that fits my window exactly and for 6 consecutive nights with no moving. However, it is...

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    I know this is quite subjective, but from the department of FWIW, I have used this cheap space heater a few times when I had shore power. It has two power levels, 375W and 750W. My experience was that 750 was way too hot inside the camper but 375 was just fine. I only used it before bed while...

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    Yeah, cost is definitely a downside to the sogens. But they are getting cheaper. I just can’t imagine carrying around two 100Ah LFP batteries and an inverter.

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    I’d certainly check with Cary to make sure that process will work. If it does and if you’re only looking for an inverter large enough to run your heater I’d only use a pure sine. The cost difference wouldn’t be worth it to me. Depending upon your other potential future uses you might consider a...

    Awesome! Mr Magoo thanks you. :)

    Those photos are way too small for my eyes. Any chance you have larger ones?

    Solar Generator Newbie

    I have an Ecoflow Delta Mini as well as an Ecoflow River Pro. I like using the app. It's handy and works without internet. I like that they can charge quickly. Both of mine are the NMC technology. I don't find it a problem to not have Anderson connectors. When camping I mostly use the AC...

    Hello Camp Inners

    I don't know the first thing about cooking and plan to keep it that way. But that YouTube is just a black hole that sucks you in. I love watching Cowboy Kent Rollins!

    Where/how did you sell it?

    Solar Generator Newbie

    I went through all the paralysis by analysis last year when I purchased my sogens. My main takeaways was that LFP4 is a safer battery technology and it lasts many more cycles. I think if you're buying them for camping purposes, the life cycles don't really mean much given that your usage isn't a...

    Pfeiffer Big Sur

    OK. You confused me when you said, "in camp I keep it topped off with a 100 watt solar panel". I have some Ecoflow sogens that supplement my house battery but I haven't yet had to use them on the fridge.

    Pfeiffer Big Sur

    Oh, OK. So you did find enough sun to charge the Jackery via the portable panel? I know some of those redwood groves can be incredibly dark and full of shade. I recall testing my first Dometic in the house (obviously a very controlled and mild environment) and noting it used about 220 Wh over a...

    Pfeiffer Big Sur

    That sounds and looks like a really awesome trip Randy. I've been wanting to go up the coast but never quite planned a trip yet. Can you expound on what made the drive "not for the faint of heart"? I have to run those things by my cardiologist these days. :D Do I understand correctly that you...

    Considering Adding Solar

    I think your best bet is to call Cary and ask him how they retro fit the solar to older trailers. He would know best.
