Randy - that battery box looks just the part, essentially everything I purchased and assembled in pieces, but already put together. I would be a bit nervous about the exposed wing-nut terminals, a stray camp chair with a metal frame could make things interesting; some kind of cover would be...

It is regulated to 20 psi which is pretty high for many appliances. Check the requirements of the heater to see if this is appropriate.

My big concern with this is the amperage capacity of a "DC plug mounted in the truck bed". If the auxiliary battery is low on charge and the TV is started, there can be a lot of current applied to charge the battery. Definitely add the battery isolator and some circuit protection appropriate for...

My second battery is happy running without charging for a verified two and a half days, and the deep cycle battery is OK with that. When we are camping it is usually in the back of my TV with the charging setup from the car, and it is rare that we don't drive somewhere every couple of days. I...

I think 100 watts (might get away with 90) is the minimum you can get away with. Of course it depends greatly on if there is any shade, if you can position the panel to get direct sun at the right angle, what the ambient temperature is, and the actual condition of the battery. It also depends on...

We have been carrying our Dometic in the TV since we got the trailer. One thing I would strongly suggest if you do this is to replace your TV starting battery with a dual purpose starting/deep cycle battery. If you don't start the TV at the very least every 24 hours, the TV battery will be...

I am glad you were able to see it. We also made a 1500 mile trip into Oregon for the event; not so bad seeing as many have traveled half way around the world to see it. We camped in a National Forest campground in the far north east corner of California, got up at 2am, then drove up into Oregon...

First, sorry for the misleading title, my backup lights are not burned, but they sure looked like it. We were sitting in camp behind the trailer and I noticed the backup lights had an irregular brown stain around the bulb. I checked that the lights were still working and put it on my list to...
