    Semi-Permanent Off Grid RV solar charging

    Not really concerned about leaks, as long as you use good quality lap sealant and don't go crazy drilling holes there's not really any risk. If you look at the cables on mine they actually are routed down the back of the fridge vent, so there's not even any cable gland entries etc. The cables...

    Semi-Permanent Off Grid RV solar charging

    I am a big fan of use extra panels, so that you dont need to be perfectly situated in the sun at all times. Depending on your setup (with MPPT) you can adjust the charge parameters to match your battery. Depending on brand even across all flooded lead acid batteries they differ from what they...

    1 Ton Duallys

    I'd go the diesel route as others have posted for resale. Its pretty hard to sell a dually truck with a gas engine, as the majority of people buying them want them for horse pullers or whatever. I honestly dont think you will need too much in the way of suspension upgrades if you go the dually...

    Are the rzr 900s any good?

    Been extremely happy with my 16 trail 900. Drove a buddies earlier 800 and it felt like an absolute dog in comparison. Wouldnt hesitate. Like all machines though, the clutches need to be cleaned often. Most of the grenading I've seen on the trails have absolutely filthy clutches.

    Semi-Permanent Off Grid RV solar charging

    Built a bunch of setups, learned some in school, and lots of research and courses to help design systems for industrial applications... Bit of everything?

    Semi-Permanent Off Grid RV solar charging

    It will vary max input depending on the series for the controller. This will control how you are wiring it as well, if you are wiring them in series or parallel. Theres also a max input wattage depending on the series as well (Eg EPEVER Tracer AN can have less input wattage vs the BN) Which is...

    Semi-Permanent Off Grid RV solar charging

    That distance definitely isnt too far, but you will need to be calculating in the voltage drop and current requirements for the cable thickness as you go. 200W really isnt very much power nowadays, id suggest looking at much more than that if you are going to bother with it. You should be paying...

    3M paint protection cost?

    Lots of times its way cheaper to go to a vinyl shop that wraps vehicles and get them to do it. I think when we looked for my buddies GM it was $1700 for 3M at the dealer and Pixel Imaging in Calgary did XPEL for like 700. It was a much better quality product as well.

    Skid plates

    For sure a need. We tried a few different styles in our group and ended up coming to the conclusion that the best option is the 1/2" (or thicker) UHMW. Weight to coverage it is a really good option. The aluminum ones are nice on the protection side, but really like to "Stick" to rocks and stop...

    02-14 Duramax

    If you are looking at LML's see if you can find a '15. They have the new body/interior, but have the previous LML in them. I wouldnt hesitate with a higher KM version, long as the CP4 had been done.

    Single Axle Flip

    I've done two trailers on my own, but the last trailer I had Standens do it. For the price for them to do it, I dont know if i'd do it again. It was also nice for them to do a quick alignment to know that my tires wouldnt have any uneven wear. I think it was 700 bucks for them to flip the...

    Wheel Bearing Grease.... What's your preference?

    I use pretty high-end for all of my greases. I use Shell Gadius S5 V220 for all of my toys. Have another gun loaded with V460 if I need the extra viscosity. With the amount we spend on these toys you might as well use the best. I wouldn't use non-synthetic oil, so I also don't use non-synthetic...

    Trailer converter

    That was at HES in Calgary. You have to be a company to order from them as they are only a wholesaler, but I can always make a call if someone really wants. They are Longi Panels which are pretty well rated panels for the price of them.

    Trailer converter

    Honestly the 45 amp to 60 amp doesnt make as big of a difference as you expect. Normally these chargers will never be close to charging at the max of their rating anyways. If you had all incandescent bulbs, and left everything on, with water pumps and stereos blasting maybe, but not really the...

    Sled deck on 1/2 ton?

    Agreed, just still what's going to stop them from saying this vehicle was used outside the manufacturer's recommendations all warranties are null and void. Saw this happening all the time when people would take their vehicles to the race track than not get warranty work.

    Sled deck on 1/2 ton?

    Onboard scales tied to the ECU scare me a bit. All I can imagine, bring the truck into a dealer for some warranty work and they look into the onboard scales and see it overloaded once and decline everything going forward. Yes Yes typical Snow and Mud get a bigger truck, but it happens...

    Water tank sag

    Depending on the hose setup for these, sometimes you need even longer hoses to fill the tanks. I find that filling with a much smaller line (3/8") that gets pushed in two or three feet into the fill hose seems to do a better job at filling the tanks than those adapters. Takes longer, but seems...

    Zoleo

    I was looking very seriously at the Bivystick. Its a credit system, but is one of the few that actually allow you to "carry forward" your credits. Leave it on all the time and have a big bank for sledding season, while still being able to use it as backup in the summer etc. And its on the...

    Bill 64 - Random Camping Proposed Fees

    The last few years the GF and I have been making an honest effort to do the whole "Share your Passions" with people who don't normally get to do that type of stuff. We purposely bought a larger trailer to bring other singles and couples. Normally we go for 4 days to get the whole experience. I...
