A few years ago I installed a rather involved solar system in my Forest River RR19 Toy Hauler travel trailer. Back then, with a single Lithium battery costing over $1000 I decided to go the AGM (Absorb Glass Mat) route. You can read all about this project on another article here on my web page:
A few years ago I decided that sleeping on the ground was no longer fun. Having spent some time in Australia a few years ago, I became aware of Roof Top Tents (RTT). Seemed every other car and truck had one on top! Once I returned home I did some research and found a “Used
The Roofnest Falcon is a great Roof Top Tent (RTT). When you purchase it, they include one handle. And it is a VERY nice handle. If you want or need more handles they are $40 each. Don’t get me wrong, they are worth $40 each as they are extruded or cast aluminum, anodized and beautifully
I recently totally reconfigured the solar charging system in my Forest River 19RR Grey Wolf toy hauler. I’ve replaced the PWM charge controller with an MPPT unit and added Renogy DC to DC 40A charger in the truck. Here is a video, in two parts, showing the updated system PART 1 PART 2 Be sure

Better sleeping bag will work great until it gets REALLY cold. Then your body stays pretty warm but your head, ears and nose suffer. I’ve
Recently I decided to add a Rooftop Tent to my truck for far offroad “Overlanding” adventures. Not wanting to mess with coolers and ice I built a “Portable Generator” to power a small portable refrigerator freezer. Lots of choices out there for a good quality refrigerator. I had boiled it down to a few models
I needed a PORTABLE GENERATOR which we used to can a simple battery box. There were used for years with trolling motors onfishing boats. Now with the huge interest in OVERLANDING and BOONDOCK CAMPING they are now Portable Generators… First, I needed a box of some type. I looked into AMMO CANS and tool boxes
I recently built a portable generator using a 100Ah AGM battery and peripherals. You can read all about it here on my web site www.rvbprecision.com To charge it I bought a 120w folding power panel I used a 150w inverter to charge my new laptop and drew the battery down to 80% Up here in
