We just got back from our Adirondacks trip and found an interesting setup with our Anker C2000 + expansion pack. It was never sunny enough to use solar, instead we had the batteries and our goal zero fridge in the Rav4. The Anker was charging off the Rav4 via the 12V outlet and the fridge was...

He was modifying ARB and has his own trailer modifying business. Here is a video I found showing what he did for other trailers.

I contacted Wizard of Modz to see if they could modify an ARB and got the following reasons why it wouldn’t work. “The camper appears to be too short, the roof rack bars are too close together, the door is a flush door with no rain gutter or anything to back up a rubber rain gutter, and the...

Note I did not make this, I’m assuming @Lipster made this. The 2 MC4 connectors come from the panel and instead of going to a XT60 looks like a custom harness to go to the Marinco 3 prong.

I have a Resmed Airsense 11 and just got a DC charger. Tested with an Anker C300 last night and lasted about 6 hrs before the battery died. Using normal settings with the humidifier it pulls about 50-60wh. Need to do some more testing to find the sweet spot and I do enjoy the humidifier.

The panel I have basically has this with the plug Seth referenced spliced in Solar Cable Extn - Amazon.

What are you trying to do with that connection?

Just to confirm, the model panel I have is RPP100EF-SE which just has an output for usba/c and the two pigtails that eventually go to the 3 prong plug. Does not look like it has a controller.

Per claude, maybe the panel was not putting out enough voltage after the CTEK tried drawing from the panel and thus shut the process down. The Renogy 100w panel does not have a controller. I'll have to retest with good sun out to see if I can recreate it. No one know who installed the wire to...

I was trying to connect the Renogy to the 3 prong solar input which was getting to the solar terminal on the CTEK. To measure the voltage I had the panel in the sun at around 30 watts, had someone plug in the 3 prong on the outside then measured the voltage on the solar to ground terminal on the...

If I understand that mounting kit, it's putting a rain gutter on the door, then cutting hole in the ARB plus adding a cable to secure to the door? What do you do now without having it?

I did not see anything about the ability to change any settings. Below is the tech spec and I was seeing voltage across the solar and ground of the CTEK go to 21v then immediately drop to 9v then 0. It was a 100w solar panel only getting about 30w. Thought I should at least see some charging...

We have 1 of the Campinn side tents which work well, was thinking ARB on the other side to have more room for the dogs as they would be annoying in a 550 lol.

Will try these tips out! I'm looking at getting the ARB side tent as well for our two dachshunds so this will work well to make the space 'bigger' while keeping them cool as well.

On the way back home we stopped at Harvest Host with power and got to try using the AC for the first time. It was humid and about 85 degrees starting the night. I put the AC on max to cool the trailer and left it there for the night. The trailer cooled off but not as cold as I would have...
