So came across this heavy massive inverter brand new in box. Thought it was an actual power operated jack, only find out its an 8K inverter. Is this something I can use in my 5th wheel with a few new batteries and boost my solar up? Its currently got the standard LA and 50w juice pack, but I...

I haven't kept a moment by moment journal of electricity use but we first plugged in on day 5 and thats only because it spent the last 1.5 days in a workshop having a True Topper installed, getting no solar. Coffee maker, microwave, fireplace, aircon, TV, all, at will and most days charged back...

Is anyone familiar with this year model? I am about to purchase one for $4100. I have not owned an rv before. It will definitely need some work. There are a couple spots on roof with wood showing, maybe 4x4 inches, but it is solid and not rotting. Do I need to put a whole new roof or can I get...

Pictured below are all my components (plus 2x 100aH deep-cycle lithium ion batteries in parallel) for a 12V, 200aH system with 400W of solar panels. So far I do not have a shore power charger. My loads are: AC: a chest freezer with a temperature controller, small fans for cooling, a projector...

Two days ago I bought a 20-seater short bus! This will be my full time home once the conversion has progressed far enough. I'll use this thread to document my process and am happy to hear suggestions. The plan: - remove seats - remove flooring - remove wall fittings - remove ceiling...
