I used EcoFlow delta and loved it but try to put as close to 10amps input via solar to max it out for fastest charging. I think if you wire the panels in parallel it should double the amps. Check that out to check my quick math

The thing that stands out for me was the 16G wiring. Losses due to heat and lower gauge won't be helpful. I would use 10g wires. Not expensive and shouldn't take to long to replace them all. Make sure to use quality crimped end that are tight also. Hard to read on my phone now but how many solar...

I have a Promaster 159WB and wish I had the longer one. I had to get this length to park it in my last home. Now I have plenty of room to park it. Any vehicle gets small inside pretty quick so get what you want and just park a bit farther away, you don't have to have that 1 spot in front 😉

The people that use them have the power to take good care of them or trash them. Sadly, I see a lot of abuse by selfish campers tossing trash, waste, etc. all over. We all can do a bit each time we stay at a site. Pick up when you get there and pack it out. I try to drag at least one bag of...

Wasn't that because of Covid, not staffing or money? A lot of places were closed down during that time.

So they broke the law to write you a ticket because you were breaking the law. Funny how that works

I don't work for an insurance company but deal in the industry for 28 years now. The total cost of repair is out of control and the company has to raise rates longer accordingly, sad fact of doing business, if you want to stay in business. Claims have risen because of many factors like ADAS...

Please keep in mind that the ratings are in perfect weather conditions and aren't what you will be getting out of them. Sun, clouds, time of day, season, angles all take away from the max output

2 sets of 2 panels wired in series then the sets wired in parallel. Yes, I thought it seemed wrong but looking at many solar " experts" the math is correct..Its a 9.8 amp input at 12 volts. I checked the a meter before connecting. That 4th panel wired it this configuration made an...

Correct, 3 panels. Fat fingered phone typing 😁

I have a 2022 Promaster 2500HT 159wb that I built out. My #1 must have in it was to store my MTB inside with only taking the front wheel off. It's on a 5ft slide out tray that hold 500 lbs which I also store stuff on. The whole design started there... Above about 1/2 of the van I have a 6" full...

I had 1 100 w panels wired in series that were OK but when charging my eBike and running a laptop & lights, it went lower than I wanted. Keep in mind that rating are in perfect conditions, not real life too. Light days of sunshine like we have now really limits the input. I added 1 one more...

DEF systems are total crap for diesels and you probably won't see long life's like the older engines. Having the burnt exhaust get stuffed back into the intake clogs the intake system, plugs injectors, carbon build up on the valves causing less lubrication on the cylinder walls or injectors to...

70's in the desert with coolers nights arr my happy temps

I had a Eco Flow Delta in my first van conversion and loved it but check the max input for your unit. Mine would only use 10 amp max so having a huge solar array might be not needed. I used 4 100amp panels wired in series/ parallel and it proved to be perfect for my needs & conditions. Do a...
