I am interested in purchasing some Battleborn batteries and found out that they will be at the big tents in Quartzsite.  Does anyone know how much they charged for their batteries at the tents in prior years?  I asked but they kind of hesitated and said they aren't sure.  Thanks!

Yup, I'd be fine paying someone, as long as it's a member that you guys can vouch for because I'm fairly new. If nobody is interested in sharing the shipping I'll do the detour, or I can get a Canadian solar 265W from my nephews father-in-law who sells solar here in Canada.

Hi Jim, what is a reasonable price per watt for what you have on your truck?   I'm assuming it's a brand that is difficult to buy 1 panel from. I need a smaller panel, as I will be hauling it in and out for at least this year.  I was offered 325 for $500.  I can buy 3 Canadian Solar for that...

Hi Noodly, They will ship to a company in Blythe, which is very close.  Cost to ship 1 or 2 panels $150...cost to ship 6 panels $192. The panels are shipped separate from the charge controller, and wiring.  Those things will be an additional $25ish, for one order, and slightly more if combined...

I am going purchasing a solar system from Northern Arizona Wind and Sun in Flagstaff.   Driving down from Canada Oct 26th, to join the Ehrenberg caravan, and going to Flagstaff is about a 2.5 hour detour. Not much, but after 20 hours of driving it's gross.  Considering shipping it instead.   ...

I'm assuming the answer to this is a resounding 'yes' but if I am going to be joining the caravans, on BLM land, and traveling with a large, solar panel (5 foot X 2.5 foot), that I will not be installing on my rig, will I have to haul it inside my van each night?   Thanks for your input.

Thanks John, I only have a 2 way fridge, so running solely on DC isn't an option.  Just propane, or plugged into AC.  I appreciate your help :)

Thank you, that is the number I am looking for.  I only have a two way fridge, so only options are  propane (which still uses some DC to operate - and this DC draw is the number I was trying to figure out) plugged into AC (where nothing matters).   The answer is to use the absorption fridge...

^ Thank you! It's a 2005 but the manual indicates that it needs DC power to operate on propane, so there is some draw.  Do you think there is any merit in bringing a portable indel b 51, rather than using the fridge that is in the unit?  The indel B uses 20 amps a day, so the chances of the...

^ Thank you for the info.  Good to know that your total load is not too bad.  My fridge is only a two way so I can only use it when plugged into AC, or on propane.  I am debating getting an indel b because it uses 20 amps a day,  41=0/963=7410=8520=8520/963/963*-+ *-+ *-+...

Has anyone figured out how many watts a small fridge uses when it is operating on propane? I have a Dometic RM 2351, in a class B van.  The specs show 175 watts, but it doesn't tell me if that is what it uses on straight electric.  I'm trying to determine draw on my batteries if I run it on propane.

I am considering driving my 1997 Plymouth Van to Arizona, to try out the nomad life.  I saw a video Bob did on the ARB awning and tent, and would like to consider it, but I'm concerned about desert winds.  Does anyone use this awning/tent successfully in the desert?  Would be useful, at least...

Thank you for your reply Brian, I should have thought of that.  I moved them around and it appears the switch is fine.

Thanks highdesert, I think I figured out what you were saying (duh) and ignored the orange clips and went to the red 'lego' plug.  I touched the red wire with the positive clip of the multimeter and the far right black wire with the negative clip on the multimeter.  It registered 12.5 volts.  I...

Thank you, but how do I jump them together when I can't get the 'orange' peg off the control board?  I can't pull it off, so I can't get to the wire?  Sorry if I sound stupid :)

Thanks again everyone.  I think I agree that the more simple the system, the better off I will be, however for now, I have a van with a sensor system.   Question Skyl4rk.  I had checked the fuses, all good.  I had removed the panel and checked connections, all good.  I would like to check if I...

Thank you to everyone who replied.  I REALLY appreciate the information. The lead about the ground seems to be the direction I should explore.  I called an RV repair shop and he came to the same conclusion, since my battery level is working, and the other two buttons on the panel (hot water...

Hi Reuben, and thank you for taking the time to reply.  I actually looked for that, and there is no name on the front of the panel- it's completely blank.  I'm beat for this evening, but tomorrow I'll see if I can remove the panel and see anything on the back.  I just don't know what sort of...

Apologies if this is a repeat post.  I've scoured the internet for answers but all info relates to cleaning the sensors.  My tanks are clean and the sensors as well.  The levels for all tanks (fresh, grey and black) no longer show when I check levels.  Just the battery level shows.  I've checked...
