I'm running two small 12V fans off of an Ecoflow lithium power station. I was going to switch out the car cig connectors with DC5521 barrel connectors. I discovered that the fans have in-line 2 amp fuses in the cig connectors. Is it really necessary to have such fuses on low amp devices like...

I'm working on an SUV build and plan to install fans to vent out a screened sunroof. I know that you can't push air out unless there is a way for fresh air to come in. There may be times I'd want the windows closed for stealth or security. Does anyone know if fresh air can enter a vehicle...

I'm building out a small SUV that has 3 cig lighter outlets (fuse rating) - dash 10A, console 20A, luggage (no fuse listed?) I can see the wiring under the console, it's 2.2mm with insulation, which I guess to be around 16 gauge. I'll be running (while driving) a small Alpicool fridge and...

I'd have thought that everything that seems like a good idea for vehicle camping would have been produced by now, but I cannot find anything like this? (maybe its not such a good idea?)  I'm outfitting my Subaru Forester as a micro camper. I've tried the sock-style screens, but they are tedious...

What type of fabric is best for covering plywood platforms? I'm building out my Subaru Forester as a micro-camper. Something similar to what a stock rear deck would be covered in. Thin, durable, applied with spray adhesive and maybe staples?

I thought my mind was made up to get the new hybrid AWD Sienna until I found out the 2nd row seats are not removable. Yes, I know that anything can be removed with tools and effort (for instance, I turn the from passenger seat around on my Mazda CX-5 when using it for camping), but it seems...

I had a shakedown cruise in my small SUV camping rip this week. The good news- the Napier Sportz Cove hatchback tent and the window screens really kept the mosquitos out at the buggy camp site by the river. The bad news? They also kept the bugs in that had flown in and been trapped while I was...

Anybody heard of this company? I've looked all over the website and don't see anything about specs, platform, etc.?

I'm looking at the 380WH unit, comparing it to a Jackery 500. Its a fairly new model, there are very few reviews online but it sounds promising. The  advanced 2000 cycle battery seems like it's worth the -25% less WH capacity. It is also very reasonable at $380. Any experience with this model...

I just bought a WattFun 500Wh power station (terrible name, but appears to be the same as the Bluetti MaxOak AC50.) The manual says it will only charge to 50% running off the car 12V, but will charge to 100% with 24V. (It is rated up to 40V for solar charging.)  A reviewer said to use a 12V 300W...

I'm new here, forgive me if you've seen this before.

I'm adding a 500wh Jackery-type power staton to my small SUV minimalist build. Can this be hooked up somehow to provide power to the vehicle accrues such as lights, audio and USB ports? I imagine this would entail some sort of switch and isolate circuit from the vehicle battery? Just seems it...
