Speaking of road taxed diesel. Can't you file and recovery the road tax?

Stirring the pot here. As a lifelong farmer and petroleum business manager in my previous life. Here a a few points... 1.Diesel fuel gels in cold weather so be sure to get it as winterized formula. This is a blend of kerosene and diesel. How does the diesel heater run off this blend? 2...

Thanx for the real life info.

Now that's what I call incredible info!!! Thanx a bunch!!

Wow how much solar do you get when vertical

I was hoping for a reply from someone that did it. Thanks for the info so far.

Hello I am back from the grave so to speak. Lost another leg in Az last year. Getting over that. So my question is... I am unable to get on the roof of my motorhome to put more panels up there. So I was thinking about mounting light weight flexible solar panels on the vertical sides? They would...

Wonder about vertical on side of van?

Interesting concepts.

Try the dimmer switch. It should turn down brightness until they go off.

Ok maybe I need to do a little better on solar power. The nice thing about my gooseneck horse trailer/toy hauler is I have a roof that's 7 ft wide and 22 feet long. Lots of room for solar. So I have 3 solar panels laying around that are 100 watt. I could put 2 of those up there and hook them up...

Oops my bad with the 12 volt fridge statement, thanks highdesertranger! DannyB you answered it both times but it didn't sink in until the second time that 7 watts is 7 watts. Now my question is about a 110 volt LED light changing the volts and using energy by shedding it as heat. Apparently a...

Ok the inverter idle is 9.6 amps. The fridge is a compressor fridge with a decent size all considered freezer. I need almost all the fridges space for my medical supplies. I don't want a larger propane fridge because I dont want to buy propane. I will be running the 12 volt LED lights but I...

So I know Jimindenver has a constant on inverter and runs 110 volt all the time. In my remodel of my electrical system I will be running a 12 volt refrigerator constantly off my inverter. Actually all the 110 volt wiring will be live with cutoff switches to anything plugged in to prevent phantom...

Beware, modified sine wave inverters eat battery chargers!

Do yall like the Epsolar MPPT controller, I need to be able to handle a 24 volt 360 watt load.

Thanx Danny but I want a MPPT.

Looking at one on Amazon for $79.99 and wonder what yall have heard and or know about the 30 amp version?

Just checking my math. So if two 100 watt panels that put out 5 amps each are used. If I hooked them up as two 12 volt setups I would get 12 volt (whatevery they put out let's say 18 volts) and 10 amps? If I cross them to make a 24 volt the I would have 24 volt and 10 amp? That seems like...

Good info. So can a 60 cell panel charge a 24 volt bank by using a mppt controller? I see where yall said 60 cell is 20 volts. I have a really great 24 volt inverter and would like to use it. I have a Krieger in the other rig, slide in camper.
