I followed your instructions and recently installed 200 watts of solar power with the recommended charge controller - even used the Harbor Freight ammo box - to completely charge my new Aero teardrop camper. Your instructions were fantastic, so clear, and so smart! I am simply overjoyed that I can now boondock with my lead-acid marine battery and never fear being without power. Thank you, Brian.

I've watched two of your videos now. Great content very excited I found your channel. That being said, I love your non-judgmental perfectionist nature. When you tell us we can just cut a big old hole in the side of the box, it's fine, do a bad job. You have cable glands installed, cable glands that you just happen to have laying around. You could just throw the controller in the box, if you are uncultured swine, but if you're not a lazy piece of crap you could put together a wood tray and paint it. Make sure you leave the cable extra long so you can sit outside your RV and watch your battery charge. I get it, that's why I would have a long cable. Your attention to detail leaves me envious. Just one more thing, when you checked the cable glands out of your inventory, does the system automatically reorder or do you have to go online manually, like a Savage?

Question - with the solar system as you set it up are there any issues when you plug in your trailer to your vehicle and the whacker battering is charging through the 12v plug-in & solar panel concurrently or if you want to trickle charge your whacker battery through a maintainer? Does the solar panel need to be disconnected from the solar charger in either of these situations?

Thank you for watching the channel. Wire your charge controller from the positive of battery one to the negative of battery 2 and youre set. On the charge controller , I would wire a simple lead plug (mc4 or anderson). With those plugs, it should be easy to leave your rooftop panel plugged in, but be able to simply unplug it and attach your portable panel. In some situations, you could even add both.

Good job, Brian, and kudos to your videographer. I might agree with T.J. that the $30 difference between the Renogy PWM you have, and the Renogy Rover 20A MPPT might be worth the investment. I think it's especially worth it in places like the NE where the sun does not shine as abundantly as, say, the desert SW. But if you need to save every dollar, your system will work fine. Looks like you're gonna die on that PWM/AGM hill! 😉

Another great job Brian. I'm a newbie to solar, but get the jest of it. I have a new Teardrop & will take my first trip on April 25. The maker installed a 85amp AGM which should be just fine, all lights & vent fan run off the AGM. I have a Jackery 500 to run my BougeRV 30 Quart fridge. In the near future I think I want to put a flex solar panel on the teardrop to top off the Jackery (and to avoid my portable Jackery panel from sprouting legs.) ** One thing that stood out when I talked to the seller was a warning ⚠️ to not overcharge the AGM. Am I correct in thinking if I also use a solar panel to charge the AGM that programing the controller will solve that warning? And the MPPT type controller also has the same selection?
@DIYOutdoorLife 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, a charge controller of either variety will prevent overcharging. You’ll have a nice set up that you can share between the Jackery and the AGM if you go this route.

I am planning to do this, but with an AFrame, my solar panel will be portable that I set out. So my little box wont be sttached permanently to the tongue and will be packed away while rolling. However, it will sit there when the panels are being used to charge the battery. My question is--how would you suggest making the temperature sensor wire detachable? I don't want to have to open the top of the battery every time--I would just like for it to hang out. The other end of the sensor is a couple of wires that poke into the coontroller-I wouldn't call it a frequently removal connection. If I cut the wires, what connector would you recommend? Looks like polarity might be an issue, is it?
@DIYOutdoorLife Жыл бұрын
That sounds like a great set up. I bet you could cut the temp sensors, strip, and use a WAGO connector. I feel like the small ones would do a great job with that fine wire and hold up. They’re non polarized so youre fine.

Hey Brian. Thanks for your great videos. My wife and I just bought a Bushwacker. I'm planning on doing your exact solar setup you cover with the 180 watt panel on the roof of your Bushwacker. I do have a question I hope you could answer? I've been considering going with two 6v golf cart batteries instead of the 100ah you are using. Would that 180 watt panel charge these batteries? Or would I be better off just doing your exact system? I have already bought everything you have except for the panel and the batteries. I know you said in another video that a larger " barrel collects more water that a glass". So I know the battery choice is very important. We live in Oregon if that helps at all. Your expertise would be greatly appreciated here. Thanks again. Chad

Possibly a dumb question but my Bushwacker 15DS doesn’t have a manual that I can find anywhere Questions about the SAE port on the side of the trailer: 1- is there any kind of built in battery protection on that? I was trying to understand what the breaker box actually does and it seems like that does have some over voltage/overcharge protection. I can’t tell what though. 2- if there is some built in plug what benefits/drawbacks are there to using that (other than the wind issue you mentioned)? 3- I’m guessing the fuse/breaker box has an inverter of a sort, but do you know what it’s ratings are? Thanks for any help 😊
@DIYOutdoorLife Жыл бұрын
These are great questions, very tricky stuff and they don't help things with the no manual. The solar on the side is kind of a gimmick. It's like that on all trailers, it's just a wire going to the battery. There is a small auto resettable dc breaker, notoriously malfunction, and has a higher rating than what the wire does... lol If you use the solar on the side, you still need to use a charge controller. Although it can be convenient and works, it's best to go right to the battery. Your power center has a DC converter, it does not have an inverter. It will serve to take shore power and convert it to 12 V, it does not help with solar. Hope this helps, feel free to reach out if you have other questions.

You're fine to plug your battery, tender into the iGreeley, I wouldn't worry about swapping the fuses.
