    Can you double up on a circuit on the blue sea 12 circuit fuse box ?

    Not a problem as long as you size the fuse for the smallest AWG wire on the circuit. For example say you have two sets of lights wired to the same fuse and one set of lights is wired with 14awg wire and the other set is wired with 16awg, you would want the fuse to be sized for 16awg.

    12v white and red changeable LED strips?

    National Luna makes one. They come in a lot of the Alucab products. My Alucab canopy came with a few of the white ones and I’ve never had any issues with them. https://ok4wd.com/national-luna-touch-light-red-and-white-light/

    Simplest truck bed fridge setup?

    What kind of fridge and how did you get those numbers? They seem way too high. I’ve had a couple different fridges and both have pulled consistently right around 15ah a day or 180wh. This is measured with a Victron Smart Shunt and I keep my fridge set at 36 degrees. I have a custom built...

    Does anyone make really wide wedge tents (wider than falcon XL)

    The Autohome Columbus Variant X Large is 71 inches wide but also almost 12” tall so might not work for you. Also Autohome is one of the higher quality tents available.

    Reasonable Internet service if you are not using Starlink?

    Do you or your spouse work in healthcare, first responder or government? AT&T FirstNet is a priority network for people that work in those fields. My work phone is on FirstNet and I’ve been places where the towers are very overloaded and my personal phone has useless data but my work phone works...

    Issues with my iKamper

    Interesting to hear. I’ve had a couple other tents including an Autohome Maggiolina and the ikamper is easiest to setup and take down.

    Issues with my iKamper

    I haven’t had this issue but I have a 3.0. I know it’s not a great solution but you you could try using some 3m industrial spray adhesive Where it’s coming apart. I would make an extremely small slit where it is coming off that you could fit the little can straw through and give it a good spray...

    12v High output USB charger

    The one I got has a small button to turn it on and off. Even with it on and nothing plugged in my Victron shunt doesn’t measure any current draw, although I’m sure there is a very small amount.

    12v High output USB charger

    Got the new charger today. Plugged my MacBook Air into it and it was pulling 48w and charging at full speed. Haven’t tested my work laptop yet or know if it will provide the full listed 65w. But it does charge laptops just fine it seems. Edit: Dell work laptop was pulling up to 58w when I was...

    Quick question on wiring acces. to parallel batteries

    If all the accessories are already fused inline you could just use a bus bar or terminal block. But typically you want the fuses as close to the battery as possible and a fuse block makes it easier to diagnose issues and replace blown fuses.

    Quick question on wiring acces. to parallel batteries

    Blue Sea makes a high quality fuse block. And yeah they make them with ground in many different sizes.

    Quick question on wiring acces. to parallel batteries

    Best practice would be to connect accessory positives to one end of the battery bank and accessory negatives to the battery on the other end of the bank. Of course it depends how you have the batteries wired together. With that many accessories you should have a separate fuse panel or at least...

    12v High output USB charger

    I think the forum removes Amazon links. But I found a 1 1/8” panel mount USB C and A 12v charger on Amazon that apparently puts out 65w from the USB C port. This form factor will work better for me even though it doesn’t put out quite as much power as the Coolgear unit. It’s coming tomorrow so...

    12v High output USB charger

    Thanks this is what I was looking for. These are similar to the Powerwerx module but cheaper and have more output.

    12v High output USB charger

    Thanks. I guess I should have also mentioned it is for my homemade battery box. I have a USB C port on it but it only puts out around 20-30w which isn’t enough for my laptop. The Milwaukee thing is cool but also only puts out 45w on USB C which probably wouldn’t be able to keep up with my laptop.
