Power Pack….. My 26800 mAh charges my phone, headlamps, air pack, drone, Garmin GLO, Nikon camera, I pad Airll which really sucks the juice when running Gaia mapping real time constantly redrawing the maps. Only drawback if I run it completely down it takes about 20-24 hours to recharge. Newer...

We have a Yamaha Zuma 125 scooter and a Versahaul carrier that can also pull our skiff. Great for exploring and running for supplies. We used to have 50cc zuma but it struggled keeping up in traffic with 2 people.

We have been using a Morningstar controller for over 10 years with no issues. Built like a tank, metal , no cheap plastic unit. Just read up on the inverter, it uses a transformer instead of transistors, that tells me it’s a quality unit and they are not building it the cheaper way. You can’t go...

I was suspicious when I didn’t see a spec for BTUs. Watts? 1W=3.41BTU/h so at 450 watts that comes out to 1535BTU. Which isn’t Jack. My first AC/ van build I used a 4000btu which didnt cut it. The van was brown, as soon as the morning sun hit it. Game over.Plus opening and closing the doors...

An iPad with a Garmin GLOll for the gps and GAIA mapping software. You can download the maps if you plan to go out of cell phone range. Pretty straight forward.

I upgraded to LEDs about 6 months ago. The prices have really started to drop on the led and new models do not have fans. Bought a 4 bulb set on Amazon for around $75 on special deal, no fan, w/ 2 yr warranty. Took about 20 min to install all 4. I marked where my high and low beams hit my garage...

That’s about it. I think USB to usb c and micro will eventually take over.

Yes it will damage electronics, voltage goes down....current goes up. Those little power packs you are using are not capable of the current draw from an Inverter. You only have .5v before 10.5, the Inverter will shut down or burn up. I would also be concerned with a fire hazard besides damaging...

With my system the switched output from the solar controller goes to a Blue Seas distribution block, positive to the positive buss and negative to the negative buss which is also goes to the trucks ground. Also connected to the distribution block is a Xantrex 20A Marine Charger that is...

Here is our 2014

We travel with a Yamaha Zuma 125 Great for campsite supply runs and exploring back roads.

Sweet! Was the passenger seat optional or custom? I’ve been eyeballing the new 125 looks nice with the disk brakes. Did you ever come across one with the oversized rear sprocket? When I was 13 my Dad bought me a Sport 50, then a Super 90, after that a 160 Scrambler, great bikes and memories.

IMO I would use sunbrella material. Its what they use in the marine industry, it “ breathes” so you won’t have a mold issues, available in a rainbow of colors.

Brake lights are on a always on circuit, not ignition. I would be looking at the switch at the brake pedal not completely disengaging. Put a voltmeter on the output of the pedal switch and see what you have.
