    You are correct, it's next to the breaker. What size inverter are you adding? The stock battery cables are only 6 AWG, I changed to 1/0 for my 2000W inverter.

    The inverter fuse has two mounting holes. I drilled two small holes and used screws with nuts and washers. As a side note, this was not a 20-minute job. It took the entire day, as I had to remove everything from the battery compartment and then disconnect & replace the original battery wires...

    There are some pictures in my post #560 showing how I added holes and wired my Battle Born GC3 battery. It was a minor pain in the butt, all you need is a Step Bit to make the hole from the battery box side. I used some rubber hose I had lying around to keep the wire from chafing on the holes...

    I needed an external 120v outlet and wanted it near the back for easy access. $18.97 on Amazon eBike charging and Starlink are the main uses for my inverter.

    I had the pleasure of drilling a large hole in my CAMP-X for an exterior outlet. This is what a panel cross-section looks like.

    A while back I posted about making some Mole Panel Nuts. I finally got a batch of them in. Here are a couple pics showing how they work. Send me a PM if you're interested. $10.50 each + shipping.

    I purchased mine when they were Big Sky RV from David. I paid the price listed on the bill of sale shown as Base Cost. All the other boxes and fees on the bill of sale were left empty. I live in Nevada, there's no need to title a truck camper here. Big Sky RV filled out the Manufacturers...

    I designed them in Solidworks and made a 3D print in plastic to test them... plastic is cheap. Once the dimensions were verified, I had them CNC milled from 303 Stainless with the black oxide surface treatment to keep them from rusting. I chose 303 stainless because it's got good corrosion...

    I finally got the Molle panel nuts I had made for the OEV Molle panels. They're 303 Stainless Steel with Black Oxide surface treatment. Trying to gauge interest. Rather expensive to make in low volume, but they come in around $10-$11 each if I can do a run of 250 pieces.

    When your roof is in the up position, do all your windows look square, or do they appear to be slightly skewed? How many struts do you have on your roof? You may have a situation where one or more struts is causing the misalignment. Call OEV, they can explain how to troubleshoot and recommend...

    I have CAMP-X specific Molle nuts drawn and 3D printed, should be able to make a short production run in October. I'll post details next week when I get back from the trip we're on.

    Can I control it...sure. Can my wife and 9 year old daughter...well, that's the problem. The only way I can ensure we conserve water is by using those flow restrictors, they seem to think the camper magically produces unlimited water. Nice pictures from your recent trip, thanks for sharing.

    I'm wondering if anyone has found a flow restrictor that works on this faucet? I'd like to reduce the flow to 0.5 GPM. I've used these in the past with great success in our trailer; not sure if there's something similar for this faucet.

    It works fine for us, but we tend to camp in very dry places. I think you'll find a whole lot of debate on outdoor showering and gray water disposal. Personally, we only use a tiny bit of water and biodegradable soap to minimize our environmental impact. On this particular trip to Baja, we...
