    Anyone use their ARB compressor to inflate SUPs or Kayaks?

    In my case, the high volume manual pump also took a similar time to fully inflate as the other two 12v pumps, except less effort. I say if you have a pump installed in your truck with 100% duty cycle, it's okay to use. Have a good gauge, have an idea of how much time it should take to...

    Anyone use their ARB compressor to inflate SUPs or Kayaks?

    I have a twinair that I use to inflate 2x 11' boards. works well. Just use a good gauge. Recently I picked up a 12v pump for watercraft and they take the same amount of time to fill the boards, but the new pump has a settable limit switch so it will turn off at the desired psi. Downside is...

    Air compressor for HD trucks

    if the air tank is full prior to filling first tire, it helps. Once the tank is equalized with the tire, it will slow the air up process as you're now filling the tire and the tank.

    Air compressor for HD trucks

    I had a 2017 ram crew cab short bed diesel, flatbed and pop up camper. We were regularly hovering around 12k pounds on 37" tires. I regularly aired down and up with my arb twin air. I also used it to air up our paddle boards. I loved my air system so much that I'm currently replicating it in...

    Pop-ups with inside showers?

    This is very true. We also opted for an outdoor shower. So we will have both. Primarily outside showers are preferred. But when weather or privacy is a concern we can opt inside. We will also have a maxxair fan/lewmar hatch for air circulation to help with condensation.

    Pop-ups with inside showers?

    I owned a 2017 FWC flatbed hawk. Indoor showering required removing the dinette table and hanging the indoor shower curtain. It worked but it was cumbersome and inconvenient with a family of 5. We purchased a 2020 hallmark UTE slide in. While it's not installed yet, the hard wall, dedicated...

    I had a 2017 flatbed hawk and sold it for a 2020 Hallmark UTE. While we haven't lived in the UTE yet, I wouldn't have switched if I didn't think we'd benefit from the change... Hopefully fully assembled pics this month. A few of the benefits for us... bunk bed (we have 3 kids so this gives...

    Pop up Camper LiFePO4 system

    I ended up being able to update my camper build... opted to go with 2x Orion tr smart 30a chargers. The dual alternators will keep up just fine and with solar I’ll be under .5C charge rate. I’m hoping they become available in time. If not, I think the timing will be close enough that I could...

    Pop up Camper LiFePO4 system

    I sold my flatbed hawk. I did consider putting an inverter with the rest of the electronics in the step to the bed, not a lot of space in there though. If you did an inverter charger, you could replace the shore charger and gain a little more space, still may be too small of a location though.

    Thanks for the suggestions. For now, I will run the system as I described. I'll see how it all works together, if I feel like I'm lacking I'll sell the redarc and replace with a victron. Initially, the 50a output of the redarc is appealing, plus battleborn approves of it. I will work with...

    question.... with the REDARC dc-dc charger and Victron 100/50mppt, will they charge simultaneously? Or will one charging source fool the other charger that the battery bank is full?

    Great points. Thanks. Can you control the inverter/charger from the app? If i remember right, there are parameters that are controllable via the GX. Regarding the victron battery protect. Doesn’t the battleborn batteries BMS do this already? Or is there another reason I’m not seeing?
