If we go out somewhere, we have a chain and lock to lock the panel to the trailer hitch. I have 12 years experience with solar system and have built a fair size system for the house.

With the weight he saves with Lithium batteries he can afford the rest. Just sayin'


There is a place for lead. In the ground!

For saying that. I get tired of being that person telling folks that stuff.

Few things left to finish on battery box:
Harder:
Run wires in conduit;
R45 cable wifi epever;
Run shunt monitor wire;
Better secure cables;
Run LP heater wires;
Install Battery tie-down

Easy:
*Cover/seal mistake holes
*Install flashlight

Inquiring minds want to know.

This is not an endorsement; I do not think this jack is quite reliable but it does the trick for now and isn't too expensive.

Please Note: I don't see the dilithium crystal, or the flux capacitor in the wire chart. Am I missing something?
