Pictures please, Jack. I’m curious about your solar.Mike, it is a cheaper solution but my shins would be beat to hell using it!
I bought a ARB1250 awning from Northridge on a black Friday sale for $170 4' wide by 8', perfect for over the tailgate going out eight feet, not heavy and won't take up space inside. I'm going to make a quick disconnect bracket using carriage head bolts and keyhole slots with stainless push pins to lock it in. Got my solar panel system done finally and awning is next.........Jack
Awesome rig Jack!! I didn't know they made boats for the beachZamp Solar 100watt panel through a 10amp controller. Panel is mounted on my RSI cap, I used an extra set of low profile mounts to avoid any flexing, turned out very solid. Picture was taken at my house in the woods on a mildly cloudy day . Highest I saw was
5.3 amps which is what the panel output is!
I have Genesis dual battery under the hood feeding a Voswitch system.I use my Jeep for surf fishing and turkey hunting, have a ARB Elements fridge which really is my draw have an air compressor, putting in red and white lights, kitchen slide is getting close now, which will have a sink and water pump. Chorky helped me with my design and size , most times I can be plugged in at our permanent camper by the beach so the AGM battery works for me. Zamp is pretty cool USA made entire system panel mounting feet connecting cable and controller weighed 15 pounds, they have blems and that’s what I went with the obison panel is only .69” high and ten pounds , most panel are much heavier and 1.5” high.
Fridge eliminated my need for a cooler rack with heavy cooler, just reach through side window for bait and food. I figure the new smaller rod rack ,no cooler hanging on front might have offset the about 30 pounds of the 90 lbs. of fridge and bracket , plus no ice is huge ……Jack
Nice looking solar setup Jack! Why did you go with a solid solar panel instead of a cheaper flexible panel?Zamp Solar 100watt panel through a 10amp controller.
