Thanks for all the info, sounds like an amazing set up. There's a lot to learn about this stuff and one would want to make sure it's done right the first time. At this point I'm just trying to figure out my budget for this lol. The cool thing is if wired correctly, its easy to add more panels and batteries later. Thanks for your write up.

Be aware that controller will not allow you to run 24v of panels in series with a 12v system, nor will it allow you to reap more then 30amp (400w/12v-33amps)

You're right, had to go back and read the manuel online for that controller, it says it supports 24v of panels but has to be matched to 24v battery system. Back to the drawing board lol.

yep ill most likely be going the similar route as you both. 4x100 watt panels wires series/series/parallel to a converter box, to a Trimetric SC-2030 controller and Trimetric 2030rv battery monitor/shunt. Haven't decided on the inverter yet and when I do i'll def be hitting you up on the wiring Adam! Did you wire in a manual or automatic transfer switch so when your inverter is on, your converter is off? I'll also be doing the same batteries, already priced em at Sams club...4x 6v golf cart batties making over 400ah. I love talkin this stuff.

Adam look into the Morningstar Tristar, its a great controller. You can pick em up on Amazon.

I just picked up a 2007 Fleetwood Gearbox, 39ft, 18.5ft to first cabinet. lots of room on top for panels...i'm not trying to go to big, 300w maybe. I just want my daughter to be able to watch movies at night if she wants and have all lights on without having to run the gen for such a small load. I may just get a portable solar set up..a lot easier. a small gen isn't a bad idea, i'm sure it would be great on gas but still defeats the purpose of not wanting to run the gen at all unless I need the AC.

we'll see, more research to do. Thanks Pete ill give him a call for a quote and i'll be sure to hit you up to Adam when I decide on the route i'm going to go.

Thinking about putting a small to medium size solar set up on my new TH..Will be doing most of the work and wiring myself, the only thing i'm not feeling very comfortable with even with all the research i've done is hard wiring an inverter to my CB panel with a transfer switch, so my inverter will run my trailer and my converter will be disabled (not trying to charge creating an endless loop thus draining my batteries)

Anyone know a guy? or reputable shop? I won't trust just anyone for this...Thanks

dude was sick, sad to see him leave the sport, especially at the hands of an injury. But you pay to play the game and he played it better than almost anyone.

I got days off scheduled through Presidents days 2016! lol

Our first long weekend will be the weekend before Halloween to beat the crowds (Friday-Monday) Anyone else planning on popping their 2016 season cherry that weekend? I know it's early, talking about this helps me through the summer, it's like therapy

no amount of getting up early or staying up late will get us out of this heat

Awesome video Pete, love how it tells the story of the day

Sleep? Had a blast on the day trip, I got a couple pics ill get up when I get a min. Overall great weather, smooth as silk dunes, awesome people and great times.

Anyone have any history with the Fleetwood Gearbox? Looking at a 2007 375FSG. 39ft with 18ft of cargo.

I searched the web looking for any trash on them, couldn't find much. Just seeing if anyone had any first hand experience good or bad you could pass on.

Thanks.

Loaded up and ready to roll. See ya guys on the road

Yep I did a lot of research on solar but knew I'd eventually sell my bumper pull so I held off. Ill be doing something very similar to your set up. Good to hear its working out for you. Raptors are nice but a 12ft garage just wont cut it. My xp4 1k is 12.2" plus whatever I buy my daughter. Ill definitely focus on the frame on the WW's. At least you know you have a solid rig for years to come.

We'll see ya sunday way to early

It's a GO for me. BBQ at the in laws at 3:30pm, we'll be back by then. Normal spot across from 6 Pete? Im sure we'll be the only fools out there lol. Lets ride!

No worries Adam, realized after I posted you'll need wider than 6ft for your long travel..

Well I got tired of driving my RZR up on ramps in my toy hauler and changing all 4 tires after getting there and before leaving so I sold it today.

Looking for a used 5th wheel with no garage, 14ft minimum of cargo before a cabinet. We liked our billet edition WW so would like to find another, preferably a 3705 or 3905, but doesn't have to be a WW.

If you spot a good deal or are even selling yourself, post up!

@SandJoker, ill be keeping my 3yr old at home for this one, she loves riding but I can't go as hard with her and these are usually rather fast paced, ride ride ride and go home days lol. Wife might come.

how big you looking for? I picked up a 14x6 a bit ago right on Nellis, I called everyone around he was the cheapest. Nice guy they just expanded here from Utah.

Lemme see if I can get out of this bbq at the in laws sunday cause I'd MUCH rather be riding. Let ya know.

Getting the long travel adam?

Another weekend is cool with me, waiting on a new clutch I'd like to dial in when we go anyway.

Weather app on my phone confirms what you said Pete, the weather button on this forum is what says thunder. So consistent lol. Either way ill know tomorrow.

"A Thunderstorm possible" lol

tempting...

I can't go that weekend unless I cancel a camping trip i've already committed to. Don't change anything for me i'm sure we'll do this again, but if you decide to do the 20th Stef and I are in.

I'm in

Ultimate RZR hater ^^^
