Chad Heiser Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 We are at 12 registrations and growing...some new faces around the campfire!Very nice. Now a parts list for my project: 6 - Canadian Solar CS6P-235PX solar panels 36 - RV Solar Connection "smart feet" 1 - AM Solar combiner box 1 - Magnum PT-100 Charge Controller 4 - Fullriver DC260-12 AGM batteries These along with a few other miscellaneous parts will be finding their way onto our new DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4. They will work with the Magnum 3012 Hybrid inverter and other Magnum components being installed by the factory. I will be installing this system myself and will be installing the same basic setup on another trailer for a friend as well. Hopefully both examples will be at the rally, but I can only confirm ours for now. 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Heiser Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Only 1410 watts!!!! I was looking at that charge controller as well to go with all my Magnum stuff.I figured it was a good start I really like the specs on the PT-100. I also really like the fact it integrates in with all the other Magnum hardware. Hopefully it lives up to the hype in my implementation. 2000 Kenworth T2000 w/ Cummins N14 and autoshift 2017 DRV Mobile Suite 40KSSB4 with factory mods, dealer mods and personal mods - now in the RV graveyard 2022 DRV Full House MX450 with customized floor plan 2018 Polaris RZR Turbo S (fits in the garage) 2016 Smart Car (fits in the garage or gets flat towed behind the DRV when the RZR is in the garage)My First Solar Install ThreadMy Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the buildMy MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet! chadheiser.com West Coast HDT Rally Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buscrusher Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 He's all signed up... It remains to be seen if we're going to be able to make it. My wife was just diagnosed a couple weeks ago with a cancer, and the surgery is Feb 1st. She has other health issues that makes her condition vey fragile. We hope for the best, but she's quite high-risk for all the treatment options...even the surgery. I do have a 2-week vacation blocked out to coincide with the dates of the rally, but as much as I think I'd like to come...well...you get it...
