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 Thread
My Second Solar Install Thread & Photos and Documents Related to the build
My MX450's solar, battery and inverter system - my biggest system yet!

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.

Alright, another T2000. Now I won't be as outnumbered by all the Volvo's. ;)

Excellent, that will make at least 3 T2000. I just dropped mine of tonight to have the bed put on it.

That's right. I forgot you guys sold your Volvo and "upgraded" to a T2. ;)

I'm a pretty big fan of the T2000. I've been secretly envious of Chad's for a good while. ? I even toyed with the thought of asking him to put me on a short list of potential buyers if he decides to get a new truck...?

If this keeps up, we might have to drive our KW out there and see if we can give the Volvo's a run for the money and see that side of the country.

I'd love to see that new Kenworth in person. You definitely should. :)

Are you coming to the rally to see it and the others in person?

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...

Doug,

 

Sorry to hear about your wife.....please give her our best and let her know our thoughts and prayers are coming her way.

Thanks very much...we're both kinda still in shock, I think. I know I'm having a tough time keeping myself focused enough to do my work.

Come on! Make reservations and I'll race you up there.

I've seen similar races on video before. One of these days, I'm going to have to go to one in person.
