Shark "Tank"

[wayoflife]

Getting closer to a pretty solid set of tools for the trail. All of this fits under my deck on one of the long cubby sides.

I like to know where everything is so I don't lose/forget it. If everything has a place it's much easier for me to make certain that everything finds its way home.

I, too, am an organized person, but what you got for the wrenches is badass. I like it.

Built a lightweight aluminum frame for my solar panel. It cost me all of $16 and it makes it sooo much easier to aim the panels properly.

I have seen these panels before, how well do they work?

Sweet! Now all we have to do is get you out on the trail with us so that you can test it out :yup:

That's awesome sharkey!! Can't wait to see how well it actually does on the trails!

Pretty well actually. If you look back a few pages in my thread you will get a feel for what kind of watts I'm getting. I definitely need a few more of these Nomad 20's (or maybe the new Nomad 100) to get to the point were I can run my ARB fridge indefinitely plus run some other stuff I have going on...but I'm very happy with how everything is coming together.

As soon as you buy the stuff. :idontknow: Plus, I thought you were the bane of the existence of all things solar.

Don't believe everything you read online. :bleh:

I went back and read, and that's pretty cool how u can run the fridge and those panels make enough to charge it back up. I've seen it before online, but it looked pricey and was curious if it worked good. It's an awesome idea, and what u made to hold and angle the panels is great!.! Your setup is looking great!

 

[Sharkey]

Hmm. Crappy weather so it's time to think up a new project. I have some extra wood and carpet...perhaps a deck extension for when I'm only carrying one passenger could be in the works. I'm still working through some design issues in my head, but maybe I'll come up with something decent.

Plugs are in and wired up to the dash. Tomorrow I will pull them through to the battery. Then I have to mount some tie down brackets and I'll be all ready to go.

My pelican boxes fit fine and don't hit the bottom of the plugs.

I am really liking this setup! The whole build is looking good!
