The Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur, Nederland)

Interesting, well see what kind of solar panel it recommends and let me know. Most should be the same really, just if it recommends a certain Wattage or something then that may make sense.

 

Company is called ZAMP

 

From the looks of it, looks kinda similar to the Renogy kit I have. Except it looks to include the waterproof roof access that is pretty nice that can then be expanded on pretty easily.

Looks pretty nice and worth it.

Closest dealer for them looks to be in Nacogdoches at Armadillo Supply though.

 

Secrets don't make friends. Need deets!

 

Man that thing looks sweeeeet. Congrats!

 

Thanks

 

I would be interested in your ideas for a solar setup as I will be doing the same at some point.

 

In case anyone is interested...

And he can't even include the comment I put on the picture!

Just watch my build thread as I plan on documenting my solar setup on the truck when I work to install it this week.

One suggestion, depending on if you want solar on the truck or just for base camp, look at Renogy on Amazon and then look at Other Sellers option. I found my 100W kit for $165 shipped to my door from Amazon Warehouse with Prime shipping... only reason is because the box was messed up on it so they could not sell it as a "brand new" item. Everything inside the box was brand new and didn't have anything wrong with it.

 

Nice! What controller did you get for it? I saw some on Amazon that were less expensive and didn't use PWM to regulate the charging. Seems like the best way to go. I've got a dual battery on the truck but have debated on a solar setup for the trailer.

 

This is the controller that came with it.

For my application, yes, when I have the truck parked somewhere say at camp, or at work, and the fridge is still in the truck and running, will help to keep the battery charged.

Once I get a dual battery setup, will move the wiring for the panel to keep the AUX battery charged since it will be what keeps the fridge running, always on 12V ports, camp lights, and so forth powered when parked.

 

10-4, I'll keep an eye on your build

 

Here's one to look at, but it shows to have a rebuilt title. Should be able to get it for a better price.

I like it

 

It looks unmolested, that's why I like it.

All the things I would do to it

 

@Overkill07 Did you guys make it back from your trip?

 

Fuck off

 

That is a very fair price in its condition (pending frame condition).
