The Official Unofficial Super Pacific X1 Camper Thread

ohhh whattttttttt sick.
Might have to get that one now lol
I like being able to see read-outs, but the advantage over bluetooth is storing and looking at data.
Plus its cheaper than the victron that does both. Good compromise!

 

I have a fuse panel and a couple molle bags with some Meds and other stuff. I had my air lines and gas line there for awhile too. I was planning to mount an inverter and prob a fire extinguisher. The pic I posted earlier that @frenchee just posted is a nice setup.
Was looking at adding a second one or all across. At first I had no idea but figured I’d prob regret not getting it. just a bit pricey for what it is.

 

I use a $30 battery monitor off Amazon. Have one in each battery that I can monitor off BT via my phone.

 

You only get voltage ?

 

I ls have to check that’s usually what I’m checking. I was considered a shunt so I could get more info. The VictronConnect smart shunt was on my short list.

 

Yeah. The shunt provides exactly what % your battery is at by looking at all the draws through a ground and the current coming in through positive. Got a couple drinks in me rn but that’s the gist. That’s kinda the pro for the shunt it gives you accurate battery life.

 

Anyone get a heater inside the X1 yet ?
Thought I saw that orange scenic taco guy with one in the back ?

 

That’s what I thought. I messaged him and that’s a propane hot water heater. I was wondering the same thing

 

Yea. I haven’t figure out how to have it log data when the app isn’t open, but it does give a very accurate readout which is important for lithium.

 

Did a shake down trip with the camper, everything held up good besides the mounting weak points everyone is mentioning about. Hope SP figure a way out soon.

 

I’ve had a zipper detach from the window cover (first time closing it at home) and some pinched canvas wear. For those picking up their campers make sure your extrusion cuts are cut properly. I spoke with SP about these issues and they were very quick to respond and offer solutions. Unfortunately I’m too far from Portland to have them fix anything at the shop. They did say they would send me a zipper repair kit and recommended I buy a tear aid vinyl repair kit off Amazon if I’m worried about water intrusion on the pinched canvas area.

 

These uneven extrusion, etc, do you guys not check over the camper before taking possession? Im going to be driving from ohio to get mine. You can bet your butt ill be going over the thing with a fine tooth comb, zipping and unzipping everything 50 times before saying "ok," and going on my way. I think certain things you cant know till you just use it, but that uneven extrusion, that doesnt happen just with regular driving does it?

 

They would have to be recut. You’re right I should have looked it over more closely. I’ll have to live with it.

 

Have you guys seen the openable windows with bug screen that Wanderlust is offering? Looks great! I have an inquiry with them on pricing.

 

Have a link? I’d like to check it out

 

Finally took a pix of how I store my sleeping bags in the tent. It closes with no issues as long as I have the exped deflated. I use the yellow inflator/deflator from Amazon that most people are using to get it deflated.

 

It’s on a Tundra though. I would have to see it on a Tacoma to make a decision. I’m not a fan of it being off center either.

 

Check out the mounting blocks/clamps on that one. Way beefed up.

 

I want thoae windows.

 

Pretty sure you can go into any canopy shop and get windows installed.
