• 20ft Solar extension cables: Link
• Solar MC4 Branch Connector coupler: Link
• Cheap Temporary 50A Solar Charge Controller: Link
  • I used this as a temp charge controller to test. It was hooked up and working well to 2 Lead acid Deep cycle batteries. It’s not a Mppt like it says, it’s a PWM. But for less than $20 it helped me understand my solar setup and if I blew this up, well it was only $20.
• Solar Charge Controller, EpEver Duoracer 30amp Dual battery bank charger: Link
  • This thing is pretty neat. Charges up to 30amp on Battery 1 and then when Battery 1 is in float mode it charges Bank2 to at 1amp. I use it to keep the starting batteries topped off when in storage. It came with the wifi box BUT it came with the wrong cable so I ordered it separately.
• Control cable for ebox wifi adapter for Duoracer: Link
• Battery temp sensor for Duoracer: Link
• Duoracer MT11 Remote Meter/Monitor: Link
  • After I bought this I realized I could only have one thing plugged in. Either the eBox Wifi or this Meter. So i’ll probably find a way to switch between the 2.

Appliances

• Mini- Split AC Unit: Link
  • Best purchase ever! This thing was cheap, works great, and is stupid quiet! Buy one now!
• Mini Split Line Set 25ft: Link
  • I extended the line set from 10ft to 25ft. I didn’t add any additional refrigerant and I’ve been using it all summer and no issues.
• Mini Split vacuum pump adapter: Link
  • You’ll need this to adapt the mini split compressor fitting to the fitting on the compressor for the Vacuum pump.
• 8kw Diesel Heater: Link
  • I can’t recommend these enough! It was 30F degrees in the bus with almost no insulation and no window coverings, kept the bus nice and warm. Took about an hour and a half to get to temp. Now with insulation and window coverings takes like 15 minutes from ice cold inside.
• Diesel Heater Spare LCD and remote: Link
  • I’ve heard these heaters don’t shutdown if the LCD screen dies, so I bought a spare.
• Diesel heater Extension Pipe: Link
• Diesel Heater T fitting, 2 more pipes and 2 vents: Link
• MTI Industry 35-742-WT Safe-T-Alert Carbon Monoxide- Propane Leak Detector: Link
  • I Bought 2 of these.

Plumbing Parts

• Sharkbite Check Valve 1/2″: Link
• Sharkbite Tank Adapter for Fresh Water tank to Pex: Link

  • I ran out of T fittings and had to buy some from the store, cost way more than this pack. I should have just bought 2 packs

  • Sturdy enough and works well. Fit well. I spray foamed under it to give it a bit more rigidity
• RV External city water hookup: Link
  • It’s ok quality and has held up, but you have to be careful since it’s all plastic. I’d consider the one with the brass fitting next time. This one: Link
