#Airstreamer control panel generator#

We'd like to thank Samlex America for sponsoring this post, and giving us the time to really dig deep and get into the nitty gritty details. This setup has been solid as a rock, and one of the main reasons we’ve waited so long to write this is that we really wanted to make sure that we could wholeheartedly recommend the setup after real world usage.Īs you'll see below, writing, photographing, and illustrating all this information was a herculean task.

And I can count on one hand the number of times we’ve had to pull out the generator to top the batteries off - all of which involved lots of trees blocking our panels. Keep in mind we’re a family of 6 living, working, and homeschooling with this power setup full time. We get around.Īnd now we’ve setup shop permanently on our off-grid desert homestead using the same system day in and day out. We’ve been using this setup for over 4 years living mostly off the grid ( boondocking), but also in campgrounds, friends’ driveways, and even at farms and wineries. Hint - there are sooo many things in-between! In this article we’ll look at the actual installation - from wires to connectors to switches to relays and fuses and everything in between. The first part of this series provides a high level overview on all that, so you may want to go read it first. Please read our disclosure for more info.įor us, one of the perks of renovating our vintage Airstream was that we got to design not only the interior and layout, but also the entire power system from the ground up.
