    My goodness! Electrically sufficient!

    Can you tell me about your exterior 120v outlet cover? Does it seal well against 'driving' rain (like at 60mph)?

    Where did you get it? Brand?

    Thanks!

    Hi chan, the outside outlet comes standard with the 2021 TB. I had just to rewire one of the outlet to be inverter outlet. The cover holds well with any speed. I went 85 mil/hr and it is good. Have not raced with the TB yet to see if it holds more than 85mil/hr. Hahaha

    Great post! How are you connecting your solar charge controller with the batteries and the switch? Are you able to select which battery the charge controller is charging?

    Hi Jax,

    there are 2 solar charge controllers. One that came with the TB and the solar panel on top of TB. That system is separate from the second battery and solar case. The solar case hocks to outside ASE outlet, a wire was setup so that this outlet goes to the inside second solar controller that is connected to battery #2 and charges it. 

    Regards
