I did my entire build for less than 10k, but only because I did everything myself, and didn't hire anyone else out.

Your most single most expensive items will be;

Solar system- Amazon is a great place to get parts and batteries

Refrigerator- Haggle with your local RV parts place! If you can call around and let them compete amongst themselves. "Well ___ said they could get it to me for $$..."

Oven- I love having an oven in my place, since there's no quick microwave to reheat food with. https://www.amazon.com/Camp-Chef-Camping-Outdoor-Burner/dp/B0013LLSZG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1513190928&sr=8-4&keywords=camp+oven

[20 gallons from Amazon ](class a customs | t-2000 | one (1) rv fresh water 20 gallon tank, grey water https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07659973Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_fabc_WR74E77E34GM4DS3R7X8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)

Last night I used a LiFepo4 wall charger I bought on Amazon to make sure that my 206ah SOK battery was topped off before leaving on a trip, because my solar is not yet complete.

When I woke up this morning the charger was off, so I disconnected it. I then noticed the red light flashing on next to the battery icon on my charger controller, I then switched on the inverter and it immediately put out a high pitch sound and displayed “HI”. I turned off the inverter and checked my battery monitor to see the crazy output you see in the photo above.

What do I do to fix this?

Here’s the wall charger I used… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074X1QK2R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_QXJBYM5WVJ6ZBM7PN31D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

A little bit of sharp metal left over from cutting holes to run wiring. They’re suggesting putting these in the holes as to not snag any wiring.

Its as simple as purchasing a wifi antenna, a usb wifi dongle with a removable antenna. Make sure the ends are compatible and you are good to go. I cant guarantee the linked products have compatible ends but you can get SMA adapters If its a male/female issue.

So I decided on the gauge at the recommendation of an electrician friend of mine. Maybe I’m not understanding how this all works but I thought it was the current from the battery bank that I was sizing the wire for. This is a repair for a rig that I bought with everything already wired. They used 4 gauge wire and there was a fire. The two cables that connected the battery bank to the inverter melted but there were no other wires damaged. I was originally looking at 4/0 wire cause the amazon reviews for the inverter said that the supply wire should be that size. Do you think all the wire in the system need to be that size?

You would probably want to get a direction antenna (maybe something like this yagi antenna) for your wifi adapter / router so you can get good signal at a distance.

this will improve your latency and throughput. You could also do something like using one device hooked up to your 4g connection to stream from and the other device hooked up to whatever wifi is around for gaming (or vice versa depending on signal quality of 4g/wifi in the area).

that would give you the benefit of splitting up the bandwidth load and give you better latency on the connection that your are gaming from.

you may need to step down the bitrate of your stream though if you are on a bad link.

best of luck to you.
