AGM batteries? UGH! Temporary lithium / solar fix for our Airstream
Lithium portable batteries can be a lifesaver when traveling, but our Airstream Globetrotter only came with two AGM batteries. So what can i do before I do our large Lithionics and 3000W inverter upgrade? Okmo sent me their Portable Power Station 1000W and 100W Solar panel that I will be taking with us for extra power.
With a solar generator of this size, you can power coffee machines and other high watt appliances that you may not be able to otherwise.

I plan on using this unit, as it performed will for what I will need it for.

We carry a Jackery 500 for those off grid times. Similar unit I believe and also comes with a 100 watt panel. Previous trailer had one of those 12 volt fridges but did not care for it. A constant power suck, and even with 200 amp hours of AGM, at 3 to 6 amps it does not take long to use up that power. Current trailer is back to a 2 way gas/electric fridge so that DC fridge load is gone. In addition to the jackery, we have a 100 watt panel that we plug directly to the trailer batteries when off grid. For our minimal power usage it is our water that will run out before the batteries. Water is good for 5 days or more even showering each once a day (rv shower of course), and as long as there is a bit of sun here and there, batteries stay fine. No AC though so for cooling we depend on cloud cover and/or breeze. As always, safe travels……
Brandon, I sent several emails to Pagosa hoping they would be forwarded to you. If you are interested in reviewing a LTV RL on your YouTube channel and/or you want a printout of the 2019 Mercedes service schedule with (local) 2021 & 2022 pricing please let me know. My 2020 Unity has multiplex wiring, autogen start, & the overhead LED rope lighting that LTV will be incorporating into all new Unity models.
Hi my name is Kedge is the new 23 wonder the same size as the unity? Thank you
Pretty awesome temporary solution and a nice back up if needed in the LTV. Thanks.
.. Take the LTV?..
