Good thing you got a 2008 Heartland, that was the last year they were an independent and before their quality went to total poop after Thor took them over.

Test run with LFP in a heated compartment..I decided to go 100% LFP in my TC with a test run with one under the sink where it is heated..Fits fine,infact,if I took out the plastic battery box it would easily hold two lithium batteries in a heated space..I may do that but for now a temporary trial with a thermometer is in order..Such an easy fix for low temps and LFP..LOL

I disconnected the shore power and ran a cord to a power strip not to be charging off my ancient house converter...

Charging off of solar only for now.

Bought a little fan to move air from the main cabin to the somewhat enclosed cabover of my AF 992.
It really helps move heat to the bed!

Here's the details on the fan.

Pulled the POS Galley hatch and fan that comes in a Lance 1062 and installed a 900 CFM 4 speed maxxfan in its place. Still wish they had installed a hood with a descent fan instead of a crappy roof vent

Took the camper off my truck so I could get some truck maintenance items done in preparation for Ramblin' 2023 starting in June!

Replaced the external solar port that had undersized wire with a port that has 10 AWG wire. I also connected the solar port to a Victron 15amp MPPT controller.

video details of the project

It made no sense why a solar port with 14 AWG wire was connected to 8 AWG to go to the battery bank, which was twice as long as needed.

The desire to have an onboard MPPT controller instead of using the portable PWM controller that came with the portable panels is what prompted this project.
