  • No need to plug in THIS mobile workshop! The lights'll stay on even when there is no power elsewhere. Well..for now, at least there'll be cold beer. The first three, big solar panels are installed and wired to the a battery bank via a charge controller. It's a big step towards getting this project where I envisioned it. Even though the lights aren't hooked up yet, progress feels like it's steamrolling now. Let's hope the train keeps going and everything stays on track.

    Bondo for the holes on the outside. It's much easier than fiberglass work. I miss my Friend David and mine fishing adventures at your kayak place.

    You gotta pull load off and charge off a series pack like that diagonally positive off the first battery and negative off the last, otherwise your batteries will discharge unequally and also will not charge equally. You should also make sure all the batteries are fully charged before trying to charge the entire pack through one input.

    Hey, Marty, why don't you come down and just go right under the edge into that aluminum? And then down to the inside that top aluminum, you can always caulk it on the outside around the wires. And you won't have to put a hole through the roof just a suggestion

    Hi Marty. Why not run some conduit down the outside of the workshop and come up underneath where you already have the ingress? That way you can give the cable a drip bend and not have to worry about waterproofing?

    I doubt you want your trailer in the sun. It would get way too hot. Maybe mount your solar panels on another trailer with full exposure.

    Hey Marty, are you allowed to do some tree trimming above the shop?

    why not run the cables from the solar panels, down the side of the trailer, and up through the floor. Easier to waterproof floor rather than the roof where rain threatens to leak.

    Great video Marty. Have you talked to Mike Steen since you guys went your separate ways?

    You need to get yourself a battery shunt. You can’t monitor the batteries correctly without one. They aren’t that expensive.

    I think the solar will be 50% in the shade. Good luck on your politics view.

    I love your videos over the years. You might want to keep the snipits of politics out of it, you could easily lose subscribers the way times are today. Sad thing!

      Don't be so soft, a majority of your favorite entertainment sources don't agree with you politically and that's ok. Not a big deal

    Great video Marty; Solar is a good way to go if you can afford the panels/controllers and batteries and a converter to operate AC devices. We are forecast for a really busy hurricane season this year, off grid may be a blessing. 73 GOD bless Earnest k5ewm.

    Loving the project so far! What a build! You have some of the coolest ideas brought to execution I’ve seen on the platform. What color are you thinking of painting it?
