    Our Big Beard Battery Installation completed. We can officially live off grid with state of the art solar system. We have made some huge upgrades but this is one of the top notch additions. Thank you to a wonderful family owned business in the heart of Texas. We suggest if interested to call or email directly. At the end of the video we run into a situation that leaves me speechless! Thank you for watching and yes the end will be explained with an interesting outcome.

    Wow! Wow! What an awesome setup. You have got to give some specs. I believe you said 900AH in lithium batteries. Welcome to the club. After we boondocked one time with our lead acid batteries, the first thing we did was to upgrade to a 400AH lithium battery and upgraded our solar charge controller. It cost us but we have no regrets. On our 2024 summer road trip, we went 13 days straight on battery (got down to 25%) and we only have a 100 watt solar panel (no generator). Our rig is much smaller than yours and we rarely use the AC. When on battery, power management is a must. No keeping on unused sources of power draw. Looking forward to seeing you all go on an extended boondocking journey. Safe Travels!

    Very nice set up Bandits. I'm currently sitting in the desert in Quartzsite, Arizona on BLM land. Living completely off grid with my 2100 Watt Solar Array and 1000ah Lithium Battery bank. Have been boondocking currently for 21 days with ZERO hookups. This is what you will be able to do with your system if you chose to.

    I have one solar panel the only thing I use it for is letting the slide in and out and using the power jack, needles to say I can still use the lights inside but not the air conditioning. I can say Solar is more than handy it’s a way to sustain sufficiently. If one wants to live off grid and can afford a package as such yourselves I say hands down I believe that’s the way to go.

We have 3200watts of solar on the roof, and 400ah of lithium on a 48v system. We are able to run everything on our setup for a little while. We have used it at Harvest Hosts, and did a little FREE Boondocking down at the Istokpoga Water Management Area in Florida. We plan on going to the Texas Coast, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and wherever else the winds take us.

    I guess the question that we all have with "Solar" is, is the cost worth it? I know that asking how much someone paid for something is an awkward and personal question, but I think knowing how much solar you guys got and how much the total cost was would help people make the decision for themselves if the cost for solar is worth it or not. Great video. Thanks for sharing!

      @scottmichaels12 I researched a similar solar set it was about 15-20 k it’s super nice but if you’re not doing a considerable amount of off grid camping the size weight and complexity may not be economically feasible for most I personally thought about it for my unit but I spend 95% at a hookup site the other 5% would be overnight rest during transit on upcoming transcontinental travel
