S3: Vlog #49. Leadville | Twin Lakes

May, 2023

After two weeks exploring the Canon City area, Wyatt and I head north into the mountains through Twin Lakes and Leadville into Carbondale.
Along the way, I discover one of my new favorite places in Colorado, I eat the best burrito of my life, and finally do some laundry.

My Solar Setup:

This is my second setup I've installed in Vandalf the Grey. The more you travel, the more you figure out what your needs are. I've stuck with Renogy products both times, because I literally have had zero issues with them. They just work the first time. Every time. I am a Renogy affiliate, so if you use this link, you'll receive 10% off your purchase, and Wyatt and I will get a bit of gas money. http://73renogy.refr.cc/johnnyg
- (2) 100 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Solar Panel
https://bit.ly/3lYqsM3
- DCC30S 12V 30A Dual Input DC-DC On-Board Battery Charger with MPPT (this was a game changer! MUCH faster charging than my previous charge controller + it charges the battery while driving, if necessary)
https://bit.ly/3yFv7Gm
- Deep Cycle Hybrid GEL Battery 12 Volt 200Ah (I AM sold on the advantages of lithium ion, HOWEVER, I don't feel the costs have quite reached the value yet.)
https://bit.ly/3lUAi1m
- 700W 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter (This is plenty for me. I use it for charging of devices, a fan, significant LEDs, and that's it. Go bigger if you're planning on a fridge, etc).
