I've got a 2015 3500 SRW with the Cummins. It's a great truck. Engine, exhaust brake AND the interior. Who would have guessed 5 years ago that a Ram would have a top notch interior?

Ordered our 29BHDS on 11/24. Picked up 2/19. But that includes Christmas and New Years that surely slowed it down a little.

Double edge safety razor is the way to go. Pack of 100 blades is less than $15 and will last a long time. Razor itself is metal and should basically last forever.

Picked up our 29BHDS last week and realized it has an underslung coupler... Doh! Good news is that Amazon will return the Blue Ox for the BXW1503 model that's meant for an underslung coupler.

Haha, and thanks. No updates recently to this. But we did pick up our trailer last Friday and camped last weekend. Hoping to get the solar setup installed in the next few weeks.

It took me a second to remember why I used those breakers... :help:

There's a good Youtube video from Midnite Solar about their DC breakers.

29BHDS solar

I believe that's a 12V breaker. The ones in the box are DC breakers rated to 150V.

My solar input will be at 30V (parallel) or 90V (series).

Yep, you basically nailed it!

Red disconnect on left side is a disconnect between charge controler and battery? This is just a general purpose battery disconnect from the rest of the system.

The Titan XD 4x4 in the SL trim (not top of the line) has MSRP of $55k. My 4x4 Ram 3500 SLT w/ Cummins had MSRP of $58k. I don't see the value yet but I'm sure they have a target market identified.

I always read that there are no good mount points for car seats in motorhomes. That the dinette is just nailed/screwed down to the subfloor. Maybe thats changed.

Yes... MPPT will change output voltage to meet the batteries voltage and also change the amperage so that no power is lost. PWM on the other hand will change the voltage but won't up the amperage....
