Mobile DC re-chargable power supply

[VernM]

Picture shows my mobile DC re-chargable power supply. Also, the container holds seven antennas for HF amateur radio thrugh 800 MHz digital scanning and ham bands and scanning in between. Carminah panels generate 190 watts of solar power to a Group 27 deep cycle battery through a GoPower regulator. There is 1,000 watts of 120 volts modified sine wave available, too, to feed the operator via microwave oven. Refrigerator, bed and lots of other stuff in there too for self-sustaining travel. All I need is Walmart and gasoline.

Okay, here's the radio stack from the driver's point of view. IC-718. MFJ Mobile Tuner (to the Hustler antennas), Icom IC-2100H 2 meter; Alinco DR-MO6 20-watt 6-meter for on the road and back country contact, and down there at the bottom, MFJ 22 Amp switching power supply for when hooked up to outside mains in campgrounds. Antennas, other than the Hustler, are all Larsen NMO black. The scanners are a BCT-8 in the overhead console and my BC796 back by the bed. It mostly monitors civil and military aircraft when I'm away from pre-programmed trunkers.

And here's the power management inside. From top (the yellow box) is the 1,000 modified syne wave AC supply. Below it is the solar charge controller. Below that is the battery in its case, which is vented outside (the little round vent visible above the AC hookup door on the side of the van.
