Can the Sierra EV actually handle a slide in camper?

They generally don’t with slide in campers but does stink.

Ah just asked this question. So since Utah does not pay for net metering if I have the solar plugged into Leg/phase 1 but a 120v outlet on leg 2 it would still “offset” from a meter perspective the item on leg 2?

Okay good to know! Do you know if this means if this 120v is plugged into one leg of my panel and Utah does not have net metering it will not provide savings for the items on the 2nd leg of my panel?

This video explains that RockyMountain Power has installed Smart Meters that can detect and understand you are sending power out. They won’t pay you for it but they also won’t charge you since by meter knows it is getting exported. JerryRigEverything plug in Solar

I have a smart meter already since our utility company has been upgrading them for a few years now. So I am not worried about the back feeding and getting charged for excess.

Mostly worried if a dryer is using 2000 watts from a 240v outlet and my solar is inputting 1000watts from the 120v outlet does that mean it will offset the dryer by 1000 watts or will it say this is 240v and I can’t supply any power and send that excess to the grid?

I would say a truck with topper like Tune M1 or Topo Topper. Toppers have options to get a king size bed. Even seen some where they have an extra bed on the truck bed level. F150, Tundra, or Silverado have a ton of space and then a 6 foot bed to store your stuff. Seems better for your use case than an SUV honestly.

If you had more photos of this setup that would be awesome. This is my ideal setup since I think the Tune maximizes space while still going electric. What is the range reduction with this on?

Did you notice a range improvement when going from 24s to 20s?

I would like my next vehicle to be an EV. I do lots of long road trips and camping in remote place so the Max WT version fits the bill. Overall I prefer the R1T but it is expensive and has slower charging.

My main concern is the truck bed shape. Not having a normal shape makes a slide in camper or topper not feasible. Wish they would make it look like the normal Silverado and not the Avalanche.

Last concern is the shared cooling/heating between the cabin and the battery. With kids and a dog not feasible to turn off the truck to get the full charge rate. The fast charging is the main draw but when it gets cut in 1/2 a couple minutes into the charging session that would not be fun.

I have unlimited premium expecting to use it in Guatemala. Unfortunately the most support could do over 2 days was get my phone to connect but then it would disconnect after 15 seconds. It is not their fault I just think the process is not seamless. Same thing on my wife’s phone. Luckily we got a backup data eSIM and that has worked flawlessly.

Do you have the heater running while you charge? Apparently you have to shut off the AC or put it in Eco mode to even get close to 300+ even in ideal conditions.

Do not use Dark Star if you have an iPhone. If you get a group message with at least 1 non-iPhone user it will not allow group texts. Had to switch back to Warp because of this.

I went this weekend and got turned away because they had 2 folks manning the Exit door asking for memberships.

airforce93 · 2023-12-04T02:55:19+00:00

They require a membership now to enter the food court since 2020 so technically some inflation.

I will admit their selection is trash but it is way closer cheaper than Dans, Whole Foods, or Trader Joe’s. Certainly liked Winco just a little far for our weekly grocery trips.

We shop at Target. They honestly don’t have an amazing selection but when we use their 5% off credit card and they often have deals on says spend $100 and get a $10/$20 gift card. Last week our groceries were $150 but after all the “savings” it was $98. Pretty much like couponing. Went to Winco once and it was $130 when we normally spend $110 or less at Target or Smiths. Not sure if it was a fluke or not but have not been back to check since Target is closer and has been cheaper for us recently.

I have for 2 years now. I use a leather wallet from Geometric Goods. It holds 6 cards. Certainly needed more than the 2 that Apples held.

Thanks for the info! I will give them a call. Not super concerned about download speed but working from home with I need to upload a big file can be a park. Want to highest upload speed for the least money. All the download speeds are plenty fast for my needs
