I have a 2025 ford F-350 SD, with a GFC max on the back. (The true mullet of setups with business up front and a party in the back)
I recently purchased a red arc pioneer50 Power hub. And two heated LiTime lipo 320ah batteries I’m looking to mount in the back for my house battery setups, in addition to two of the 200w solar panels(from GFC) on the roof.
I’m trying to figure out a mounting solution for the panel itself, as well as some type of sturdy enclosure that will live in the bed mostly, however when the trucks sitting for long periods of time not running the roads afford me the option to remove said enclosure and the batteries to keep them indoors and limit exposure to extreme heat or cold unnecessarily. (So the goal would be for quick and il easy install and removal for the battery enclosure)
At this time I don’t really intend to do a full bed buildout as I still from Time to time have to use the truck for truck stuff. Which is a blessing and a curse.
I in theory could mount the panel on the front driver side of the Molle panel where my cap to cab window is I’d just have to invert it from a horizontal to vertical orientation and THINK it would just fit.
I’m open to any and all suggestions.
Ive considered maybe a Milwaukee pack out case for the batteries, or a Alu box or zarges case for the batteries.
In addition I need to locate a home and clean accessible solution for the TVMS rogue LCD display to mount and be accessible from the bed and preferably near the exterior of the truck. I do have plans and am on the wait list for the GFC diesel heater which may provide a mounting option on the back of that for the TVMS Rogue display on the backside of that.
I know it’s a relatively new unit and setup at least as an all inclusive bundle but I’m hoping someone on here has had some experience with potentially a similar setup, or maybe all of these units Separately.
I don’t have a TON of power needs. 12v fridge, STARLINK mini, and camper lights. As well as the ability to plug in accessories (usb-a/c), Anderson connections, 12v cigarette adapter. So I’ll also have to make something as a little panel that’s accessible to wire up all of these receptacles accessible from both in and from the rear of the truck preferably. Tall ask I know. But Im Hoping with some Planning and ingenuity it can be done.
Thanks in advance!
