TH-cam went a bit funny with some comments. This one got dropped somehow: @philg2468 - 3 minutes ago - Comments: #1 How big is the alternator? Running 3 DCDC chargers (25A, 30A and 50A) is more than I expect your standard alternator can handle. I personally would just have one larger Lithium setup in the canopy and skip the one in the cab. Getting too complex unless the canopy is removable. #2 A 25A DC DC charger pulls about 32A so a 40A fuse is the minimum. #3 I'd power UHF all the time. When travelling with others you don't want the radio to drop out everytime you stop. #4 Currently with my Troopy I have 2x200Ah Lithium, 40A DC2DC charger, 240W solar and a 3000W inverter. If I want 240V power to our caravan or Tvan I just run the 15A caravan power cord. It means the camper and caravan do not need large battery setups and the vehicle batteries are recharging everytime you go for a drive.
Hi - I think the alternator is 130A. The canopy is only on the vehicle when I go camping. And if I take the canopy I won't be taking the camper (that's for when the missus comes camping). So only one of those 2 circuits gets used (at the same time). I've just updated my master diagram with a 40A fuse for the 25A DC/DC - thanks. Fair point about the UHF. I'll think about re-routing that. I'm not having 240v in the canopy, but the camper has a 3000W inverter. It also has 1200W of solar, so it should be fine to re-charge without a huge load on the alternator. Thanks for all that feedback - much appreciated.
I would not bother with the cowfish 5G range extender. With starlink. Your telatra or optus phone will work fine, with wifi calling, texts, ect. Just mount the mini to the roof, But make it removable. So if you camp under a tree. It can be relocated for reception. I've been using starlink for 2 years now. It has changed my whole perception of remote communication. I will be removing my Codan HF radio. After 20+ years of loyal operation.
Interesting! The reason I got the CowFish is so I don't have to keep up the subscription to StarLink when we're not remote. I've already bought it, so I'll install it and see what I think. I've used Cel-Fi Go up in the mid-north of SA and it worked really well, and Cowfish is supposed to be better than Cel-Fi Go. So I'll report back once it's installed and I can test it. Cheers - David

@@spudboy1328 Now that Roam is only $80p/m for 50Gig. I have not suspended my Starlink since June. Not a huge data user when on road.
