How to Build a Truck Toolbox with Storage Drawers! (Part 15) - Mounting the Solar and Electrical!

Day 9, Part 15 - Mounting the Solar Panels and Electrical Components

Dave needs more room for his Tools and they won't all fit in the Converted Cargo Trailer! In this Truck Toolbox I will have enough Storage Drawers to hold all my Tools, Nuts and Bolts, Cooking Gear and a Portable Solar Generator with 5 Solar Panels. Plus with the Solar Panels on the Pickup Truck and the Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery from BigBattery, I can power all my electrical gear from the back of the Truck.

This project is almost complete. I mounted the Renogy Solar Panels, Victron Orion DC-DC Charger, Victron MPPT Charge Controller, Giandel 2000/4000 Watt Inverter and the BigBattery Owl 170 AH Lifepo4 Battery.
