12V Boondocking electrical system, complete, under $2k

If anyone is interested, the linked page includes a pdf download of the system diagrams and list of parts with prices.

This is the standard 12v boondocking system we install for off-grid/hunting boondocker rigs. Also use it in my personal hunting CTC which is usually a week to 10 days and have been very pleased with it, rarely go below 75% on the battery even on short winter days.

Posted this back in Feb, but just got this ad from WeBoost today, so I thought I would repost in case anyone is looking for such a device, they are very simple to make.
Antenna mount, or anything else that needs to be lowered during travel.
Because I nearly choked at the cost of a factory unit, I made my own out of some scrap angle and about $10.00 worth of spacer, nut, and bolt.
A 3/8" shoulder bolt was the expensive part, about $6 at Ace, also used a nylon spacer and nylock nut to keep everything snug and secure.
Operation is completely toolless with the PTO pin to hold in place. Simply pull the pin, rotate, and reinsert the pin.
The roof mount is just some wood scrap held in place with Eternabond tape, it has been on the roof for over 6,000 miles with my original plastic mount that didn't last. No holes in the roof using the tape.
Painted with VHT epoxy paint, that stuff just lasts.
