Thank you.....Those lights would seem to be fine for my 2019 30FW then. I saw a few comments on Amazon of a flicker problem but you have "Real World" experience. I will order a set of both low and high beam.

Figured out a way to attach a sewer hose carrier.

Looks good. I had added one of those to my Isata 3. I guess the hose storage on the inside of the Isata 5 door is not sufficient for say the Rhino hose and fittings? We pickup our Isata 5 sometime in the next few weeks, so will be starting down the mods path soon.

No, maybe it wasn't, but we added a sewer hose holder to the door and it does fit, I think a 15' Rhino, with fittings.

Where's that at? I'd like to see it.

Neither of my hoses with fittings fit in that storage area as it's not wide enough for the fittings. I guess BClemans fixed that now with a new area. I have my hose in a plastic container w/ lid.

I have the RhinoExtreme hose and the carrier on the cargo door only holds a 5 ft. piece. You can put 15 ft in the carrier I added.
The center supports are pipe hangers from Home Depot, that I painted black.

Shunt Cover
Shunt Cover...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QDQRX7P
Dozen to choose from. I liked this one because it already had the cut-outs and grommets and had the ears for attaching to the side wall. I removed the terminal bar. Fit over without having to relocate the shunt.

WeBoost...
Added a couple of 12v sockets behind the driver's seat to power the WeBoost and charge the Dyson. Added a 12v switch to turn it on and off when needed.
(I suppose I have given up my right to complain about the appearance of keyless transmitter. )

FYI, we don't have that luxury as we have to go by what the panel is rated at. As I recall they re rated at about 10amps. So we can only put 3 (thought Go Power says 4 officially)

I called Go Power prior to install to ask about the OEM controller capacity because I wanted to add FOUR panels. They did not recommend 600 watts with that controller but said 5 would be totally fine.
FWIW - at its highest output in pretty ideal conditions for this time of year in the north east I have only seen the 5 panels produce 19.3 amps. On decent days they average around 13 amps.

It's your rig, you can do what you want. I'm just saying by code its rated at 8.3-ish amps per panel??? So when the electrical engineer lays it out, we have to size wiring and controller based off rated output, not actual. Thus, we end up with 3 panel max.
On the 28SS, we did an 800 watt system, but had dual 40 amp MPPT controllers.

So did you drill out the center of the hub cover like was discussed in the Crossfire thread?
We pickup our Isata 5 on March 11 and I am making my mods list. I definitely think this is worthwhile.

Yes. I did almost exactly the same thing as sseaner posted in his CF thread.
5-inch hole saw is perfectly sized for the hub caps.
I used this to touch up the edges:
Molotow Liquid Chrome Alcohol Pump Marker, 4mm,

Exactly. I could have upgraded the controller to add more panels but I would have had to relocate it and thought that was more trouble than it was worth.

CORRECTION: 6-inch Hole Saw - not 5

Brian - What kind of plate did you mount the WeBoost on, and where did you make entry into the unit, did you just drill a new hole or use existing looks like you have some kind of special cover at cable entrance into inside the unit. I am assuming the caulking is just dicor self leveling sealant?
