other than military flight the farthest north i have ever been was york pa and that wasnt very long. in and out and back to lejeune

I'm a pilot and a SCUBA diver. The things increased or decreased pressure can do are important in those endeavors. Strap your watch on tight at the surface and go down 33 feet....it will be flopping around on your wrist because you just doubled the pressure on your body and it compressed.
One thing it DOESN'T do is found in every hollywood movie where a door or window fails..... if you're sitting right next to the window you could get sucked out....but it is INSTANTANEOUS and it doesn't keep sucking things out. Just a lot of noise and turbulence.
I'm not sure how far north I've been....probably somewhere in N Dakota or Montana unless it was those two weeks at Extreme Cold Weather training in Minnesota.... but I've been through the York PA area. Furthest south in the U.S. was probably Hawaii.
We plan to take our skoolie to the 4 corners of CONUS and hundreds of places in between as well as up to Alaska

Thanks for this thread

We also bought a growatt. We will have 2570 watts of QCells on top. And we will be visiting these areas soon. Knowing that we may need an extra fan gives us the opportunity to build that in now. Great work everyone!!

Growatt vs Victron

I have a complete Growatt 12 kva system at home my mother board has fried and am waiting for Sig Solar to send me a new board. In shipment as I write. I was looking at a Victron replacement but I see the output drops of considerably with heat. The Growatt outputs the same up to realistic user temps. The Victron 10 kva drops to 6 kva at 40 c. Something to consider.

We will either have the Batteries, Controllers, and Victron in an inside closet (well vented) within the air conditioned space or in a water proof underside box with high volume fan for air movement and, if needed, the ability to pump A/C into the bay using a fan from the living area.
