Seems to be working fine after a few months of installation

Seems to be working well after a few months of installation. Used this to replace one from another brand that kept breaking. I wish it had stiffer bezel options as this was mounted near the bottom where it was often kicked and hit with other debris while riding.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • No

A little tight, but very well thought out.

is about 2 months old and still works perfectly. beautiful. I compared this panel to competitors and found this to be the best bang for my buck. I'm still a bit unhappy that the patch panel is all plastic (no metal box), but switch and outlet boxes have been plastic for decades with minimal issues, so I'm willing to move with the times.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Secret

Works well, instructions are not written at entry level

Works well so far. My only comment is that the instructions are a bit opaque for a beginner. I built mine into my little homemade teardrop pendant. It took a lot of reading and thinking and I ended up making my own little cheat sheet using the PD4045 User Guide combined with lots of information from the Teardrops & Tiny Trailers forum. I'm NOT an electrician, but in case anyone finds it useful, I've posted my cheat sheet.

Pros
  • Solid surface
Cons
  • Transparency

Great for teardrop campers

This panel works very well in my teardrop camper. It takes a little research to figure out how to connect it, but it's pretty easy once you find a good guide.

There are 12 wires coming out of the panel for 12v positive but you need to run the negative wire to the rail and run the wire back to the…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • No automatic

Installation guide is very bad

Guide is very bad! What they don't mention is that four ground wires need to be separately connected to the system (and grounded separately in your setup): one to an external bus bar dedicated (you need to purchase separately) for the DC installation of your device DC -Lamps, fans, etc. (red and black wire connectors on the back of the box), one on the AC bus inside the box (bottom right rear) and one on the battery connector on the DC side of the box (top left of the box) and one on the…
