- Needs Secondary power system — Phase 11 of the power system wires the radio off the house bank and lists the RFI mitigations. Doing the feedline routing before the DC runs are set is cheaper than moving them afterwards.
- Needs Rear bumper and recovery points — Spring rate follows load. Fit the heavy things first, weigh the truck, then choose springs.
- Needs Bed drawer and platform system — Same reason.
- Needs Secondary power system — Same reason. About 110 lb of it sits behind the driver.
- Needs Secondary power system — A compressor is a large intermittent draw and it belongs on the house bank, through the 12 V distribution the power system builds.
- Needs Secondary power system — Phase 06 of the power system suggests putting lighting and accessory circuits on the Load Disconnect relay so they shed at low state of charge, leaving Starlink and the radio on the essential side.
- Needs Secondary power system — A fridge runs continuously and it comes straight out of the house bank. It cannot be added without checking the electrical budget first.
Decide before you drill
Conflicts
Same space, same anchor points, or the same surface. One decision before either is built.
Anything added to the cab roof has to work around the dish's mount and its view of the sky. Check before drilling.
If the power system goes in the bed, the drawers and the enclosure are fighting for the same floor and the same anchor points. Decide the power system's route first.
The dish is already up there and it needs a clear view of the sky. Anything on the cab roof works around it.
Same floor, same anchor points.
The power system's DC feed and jump circuit both terminate on the start battery posts. Replacing the battery afterwards means redoing both terminations, so do it first if it is due.
