Model 3 Towing Related:
Tekonsha 119250 Trailer light wiring Adaptor for Model 3, this is the simple kit without extra wire and padding:
https://amzn.to/2LSLzPp
This one (119251) with more wiring and padding costs quite a bit more, so I’m trying out the above one first. https://amzn.to/30nT4RP
Trailer light wiring tester:

Relay I’m using for the precharge circuit to use a 700W inverter on my Model 3, works well so far.
https://amzn.to/30uwgj9
Here is a 200 Amp version with better reviews. Realistically I would use this for loads under 100 Amps and only with large wires to draw away heat. It’s pretty small.

Experimental Projects:
I’m starting to play with the SONOFF S31 WiFi Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring, it’s hackable with the Tasmota firmware. I’m setting it up to automatically stop charging power tool batteries around 90% for longer life.
I hope to write up a blog post to cover it.

LiFe BMS with low temp cutoff. So far I’m happy with this 12V BMS. It has an iPhone app, watches state of charge and just works well from what I can see. Great for making your own 12V battery block.
https://amzn.to/2B3mi00
It seems to be well supported by “OverkillSolar” on a thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OverkillSolarBMS/
100 Amp Hour Lithium battery that uses the above style BMS. 200A continuous load with low temperature charge cutoff as well as a reasonable price. I’m liking this one.

Low cost Modified Sine Wave Inverter. I like the size of this one for fitting behind the Westfalia drivers seat. I’ll report how it works when I test it.

Trolling motors:
This 110 lb rated BLDC unit is working great on a 24′ McGregor Sailboat. Does about 3.5 knots.

EDIT: For some reason this link now goes to some other motor, sad Amazon seller shenanigans.
This looks like the one I bought: https://amzn.to/3s6IMYW
Or, This 86 lb rated Brushed DC.

“This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol, Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life”
