My outlets and appliances are turning off by themselves about every 15 minutes, meaning the fridge goes warm while we are away. I am on shore power and the battery is at 100%. Did I hit a timer…
Has anyone considered retrofitting, or suggesting that Pebble offer, a solar awning? It seems like a way to add solar capacity when roof space is limited.
Prepping for a trip and trying to find a way to keep the Pebble from going to sleep in order to keep the fridge and freezer on. Asked Scout and got the response below. As we currently r unable to…
I have access to the beta update for cameras, climate, and more, but never received the rollout email. Did the email explain settings such as Boondocking Mode and how to use them? Was there also a…
I have found the Pebble toilet works great if you put enough water into it. But, this is not great when trying to conserve water while boondocking.
I've towed in regen quite a bit; works great if you need to arrive charged up. For example, at some Harvest Hosts locations.
Thanks for all the detailed responses—this is super helpful. I like the idea of using a separate solar + battery system as a way to extend off-grid time rather than trying to rely on the trailer…
It looks like electric RVs may be getting more popular than we thought. I carefully evaluated both products when they were launched. I firmly believe both products are the future for RVs, but the…
Hey everyone, I’m trying to get a realistic sense of off-grid performance with the Pebble Flow and wanted to hear from people actually using it. I recently watched this video where they broke down…
Anyone considered adding a diesel heater via the gear tunnel?
We have had similar issues with the toilet—I feel your pain! We too rewatched the RV movie scene to make ourselves feel better and laugh it off. Sorry for TMI, but I would highly recommend traveling…
Headaches Or in landlubbers terminology, pain in the toilet. A macerating toilet (head) is wonderful, until it isn’t. As long-time sailors, my wife and I know the best practice: “Nothing goes into…
Winter Camping The good news is that the Pebble heating system worked great during a 15°F overnight low on this Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona trip. The cabin was comfortable, and the interior…
Competition goes live this morning at CES: Evotrex. But can they actually deliver at the estimated price and time frame? Some Pebble-matching features and some unique standout features—some I've seen…
I think it depends a great deal on circumstances: how much solar you’re getting, how long you run the HVAC, and how big a temperature differential you’re asking the HVAC to overcome. If it’s 95°…
I have little doubt I will be replacing the toilet after a year for boondocking purposes, but I’m determined to use my Pebble as ordered at first. I’m also adding a simple bidet toilet seat. I will…
An overnight transfer from an R1T to a Pebble using the 110V R1T outlet (1,500 W) could add +/- 18 kWh, not accounting for inverter, charger, and other losses, to the Pebble’s 45 kWh pack. My R1T Max…
Watched a Pebble Flow review. I’d be thrilled to get the range shown with a Cybertruck on my Rivian, but not likely. The noise and performance of the heat pump experienced was disappointing, but…
We picked up our Pebble on 11/19 and are making our way back home, towing with our R1T. We camped in Hole in the Wall Campground, Mojave National Preserve, for our first off-grid night in the new…
I am moving from an Airstream and towing with an R1T. My delivery window is rather wide at this point. One question: have you gone with no spare tire? We boondock in some very remote spots in…
