- Online buyer guide with 3 power builds by budget
Replaces the notebook of half-remembered figures, and finding out on a scale at the state line that the build was over payload the whole time.

Who it's for
- Anyone about to build or buy who has not yet weighed the vehicle on a scale
- Owners wiring their own 12V system who want the fuse and cable sizing worked through once, correctly
- Anyone choosing between a sealed power station and a wired lithium bank
- Full-time and long-trip travellers who need a dated maintenance habit, not just a build day
Who made this
Built by the OverlandSetup team, the people behind the free calculators and build guides on this site, from manufacturer specifications, ABYC E-11 wiring guidance and vehicle certification-label documentation. Researched, not a substitute for a qualified installer.

Questions
How do I get it?
Pay on the secure Stripe checkout and you land straight on your download page: the full PDF, a ZIP of every sheet as its own printable page, and the companion spreadsheet. Bookmark that page to download again later.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. Print as many copies as you need, for this build and the next one. The logs and the maintenance schedule are made to be reprinted every season.
What if it is not what I expected?
Use the whole kit. If it does not help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.
Do the worksheets replace a qualified installer?
No. They are researched guidance for sizing and planning, not an electrical certification. Have any lithium installation and any load-bearing recovery point inspected by a qualified installer before it carries load.
Does the payload sheet work for any vehicle?
The method is universal: door-jamb figures against a CAT scale ticket, axle by axle. The numbers themselves are specific to your exact vehicle as built, options included, which is the whole reason the sheet has you read your own sticker rather than a brochure figure.
