I would recommend using 12 gauge wire to minimize resistive loss which could effect how the regulator on the back of the panel functions. This wire is too stiff and heavy for direct connection to the panel, so I recommend adding a foot of 18 gauge wire to the panel end of the 12 gauge wire.

Yes you can with a few millamps lost due to distance. I am using with 15 foot of extension cord from battery tender on a 1990 Chevy Suburban that is used occasionally for towing in the summer. Sets the rest of the year unless my compact car is not in the shop. Works well for long term storage. Just Don,t forget to treat the gas properly for the vehicle if in long term storage.

Yes, I purchased the extension for use in maintaining the batteries in our motor home, works just fine.

we just installed this in december and left them at out hunting camp for the winter. I didn't see any problems but to say without any doubt I will have to check back this April

This type of electrical appliance needs a 20 amp circuit. The maximum extension cord you could run would be a 12/3 at 50'. I would not run more than 25' and would use a 12/3 extension cord.

I put a 25 ft extension on mine and it doesn't make a notable difference. Of course there is always some but with mine I didn't notice anything. They are really short for any room unless it's a really small room do extension cords are the way to go.

I've not been able to get it to work thru 55' plus a wall/open window. I've switched back to the old style PR-US2 which says it's not good for as far, but it works better in our space.

Good luck, I had mine 25 feet line of sight with no obstruction and it fail to work properly

I run mine on a 24ft pontoon and it trolls great. You shouldn't have any problem.

yes you can make sure it is not longer than 25ft and is a heavy duty construction grade for best results.

I have a 25' extension which I ordered from Amazon. If you need 50' then I guess that you could use two or check with Karcher if they have or if there are 3rd party hoses available. The unit is very good with the exception of the placement of the input connection on the front of the unit - the unit can VERY easily tip over with both the input and output on the front. I have no idea what the designers were thinking - dumb - there certainly was no "user" testing!

I'm sure you can extend the length with no problem. Just buy the correct gauge and use good connectors. It would be a very easy project.

No, I just measured; looks like 38 or 39 inches would be the maximum extension.

Absolutely, yes. The total "head" of your installation is only 3 feet, which is much less than the rated 15-20 feet. Should have no problem.

We use a 100 feet 14-gauge and there was no porplem at all. I'd say give it a try and if it doesn't work with your 12- gauge extension cords. Send it back for refund.

Yes, I'm using is it in a 75ft or so application and it works fine. No issues so far.

I contacted Garden Sun. They make a 16' extension they say works with this but I needed more so just bought some cheap outdoor wire and made my own. Solder your connections and heat shrink them.

Power cord the shorter the better with the range mine is on a 25' extension and a power strip works but some time looses connection cord works better without the power strip

Yes you can partially extend the awning. It cranks out flat and can stop at any point.

I know from 1/4" drip irrigation lines that you're not supposed to extend them too far, because the water pressure and so the flow rate from the drippers declines the farther the along the line the drippers are. For that stuff 25' is the max the manufacturer recommends.
