    Post favorite pics of your rig and trailer

    That's a great looking trailer, real close to what we want also. Do you have a build thread on it?

    From Jotto Desk Laptop to iPad

    What about the Ram mounts for airplane yokes, motorcycle handlebars, OS handles etc that clamp around a shaft? They seem to have the base attached, then either the Ram ball or the plate to mount the various Ipad holders they have. Looking at the picture you included, maybe just remove...

    WiFi Disk with built in 3000mah battery

    Good thought, I checked for one but no go. I did test it again after doing a reset on it, reinstalling the app and even though the WiFi speed was a bit better, it's still a really slow process. It took over 6 min to upload a 900mb video shot on the Ipad to an SD card. And again, when I played...

    WiFi Disk with built in 3000mah battery

    Yeah, agreed but I wanted to reset it and try a few more things before I sent it back. I really think it has great potential, but needs a good bit of tweaking.

    Rechargeable Battery Ideas for Ipad/ IPhone etc

    Thanks for the info and links, I've never seen that site before. With everything made in China nowadays, it's hard to know much about any of the products.

    WiFi Disk with built in 3000mah battery

    Update and testing of unit So after a few days of testing the unit, I have to say I'm not impressed with it much at all. Here's the rundown. After charging it up and downloading the App on my Ipad and Android phone I got to work. First, it's really slow at connecting to its own WiFi sitting...

    Rechargeable Battery Ideas for Ipad/ IPhone etc

    Well, I thought the idea of a small battery for in a tent recharging the Ipad would make some sense. I also planned to use it on some future bicycle touring we'd like to get into. I know a 12volt for sure is the way to go, Jackery is only 5V. I have a deep cell optima and it should be ok to...

    WiFi Disk with built in 3000mah battery

    I'm new to the Ipad3 and have been getting ready to take it on a short 3 day trip. My intentions are to use it as much as possible for filming and photos. I know it has its limitations, and internal storage is the challenge at hand. I have the 32gig model, and haven't put much on it at all. I...

    Rechargeable Battery Ideas for Ipad/ IPhone etc

    I purchased a Jackery Giant 10400mah battery pack for the sole purpose of charging my Ipad 3 and or phone while on a short trip. I know the Ipad has an 11500mah battery and after charging up the battery pack overnight, I plugged it into my 58% depleted Ipad. It took 4 hours to charge to 99% and...

    Computer needed for mobile APRS and navigation

    I know this is a bit late but I'm looking to do the same basic thing as the original poster. The only thing i'm thinking i would change is to run an external hard drive, maybe even 2 of them mirrored with all of my maps on them. I know that most people recommend the tough books for holding up...

    RTT vs Ground Tent to outfit your Expedition Trailer

    This has been a discussion of ours for some time now, and I'm still on the fence for a clear choice. I grew up using wall tents and teepees. We had wood stoves in the tents and it was always so nice and warm. We heated water and cooked on them as well. I had recently been thinking I would go...
