If I was to go back to midsize it would probably be with a Nissan Frontier despite the whole DI maintenance needed at 100,000 miles. Can get it in a long bed and still has a NA engine with not a lot of tech to go wrong. It's a solid design. Also the price is significantly lower than the...

Nice! I have this NOCO inlet into my topper to a lithium battery charger for the house lithium battery. Use the other plug for whatever AC needs while camping if AC is available. Works well

https://shop.explorist.life/shop/all-products/switches-disconnects/solar-ground-deploy-plug/ There is that one. I need to get one for solar input through my topper. As far as a trickle charger. I use a CTEK 7002 for charging duties. It came with a pigtail that is compatible with the...

I didn't read the entire thread so you probably already have an answer. I have a Battle Born 100aH battery that lives in the bed of my truck 365. I called Battle Born a few years ago because I was worried leaving the batteries in the truck all winter. They stated that it's ok to leave them in...

I would do one of these to maintain the starter battery and a different panel for the house battery/batteries. https://www.lensunsolar.com/Hood-Solar-Panel/Land-Rover-Hood-Solar Cascadia also makes something similar.

Yeah you may be right. If they screw this up too much, they may not be around long.

Didn't read the whole thread but I would choose the Nissan Frontier hands down over all the others if I was going back to a midsize truck. Between the price, long bed option with a double cab, NA motor, proven reliability, increasing aftermarket support, etc,....I feel it's the best choice. YMMV

So kind of like owning a Mercedes Sprinter van. Again, it's a brand new start up. Knowing that it's probably smart to wait a couple of years as I'm sure things will improve on every level unless the company goes under.

Except Ford has been doing roll outs for over a 100 years. So IMO this brand new company, with their first ever roll out, gets a pass.

Is this for a crew max or a double cab?

Some over the seat panniers may work. I just bought some from Enduristan an they have works well, but this is on a Tenere 700. Maybe these would work better for a sport bike? https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sedici-20l-dry-bag-saddlebags?sku_id=10041603 or these...

Devaluing the US dollar aggressively has consequences. I'll ride out my $39K 2020 Tundra as long as I can. After that I won't be getting anything new.

I have a 160 watt panel on my truck topper, a Battleborn 100aH battery, with a 12V fridge. I have had it running full time for at least 2 months in the past and have had zero issues, always fully charged during the day. You should be fine with this setup unless you run into multiple days of...

Amazing build! Nice job!

It's not, that's why it's good to use both VHB and eternabond. IMO.
