No one sells airbags or custom springs for my particular model of suv (Highlander, trust me, multiple owners confirmed it) and every car shop I've called has refused to help because of liability. Can I just jam some rubber disks or something between the jounce bumper and the strike plate until...

I'm struggling to figure out what kind of winter tire strategy I should have for the PNW / BC winter. I do a lot of highway driving so obviously hydroplaning-resistance is a priority, but that seems to always come at the expense of good ice performance, and I do spend several weekends in the...

I'm tired of messing around with my foam window inserts that take up a bunch of space, does anyone sell any roller shade type blinds for all the interior windows of a vehicle, including the windshield? Or just a basic well-built blind I could mount then cut the size of the window it's covering...

Anyone use one of these gravity-driven "drafting table" hinges for a folding bed in your rig? *I want to be able to lift the last third of my bed about 45 degrees to get to storage underneath, without having to prop it up or do anything complicated. *It's my understanding these hinges lock in...

This is probably a dumb question but I have a nice slim-profile Samsung computer monitor mounted in the back of my rig that only has 2 HMDI ports, nothing else. I want it to double as a tv (netflix, etc) from my iPhone. I know I can screen-mirror with the lightning-to-hdmi cord, but how do I...

I need a perforated base for my Froli mattress system that needs to span a few 4' cavities, so it needs to be rigid unlike HomeDepot pegboard or something. I've had mold nightmares in the past so I'm not keen on buying wood or plywood, drilling holes, and varnishing it or whatever (but will as...

I know WeatherTech sells those thin windshield covers, but they don't insulate well and don't blackout around the edges. I'm thinking of cutting out slightly oversized 2" hobby (open cell) foam and 'squishing' it into the windshield and side windows when I want to sleep in my vehicle, and...

I have a water heater and TV that I need to mount to my vehicle, that aren't necessarily built for the road. Any tips for how to incorporate vibration damping into the mount? All I can think of are rubber washers, which might not be enough...

I've been researching for days and can't figure out the best way to get hot water for a shower system in my suv. I've narrowed it down to the following: 1. Tank- 6 or 10 gallon- reliable but take up a lot of space and always have to be running. ~$600 2. Tankless- 2 types, the RV ones like...

I'm looking for some general advice in building a pressurized water system in my vehicle. I can't find any good overall/complete guides from water tank to faucet. I think I want an on demand propane water heater from Atwood with the freeze-protection package, but I can't find any water...

I can run an electric shower + pump up to around 1500 watts in my system; anyone know if there are any units out there with good pressure and heat at that point? Thanks!

There are quite a few accounts out there of car campers in Prius's running their ACs or heaters all night off the car battery. The car has a built-in system where it starts every 30 min or so to charge the battery back up off gas. After struggling with my deep cycle battery bank/Honda...

I want an alarm system for my vehicle so when I'm sleeping inside of it I would be notified if someone (or thing) approaches the vehicle. The only way I could think of doing this is to get those backup sensors that beep as something gets progressively closer to the vehicle. No car alarm would...

Anyone have any experience comparing the noise level on load range E tires? I want the quietest one possible, highway only. It seems like most of them are made for a mix of terrains, so none are optimized just for pavement.

I'd like to sleep in my F-150 conversion in urban areas along the West Coast of N. America... anyone here with experience with that with their expedition vehicle? I purposely designed my truck to have no visible signs that it's a living quarter, except for a vent on the back of the A.R.E...

I'm building a custom bathroom and sleeping pod in the bed of my truck that's plywood with fiberglassed seams so it's all smooth and seamless like a shower stall. Problem is I'm an amateur and after a ton of sanding (and an infected eyelid because of the dust), it's still a bit bumpy with...

Is it safe/advisable to consistently drive at a F150's payload limit? I have a 2016 F150 and am very close to its limit of 1600 lbs. I can buy better tires (E?) and get air bags/sway control/shock stuff; but didn't want to spend the $1000+ I assume that would cost. Tips please!

Hi All, I want to use my Honda EU2000i to charge a 200Ah AGM battery bank occasionally, I'm thinking through an Iota smart 75amp charger. Anyone know if this will work before I spend $1500+ ? I read conflicting things all over the net, including about whether the Iota's are smart enough to...
