Who uses a wall insulation kit in their RTT, factory or DIY? I have one for the CVT Denali but it’s not cold enough to use it yet. Plenty warm with all windows/doors zipped up using sleeping bags with overnight lows at 40*F. I’m hoping to do some winter camping in Yosemite this year to test it...

I'm in the market for a large RTT to hold two adults and two kids (5 & 8) to be installed on a F150 with bed rack (6.5" bed). Found this local company Overland Pros which has a bit different design, but there aren't very many reviews compared to brands like CVT, Tepui, Roofnest, etc. What...

I am picking up a used Midland MXT275 that needs an antenna. I have a 2 door soft top wrangler JL which is causing me (a GMRS noob) some confusion as to what antenna I can use and how it should be mounted, especially as it relates to ground planes/related issues. The JL has limited steel on...

I was out hunting last weekend, aired down my tires from 33psi to 19psi and planned my route to exit the dirt about a half mile from the nearest service station. Which had a busted compressor. And so did the second one. 25 miles later I was able to fill up but my tires were not happy. I've been...

Here is a topo of an area we frequently camp and explore, coordinates 40.36163,-121.33817 (don't steal my spot! :p). The camp is down in a valley with two ridges, once you get past either ridge (marked in blue or red) my 5W Midland GXT1050VP4 radio on high won't reach back to the other one in...

Edit 9/19/22: see post #3 for current pictures of the rack in primer and with the tent mounted. Edit 7/4/22: this is an old thread I’m reviving. See today’s post for the build plan. I am looking for ideas on how to improve my bedrack system, both aesthetically and functionally. The setup for...

I am looking for resources around buying used LiFePo4 batteries and how to determine if they are in good shape or damaged prior to purchase. A local seller on Craigslist has 130AH Valence XP U27-12XP Series Batteries which they say were charged but never used as a part of a UPS electric...

I have this build planned out but would appreciate a go/no go from others if this is a decent idea or not. I have a set of Echo cordless power tools which run "58v" 2ah or 4ah batteries. I have an extra charger and battery collecting dust, and would like to put it to use as a portable power...

We have two boys, 4 and 18 months and it's coming up on the little guy's first camping trip when I realized he doesn't have a sleeping bag. We bought TETON Sports Celsius Jr for Boys 20* Sleeping Bag for the oldest but the taffeta shell is so loud when he tosses and turns that I refuse to buy...

I got a new truck and am ready to install my Thule rack across the bed, but want to see if there is any way to decrease the amount of sag in the crossbars. Its fine unloaded, but even with two bikes on the rack it has a noticeable sag and the bikes bounce a bit. I would like to get either two...
