TL;DR - Is there a product "off the shelf" that would provide for control of 12VDC accessories that would turn on any time it's provided with an ignition signal, AND would also turn on at a specified time? Such as any time the ignition is on, the accessories are powered. Turn off ignition, it...

Supposed to be doing an over nighter tomorrow night, and was going to spend most of Saturday playing with the tent, or getting the camper on the truck....and then learned late this evening that I'll be working most of the day tomorrow, so I won't have much experimenting time. So that said, I...

I recently picked up an OLD Norcold fridge...Well, at least I think it's pretty old. 15q, pale yellow color, doesn't have the automatic AC/DC switch in it, and has the compressor that clangs with the slightest movement (wish I would have known about THAT before buying this thing, lol)...

I have a 20 foot flatbed that's been built from scratch, with the original idea of doing the "redneck toy hauler" plan - small camper on front of trailer, 4x4 on back. I quickly figured out that my original construction didn't quite meet my dreams, largely due to overloading of the tow vehicle...

I've been searching for an inexpensive RTT for very occasional use for some time now. I certainly understand the value of the more expensive tents, and I'm not arguing that they're not worth it, just that I _personally_ can't justify $1,000+ for a tent for what amounts to additional convenience...

Look! Yet another "the fridges are too expensive!!" thread :D or - day trip fridge I already own an Engel fridge, and yes, I'm totally on board with the "fridge beats a cooler any day!" idea. I love that thing, and have repeatedly said there's no way I'd ever go back to a regular...

In looking at different ways of mounting solar panels in my Scout (similar to early Broncos, extended wheel base Jeeps for size comparison), one of my thoughts was to put them directly on top of the roll cage in place of the bikini top. I virtually never remove the bikini top any more anyways...

Picked up a used Norcold fridge several months ago with the intention of eventually having it permanently mounted in the back of my Scout (as in I was planning on bolting it up through the bottom of the floor cargo floor). I had it running continuously running in the garage since as a second...

Recently picked up a Norcold Tek II MFRT-360D, which near as I can tell is virtually identical to the Engel MT60. This is my first portable compressor fridge, so I don't really know what to expect or having anything to compare it to. Picked it up Monday evening, plugged it into AC, turned the...

I'm working on building out a '62 IH Scout 80, and really like the idea of the Tuffy cargo security lock boxes, but really dislike the high price of what amounts to a steel box with a door and a hinge, and also that it doesn't match the dimensions of my bed area very well. Ideally, I'd like to...

Being that most of my camping is done in the open Arizona desert, I'm not wild about a tent on the ground accessible to the various critters (snakes, scorpions, etc). I've been considering a RTT, but dang it, those buggers are pricey. Although I realize it will be kinda "redneck"...would it be...

Over the past few years, I've been finding myself being less interested in hard core rock crawling, and getting more into the overland/exploring type of off road adventuring, and by extension, my 4x4s are getting less and less suitable for this. I recently picked up a '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee to...

I'm currently in the design stage of a roof rack for my Grand Cherokee, and wondering if there are any considerations for adding a tent up there in the future? I don't have the budget for an off the shelf RTT, plus it will likely be a very limited use item for me. I'm not a big fan of tent...
