I'm not going to say OnX Offroad but everybody else is about too. Watch. I still like Gaia. I use a combination of Gaia, Pocket Earth (iOS only) and Google when roving about the terra firma.

Here's my uninformed answer. I think AI is guessing. Who cares if your controller cycles on and off at night? It probably does it all day as you pass under shadows while moving. And what exactly is 'premature wear and tear' on a charge controller? It's more or less an intelligent switch...

Did you make the shell that the RTT is mounted to?

Man, I wonder how many duckies you could display across the dash of that sweet Jeep?!! Good luck Michael, hate to hear that you're parting with it. Just like Dan's sale, someone (else) will be very happy.

I hate that this old thread is still out here because I was a very early CCV customer, way back in 2015 or so maybe?, and though I had a few issues it was an overall great experience and I shared it with lots of people. Derek was still working at his house with only one helper and trying to...

No, I haven't gotten through that many heaters, I've just owned a few. I work in commercial trucking and most of them have Espar/Webasto, which people also have problems with btw, plenty of problems, I just haven't had any personally. Last van build I put a Planar in. Not a horrible...

Tell me about your personal experience which verifies this. I have had Planar, Vevor (CDH), Lavaner (supposedly better CDH), Espar and Webasto in various rigs. Vevor has been dead reliable, as much as or more so than the rest. Lavaner has been the least reliable and most finicky by a large...

Looks like a CDH in a fancy box. I wouldn't think the quality of the heater itself is any better than any other CDH. IMO most of these companies supposedly selling 'better' Chinese diesel heaters are just selling the same thing with better marketing. I would think it would come down to...

I'm thinking the OP lacks a fundamental understanding of how anything mechanical works. No offense. Or this is a joke. I kind of hope it's a joke.

Didn't happen 20 years ago and it certainly isn't going to happen now. I'm assuming these are Quigley conversions? My only hope for this rig is that it isn't built in Indiana where the rest of the white boxes are but I don't have high hopes. The realistically sized sink is a plus but I...

Location might help

Agreed, I did my own conversion from a passenger van and have about 60k total in the van I think. Started with a bone stock 2011 Quigley with 100k miles, paid $20k. Biggest expense for me by far was the pop top.

Great pics, I have still not done Rimrocker in my van. I can't let another year pass without checking that box. I was able to get up as far as any vehicle can go on Sneffels a couple years ago, way up above the last lake, and we hiked from there and and got in a wicked hailstorm. It was...

She had a very bad day I bet. Not a quick and simple roadside fix.

Nice find! Which engine?
