Yes. it hasn’t changed from the post pictures you replied to above. I think that seal is particularly good at keeping both dust and water out. I really recommend prepping the TG plastic bed rail cap thoroughly (clean, scuff, clean with isopropyl alcohol) and using the 3M primer and then use a...

No problem, @Fergie. Basically I used that ESI TG seal anywhere there was a gap between the TG and the bedside. You really have to slam it hard at first, but it compresses down. I checked the seals for light leaks from inside the darkened camper at night with my wife shining the light around...

Same situation for me. I just used an old laptop sleeve I have. It’s pretty protected. I have a rear seat platform, but my seats are the fold up jump seat type, so I just tuck it in between the cushions. I get the impression they are fairly rugged though??

There are SO many 3m VHB tapes it’s mind boggling and many of them overlap in functionality. I found this helpful (comparison charts starting on page 9): https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1400379O/3m-vhb-tape-design-guide.pdf?&fn=3M-VHB-Tape-Design-Guide.pdf. You can also find specific...

Coroplast comes with a carpeted side from some suppliers. I wanted to go that way but couldn’t find a local source in Phoenix and passed. @tgoff is right that VHB can be used with coroplast — I’ve done so a lot, but there are some tricks and caveats: 1) The type of VHB matters on various...

I love the view from Yaki point early in the morning! Have shot there several times. How long you been driving the bus there?

I know some folks take this as easy camping meals. The recall includes Trader Joes, Kroger, Albertsons and more. Six deaths, 18 states so far. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/04/listeria-outbreak-deaths-pasta-kroger-trader-joes?CMP=oth_b-aplnews_d-1

Haha — good eye! East Loop.

Get shocks with adjustable compression settings via a dial/clicker on the body or reservoir. Makes world of difference on and off-road, at least for my purposes.

Seen on the (hiking) trail today: And I thought I was tired by this point . . . . Even the Saguaro’s find the sun too harsh here . . . (unstaged, at least by me . . .)

I noticed that Project Farm on YouTube has a review on diesel heaters. He does fantastically in depth tests and isn’t shilling for any brands. Didn’t watch it, but it might be helpful to you.

For comparison purposes FWIW: My Ovrlnd on ’21 Tundra DC weighs 362#. Interior build adds about another 150. Wet weight packed for a trip is about another 200-250 +/- in the bed. With my backseat platform area packed, my wife and me and full tank of gas we’re at or 150— 250# above GVWR (as...

Glad to help! My whole set up was intended to be minimal and yet comfortable, and for us, so far, it is. It all depends on your needs/wants. What I did won’t support induction cooktops, 120v electric kettles, microwaves, ACs, etc, but after nearly 5 years so far, we haven’t wanted/needed...

I hard wired the fridge (with a fuse) directly to the battery through a hole I drilled in the side of the NLDCDC box. The ONLY way I want the fridge to be turned off or disconnected from power is via the power button on the fridge itself. To preserve the removability of the battery box I put a...

I did basically what you are planning with that same Blue Sea breaker panel and a National Luna DCDC Power Pack in my Ovrlnd. Works great nearly five years running. I added an external inverter, but later removed it as everthing is 12v and/orUSB. I do care a small 300 watt cigarette plug...
