    Desert Turtle - M1010 Build

    To close out this build thread... the M1010 is off to it's new home, hopefully to be finished up. Sad to see it go but I also knew it wasn't going to get done.

    Kimberley Kube, BRS Sherpa, or ...? Which to get and why?

    I would seriously look at the Bean Trailers Bean Squared model. Outside of the price, it seemed to hit all of the marks I wanted. I was looking to create my own but health issues made me realize it was a bigger project than I could do at this point. Made the move to building a van instead.

    2013 GMC Savana 3500 Overland Build

    Well between being sick and then rain, I haven't been able to get much done. I did get a set of Diode Dynamics SS2 C2R flush mount lights for X-mas. I had also picked up a plug and play dual light harness from them, that plugs into the factory trailer wiring. I think I had less than 2 hours...

    Curious about your thoughts???

    To me they are two very different vehicle use cases. The Blazer, which are cool on their own rights, is more of the classic car type at this point. Restore/restomod and cruise around and enjoy it. The Suburban is something I would use for adventure traveling. Like you said, it has EFI and...

    2013 GMC Savana 3500 Overland Build

    Got some more time to do some work on the van. First up was replacing the battery. AC Delco Gold 78DT. With the dual terminals, I can run the factory wiring to the side posts and then run all of my accessory wiring to the top posts. This should help keep things much cleaner than trying to...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    It is the Fiberine 24" transit top. I looked at the 24" bubble top but since I was putting solar panels on, the bubble top make is much harder. Transit top has a much flatter design across the top.

    Condensation in campers and how to avoid it!

    I really wish people would stop bundling ALL propane heaters into the single "Buddy Heater" type that create moisture. If you are using a Propex propane heater (or similar type), these are NO different than the diesel heaters. They are heat exchanger type heaters, which keeps all of the...

    Better or best automotive batteries for my Overlander? Interstate, Odyssey, Optima, LiFePo, etc.

    Are you looking for a starting battery or a house battery? They are very different. For a starting battery, most factory charging systems are designed for standard lead acid batteries and work well for that use. When you start putting in AGM or Lithium, the charging systems are not going to...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Figured I would add some updated pics after the high top was installed. Working on the build out now but moving slow. Getting old sucks!
