    2021 RAM 3500 Tradesman | AEV Prospector | FWC Grandby

    That surprises, me as we've never had an issue in our RAM...2500 PW with a big, honkin' spare hanging off the swingout and pop-up camper as well. Multiple, similar, rigs parked near us, too. And this was always in the Fall with large crowds. Given the Auto Road is privately owned, though...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    I do have a Manager30 in both the truck and trailer, @Chadx . Unfortunately the temp sensor is attached to the positive terminal of a battery with very little slack but the external pad thing may work. I hadn't thought of simply changing the profile to AGM (and, yes, I'm confident the batteries'...

    Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

    Thanks for the awesome TED Talk on internal heaters, @Chadx ! I had no idea there were different methodologies for internal heaters. Lots of stuff to ponder as I look for solutions for cold house batteries. I have self-heating Renogy batteries in our trailer, but an issue I run into is the...

    OVRLND CAMPERS ONLY : Post your OVRLND Camper build here or a link to your build thread to inspire others!

    What are you using to control the charging profile for a Li battery? So you’re just running a straight wire from the alternator to both your starter battery and another to a LiFePO4? Are you relying on the battery’s BMS to charge it properly? Lithium batteries have far lower resistance resulting...

    OVRLND CAMPERS ONLY : Post your OVRLND Camper build here or a link to your build thread to inspire others!

    I’m running 6AWG welding wire (highly recommend as it’s far more pliable than solid core) from the battery to the front of the bed of my RAM 2500. That’s for a 30A REDARC system. 6 is, likely, fine but if your lugs will accept 4AWG, then use it for 50A. $89 for 25’ of both red and black on...

    Pop up truck camper questions

    Heater solution depends on what you're willing to spend and what you're looking for. I have an OVRLND on my Power Wagon. I punched a hole in the bed (well...the installer did), and have a Webasto Air Top 2000 STC installed in a small enclosure. It's the gas-burning unit and plumbed into the fuel...

    Arkto Campers New C10!

    LOL...that's what I get for not searching first...I knew it had been mentioned somewhere.

    Arkto Campers New C10!

    Pretty stoked to share the latest brainchild from @Arkto, the C10. Aaron went out of his way to get feed back from some of the faithful and the result is pretty dang amazing! I know I could drag this thing behind the Land Cruiser and get into some far more wild stuff than I can with the...

    Starlink is Coming to Your Smartphone Soon! 😲

    I tested the beta version with T-Mobile and it was...meh? Not turning in my inReach Mini anytime soon. The greatest issue I had was that it was virtually useless for easy 2-way communications. I can leave my inReach in a good spot and so long as I can maintain a Bluetooth connection, I can just...

    Ultimate Overland Journal Moving Sale: 60% Off

    Hey, @Brian McVickers or @Scott Brady . Could someone explain the "extras" purported to come with a lifetime sub? Thought about pulling the trigger on one with the podcast discount that Scott would advertise, but there's zero information on EJ's site beyond a lifetime sub being just that with...

    Supertramp LT or OEV The Back Country 6.85?

    Other things to consider...first...with a proper heat exchange-type furnace (like a propex), a propane heater doesn't create moisture...that comes from el-cheapo solutions like Mr. Buddy Heaters and the like. We have a Truma Combi propane unit in our trailer...nice dry heat. The other...

    Insuring a truck with custom tray bed

    Have zero experience with them, but maybe try Tredder? Seems to be a company that insures the extras while your "normal" insurance company insures the general vehicle. Saw them in EJ and ads on the podcast.

    Ovrlnd Camper on F350 CCLB - Overkill?

    Looks like an awesome build out! You have your reasons, no doubt, and have researched the heck out of everything, but I'm curious why just sliders for windows? I can tell from all the storms we've sat out inside that having a hatch window is awfully nice when it's raining sideways but you...

    "Cheaper" seats for overland travel?

    Good to see they work for LC200s. The Sequoia is long gone but will keep this in mind if we ever swap out the seats in the Cruiser. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Arkto G12 Review and Discussion

    Figured it was time to bring this to the top! Lots of awesome stuff going on at Arkto as the C10 development is chugging along. Really stoked to see that evolution! I also feel like it'll be a far more 4Runner-friendly set-up. Tons of folks are towing their G12 with a 4R and...I mean...I...
