It was in my initial post. Now I probably won't even do the solar panel.

Interesting chain of events there. I just got back from a week overlanding (Kentucky Adventure Trail) in 20 degree temps. I slept inside on the right while my fridge and gear were on the left. I fit just fine. What was bothering me was having to put the starlink up on the roof to get a good...

That's just a rebranded Rhino right?

I finally have a house with a 8' garage door and looking at expedition racks to hold a solar panel, traction boards, starlink, and roto-pax. The JK pioneer kit looks pretty good. Any one with first hand experience? Or should I look at something else? I'm looking at the Rhino Rack Pioneer 5...

143 gallons? Plus I'd pop that with the ladders I carry in the bed for work. How about a 2-5 gallon plastic container that won't tip over?

I want to keep some water containers in the front of my truck bed full time. Something low and flat that won't tumble all over the place. Can handle freezing. I was reading up on water bricks, then found reviews saying aqua bricks are better. But both are years old in coverage online. Maybe...

I have thought about that. I'm quite handy- so I could insulate it, roof AC, I already have a Honda 2000. Then I could build out the solar/battery/inverter system. I can't be rolling around on little 14" trailer wheels though. Maybe but a beefy 45 degree drop Dexter axle in it and 30's?

So several of my overland fellas are pulling Runaway trailers- very affordable. Basically a climate controlled box to sleep in. I'd like something very similar but they only have 4 and 6 foot widths. I think 5x8 is the right size for me. Plus I would love to have a rear galley area which those...

I ordered the clean waste toilet, I already have the bags. I'm thinking for my next solo overland trip to pack the family 6 person REI tent and use that instead of my 2-person sized ultra-light backpacking tent and also setting up a toilet privy. Until I get to the point where I have the gear...

Link isn't working...

Well in a crowded parking lot or group camping area, there's no digging holes. But privacy tents are all over the place.

That looks perfect for me but I can’t find one. Amazon and Walmart out of stock. Seems the truckers are buying them up according to reviews. Upon further review, it's been discontinued.

Looks like Nemo Heliopolis is the privacy tent to get. I like to get good stuff. I got more research to do.... The 3 legged thing is the clean waste suitcase right? Do you like the restop wags better than clean waste?

After the last multi-day off-road rally I attended with group Porta-pottys, I'm going to be bringing my own. I have a Jeep, so space is tight. I want a privacy shelter to set up along with my tent (yes, I'm a tenter). Easy set up and break down, good in wind, and if I can use a shower in it...

In my 2018 I used 4 L-track domes and bolted them through the bed. It worked, but I had to drill 8 holes in the bed and the domes were something to deal with when sliding cargo in and out of the truck. Are there more elegant solutions for my 2023?
