    Quality Propane Tanks for Overlanding?

    You can spend more for a fancy fiberglass tank than a regular aluminum or steel tank. Only a weigh advantage. Some places will not fila fiberglass tank.

    Practical barbecue grill solutions?

    In the Southwest, fire bans are pretty much a yearly occurrence. I only use propane. Easy and clean. From what I see with campsites with charcoal ashes and coals on the ground plenty of people don't care about the ban. Another thing I don't like about charcoal is most people leave the trash...

    We just completed the Utah Backcountry Discovery route. 744 mostly off road miles from Bluff ending at Bear Lake at Garden City. Temps from a high of 106 to a low of 36 degrees. The highest altitude we hit was just over 10,000 ft. Hours upon hours of rough roads and some rock crawling for fun.

    Another pro tip is I use fly paper on the ceiling and by the reading light to catch any bugs that get into the trailer.

    Check out Mission Overland trailers. No requirement to put down a massive deposit and wait a year to have the trailer made. You can pick A Mission Overland up at an RV dealer. I've had one for over a year and have been very happy with it. https://missionoverland.ca/

    Driving the Utah Backcountry Discovery route. One night we camped by a beaver pond and watched the beaver work. The 37 degree night temp was a nice change from the 100 plus degree heat we had been in Uintah National Forest.

    Adding an aftermarket XM antenna to a 200 series

    The 200 Series always had spotty XM radio reception which got worse when I put the roof rack on. Ever since I was trying to figure out how to add an aftermarket antenna. Thanks to @BigMF on Ih8MUD, for his work on identifying where the plug was and a great video on how to take the radio out...

    Cover for Gazelle gazebo

    I have a protip I thought I'd share. I have a Gazelle gazebo. Due to the size I carry it on the roof and the cover is already fading in the Texas sun . I found a patio umbrella cover fits perfectly. This should lengthen the life of the original cover. I don't know if there is a patio umbrella...

    Missing from the interior lights was a red light option to be able to grab something from inside without attracting bugs.

    With such a large water tank, I have not been worried about this. I always top off whenever I can like at a RV park.
