    Front Runner Wolf Packs

    That looks like an Akro-mils bin (in case you want to find more). I use a few in my rig and they work great. But they do let in dust in the bed of my pickup. I have't tried the front runner bins yet, but they have been on my short list for a while.

    Lower budget fridge? Iceco?

    I am super happy with my IndelB TB51. It has a low amp draw. Same compressor as ICECO I think. We have taken it on a lot of rough, dusty trails. And has been running full time for about 18 months now. Pretty quiet. Zero problems and highly recommended.

    I have never seen those before and might give it a try. I wonder if it would reduce the amount of dust getting into the bed? Maybe I just need a spoiler? ;) Speaking of which, I need to upgrade my bed seals big time. I did install some bulb seals this spring, but need to redo it all. My bed is...

    New 270 Awning available.

    I have the OVS 270 LT and it works great and is easy to pack up. I went with the LT because of the lower weight, bulk, and price.

    Refilling water tank from MSR Dromedary. We really like this setup! The well water from the Medicine Lodge Archeological site was not so good. :)

    Looking for a comparison of 270 awnings

    I am looking for a 270 too. From conversations with a Darche US distributor, I've learned the OVS 270 is a clone of the Gen1 Darche. The Gen2 Darche, which should be hitting the US early next year is 20 pounds lighter than the Gen1 (and clones), has higher quality fabric, and has other...

    It is just plain old flat stock you can get from any home improvement or hardware store. I use a big bench vice, sawzall, belt sander, drill press, rubber mallet, and over 30 years of experience hacking together brackets. :)
