    Looking for the most efficient solar panel

    I have another point of view from a different angle! You have a small space on the roof, which means you have not a lot of space for an optimum solar gain or wattage. Additionally, you have to mount them laying flat, which also prevents the optimum solar power gain based on the # of sun...

    Reasonable Internet service if you are not using Starlink?

    I hear ya. I have Starlink at home and it's mounted permanently. Not once did I ever go "hmm, wonder if I should take this setup with me to go camping". Nope, not even once. I camp to get off the grid and away from people, LOL!! Others have legit reasons for needing off grid solutions...

    Replacing struts on James Baroud tent

    Find out the following, then order from Mcmaster carr -psi desired. This one can be tough if you can't read that info off the sides of your current struts. I'd guess somewhere between 30-50psi per strut, but that's a WAG on my part. - extended length -compressed length -mounting style at each...

    Tent replacement

    My experience is only with an Authome columbus RTT but I wonder if an iKamper would fit your bill? I don't know if insulation is going to be something easy to find or be effective where you camp during winter (dude, you crazy!!). The side wall material leaks like a sieve, as you know. But, the...

    Alpicool LGCF55 lid latch issue

    Closing the loop on this easy fix. The pics tell the story, but all you have to do is separate the the plastic under lid cover from the top cover. Remove two screws and use a small screwdriver to separate the two pieces. Cheers. Sent from my SM-G981V using Tapatalk

    Looking for a replacement for the sagging ceiling net - Autohome Columbus

    My ceiling cargo net is "pregnant" as it lost all of it's elasticity due to being 10+ years old. Has anyone replaced their with a net of similar dimensions with success? Autohome hasn't been able to bring me a replacement net so I'm looking elsewhere. Thanks.

    Campchef Everest stove knob fell off!

    It's time to re-visit the freaking knobs again! On our last campout, one of the knob kept sliding out, even with the tiny setscrew cranked down. As y'all know I installed guitar knobs which was working out for the most part. So, it was time to fix it once and for all. Went to Ace...

    Replacement Ladder for My Rooftop Tent?

    I'm late to the party but here's my .02 cents. I too have the Columbus Variant and tossed the ladder first thing, and got one of those telescopic ladder. Then, I upgraded to a second telescopic ladder from iKamper, because the rungs are bare feet friendly. Additionally, there are two eye...

    Should I replace my DIY awning? Looking for something better...

    I'd toss it and spend some serious mooolah!!!! You figured out something quite crucial and that is the effort it takes for setup and teardown. The easier something is to deploy, the more it'll get used. If you can afford a true "pole free" awning, I'd go for that.

    2024 Casita 17' Spirit Deluxe

    Congrats on the purchase, such a sweet trailer. I've been camping in my GF's 2014 17' Casita for a short while and it's always a pleasure. Some improvements were made along the way by me that makes this camper so much more enjoyable. Once she has the dough, she'll spring for the shock kit to...
