I love your post, thank you for the chuckles. I have a young friend who is 6'5" and he too hates his softshell RTT probably for the same reasons. The last time we went camping, he slept inside his 80 series Landcruiser. Another friend and I went to the White Rim and during one super windy...

I don't have anything to contribute except could ya video this process? We need more levity on this forum.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong, but the material may not have been pulled tight enough before stitching. In another words, if the pivot ends at the spine were farther apart from another by, say 3/4", that might make that end of the awning taught. Does this sound about right?

This is a great feedback, thanks for that!

Figured it's time to update this list as couple of new additions were added, thank you all for your contributions. **************************************** 270deg awnings ********************************************** Freespirit Recreation 270 - No poles...

wow, that's so cool, thanks for the heads up. Let me go update that list now.

Thanks, I need to update my list. Curious, does BF ship to USA? I get the sense they're an Aussie company.

Did you contact the vendor with your question?

Time for an update: So, we went on two trips and this thing has been working out super nicely. It's worth the <$20 investment my GF made.

My answer is none! :-) Philosophically, power tools are for projects on my driveway, not for repairing a field fix. When someone breaks down on the trail, they have all the time in the world. However, I am fortunate enough to have a York OBA so I could use a die grinder for cutting if it was...

This is an interesting thread and quite amusing to read. Everyone has their ideas of what's "enough" when it comes to carrying tools. After many years of wheeling, I too carry tools in bags vs boxes due to the noise and rattling. I think my vehicle tool kit looks similar to Herbie's, plus or...

that's really cool!!!!

I'm only familiar with 12vdc engel fridges so I'm curious what does the plug connection look like on a 24vdc fridge.

Good points! Having the lagest size/capacity battery stuffed into the battery holder will take care of both of those needs. Granted, if you're base camping for a week and not moving daily, the fridge will definitely run down your battery and a supplemental charging (solar or start the engine)...

I'm going to answer the 12v outlet question with a question. Why are so many folks buying and adding yet another battery inside their vehicles when they have one under the hood? The space in my rigs are premium and I can't see bringing a head crushing battery pack inside the cab. It's...

My gf got one of these link from Amazon and we're gonna try it out in her Casita camper this weekend. They look simple enough and I'm guessing all are made in China so a generic knock off oughta work for our application.

I have a water bladder that lives under the second row platform and it's used for non potable use. The 5g Scepter water can gets refilled before a trip from the typical grocery store filter water dispensers. They both live in the landcrusier which isn't a DD and sits for weeks between usage...

My GF just got this in the mail and I'm curious how well it'll perform. This will be in her Casita camper with the potable 5g jerry can located under the sink. Water dispenser

It's time to update this thread with my solution. It's been in action for few months and I'm pleased with the outcome. I made a simple level indicator with a clear vinyl hose and two 90deg barbed fittings from this eBay seller. It's a tad pricey but it's worth it, I think. One caveat...

Figured it's time to update this list. A new one just came up on my feed from Roofnest. 270deg awnings Roofnest Litewing - 30 or 40 lbs depending on regular or XL model. Coverage is 70 or 100 sqft. The alum case is 7" wide x 8" tall x 100" long...
