Ha. 10-4. Will be interesting for me to test the OEM restrictor on ours to understand flow rate, but as mentioned, will be end of may or early June when we dewinterize and fill. We got back from UT just in time to winterize again. Minus 7 F here this morning.

Trail art made of junk (mostly thing that have been torn off vehicles by the looks of it). We fortunately had nothing to contribute to it. Bullfrog Marina on dried up Lake Powell down in Glen Canyon National Rec area. Boat ramp leading to dirt in lower left. Drove down to the lake bottom...

Back from a 1,700 mile trip from home (southwest MT) to Capitol Reef area of UT. Will try to limit this to camper pics and not make this into a trip report. Had a great 7 day trip through The Wedge, San Rafael Bridge area, Goblin State Park, Capitol Reef (Cathedral Valley, Fruita, South Draw...

We have the opposite problem in our 2020 CAMP-X. The faucet restricts too much. Can take a long time to fill a pitcher or fill a sink with hot water; the pump pulsing off and on that entire time. I experimented and unscrewed the aerator and it will flow like a garden hose with the water pump...

When the Anderson plug is connected, the pickup 12v DC will be detected by the REDARC and the REDARC will display the pickup battery voltage, but not draw from it to charge the house battery until the REDARC detects the voltage increase from the pickup running (alternator voltage). I've never...

Overland Explorer Vehicles (OEV) is introducing a new model; The CAMP-FX pop-up camper (this model has been renamed the "Alpine" as of 2023). It is a flatbed version of the CAMP-X (CAMP-X was also renamed to "Back Country for 2023). Product page is now active on their website...

Nice work and thanks for sharing the details of everything you did. Rig looks great. I just swapped from my winter C-load rated Blizzaks to my E-load rated Coopers. Starting a bit of camper prep, though I won't load it for about 2 more weeks since I have some medium-length pickup trips to do...

For readers unaware, the Relion 300-LT is a purpose built, low temperature (LT) lithium battery with internal heating element. When charge is applied, it first warms the battery core temp to above freezing and only then starts to allow current to recharge the battery. This is why @Gravity can...

Yes, CAMP-FX will is basically a "flatbed X" model. Same layout as a CAMP-X (rear door, drivers-side galley, passenger side dinette) but since a flatbed format, there will be much more room for storage since the lower sides of the camper are not notched inward to fit in a pickup bed. There are a...

Very slick! Will you also leave the inverter panel off allow for access to that 120v outlet and the face of the inverter? Do you predict cooling will be adequate with cover plate on? Looks like the fridge lower vent is nearby so imagine the inverter heat will be drawn up and out the top fridge...

OEV implemented the pucks after our CAMP-X was manufactured so dense rubber livestock mats were still the norm then. Rather than running the entire mat (100+ lbs), I simply cut 4" - 5" strips since only the footprint perimeter needs to be supported (the extrusion). Since camper is longer than...

I went back an re-read my post and it didn't make much sense. Ha. I went back and edited it for clarity. You are correct that the threaded rod, that feeds down in the silver tube, will be the limiting factor if/when it bottoms out. (The threaded rod in the folding handle can't really be adjusted...

I've not wired an inverter into our CAMP-X but have thought about it quite a bit. While you can do it either way, I would personally value running it through the shunt otherwise the SOC will constantly be off (you will never know what you have drawn and REDARC won't know what to put back into...

The rear Torklift may be too long. If the threaded rod is too long to allow a short enough adjustment, it's a simple matter of cutting down the threaded rod to the correct length. Keep in mind, for final measurement, that the camper being shifted slightly to one side or the other will throw you...

Nice. Seems a reasonable draw. That diagram for your other camper was great. Fun to trace through the system and see how different folks build out their systems. I like the Torqeedo setup. I'm assuming Cruise 4.0 since it's 48v battery bank and the 6.0 just came out. I'm trying to decide...

I know you are just poking fun (and we are all buddy's here and fun to do so) and it does sometimes feel like a lot of tech has crept into all parts of our lives. Many folks use such tech to stay connected to work while they are remote. If it means more days out in the camper compared to staying...

That GC3 looks like it was made for that tray. Nice work! A 200W panel, in any geographical location with good summer sun with about a 4 to 5 hours "solar day", will generate 160 - 200 watts per hour so 640 - 900 watt hours per day. The 270 amp hour GC3 is about 3,456 watt hours. So it would...
