Contact your vehicle insurance company before you make the purchase to see if you can get coverage.

Since different types (such as lead acid, Gel and AGM) batteries require different types and rates of charging, as well as different voltage levels. Will the Redarc SBM12D VSR work with a two different battery type setup?

Looking forward to the review. Take plenty of pictures. If I remember there were two types of these stoves. One that pulls air from inside the cabin and another that pulls air from the outside. Which model do you have?

Indeed they are! How are you routing the exhaust, though the side wall or down though the floor? Are you plumbing the fuel line directly from the fuel tank or are you going to use their mini refillable fuel cells? Did you source the stove from ScanMarine? What are your thoughts regarding...

What I see on the outside wouldn't bother me. It's what's going on inside the walls that would. Relative humidity, inside and outside temperatures will drive the dew point temperature. Even with great insulation, interior walls and surfaces could have moisture condense on them as they warm up.

Do you plan on placing a cover over the Honda EU2000i generator?

Looks good! Adding cabinets and fixtures should help add structure integrity to the build, anything to prevent or restrict racking of the body is a plus. IMO, its the extrusions that add strength to the design and build. Watch the front wheels lift off the ground when this truck hits a low...

Its more like every 100 hours.

It could be, but the converter may also have a low voltage shut off. Trying to power a resistive load such as a heating blanket will run a small battery bank down fast. Have you considered a small generator to supply power for your electrical needs? It could power the blanket as well as a...

I'd have to say I share this point of view as well. Knowing what your driving on or into like a sandy beach or mud hole will go along way in saving you time, frustration and money. Everyone wants to camp at those far away remote locations we read and see pictures of, but once one starts...

You should consider starting your own thread. Responses to your questions will be tailored to your needs, wants and ideas. You can also send Michele at EC a PM. She has always responded to mine in a timely manner.

If there's a vehicle salvage yard nearby you can cheaply source jacks from junk cars.

Kris Since newer diesels require ULSD, the type of fuel your vehicle burns could be a limiting factor. With each passing year more and more countries are switching over to ULSD but connecting countries and continents together that currently have ULSD will prove problematic. I'm a fan of EC...

If at all possible hinge it. If you remove it, you'll have to do something with it. Large European overlanding rigs often hinge their rear bumpers to meet their bumper height restrictions.

Good job! I like the look and its function. I know we all want to achieve the maximum protection for our vehicles, both in the front and rear, but one needs to be careful what one bolts up. Investigators say 'large, aftermarket' bumper on Jeep contributed to death of 2 West Linn teens Most...

+1 A ShamWow added to your camping kit will help to wipe up moisture and speed drying time.

It would be nice if our lives had a game reset button, but we don't. Glad you two are OK. Sorry....missed one, make that three. Are you going to source the repairs in Mexico or return to the States? Keep dropping waypoints using your iReach, it helps define where you've stopped for the night.

What whatcharterboat has to say has merit. He is very wise in such things. Here's a link to some Body Builder Guides that will prove useful when it comes to mounting a body to these trucks.

Not all beaches have the same sand properties. The TruckCamperMagazine site has articles on beach camping. You might find some tips there.
