    running AGM and lithium

    Richie if you’re set on using LiFePo4 I’d suggest trying to get your hands on a BCDC1250D to charge lithium, especially since you’ve got the alternator power to easily support all this amp usage. Also if you’re set on keeping dual engine batteries, just run them parallel and load those up with...

    Redarc vs Ctek

    I just got me my BCDC1225 as well to go in my 80. Was thinking of doing a 3rd 100ah LiFePo4 battery in the cargo area and keep my existing 2 batteries in the engine. More realistic option is to mount it behind the headlight and wire it to the existing second, house battery. Keep the entire ACR...

    Which roof top tent????

    Range Rover. Price not an issue. And ability to mount gear (spare tire) on top, you gotta go Camp King. Top quality, made in Australia, similar construction to Alucab but more refined. All aluminum, 180lbs.

    Redarc vs Ctek

    I’m getting ready to do a REDARC BCDC system in my Land Cruiser 80 to replace my Blue Sea ML-ACR setup mainly due to the low voltage alternator not charging the batteries fully and limiting the life of them. I love the Blue Sea stuff and it functions great but these older alts just can’t do the...

    Redarc vs Ctek

    @unsung The BCDC will isolate your 2 batteries. But in the scenario of you killing your start battery and needing to jumpstart your vehicle with your second house battery, the BCDC can not do this alone. You would need to add a REDARC SBI12, 100A fuse on each lead going to the SBI12 and run a...

    iKamper Skycamp initial thoughts and observations

    I’ve been using the insulation layer all winter down to 5 degrees on one night with my family of four and we have had much less condensation on the walls of the iKamper. It also does keep it warmer which is the main objective of it, but less condensation is a plus too. I’ve thought of clamping...

    Your Sleeing Setup...

    We’ve loved our iKamper Skycamp for the 4 of us. We’ve had it for over a year now and have a good 30+ nights in it. Kids are 6 and 2 now and the tent is plenty big for the kids to stand and romp around up there and we have enough space to sleep comfortably. I love it too cuz it sets up and...

    RTT with minimum fiddling?

    Large (floor and inside height) and quick to open/close, it’s hard to beat the iKamper. About 81”x82” inside. Opens and closes is seconds. No walking around the car over and over to tuck fabric and zip fabric.

    WATER JERRY CAN WITH TAP - BY FRONT RUNNER

    I’ve had mine for a few years now, no leaks or problems for me. Added a breather to the cap for elevation changes and the brass spigot with an extension to run direct thru my can basket.

    Camp shower advice needed

    I just received the Zodi Zip shower and will be doing a good feel out this weekend. It packs into a small bag and sets up pretty easy. Testing the 6v battery pump rate, it drained a full 20L Scepter in 8 minutes exactly. We had a early model Nemo Helio that kept leaking on us and got tired of...

    iKamper Skycamp initial thoughts and observations

    There have been a lot of small improvements to the iKamper since the first containers came in. -the shell is reshaped slightly and looks slightly “sleeker” in the lines. -they offer a Line-X type finish to the shell now too for a slight cost increase. Should be sturdier and hide bushwhacking...

    Anyone have any experience with the James Baroud Eco Bag or RTT Luggage Bag?

    When I had the Grand Raid I used a Keeper bag and it worked fine. Fit the Grand Raid space up top about perfect and only $40 or so. The bag is like a thinner version of a RTT cover. I could tie it down with the loops on the shell too.

    2 meter awning that's easiest to open when alone

    If you do get the Swift and the wall set, post up some pics. I want to get the walls when funds allow.

    Nice stovetop toaster

    Does that Italian one fold down flat? Also, was it quicker or slower to toast?

    How many here completely trust their LC 80's?

    Yessir. Take care of it and it will take care of you. I learned to wrench on my 80 and it is a pretty simple truck imo. Everything is sort of designed for worse case scenario conditions so stuff lasts a lot longer than normal cars. There is also amazing support and information from tons of other...

    2 meter awning that's easiest to open when alone

    Paul at Equipt can get you the 3 wall set made for the Swift. He might have the awning and wall set in stock right now.

    2 meter awning that's easiest to open when alone

    Yes the front attachment style on the Swift is the same as the side attachment style on an ARB so you could buy ARB #4404A (2100 Side wall) and use it on the front of the Swift.
