We just came back from 2 weeks around the southwest. Due to school and work schedule, the next trip will not be until desert season starts - I don't want 2 weeks of our waste composting in a cabinet inside the living space of my camper in our SoCal driveway (90°+) until late October. Hard pass.

This falls into the range of "there's an ******** for every seat". I, personally, prefer a cassette toilet over composting. Given the nature of our use, the length of our trips, etc., a cassette toilet works best for us. (Note, we use a "porta potti" style cassette, not the kind that has an...

I like the Dometic 2-burner hob that's in my 4WC. It's one of the glass-top low-profile models that's more or less flush to the counter when closed. It is, however, outside your given budget - seems like they run $400+, depending on the model now. (Though if you're willing to do a little...

This is a cool idea stormfishing - This has been added to my "projects to steal" list. I have a flatbed, so I was originally looking at a more "complete" mountings system involving running 80/20 between brackets on both brackets, similar to how it's setup on the rear of my camper, but if the...

Skip the big-box stores for sure. You can check with industrial lumber yards to see if they have alternate sheet sizes (my local one stocks 5'x5' baltic birch, for example), but I don't know that I've ever seen anything that would yield a 6'x6'.

This was my first thought too. Should be doable, but all the tank venting, etc. needs to be correct or any modern (post OBD-I) vehicle will start throwing codes.

Just following up, because I was curious where the line is drawn with regards to the chicken tax... I didn't get a full answer, but it sounds like passenger vehicles aren't included - this is why the 1st gen Transit Connects all arrived in the US as passenger models and then were re-converted to...

I'll believe it when I see it. I'm 100% on board for this, I just know that it is always surprisingly difficult to get new models into the US market. I'm also not sure if the Delica is sized such that it falls into the Chicken Tax segment. (If it's small enough and passenger only, maybe not?)

I'm on Android, version 11.127.0102 of the App (from May 2) when I did the screenshots above. (Looks like there's a new update today, but it's a moving target). I'm also on a Pixel phone (Google flagship), which sometimes gets me special features, but usually that's limited to stuff like the...

Ugh. From what I see on your first image, I'd expect that at least the large circles should be respected as waypoints. (The small circles are just anchor points that gmaps uses when doing pathfinding, and those are subject to change based on realtime inputs.) As an example, here's a short...

On the off chance OP was asking about good tables, here's my favorite one from WalMart - Mainstay's 34" square fold in half table. Sub $40, very light, and folds really small. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-34-Square-Resin-Fold-in-Half-Table-Rich-Black/844365764?athbdg=L1102&from=/search

You're not wrong. If you use Google Maps for live navigation, it's constantly trying to optimize your route based on traffic, road conditions, etc. One way to sort-of defeat this behavior is to build a route with a LOT of waypoints, so it keeps the algorithm from trying to re-route you via a...

Hey all, I'm in the midst of planning our summer adventure travel, and I'm running into the limits of the online tools that I've used, so I'm hoping to pick everyone's brains to find some better ones. When I plan trips, I tend to work to find a general path/plan that hits the things I want to...

These are what we use in the loose sand in our desert camping areas: https://www.homedepot.com/p/10-in-Plastic-Stake-4150/202087431 10" plastic stakes with with a tapered "cross" feature gives them good purchase in sand. $3.50 each at home depot. As you've found, there is no "one perfect"...

I opted for the Lumix in the 12-42 pancake because it includes a manual focus lever (motor driven), whereas the OM has to be focused from the camera. That said, the OM is probably slightly sharper, and oh-so cute and compact on a small body. For a wide-angle lens, I opted for the Lumix 8-18mm...

Having just come back from our eclipse-viewing trip, I can say I'm still very enthusiastic about M43 (after years spent shooting Nikon). My key likes are: Portability - I flew to Texas with only carry-on bags and was able to bring my EM-5 ii, 3 lenses, a tripod, and the whole kit of filters...

As with anything, "the right tool for the job" makes all the difference. All the properties of cotton that make it highly inadvisable in cool or cold conditions make it very well suited for hot/dry weather. The other alternative-to-synthetic that people continually overlook is wool. When...

This is such a great rig.

I'm not sure I accept your premise - there are tons of vehicles with street-side kitchen layouts. Everything from the classic Volkswagen Westfalia and Sportsmobile Westy, to most slide-in truck campers, to every Earthcruiser I've stuck my head into has had the kitchen on the...

I feel like that is a point worth visiting right there. Not sure if you've read "Engineer to Win" (Carroll Smith's seminal work on race car fabrication and design), but if you could boil the philosophy of the whole book down to one sentence, it would be "If the failure of a 5-cent part is what...
