    Turns out I need a real truck. Kindly help me choose one!

    For what it’s worth (ymmv), we bought our power wagon while my wife was pregnant and got an AT habitat installed right after she was born, along the same lines of wanting something for our family to get out and go easily and have plenty of space for our daughter and us to sleep and be protected...

    After 8 years in a full size, moving back to a mid-size - Recommendations?

    I’ve got 220k on my 07 xterra. She still purs like a kitten after a lot of hell it’s been put through, did timing chains at 200k. Minus the smod issue, the only things that have gone wrong with it have been due to my stupidity. So yeah. I’m a fan of Nissan. Or at least the xterra.

    Turns out I need a real truck. Kindly help me choose one!

    Correct. We’ve bought my wife’s two last cars in CO and brought them to AK. No sales tax paid to CO, none for AK. Just registration and titling in AK. The last time we did it, one of the dealerships we were working with gave us a hell of a bunch of **************** about how they “couldn’t do it” and...

    Turns out I need a real truck. Kindly help me choose one!

    We love our power wagon (2 adults, 1 toddler, 1 130lb canine toddler, similar pack out list to your lean side). It does everything I need/ want it to do, at the obvious sacrifice of payload. But we tent camp and run an ARE shell. I’m weight conscious for sure with it, but still feel safely...

    Comparison of these campers

    We had a an AT habitat on our power wagon for about a year and put it through some pretty good paces. We loved it, but didnt quite fit the bill we were needing with our young daughter and the flip-open design was difficult for my wife to manage with her height. We ended up selling it late last...

    Alu Cab vs A.R.E. Bed caps

    We have an ARE on our power wagon. It’s the CX HD model with the internal aluminum frame and roof bars. Honestly, it was a stop gap for us after getting rid of our habitat, but I do actually like it a ton. We will be getting it wrapped/painted to de-panda our truck now that we’ve decided to keep...

    Post up your drawer/storage system

    Been working on trying to do better organization in our PW over the last couple years, starting with a unit I built when we had our Habitat and now continuing into ARE canopy territory. This is version 2 of a “shelf unit” that I’ve done. For starters, I ran two 6’ lengths of aircraft track...

    For packing clothing...

    I’ve beat the hell out of my NF duffels on 4 continents, ranging from sea level to 18,000ft via mules back, and 110F to being kicked out of an aircraft at -40 at the south pole, and I’ll second this. They are fantastic bags. My go-to for big trips.

    Keeping an iPad 12.9 Pro charged while using

    I’ve used an iPad (whatever standard size model came out in 2020?) daily for work for navigation and documentation for months. Depending on what I’m flying, it either bluetooths to the aircraft or runs on cellular data or both for certain application support. Always stays on and plugged in while...

    60% seat delete platform/storage DIY

    I pulled the 40 side from our power wagon to build a dedicated platform for our dog. Was debating on the 60 side, but the 40 has the storage underneath it while the 60 is the factory subwoofer, and I didnt want to have to pull the kiddos car seat to get in there, and the wife wanted to keep...

    Quest for the Perfect Family Tent

    We recently opted to part with the habitat on our power wagon and go back to ground tenting. After looking around here, spending a ton of time talking to friends, looking at the things we hate/love about the other three (yes, 3…) tents we own for backpacking and/or solo trips, and running around...

    fridge: how to wire?

    I just did like BillieBob. 100w renogy panel on the ARE roof, wires through that fitting (rear facing), down to a home built battery box. Anderson plugs on major connections (solar-controller, controller to battery box) to allow easy disconnect/removal. Eventually want to pop a dedicated line...
