Standard PC power supply cord is IEC-320 "C13" connector, which has a 14mm pin spacing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320

Scour craigslist, etc. for salvage and high-mile vans, too. That's how I got my GTRV top - an automated search I had running popped somebody selling a beat-to-******** 380,000km camper in Vancouver. I bought it cheap, drove it to San Diego, transplanted all the goodies to a newer van, and sold the...

That's the beauty of a standard, easy enough to check: 10mm pin spacing. If I was at the office, I'd have access to the IEEE archives and could tell you every dimension down to the radius of the corners. Edit: Here's the full spec of the C9/C10 connector pair, which are the same except for the...

"Discontinued" in the sense that the IEC no longer lists that plug configuration in the standards. Someone designing new product to IEC standards would not be choosing that particular connector type, so the cabling will not be as ubiquitous as the IEC C13 (every PC power supply) or IEC C8 (most...

Dinette or rollover? Neither?

Follow up, which might give insight as to why some folks had trouble identifying the plug: "The C11/C12 have since been discontinued and are currently not on the IEC 60320 set of standards. " That will make it harder to find alternate sources for cabling.

The connector on the right is a "Right-Angle IEC C11" connector: https://www.leadsdirect.co.uk/technical-library/iec-connectors/ https://www.webberelectronics.com/info/iec-chart The cable mates to an IEC C12 socket (what's called the "male" side, since the socket has the protruding electrodes...

Probably too heavy and more sturdy than necessary. I was using an aluminum tool box laid on its side. I've switched to a thin, molded ABS case originally for an electronic instrument. Unless I needed it to double as a stepstool, 80/20 feels like way overkill.

Captain's Chairs - Middle Rows from Honda Odyssey I picked these up from Craigslist, looking to replace my van's front seats. They're very comfy, but with the wider seat-bottom, they don't quite fit with the passenger-side swivel in my Astro van. (Bolsters will hit the b-piller when trying...

Not overlanding, but I managed to recover enough of our footage from a Europe trip a few years back to put together a fresh video. Mostly done to remind my kiddo that travel will happen again... someday.

Another question on the Alu-boxes: Can anyone give a hard number on how much height the Goose Gear top plate adds to the overall? I have a hard limit to fit boxes under my rear bunk boards, and even 1/4" too tall makes it a no-go solution. Unfortunately the ABA60 is very close to the limit...

I would just use a slice of extruded C-channel aluminum with a cross-hole drilled into it. Rivet that to the tent, slide the pin through C-channel and ladder ring...

And this ******** right here is why I always pay to have someone do rear-end work. Black magic, that is.

Not an article, so far as I can tell? Just a link to Midland's BizTalk page?

Most front-loading RV fridge doors are setup to be reversible, which means there's already a provision on both ends of the door for a hinge pin. (And usually a corresponding hole in the mounting flange or frame.) A quick-release clevis pin down into this hole is guaranteed to keep the door...

This adapter would probably do the job, if 8mm is correct: https://www.amazon.com/JoinWin-MFG-Terminal-Portable-Controller/dp/B07MYTVCJD or if you need female: https://www.amazon.com/Goal-Zero-8mm-Female-Connector/dp/B0763TM156

That looks like a standard 2-pin SAE Bullet Connector https://www.amazon.com/Connector-Disconnect-Motorcycle-Automotive-Extension/dp/B07D484NP5 https://www.amazon.com/Quick-Disconnect-Harness-Connector-Bullet/dp/B00MYDR1IK

Please post pics when you're done! A couple of Roadtrek's have caught my eye lately, but one of the things that always keeps me from pulling the trigger is how low they are. Trying to guess whether it'd be easier to pull some of the lower skirts off a RT, or start with a plainer high-top van...

Absolutely yes. A fuse for every current source, lest your carefully installed wires become low-efficiency heating elements and highly efficient voltage-to-smoke converters.
