    12 volt water heating options for cooking?

    In my experience it would take a really long time to heat water off a 12 volt circuit, look at the geyser system it takes 45 minutes to an hour to heat that small amount of water to 110 degrees. For your purposes that you stated a jet boil style burner is going to be the fastest and most...

    ARB threaded power outlet- what kind of plug and where to get another one?

    I have found that most ready made battery packs like goal zero, EcoFlow etc limit the input on cigarette style dc input to 8 to 10 amps, so I would check the unit you plan to buy before rewiring a fridge plug with 8 gauge wire as it would be overkill.

    New Bronco

    Got a mild overlanding setup for my Bronco, still a work in process, but loving the 2-door layout: GFC SuperLite mounted to a TrailRax roof rack and their PaxRax side panels, you can also see I added the Sasquatch fender flares for more protection, Mabett mudflaps and IAG rocker steps: Made...

    Thoughts on RLD design truck cap/canopy?

    I found a great solution (at least for me) to the crappy RLD cross bars and platform. I used to have a Leitner Designs bed rack on my truck, which I removed for the RLD Canopy. My mpgs went up up about 2 mpg removing the RLD platform and when I went to install my GFC SuperLite to the RLD...

    Need help designing awning supports for my camp trailer.

    My thought is to have steel brackets fabricated that are L shaped and come of the frame of the camper, if they are made hollow enough that you can then slide the 80/20 into the brackets and drill holes through the 80/20 and the brackets to use pins to hold the 80/20 stable. If the brackets can...

    How To Isolate Section Of 12 V Freezer To Use As Refrigerator?

    I don't know if it would work, but my Engel has a plastic partition surrounded by rubber (I'm assumed it's filled with foam, and two rubber mats for the floor, I can make the whole thing fridge or freezer by taking the partition out. I can also change the size of the freezer area to the large...

    Anyone deal with Bivouac Overland LLC in Houston?

    Yeah, the only time he called me was when Amex took the money back from him and threatened to sue me. I told him go for it.

    New Bronco

    I agree, for me it was the perfect package, especially since you get the 4.7 gears when you get the manual transmission in the badlands. I knew I'd struggle with moving around and mounting a 35" wheel and tire combo. This thing definitely checks all the boxes. The only thing that would of sent...

    New Bronco

    I was finally able to pick her up and buy her on 2/8/23. This thing is a beast off-road. Unfortunately, I had to trade in my Miata to get her, but it was better than having a car payment.

    Colorado ZR2 Bison Build

    When I first installed the Sy-clone, I installed it in the wrong direction and it was quiet as could be. When I realized that the ejection slot needs to be faced towards the rear, I rotated it to the correct position. Now I can hear the blades when I step on the throttle hard as well as some...

    Colorado ZR2 Bison Build

    I second the recommendation on the pre-air filter Sy-clone. You can imagine how dusty things get during the summer here in Texas, especially West Texas and New Mexico. I purchased one after going through a major dust storm and had to change out my air filter two times in two hours.

    Colorado ZR2 Bison Build

    I have the snorkel and while it does block a minuscule amount of the view, it's not blocking much of anything and it's definitely not intrusive. I've never had a instance, where I've said, I can't see something because of it. AEV/GM did a really good job of designing this snorkel. And Dave from...

    Anyone deal with Bivouac Overland LLC in Houston?

    Did you give the $1500 dollars through a credit card? If so, tell them your experience and they will reach out to the merchant, which could get results for you. American Express gave me all my money back from buying an Alu-Cab RTT from Bomber Products, simply because they refused to respond to...

    supplement 12v freezer for cooler

    Are you supplementing the ice with "ice packs" those really help in keeping the "real" ice frozen longer. If you go down the small 12v freezer route, I would suggest freezing those rather than just water.

    Quality 12V Kettle

    I would think with your rig running that the Bluetti and EcoFlow would still loose a lot of power and only slowly charge them back up through 12v sockets on the rig. I think you would have the quickest heat up time and little setup with something like a Jet Boil or the like. Heating water...

    Is it worth to invest an expensive portable solar generator for camping?

    If you find you want one, why not make a post in your location area and see if someone will rent you theres, after using one on your trip, then you'll know if it's worth the investment?
