    Components on while charging?

    My Honda eu2000i has an eco mode and cycles up if/when needed to a higher rpm. Wouldn't this be the same or similar to what is being described as being the end-game for devices? It goes to my Noco Genius dual bank battery charger (2.5amp per bank) that charges my 2 deep cycle batteries...

    Overlanding pop up camper

    Lookin sharp!! My biggest concern is always having a rock-slider type side though so it can stand up to the abuse I take things through.... Would that be in the future? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Should it stay or should it go?

    Question to fridge owners - Do you leave it “running” in cold ambient temps?

    If the garage is too cold the fridge is unreliable (ice in the freezer melts, etc). In some cases turning the temp to the coldest setting helps, but not reliably enough to trust putting food in the freezer. The only solution is to keep the garage warmer for the fridge to act more reliably...

    Question to fridge owners - Do you leave it “running” in cold ambient temps?

    Wrong. I've proven that with my garage fridge and the ARB in the FJ. If you do the have actual experience, don't make it sound like you do. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Which don't work well when it's below freezing outside. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    2WD in Snow - Need advice

    "took this long to mention a shovel....." If we need to tell him to take a shovel he needs to just stay home. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    2WD in Snow - Need advice

    If you want to get off the beaten path more then I would start planning for 4wd in the future. For now... yeah, chains would definitely help. When I had my 2wd truck years ago I had chains for it and I would get into all kinds of trouble with it... and out eventually, lol. But I could drive...

    Rotopax - Is there something better I should be using?

    Too cost prohibitive for me.

    Rotopax - Is there something better I should be using?

    Ahh... yes. Since mine are the longer ones and I use 2 sets of handles and locks it's not an issue. They use road salt around here a fair bit.... and we do experience some pretty adverse weather. That being said... I do not leave them on 24/7.... I don't need to be "expedition ready" on a...

    Rotopax - Is there something better I should be using?

    I use 2 rotopax large jerry cans on my bumper. I really like having them. It has simplified my life. I use the extension and then use the locking handles. It works just fine. I don't leave them on all the time, but they have been on for a number of days/weeks at a time when I've been...

    Overlanding pop up camper

    The Australians use a system that has an air intake with a filter and keep a positive air pressure in the cabin to prevent dust ingress. I wonder if that would be necessary and/or feasible? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Somebody here has to know where to look...

    I've been watching these guys grow... might not be too bad... but I have no personal experience with them. https://www.offgridtrailers.ca/overlanding-expedition/ I took a look at a NoBo.... wow do those look like they've been just tossed together haphazardly... Good idea... poor execution...

    Max Coupler Wearing Out

    These guys may be able to order them in or have them in already.... It looks like they are the only US distributor so far. https://explorationoutfitters.com/collections/patriot-campers

    Max Coupler Wearing Out

    I've been researching for my eventual purchase... and it looks like Patriot Campers uses a D035 hitch. Those guys at Patriot campers seem to actually use their products so for me that is a bonus when looking at a company...

    Fridge vs. cooler for basecamp-style travel

    Your little 1 hr side trips would more than compensate for the battery drain from the fridge (assuming it was topped up pre-trip). When I was only running 1 battery (grp31 blue top Optima with 155 RC) I would run the FJ 10 minutes every day after the first 3 days. The ARB fridge also has a...

    Australian articulating ball couplers? (ARK, Al-Ko, etc.)

    Check these out... some high-end trailers down there use these. http://www.vehiclecomponents.com.au/hitches-couplings/hitchmaster-do35-v21-trailer-coupling-1
