I just found out about these today and am seriously wanting one. My thought is to use the receiver hitch mount and put it on the front bumper of my Jeep (to get some weight back forward). Does anyone know what the outside dimensions of the tank are? I can't seem to find that info. The weight of...

I hear ya MattJ. My 2-door Jeep is severely overloaded too. So much so that I recently stripped everything off of it with the intention of building a 1-ton van camper instead. The problem is that I found I can't afford to start buying rig-specific gear again (and building most of it due to the...

Good point, I pack a torch too and use it for starting the campfire and the charcoal in the grill.

I was leaning towards the MorRyde Rotopax kit for my JK...but these stainless cans interest me. As of today the Dinuba cans don't seem to be available anywhere. Does anyone have info about when they might be in stock again? If the "improvements" include a tap towards the bottom of the can (so...

Anyone have a SP Tamago pan they want to sell (CS-305)? I really want on because it will fit in my storage system.

Probably not what you guys are looking for...but this is what my old man goes camping in:

Oh, I bought my rack about three years ago (not exactly sure and I've cleaned out my gmail...so no records).

Ha! I love it and remember I had to scour Ebay to find one in imperial.

Um...yeah. Do you think that a posted trade value might help with that? LOL.

I have an imperial caliper and took it out there. The sun was in my eyes...so the photos are kinda hard to see with any detail. The width of the profile is just shy of 13/16. I'd bet that this turns out to be 20mm...but I don't have any metric measuring tools. For the depth to the top of...

Since they are aluminum, you can cut those on a chopsaw. Preferably one with speed control. I think the nuts are simply tapped in through the hole drilled in the top of the slat. As I said before, they rattle a bit when there isn't a bolt in them, but I couldn't pull the nut out. Since they are...

I'm on the verge of permanently installing the Propex heater inside the Jeep. I think the "Thru hull" exhaust filling will fit in the fiberglass next to one of the rear windows. Of course, I'll need to build a bracket to mount the heater up high in the rear. The problem is, that this will be...

Today was awning day. I had to move the front mount bracket forward due to the longer rack. The blue tape to the right was the old location...the blue tape on the left will be the new location. I held it back from the front by one slat space so that we will have room to attach the gussets to the...

I was working on my rack today and took some close up pictures of the slat nuts. Hope this helps. They seem to be swedged in....if you know what I mean.

I hear ya and would have already added another battery. But, I am out of room (2-door JK) and the rear of the rig is weighted down too much as it is. Simply can't afford another 80 lbs. coach battery in the rear. For $78.20 I might give it a try. I have a feeling that it will work. The only...

You got it...trying to leach some juice from the engine battery without fear of killing it. Another fellow on the portal managed to fit a group 31 under the hood of my rig. If I can do that and mooch from it down to 12.3 then I should be all set. My current National Luna setup has a 100 amp...

I read the schematic in your post. Although it indicates that the Victron should go between the battery and a load(s)...I intend to put it between my engine battery and coach battery. So, when both batteries hit 12.3 the Victron should disconnect the two batteries. From that point, the loads can...

What do you think a good cutoff would be for a 3.8 liter V-6 in a Jeep? I'd really like to leverage the engine battery while at camp, but I also would like to make darned sure that the engine will turn over. I was going to start at 12.3 volts.

Thanks. That answers a lot of my questions. My coach battery will never need to put out more than 5 amps per hour. The only caveat would be if I override the LVD to charge the engine batter (for emergency). Sounds like the Mosfet Victron is what I'm after.

Dude, I was looking at this on Amazon and it prompted my post about LVDs yesterday. One of the reviewers complained that it was programmable for voltage integers only (12 volts, 13 volts, 14 volts, etc.). Your app screenshot looks like you can define the voltage at will. And, it has a remote...
