@smbisig – I have one of the temp sensors of my Redarc Redvision taped against the outside wall. Since aluminum is very conductive for temperature and it is between the aluminum and an insulation layer, it gives me a decent approximation of outside temperature. The other is inside the camper...

Installed some furniture into our Canopy Camper: And added a filler plate between camper and bumper to finally give it a more finished look:

Same was discussed on the Jeep Gladiator forum recently. The solution I liked the most, was to install some Rhinorack or similar load bars on the door and mount whatever you like to these.

Problem solved, it was a bad common ground. Which was put in by a "professional" just two weeks ago. Argl ... why do I pay people to do this kind of work?

Hi All, I have an urgent question: I've hooked up a Redarc TVMS system with Redvision and Manager 30 in my Jeep Gladiator. The M30 gets a connection from the main battery, I read good voltage there with a multimeter. Common ground goes to a solid connection on the frame, I check and it's good...

Circling back on this: I think the biggest issue might be battery life, which will be (significantly?) reduced when the battery is exposed to high heat over prolonged time. I know that I had a lot less battery life issues before we moved to California and now have a non-insulated garage (for...

A vent is probably a good idea anyways, whether it needs to be active, I don't know. We don't have the Canopy Camper yet (picking up at the end of the week), but on this rig: We have a vent for the composting toilet and some gaps in the upper corners of the side doors. It gets warm in there...

@2Jeeps&PatriotX1 – That's a very clean job. Nice.

One more question regarding this: how difficult was it to take this whole thing off? What's underneath? A specialized platform for the X1 tent? Just raw mount points?

Now, that is totally understandable. We'll have to see how we'll deal with it. We had the Skycamp Mini on our 4Runner, but weren't happy with it. It took a long time to set up for the simple reason that the mattress completely sucked and we added two Thermarest 4" inflatable mattresses, that of...

That's interesting, why did you convert? Easier setup? I'm really looking forward to the X1 tent since I really want the staircase and the annex. Tired of the ladders and stuff hanging outside.

What do you mean by diminishing returns? An Intech trailer isn't trying to solve the same problem, so why even bring it up?

Interesting idea, but I don't find rice to be a big problem if I clean the pot right away when cooking while camping. But if you really want to avoid it, you can also buy pre-cooked rice (I have not tried this).

Me making fried rice, it did stick a bit in the stainless steel pan, but a cup of water, heating up on the stove, then using the spatula solved that in about two minutes or so:

Other simple food that requires only one pan (if some other stuff is prepared beforehand): - Tacos - Burritos - Omelette or scrambled eggs with veggies - Stews If we go out for just one weekend, we often prepare most of the veggies at home and take it tupperware or ziplock bags. The muesli we...

For breakfast: We bring oats, nuts, raisins, shredded coconut, and a bit of cocoa pre-mixed for muesli. We use simple steel cut oats, not oatmeal or so. At camp, put maybe six or seven normal table spoons of the pre-mix in a bowl. Add some fresh cut fruit (e.g. a banana, cut in slices), some...

Another simple option is a potato/veggie pan: Depending on number of people, take some potatoes, cut to 1/2 inch cubes, cut whatever vegetables you like (we use bell pepper, mushrooms, zucchini, squash, etc) into similar sized cubes, roughly chopped onion, maybe a finger length of chorrizo...

One thing I like is fried rice with chicken or egg. Should be easy to make in a skottle. Depending on the number of people you are cooking for, you have to take the right amounts, for two people I use roughly this: Ingredients: Pre-cooked rice (I cook this at least 8 hours before so it's not...
