I purchased a spare pole. Drilled a small hole at the end farthest away from the vehicle, in the middle. I lay one end of the pole in the track & insert the other end in the rail. When it rains it keeps the middle from drooping. Having that extra pole can come in handy just in case.

One Way to Add Propane to Snow Peak Pack & Carry Fireplace/Field Oven I recently purchased the Snow Peak pack & carry large fireplace and field oven. I came across this thread while searching for ways to add propane to the system. I realize this is something that only a few people might be...

ARB Awning Room on '95 EVC Here are some shots of my ARB Awning & Awning Room. The awning was installed using modified GoWesty brackets. Below is how I use a reverse roll. This lets me un-roll a smaller section (which I will use for short breaks in the rain) to minimize how much of the...

Hey, if you haven't seen it, there's a much longer thread on the ArkPak that among other things contains some real world results and battery info. The early pages tend to focus on when the ArkPak will be available. The mid to later pages may be helpful to some of you...

Second Unofficial Test Results of ArkPak Met up with about 17 Eurovan owners and their families for a weekend in Silver Falls State Park. Brett, you guys might need to put me on the payroll due to all the dog & pony shows I gave, along with my explanation involving who, what, when, where, why...

Real World (non-Scientific) Usage Report Over the weekend I picked up my 50 quart ARB freezer near Federal Way, WA. On Sat I pre-cooled the empty freezer in a garage using AC. The freezer temp was set to 10F. Early Sunday am I connected the freezer to my fully charged ArkPak in my 4Runner. Note...

Picked up the new battery on Fri & installed it in the ArkPak on the spot so the vendor could see the ArkPak for themselves. No problems dropping it in or closing the top. The voltage showed 12.5 with a 100% charge in a discharge state, but I figured that once I topped it off, the voltage would...

Bett you must be tired from all your adventures in the bush!! If you look at my post you will see that I wrote "Setting aside the physical dimensions for a moment, what would happen if you connected a 150AH battery or greater to the ArkPak?" I realize the batteries are too big, but I'm still...

What Would Happen If You Used a 150AH Battery Or Higher? Brett, I've been searching high & low to find a 140AH battery (or as close to it) that will fit in my new ArkPak. Interstate battery thinks they found one that may physically fit, but it's rated at 150AH @ 20hr's (12VGCUTL). I've found...

New ArkPak Question Brett, received my ArkPak a few days ago & installed an older RV battery I had charging in my garage. At the point where you are asked if this is a new battery, I answered no. I get the feeling that isn't the real question ArkPak is asking. My gut tells me the ArkPak wants...
