    Generator ban in California?

    i look at it as improving the outdoor experience for everyone else. While there are some generators that do not make a lot of noise, most are an annoyance and too many people think it is acceptable to start them at 6am Or even run them all night.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I have the tailgate bedrug on the bulkhead and it works well. I put 1/2” foam insulation board on the floor, the windows, and back door. It helps a lot. The floor has a Lowe’s rug on it also, but it does not do much for insulation. As a test I put my last piece of 1/2” insulation in one of the...

    Hands on, or end result?

    If I have the skills and time, I do it myself. If not, I pay someone. Generally, I have more money that I have skills and time. On my JT with ACCC i did the interior build of the camper myself, installed bumpers and winch myself. Paid someone to install the lift. I paid someone to install the...

    Time for a new build - Ecodiesel Gladiator Sport

    I have a Mojave with an ACCC . To combat the sag from the weight (also have steel bumpers, winch, slider/steps) I had to install bags and then had to lift it too since stiffer springs were not available at the time. Max tow springs might have fixed it a lot easier, I just could not get them at...

    RedArc vs Victron... REAL WORLD USE pros and cons?

    I only have one panel, but sounds like that is ok just slower. It is on an AluCab canopy camper and takes up about 3/4 of the top.

    Dometic PLB40 Review

    I have a Genesis dual battery system and it was not keeping up with my fridge due to too many short drives. I looked for a PLB but could not find one in stock on short notice so I bought a Goal Zero. I am happy with it but believe the PLB would be more versatile. I am going to solar next week so...

    We are traveling from South Carolina and need a place to store four bikes and two racks for a couple of days. We are getting into town a few days earlier than planned and cannot store them at the Airbnb we have booked. We have contacted a bike shop and it will work, but are looking for more...

    Quick options for my fridge power

    Ok guys, I did some testing today and found the following: -when I connect the Dometic and its hardwire kit directly to the Genesis it runs with no issue, so the battery is actually good. -when I connect the fridge through the camper fuse block it does not operate. -If I measure across the...

    Quick options for my fridge power

    Well I put a battery tender on the truck overnight to no avail. I disconnected the secondary battery from the main this morning and continued charging. When I took it off a few hours later it was to almost 100%. We then hit the road and plugged the fridge in. No dice, still not working. I...

    Quick options for my fridge power

    I think my batteries have 68ah based on my recollection. I will pay attention to the time it runs. With more driving I think it will be good.

    Quick options for my fridge power

    I may pick one up either one the way out of town or when we get to Taos if it is still giving us issues with the change in the battery protection level. Solar to be ordered soon. Thanks, we are looking forward to the trip

    Quick options for my fridge power

    I have the battery on a tender for the night to make sure it is fully charged tomorrow. I have a six hour drive tomorrow and that should keep it charged too. I turned the battery protection to high for now and will try it at medium during the trip. Hopefully this will cure the issue and be...
