These are all nice content topics, to me. I will enjoy watching the ones I didn't already watch. Will watch on youtube though, so I can smash dat Like Button ;)

Yah, that is a pretty impressive wedge.

Meh... still not actually correct. The pipe itself must be angled down with no upslope. The muffler having a weep hole is immaterial. These are all clones of the Eberspacher diesel, and THEY pysh dealer installs because how often people mess it up. They have a 98 page install manual you can...

There are 2 guys on Tune forum also that installed Dickinson 9000, then removed it for a diesel when they found it couldn't keep up for ski season use.

I have many reports of people saying dickinson can't keep up, and ending up with $150 chinese diesel and ripping out their $3000 dickinson. I dont want to search up links, but at least 3 good reliable posters. Ok here are some good posts https://www.tacomaworld.com/posts/29396030/...

This is a great report. Solid info. I've been thinking about mounting my combustor in that little cubby on passenger side of tacoma bed, moving it from inside bed near front wall. It would draw from outside then. Some guy makes an expensive mounting plate that replaces the whole 120v plug...

Here, this guy at the Tune Owners group is now producing this heater hose inlet to put in topper walls. Here is the etsy link to buy: https://heatlinkoutdoor.etsy.com/listing/1821602333...

I run the combustion chamber inside the camper, same way they are mounted in a zillion trucks. I had an all in one... however, I have separated the diesel tank and moved it outside. Despite checking and tightening all hoses, I have had 2 leaks that staaaank up the truck. Had to wash and scrub...

Made a video, should help folks figure solar needs. Winter vs. Summer Solar, Camping/Overlanding. Calculations & Tests, North/South Borders. Video works, won't play embedded here, click "watch on Youtube " to see video. Additional info in video description. How much solar power when Camping...

Someone asked me to look at the Goal zero Yeti Pro 4000. I'm gonna say YES, does all you need, but still not recommend as best choice due to huge and heavy. In general, good unit with everything you need for truck camping, good inputs and outputs. However, it is more of a whole house backup...

I'm sure this won't be a factor to you, but might educate someone else reading: never let engine run if parked while snowing. The snow can pile up above exhaust, which causes CO to enter car. A friend of mine died in college with his GF, sleeping in car while stuck in road in snowstorm. None...

How much electricity does it take to make a 2-person camping breakfast? I make 2 meals each 2c coffee, bowl of oatmeal, 3pc thick bacon, 2 eggs. I use the most energy efficient cooking, electric kettle and induction cooktop. Use this info to help estimate how much electricity you need in...

I have a Tune, which has about 8" bedding height. When I looked at the OVRLND, I was definitely planning on getting the extra bedding height. Sorry, not trying to distract from the OVRLND, which I also love... you guys have the best builds and DIY info here, so it is one of my favorite popup...

I bought a Hest to replace the 4" foam mattress that came with my Tune. It is indeed much better. And the Tune 4" was better than most mattresses supplied with truck popups. We just couldn't get good sleep before, without using additional blow up thermarest pads etc, the Hest is waaay better...

Quick video I made showing the tools in my DeWalt setup I use on the trail and camping. I spent a bunch of time looking for chainsaws and electric chainsaws... I got tired of them leaking oil constantly. Now I have replaced it with reciprocating saw, works great on trail clearing, no mess...

Sounds good. Only issue I see is the 8awg whip. The max ampacity of 8awg is 50A, over a 1ft length like that in unbundled wire, 75c. Your fuse should be at or LESS than your wire, so that the fuse burns out before the wire. , but your fuse is 60A. Your wire needs to be larger, 7awg at least...

Gonna respond for both you and other future readers, maybe you know more than them, if so then the basics are for them... 1. Nice battery fuse and 50A Anderson plug, I literally installed the exact same thing on my 100Ah 12v mini LFP yesterday! I like that fuse choice. I see fuse is 60A, so...

Which was that, and do you recommend? I was about to buy one Will Prowse just tore apart and liked, WattCycle, but the day after his review price went from $207 to $250. Looking for a decent BT 100Ah mini. Thx

Well, nothing like taking one anecdotal frostbite statement, and extrapolating it into a General Theory of Heat Transfer. That there is known as the Redneck Scientific Method.

That's nice woods you have!
