Update, Dometic had me send them a pic of cracked lid, pic of serial# sticker, and puc of receipt which they accepted my credit card statement. About a week later I got a new cap in the mail. All good, warranty service was direct through Dometic via their 800 phone

NOT the Ecoflow Delta 2. Poor dc support: It only has a 10A car port as max dc amps output. And 2x 5521 3A, 38W outputs. Here are the specs: Specs Capacity 1024 Wh Extra Battery Support one DELTA 2 extra battery or DELTA Max extra battery AC Output 6 outlets, 1800W total (Surge 2700W) Max...

NOT the Bluetti AC200L The ac200L has a single 12v output, a cigarette port. That's it. It has a 48v output for RVs, but nothing I know of for truck camping uses that. I personally have 7 dc items needing power: Fridge, extra LED red lights, Maxxair fan, heating blanket, outdoor LED camp...

You should probably look here and see what actually fits on that truck, without rubbing. This is the Tacoma World tire size fit reference. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/largest-tacoma-tire-sizes-on-stock-suspension.67550/ For a 97: For 2004 and below Tacomas: 265/75/16 Lifted 5 lug...

I read a ton of Amazon reviews... everything that starts out looking good, has 500 1star reviews warning they stop working in a week, or reads 20F wrong. Just want a cheap accurate thermometer to see temps inside and outside my truck camper! Thx

NOT the Ecoflow Delta3 Plus. See review 26sep24 by ReeWrayOutdoors Only 1024 Watt-hrs Only has 3 small dc ports, all very weak, poor for truck camping: 1.a car cigarette port specced at 10A and 126W, but that when tested maxes out at 9A and 105W only, and 2. 2x 5521 ports that are 3A 12.6v...

These are pretty cheap on sale. They have plastic lids too. I can just lift them out, take to kitchen or garage to fillbup with stuff. The front access, as well as top access, makes them better than the more expensive Milwaukee setup, IMO. I actually looked at the Milwaukee stuff, also...

This answer has a lot of good true info in it. But it takes having read a LOT, to realize it... that 3rd paragraph, each clause could be a whole post. I wouldn't have recognized the packed info here, before I watched a hundred videos on tires. Thx

I get most of my tacoma tire info here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/wheels-tires.15/ Here is one on fitting other taco wheels on 1st gen: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-official-can-i-run-other-toyota-wheels-on-my-1st-gen-thread.563416/unread I looked at putting 16" on my 98...

No, I'm going to politely disagree with you here. What overly complicates things for basic users, and confuses them until someone explains it correctly, is people posting incorrect units, terms, nomenclature like you are. Instantaneous power use is Watts, stored power is Watt-hrs. If you use...

ISSUE with Dometic Go 11L water Jug "Hydration system". The 2.5" lid cap cracked, due to air pressure while sitting in hot garage. I should have opened the airflow valve a little, but didn't think of it. Most water containers can flex due to air inside heating up, but the Dometic jug is...

BougeRV 20L fridge. Perfect for roadtrips.

There is always condensation if no airflow... you can add insulation easily to any roof if desired to avoid condensation there. But the answer is to have your fan running on low, and an air source, window etc, open slightly, particularly when cold, to exhaust the 1 litre of water you breathe...

I do love your setup! My buddy has a Jeep, I showed him your setup this weekend!

For sure. And honestly, he is a pretty "roughing it" overlander in most all things, and his vast experience surely lets him get by and be happy with setups that wouldn't work for wife and I... I'm not as hardcore, and my wife wouldn't go without a gucci mattress, the next day backpain just...

I've been watching it. Fun series but... that sleep platform design is a nightmare! Having to hook it up and down on all 4 corners with carabiners, and a 2" foam matress?? I've seen 100 folks reject poor 4" mattresses and switch to Hest. 2" is all the room he has? Yuck. Not loving his sleep...

Will Prowse has a list of current recommendations on his review site. But he does like LiTime a lot lately.

Actually an AGM and LFP combo for cold weather isn't a bad option. You need to deal with slightly different voltage to charge. But an AGM can provide heat for the LFP in cold weather. Look at the charge profiles for your AGM, and for an LFP, they are close. My victron ip67 charger has...

I use my dewalt 20v sawzall thing, with a 12" wood blade. Cuts through most branches etc

What Peter said, but also YES. You can overstress your alternator with a battery bank and wires that will pull a lot of amps, pushing alternator to 75-100% output for long periods of time. For some folks with motor homes with 250A or bigger alternators, designed to output a lot, no problem...
