Well, on that basis my truck should have been a $1 million or more. Damn I missed out!

Congrats.

I have used the 1lb tanks as backup and primary fuel for a million different adventures over the years. One thing I've noticed that you might consider is that the quality of the bottles - and specifically the valves- has gone down significantly. It varies from manufacturer to manufacturer -...

Haha, true. It's similar to knowing someone is an A$$hole when they comment about it early in the conversation. 😬

Trust me, coming soon to a field/wilderness near you unless something changes. Cherish it while you can.

Unfortunately that sounds tame compared to what I see on a daily/weekly basis.

Sadly, times haven't changed much. Only now the ever-increasing "hunters" have a SxS they can drive all across the roadless landscape and wilderness, roads they can drive down looking to shoot stuff out the window so they can post it on the 'gram and a growing cadre of Social Media misfits that...

Just dropping in to mention that the one of the reasons so many people sell their rigs after 2 years is due to falling for marketing like "TurnKey Expedition Vehicle". If you buy one of these (and actually use it) and haven't figured out that "TurnKey" is a euphemism for "TurnWrench" then you...

I have never understood the bright color obsession. I swear to god, we would have paid double for our truck to make it invisible.

No problems doesn't mean not overweight. From a practical matter both of those end up being overweight (if even though they fudge and make claims to the contrary as was pointed out already up thread) It's fine if people want to run around in a truck over GVWR - and this is a hell of a better...

So only mildly overweight for the platform...

There is at least some truth to the old adage: "Front winches are for getting other people out, rear winches are for getting yourself out. "

Due to the fact that we travel alone more often than not, and that the achilles heel of our type of vehicle is mud/slippery conditions, we have a permanent rear winch. And we have used it. It weighs more than Thor's hammer so it's not like anything suitable for our weights would be human-...

Agree completely When we upgraded from our SMB pop-up Econoline the ONE thing we were adamant about is having a bed that's setup all the time and not something you have to take down/setup everyday. For just the reasons you note above and the fact that we are often away from our vehicle all day...

Yeah, I'm certainly NOT a Victron expert. I have - out of necessity - gotten pretty good at programming and troubleshooting Mastervolt equipment and I have nothing that requires a signal to do ANYTHING. All of my programming - using the Mastervolt software- happens through the dedicated cheap...

I know at least a few people that simply plugged a 120v battery charger into their rig and connected it to their truck battery so its charging/floating while on shore power. They simply dedicated it into the system, hid it in a far away compartment and that was that. Most new battery chargers...

This is more the design style I’m interested in following.

True. I was really shocked by just the difference here in the lower 48 the impact it makes just on the shoulder seasons alone - much less full on winter. The technology I'm watching with great interest - even though it's unlikely I will live long enough to see it come to fruition - is the...

Yeah, aside from when the truck is parked here at the house we really don't camp anywhere with plugins/shorepower but I ONLY use the collar-locking shore power plug that is more stout - for the reasons you likely encountered. But I would MUCH prefer that smartplug configuration if doing it...
