2 items, I think I'm good and see no reason to get anything other than ACR. 1) this is in a vehicle, no camper. Batteries will be 3 ft apart 2) if there is no danger using jumper cables between batteries in the same vehicle elvtrical system then that was a key piece of learning I did not have...

Let me try a different approach ... I had started with a review of this system: https://www.bluesea.com/products/7610/SI-ACR_Automatic_Charging_Relay_-_12_24V_DC_120A (same one DiploStrat noted). I thought to add the switch so I had a emergency backup by combining them to start the vehicle but...

First off, thanks for quick repsonse. I think we are in same page. I want the automatic part of the system to charge the HOUSE battery after staring (and voltage on STARTER meets certain level) and leaves that batteries isolated. In reality, the starter will always be hooked to the alternator. I...

I'm going to build a dual battery system using the 120A blue sea "add a battery kit". It seems good way to go, simple. I have a question about the wiring however. The entire HOUSE side of the project is straight forward. However, I am wondering if I need to do the STARTER battery in that way...

Can you provide an explanation of where/ how you're placing that 3x3 steel to get that effect? Doesn't the rover drop back to previous height after you remove?

So I went with the RV-5, the only pic I have now is th tent in my basement as it has been raining every day for about a week. I had spoken to someone at Family Tent Camping about the rv-4 and rv-5 and the oztent brand cots. What they shared which I pass along to those with the same questions is...

It's all about the cots! Anybody put your cots along the walls of the oztent rv4? Which brand cots do you find fit without touching the ends of the tent? I'm making decision on rv4 or rv5 as well and this point seems to be the driving decision for me. Specs have the rv4 depth at 7'10". I'm...

Stacking How stackingwell do the maxsa's stack together? I've seen other posts they do not nest well. Can pairs of these mount to the roof rack? Just wondering if this is really a valid "constructive criticism" of this product. Thanks for post Kent

I'll go with the 2000mm ARB awning, just seems like the overall best price/value and had lots of reasonably priced add on options. There is no sail track on the arb but possibly one can be mounted, epoxy'd or drilled on so the oztent connector can be used. Oztent customer service answered my...

I have not had to do myself but multiple posts on similar topics mention the need to update the LR3 software after replacing the compressor. If you replacement was a newer model or alternate brand you will need the software update. Something else to check is the relay. You can really hope...

Fairly certain it was a ground plane antenna, the ngp Ones are normally more expensive. What has you convinced you need a non ground plane antenna? My LR3 has a lot of aluminum on it and I did not ground out the antenna, I found a magnetic spot on roof to apply it. Pretty sure it was the...

Been doing a fair amount of research, which has yielded probable selection of the ARB Awning and a RV-4 Oztent. However, I have 2 unanswered questions. 1) I have a LR3 with the frontrunner rack which is 2155mm long. It would seem that the 2500mm wide awning is going to look way out of place...

I think you will find that rubber antenna is useless unless you are out of the vehicle. I just got same radio and got decent range with the cheap mag antenna I purchased at Walmart. There is thread below in this topic re: front runner roof rack antenna mount. The mag one to me is really...

Update CB worked great. I used SWR on it in the rain, so the following day I redid in a more open area and when dry to make another minor adjustment. I had no issues communicating at least within a mile in woods. Not bad for $25 antenna. The SWR was the important investment. I'll still put...

So I have my radio Midland Handheld and an inexpensive antenna purchased at Walmart to use until I permanently install the firestik. I did however, purchase an SWR meter (arrives tomorrow) and have held back hooking up my radio to it in advance until I can properly tune it. RightChannel had...

Suggest you get your new tires and have them installed when you change them. You can likely get any place you spend that amount of $ to swap rims and tpms. I had my tires mounted at pep boys and they did it for free, I had to pay for balancing. If you walked up to a tire shop not buying tires...

Very helpful. Install seems easy. Question I'm not sure on is whether I need a non ground plane antenna given my primarily glass roof & rack. I might be confusing myself with whether the grounding wire changes what type of antenna I need.

Good size for cot? So a question I have is about the pitch of the rear of the tent and how affects use of a cot. Can you put in cots that run from the rear of the tent towards the door? The rv-3 is 2m = 78". Most cots are around 75". Also, I'm talking about the low height cots like the cave.a...

I want to purchase the Midland portable and put a permanent antenna on my LR3 front runner rack. I'll ground to the right rear point that the satellite radio is and run coax through the light. This seems a simple and effective way to setup without having to cut into the vehicle. My thinking is...

Sim, your trade means you are getting your future tires for near free. If tpms has not gone off, chances are solid the tires you traded have them. The system will auto reset once on the new vehicle. I like my ko2's. They add about 0.75" to truck height. With those tires you may be close to or...
