    Pimp my Roof Tent

    Use 1.4 million of them on your truck, and the remainder on your . . . offroad mower. :)

    Pimp my Roof Tent

    Yes, I love their names of products. Perhaps the PÅTÅR makes a good camp coffee pot? Sure does look snazzy. Designed by the brilliant Magnus Lundström of Ikea's spice mill fame - not the other one.

    But did they spell your name correctly? :)

    12V Socket for Fridges: clever ones?

    Yes. :sombrero: But I think it was you who suggested turning that sucker vertical. I'm going to do that next time I feel like crawling in there. In the mean time, though, I've installed a tighter cable clip thingy, which is already improved the situation.

    12V Socket for Fridges: clever ones?

    :) To follow up, I didn't even put this socket to use for my fridge. It's too pretty to bury back there. Instead, I've put it in the tool box for general use. Specifically, a 12V camp fan in the tent!

    Pimp my Roof Tent

    Ah much questions about the wiring. Let's see if this will help. The bottom line is that the wire just runs right through the flap at the hinge. My initial testing has been satisfactory. There's a junction in the main power wire where each of the 4 LED strips plugs into for some juice...

    Good times ..... I was on my best behavior since I was around such young and impressionable minds.

    My new vehicle: 2005 Nissan Frontier

    Eh . . . why not? I'm not sure of the right place to put this, so I'll put it here. Check out this crazy stuff, it's right up the same alley as I Lost My No-Loss Valve Cap. I lost --- are you sitting down? --- the lens cap from one, just one, of my Lightforce 170's. And I know where, sort...

    My new vehicle: 2005 Nissan Frontier

    That's fantastic. Thanks, bro. I'd like to see someone install a dual battery system under the hood, but I just don't think it's possible (well, with a mortal's budget anyway). Where do you intend to put yours? Post 'er up when you get it in. :beer:

    Pimp my Roof Tent

    Welcome to this exciting episode of Pimp My Roof Tent. Just kidding. Somewhat. Check it. I took Pat's idea and ran with it. LEDs inside the Eezi-Awn (thread). For $50 at IKEA, you can get this package of LEDs that has 4 strips about 12" long and all connected to a single switch. Totally...

    RTT concerns

    If you're only looking at the Eezi-Awn, you could certainly add more supports that flip down and extend just like the ladder. The mammoth 2200 has two ladders, though. Look at the Technitop tents, too. The base isn't plywood. If you didn't have 3.5, a hardshell tent like the Maggiolina would...

    My new vehicle: 2005 Nissan Frontier

    Ah, it lives. As for the jack mount, it's not 100% worthless. Picture. I had to pound on one of the mounting points to get it to line up with the holes on the jack's ladder. The shackle mount on the right gets in the way of the moving parts on the jack, so you've go to finesse it into...

    Which GPS receiver and software to use with laptop?

    :clapsmile I know what that feels like.

    Which GPS receiver and software to use with laptop?

    Yes. Here's one. I know Lance (1leglance) has used one of these, and possibly still does. At any rate, you are right, you don't need a receiver with a screen if you're going to be running software on a laptop anyway.

    Good stuff. Are any of these pictures from Bulldog Canyon? I've never driven that one, and would like to do so.

    12V Socket for Fridges: clever ones?

    Good question. I purchased the clever box from AT - their box uses that same locking outlet you posted from Cabella's. As it turns out, it's only 1/6400ths the size of an actual pool table. Pictures on the web sure are deceiving.

    Wiring, terminal and fuse best practices?

    Seriously, this puzzles me. It's dated technology that works. Like good ol' wall outlets. :beer: However, the ol' chicken crossing the road has nothing on this quandary: which came first, the 12v cigarette lighter or the accessories that plug into it? Wink, wink.

    On showers, pump failures, and body odors

    So your plan is to connect the pump as you need it, rather than hard mount it? I hope that works out for you. That should prolong the pump. Is this because you don't want it to take up space full time?

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Will trade 1-year-old daughter for SportsMobile. Serious inquires only. GOD!!! I just found my new favorite thread. SMBs have been high on my list for a few years now . . . I'll go back to drooling now. Chris's is especially inspiring to me. Gracias!
