As my family grew I struggled with this problem as well. I started out by myself in a 2 door XJ rock crawler with room for days. Now I have three boys from 6-14, a wife and a dog. The JT has been our latest solution to the make-it-fit problem. We have done a lot of great trips in it but it's...

Good points all. The diode is an LED and there is a resistor in there too that I neglected to draw. I should update that. It's just to let me know the power is on. The pump fuse seems to hold with 5 amps so I guess I'll leave it unless it pops. I can't find any current specs on the pump I have...

Mostly I just wanted to share what I am doing with the community. Most systems seem to be a good bit more complicated. I’m open to any feedback on how I could have set it up better if you see anything. This system lives in the bed of my truck under a shell and is more or less permanently...

What worked?

Thanks for the info. This is what I was missing. I'll have to reach out to domestic and see about my unit. Since I don't have anything else on the circuit with my fridge other than the battery itself, I may not have noticed the problem, though I suspect my unit simply has not experienced the...

I'm missing something here. I have a Dometic CFX3-75DZ that I use in my truck. I keep it on most of the time and plug it into shore power when parked at home. Both leads are in all the time and the DC is connected all the time. If it has AC it runs on that and does not deplete the battery. If...

Seems like there are many solid tents listed already but I don’t have any experience with them so for what it’s worth, I’ll tell you about what has worked for my family. I searched for years for something that ticked all my boxes. Spring bar was high on my list. The reasons I never pulled the...

From my point of view, and having never actually used a rope, the ropes are just too bulky and seem more prone to tangling in storage. I keep two of ARBs under the back seat of my jeep in a very small space and they stay nicely coiled and out of the way. I guess if I tried a rope and it was a...

I have rented a sat phone from roadpost.com for a few trips and it has always worked as expected. We were able to receive calls from members of the group that were coming in at different times and such even from inside the cabins we were staying in. We had to go out to have a conversation. It's...

This is poetry!

Seems like the cage would need to be addressed. I can't see the value in the high top roof if the cage is still running through it. A one piece cage would be a big upgrade anyway.

Not that it is directly relevant to your question but I got my all time best tank towing a light but loaded off road trailer across Nevada. 19.6 mpg....

I have the same rig and towing with it is great. If you are thinking of flat towing the xj I would think breaks would be an issue. If you have a reasonably light flat bed with breaks I'm sure it will do fine. I occasionally pull a very heavy (not sure the weight) trailer with a heavy 70 ft...

Offroad The very fact that you have to ask what they mean is the reason you should not use them on HAM. Counterpoise was pointing out that they are slang found on the CB band and would not be received well in HAM where clear plain talk is valued. I have been a HAM for years and I usta drive a...

Thanks Lucky

Any chance you could provide part numbers?

Sold?

Looks like the tank is threaded 3/8. Presumably this is npt. Also note that the pump is not rated for drinking water. I'll be waiting to see how it works out I have looked at these tanks for a trailer I am building. I think for my use I will want a pump rated for drinking water. May be harder...

A pair of HTs can work ok for Vehicle to Vehicle though you are going to need to be fairly close. A lot of the limited power of your HT is never going to leave the cage of your vehicle. All that said, all you really have to do is get on the same frequency. The question then becomes what...

The simplest answer is that they need to be on the same frequency, and I may add a frequency for which both parties have legal right to operate... Beyond that it can get a bit more involved. A bit of context would be helpful in more fully answering your question. What radios? What band? What is...
