    How Many Awning Mounting Brackets?

    4 years on my 8x6 awning with only two mounts. No issues.

    Hema vs Gaia

    Hema NA is basically abandonware at this point.

    Best place to buy a fridge?

    Smittybilt claims a Danfoss compressor, and this is clearly an identical model, so you're likely right. http://www.smittybiltdepot.com/Outdoor-Lifestyle-and-Camping/Smittybilt-Arctic-Fridge-Freezer-Charcoal-2789.aspx?t_c=88&t_s=564&t_pt=101601&t_pn=S%2FB2789

    Best place to buy a fridge?

    The Costway appears to be the same refrigerator as what Smittybilt is selling, just in different colored plastic. It is confirmed that the bag Smittybilt sells fits the Costway models perfectly, so I'm sure you're right about everything coming from the same Chinese manufacturer. The Smittybilt...

    Best place to buy a fridge?

    If you're looking for budget options with positive reviews, there's Whynter. https://amzn.to/2AL2xHo If, like me, you're down to try a no-name generic, check out Costway. https://www.costway.com/54-quarts-portable-electric-car-cooler-refrigerator.html It's most affordable straight from the...

    Coleman Campstove Oven carrying case?

    I'll measure my oven and edit this post with any relevant links, but I suspect https://www.blueridgeoverlandgear.com probably has a bag that will fit it. Dimensions are 12¼ x 12 x 3. The 3" is only so because of the knob, but with some creativity, I could see a nice 12 x 12 bamboo cutting...

    Thule Acquires Tepui

    The author really hates rooftop tents and fails to acknowledge any of the pros, like always being out of the mud, sleeping on a thick, comfortable mattress, storing bedding and other items outside of the cabin, having some shelter on the ground when the tent is open, etc.

    Thule Acquires Tepui

    The price points of Tepui and below have allowed the market to explode. The competition has been good for everyone except those charging more for the same stuff.

    Awnings - Driver or Passenger side mounted?

    After all this time and having had it on both sides, I've decided something: no matter which side you mount the awning, it is always the wrong side.

    Cracks on James Baroud Evasion

    Those parallel lines of "just dirt" definitely look to be a transfer from another object. The crack coming down from the rivet hole would also suggest forces exerted upon that area. ?

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    Sounds ridiculous to Americans, where the ability to defend yourself is a presumed right. When you start putting conditions on the preservation of life, what do you really value?

    One couples experience with Overland Explorer

    I have dealt with businesses like this that screw the pooch, won't take responsibility, and either because of pride or finances, never make things right. Few things are more frustrating. I do residential construction and commercial building maintenance, and there's one detail that throws a...

    For those that carry Guns and Overlanding

    I carry. I accept the protection of myself and my family as my responsibility. I choose to use what I believe to be the best tool for me to do that job. A few notes: · Concealed carry permit holders are statistically more law-abiding than the police. · People who are anti-gun still call for...

    Table? Level your stove?

    I stick my leather gloves under the feet of the stove as needed.

    Coolant Rust

    I had a Jeep 4.0 with a similar problem a few years ago. I spliced a Peak flush kit into the heater hose, so that made flushing things effective and easy. I ran the engine and the heat the entire time I was flushing. It took a while to flush it clear. From there, I mixed some Cascade...

    Smittybilt Arctic 52qt Fridge, anyone have one?

    Does this generic refrigerator look familiar to anyone? https://www.costway.com/54-quarts-portable-electric-car-cooler-refrigerator.html I think I'm going to pick one up and try it out.

    Awnings - Driver or Passenger side mounted?

    Originally placed on the driver side, we found that the awning provided significantly more shade on the passenger side when were backed up to the shore, as is the norm in the Outer Banks. The following photos were taken about a year apart, but at roughly the same time of year and same time of...

    Single wall metal coffee mug with spillproof lid

    Look through the offerings from Klean Kanteen. I know they offer something called the Cafe Cap, but I don't know what it fits. I bought a 4-pack of their cups a few years ago and that's been pretty much all I drink from whether at home, at work, or on the trail.

    Seam Grip

    Primarily just needed outside for weatherproofing seams. Depends on what you're doing with it.
