I agree with the above posts about checking the ground. I had a similar problem ( not with the meter not moving at all) but with the firestick. Cobra radio, workman SWR meter and RG8X cable and jumper cable for the meter. Good ground on the radio, and a gutter antenna mount which was screwed...

Did that one last year but going up, came up from Durango on the San Juan Skyway to Telluride then to Ridgway on to Ouray then S on 550. Your right about that drive! Pretty scary ******** when your a flatlander from Florida. lol

Renogy panels an controllers have good reviews. Check out Hightec Solar and Renogy on EBay. Im going to upgrade to the Hightec 180W mono. Got really good reviews, free shipping , American made, 15 year warranty, 3 buss for low light conditions.

I used the MX4 which is about 1/2” thick butal rubber with a thin protective layer, thinner than the foil, and could tear, on the walls and under the rear seat and spare tire well where thickness wasnt an issue and the UT-50 about a 1/4 “ on the rear deck and floor under the carpet and doors...

Parts Express.com Sonic Barrier......Speaker Building/Automotive/Home Theater. 1/2 the price and just as good. Used it in our Subaru Outback.

Panels have drastically dropped in price in the last several years. You can purchase a mono 180w panel and controller for around $200 this would give you a little under a 10A charge.

We just got back from a trip to Co.,Wyoming, and S. Dakota from Florida. We were pretty well loaded down after planning the trip for a year and not knowing what to expect in some areas while dispersed camping. Some of the passes were white knuckle drives especially going down Slumgullion Pass...

We use a 110v heating pad on low, high throws off way too much heat. 15-20w dosent effect inverter draw on the batteries at all. I turn it on about an hour before we go to bed. A lot more efficient than trying to heat the whole interior. Just tuff getting out of a toasty bed on a really cold...

I am not impressed with interstate batteries. When I started a new job years ago they were an Interstate dealer so I got them at cost. Bought one for my car, one for my truck and 3 group 27s for my boat. With in a year and a half they all went south even when they were well maintained.

They hit the Overland Bound site about 2 months ago. Same MO

Your correct about not having any marine knowledge. Structual issues drilling a drain hole in a transom? I guess if you get caught in a good storm you can always bail with a dixie cup or paddle to shore, take all your gear out and turn it over to get the water out. There is a reason 99.9% of...

Install a drain plug, you can get the tube, transom plug. and a small tube of 3M 5200 and you will be good to go, under $20 for the whole project. You can get all the parts at a West Marine

How old is your battery? I would check that and clean all the terminals. If all that is good, check the specs on the battery see what the cold cranking amps spec is, you could probably find one with a higher CCA rating then you probably wouldnt get as big voltage drop. Also how long and what...

I do not know anything about their offroad tires but their street tires are terrible. Had a set on my Porsche, they were the worse set of tires I ever owned. I got rid of them. They were so bad they were to the point of being dangerous. You would take the car into a sharp turn and the car would...

Blue Sea Systems has a great website with block diagrams of different systems and a great tech line with a very friendly staff for all your questions. 10 ga seems kind off light to me for a run that long, I used 4 and Im charging 2 group 31 AGMs but I overkill projects for a dependablity factor...

I agree, on the roadtreks some things I liked some things I hated, like the one with the shower in the middle in front of the galley?,combination bed and dinette?,so if I want to lay down I dont have to rearrange the entire cabin, I looked at alot, got ideas, took pix, and modified different...

I customized a conversion van. Im not the kind of guy that is going to drop $150k when I can build it myself. Mine has all the features and more than a roadtrek and saved $125K. The only thing I dont have is 4 wheel drive. We just boondocked thru Co, Wyoming, South Dakota, we camped on the...

Didnt try that, loaded some 2M freq we use and some call and emergency channels and gave that one to the Wife LOL! Also I read more and it seems to be a cluster in the FCCs wording stating the old styles are illegal to use even for Hams, after dragging their feet for years not enforcing the...
