There are a thousand youtube videos of this. It is just a house battery setup. Lots of threads too. 1. Smart box can be good, has some plugs and charge ports and maybe a breaker. 2. Get a LFP. Only need an AGM if below freezing and need to charge battery, and can't keep it warmed above...

Uhmm... that must be new. Stationed in UK and Germany, I rented cars and drove all over and never had one of those. 1990 though...

Tune has come out with some jacks to do the same, drive in and out.

Don't waste time on 12v kettle. Get a 120v for sure. Very efficient and fast. I buy quality vac bags, and assume they are ok. Every item and piece of meat I buy at store is packaged in bags. If it needs to change, I'm not gonna be the guy spearheading that with my few times a month camping...

@Mules I had same problem, it leaked out top. I posted in the Tune group, and got 2 fixes. 1. The pressure valve or hole on top leaks, so replace that with a screw in 1ft tall plastic hose with air valve on top. It is an off the shelf part made for motorcycles, i will look for a link. Its a...

If you write it, I will read it ;) you're an interesting guy!

Saw that, thx!

Anyone else unable to reach OverlandBound.com site and forums, last few days?

I like the Pecrons. I am on two FB Pecron groups though, so of course I see complaints from all the folks who have had issues. A few folks got stations that arrived inop and had to get a replacement. Most all issues were resolved. But just from reading folks issues, now I like to make sure...

@ITTOG what kind of camper is it? I can't remember your rig. That pecron 3600 is very good, if you got a good one that is working. I'm still happy with my Pecron e1500LFP. Depending on total electricity used, 200W may not be enoigh if you sit still for days.

I say RUN FORREST, RUN!

You're correct, it is a friction fit... but a real solid d one. Xt60 is basically used for most all remote model cars and airplanes, so things that need a solid hookup. I DO wish it had some kinda locking click, but no DC really does. Car port, 5521, 5525, all usb, 8mm, none have a locking...

No one local 30 miles in Phx has a Highlander, Landcruiser, Grand Highlander, 4Runner, or Sequoia! Can't believe it. A few have these in transit, already sold, that I might see if I time it fast. They basically have 4cab Tacoma and Rav4. I did confirm the Grand Highlander is midway between a...

Definitely! Every cigarette port I've used comes loose! My silly 12v blanket constantly stops working at night, I need to chop that port off and use an xt60. I have a bunch of xt60 connectors, problem with them is you have to solder and the heat is enough to melt or warp the plastic, if you...

Dude... I'm wasn't talking to you or replying to you here. This thread is obviously not for you. You are just trashing it up, completely ignoring everything I posted in #1 for the criteria, and just arguing pointlessly! If YOU don't want a 30A dc port, or want to use 1800W AC devices while...

New video from Jasonoid which discusses exactly why this thread exists. Here he talks about the lack of high power dc outlets on many stations. Again from my opening post where I add up all the concurrent 12vdc use you might do at once while truck camping, I use 30A 12vdc output as a criteria...

Smart idea, I didn't even consider that! I will look!

Good info, she specifically wants more room for bigger kids now. I like any excuse that leans me towards the LC hehe

Great advice thx!

As per title, my wife wants to replace her Honda CRV with a new car. She said she wants a bit larger now, for space for 3 teens and us. I want Toyota. I am smelling some opportunity here!! I have a Tacoma OffRoad 6ft accesscab with Tune popup topper, as my overland camping vehicle... but might...
