    Solar + Gas Generator Charging?

    Sorry but I just had to post this, as the thread made me think of this picture I saw on Twitter the other day...

    Flat AGM's

    I had a dead 100 ah Trojan battery that sat for a year without being charged by the previous owner of my trailer. Using my CTEK charger it would only hold about 1/2 its rated charge, even after repeated attempts. I found a local shop with a new Snap-On battery charger and had him do a high...

    LifePO battery 500-1000 Wh with more versatile 12v x 10a outputs?

    I have a 500Wh Lithium Ion battery pack (originally Suaoko brand, now sold by Bluetti) that has served me well for a couple of years running my Dometic CFX50 fridge. It is hard-mounted in my Jeep and I charge it via a 100w solar panel on the roof and use the ciggie plug to power the fridge...

    Water Heaters at High elevations

    Not sure if it helps you, but I have an Atwood/Dometic 6 gal tank unit in my trailer that works perfectly well at 10,000'+ No issues lighting or staying lit

    Great solution for monitoring fridge temp

    I just verified that this little unit actually logs data ON THE PUCK and doesn't require a BT connection to log the data in the phone app. This is really nice as it stores minute-by-minute values for temp and humidity whether or not you are in proximity to the unit. (Excel pivot table of...

    Great solution for monitoring fridge temp

    If you have a fridge that either doesn't have an app or has an app but it requires a Wifi connection to the fridge (like my Dometic) then this might be a great solution for you. I just stumbled across this and thought I'd try it out -so far I am impressed with how easy it was to set up and...

    My vacuum sealer journey

    Very similar story here. Though I wasted more money on the FoodSaver units from Costco before getting serious. I'm hoping my 7-year old Cabela's Professional 15" stainless steel unit lasts until I can afford the Vacmaster VP215 I've been eyeing for 10+ years.... I will say that I have beat...

    Recommendation for a <$200 camp BBQ?

    I have one and it is a really good grill, but I determined that it is too large and bulky for vehicular travel (and I pull a small trailer with my Jeep). I am now on the hunt for something smaller, lighter, and more compact. I do use the Napoleon at home a lot (in fact I did chicken last...

    REDUCED 1995 Tacoma Custom Aluminum Flatbed UTE FlipPac Camper

    Indeed! Drop in engine/trans replacement and some new canvas on that tent and you'd have a really nice rig. Something like the 2UZ-FE or maybe even a Mercedes diesel... Of course, I've done projects like that and ended up spending more money on something than just spending the money up...

    Switching my life to "not Jeans". Can I get some recomendations for good NON JEANS

    I have probably ten pairs of Kuhl pants, three or four shorts (wearing some as I type this in fact) and four or five of their jackets and fleeces. Generally I really like their stuff, but you're right - the cut is usually very "generous" and boxy (even their "tapered fit" pants are very loose...

    Turtleback Adventure tent material and how to clean it?

    I’ve used this on a variety of outdoor gear in the past with good results Nikwax Tent and Gear Cleaning, Waterproofing, and UV Protection https://a.co/3qfZ5Vj Have not tried it on a RTT however. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New to us Tigermoth

    Some pictures here would probably help liven up the conversation. I don't know anything about Tiger Moth trailers, but now I'm curious. ;-)

    Utility/Cargo Trailer that won't fall apart off road

    For washboard roads, you will want something with shocks, I can tell you that. Better still would be independent trailing arms with coil springs and shocks, but thats probably going to put you on the high side of the budget. I say this because the #1 thing in my experience that will destroy a...

    Switching my life to "not Jeans". Can I get some recomendations for good NON JEANS

    As I suspected, too loose a fit for my preference. But for guys looking for a relaxed fit in a 100% synthetic pant, they look very functional.

    Switching my life to "not Jeans". Can I get some recomendations for good NON JEANS

    Black has to be the worst color for pants. Unless you're a member of a SWAT team or want to look tactical (or are waiting tables at an Italian restaurant), I simply do not understand black pants. They fade, show dirt as badly (or worse) than white pants, are HOT if you are hit by sunlight at...

    Switching my life to "not Jeans". Can I get some recomendations for good NON JEANS

    They look slim around the butt/crotch/thigh, but then appear to be quite loose through the legs. That (and the overly stretchy looking fabric) is what puts me off them. I tend to prefer a blend with some cotton in it, and like a slimmer fit through the legs, cause I'm skinny. (though not...

    Is anyone else waiting on a trailer from Four Leaf Clover Fab?

    It is encouraging to see the vendor responding to this thread. My (admittedly unsolicited) advice to both shop and waiting customers is full transparency - share the waiting list, explain to each customer where they are, and let them decide if they want to continue waiting based on that...

    Is anyone else waiting on a trailer from Four Leaf Clover Fab?

    I suggest acting quickly. With the looming economic problems and massive inflation I think we're about to see a bunch of problems in RV, boat, and Trailer Land with people that put down deposits in 2020 money but the small under-capitalized shops are now building (and living) with 2022 prices...

    High Altitude Trailer XT 105

    I have no personal experience with them, but looking quickly at the options and having had a couple of trailers including my current Turtleback with independent Icon suspension, I will never go back to straight axle trailers for off-road applications. The difference is so dramatic when you have...
