I think I would skip a second receiver since I never tow anything and I would still need a swing arm or I could not open the right rear door. Good point. I know of a shop that could probably do it for me, but I always try to avoid custom work for ease of replacement alone. Still, I agree...

I’m based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m hoping to keep it to kayaks or SUPs under 10 feet to avoid drag or clearance issues. This would be behind my truck camper: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/the-grand-terrainer-2017-ford-f-250-and-spacekap-diablo-8.207675/

I am looking for a vertical kayak/SUP swing hitch rack that is or can be biased to the right side of the rear to not completely block my rear view camera. I plan on leaving it on full time, hence the rear view camera necessity. Does anyone know of one or anyone who does custom work?

Wow, it sounds like you are trying to build my rig: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/the-grand-terrainer-2017-ford-f-250-and-spacekap-diablo-8.207675/

Andreas at Total Composites has finally put together his DIY truck camper kits. If I was starting from scratch today, I would buy one of these kits flat packed and shipped to my door for easy assembly and even better insulation for around the same price and brand new...

I took the rig to a weigh station for the first time to figure out what the final build weighs. Fully loaded with two passengers, it weighs 8,500 pounds. With the GVWR of 10,000 pounds, it is well under which explains why it runs and handles so well.

I have 2 x Victron Orion-Tr Smart 12|12-30 Isolated DC/DC Chargers for sale here on ebay: http://ebay.us/5cRhLy?cmpnId=5338273189 Perfect working condition with cosmetic scratching from install. Used for a week but decided on another solution. My loss your gain!

Just to cap the thread, I have found a nice solution. I cut rounds of 3M Filtrete room air conditioner filter sheets: https://www.amazon.com/Filtrete-Conditioner-15-Inch-24-Inch-9808-12/dp/B000BO96IW That I put inside the screen of my MaxxAir roof fan. They are very thin but seem to do a...

With the crazy fire situation completely blocking all the sun here in NorCal, I am looking to see if I can install a simple shore power/wall charger for my battery system. Just run an extension cord to a 120v outlet. I have a 300ah LiFePO4 House Battery I would like to charge. This new NOCO...

A few additional upgrades. I built an 80/20 framed bunk bed in the same current footprint as the original bed. Plenty large for someone under 5’ 10” up top. I am also getting an LOD rear bumper installed since the stock plastic one has cracked from all the regular heavy usage.

I have another question. Is there any good thin cut to fit material (filtrete, etc.) where I can cut a circle to fit inside the screen of the MaxxAir fan (I think there is about 1/4 of an inch of clearance)? I don't care if I need to run it a few settings higher if I can filter out soot and...

I think I would mount one of these: https://airboxfilter.com/Airboxfilters/air-box-jr-intake-hepa Prefilter plus a MERV-13 filter (can-filter only has a MERV-5 equivalent of this so this would seem much better for filtering the dangerous particulates which carbon filters do not even touch...

Wow, thanks for all the feedback everyone. I think I will be experimenting with an affordable compromise option first: https://www.levoit.com/allproducts/lv-h126-desktop-hepa-air-purifier Prefilter->HEPA Filter->Activated Carbon Filter $60 all together for handling small spaces well with...

Thanks for some great ideas right out of the gate. Sure, here is my rig: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/the-grand-terrainer-2017-ford-f-250-and-spacekap-diablo-8.207675/

Does anyone have experience with any efficient 12 volt cabin air filtration systems? The wildfire smoke out here in Northern California is tough for full timers.

You can special order screens for them through Bomar directly.

I believe they do make some and other aftermarket options are available too obviously. I like the Bomar roof hatch and Maxxair fan for better privacy and security myself.

Hmm, good points all around! It does make me wonder if RO might be overkill? Currently, I am thinking about something like this: https://www.highwaterfilters.com/products/katadyn-expedition-high-capacity-water-filter to fill my 5 gallon jerry cans quickly and easily and then using high...

I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with portable (probably marine grade) reverse osmosis purification systems? I am hoping to find a really compact version with electric pump and hose to refill my water jerry can(s) from any water source I come across.
