This is a fairly common question that we get at AutoHome. The short answer is that it is a lot of work for dubious benefit. 1. You need to get outside in order to open and close the tent 2. Cutting through the floor MAY be possible, but then there is the issue of hinging the mattress, hinging...

A couple of points... The fridge will not be running 24 X7 - it will cycle on and off depending a lot on insulation and ambient temp. My fridge doesn't anywhere near 3 amps/hour - probably less than 1/2 that when running, and it isn't running much of the time. A thermal jacket is a very good...

Corey I have sample enough for one or two tents. With the Spring sales surge and OX'11 we have not had time to do much with it. Call me and I'll see if you want to play with it. Thanks,

Call Gary at Mudrak Custome Cruisers in Sonoma. I am sure that he can fix you up. Or call Redeem at Teton Adventure Gear in Jackson Hole, WY. He also rents tents.

I have run many Windows aps on Windows hosted on a Mac virtual machine. Very solid and fast - and will restart from where you left off - no re-launching of aps. I like the ON product and will get a copy with Western maps for my future in-vehicle slate.

Personal protection while traveling s a Colt Officer's Model .45 SCP. General truck gun is a 17 rimfire magnum. But I am often bird hunting so I also have shotguns on board.

The 3-way fridges are very inefficient - seem to be designed to use in an RV with shore power. I got rid of my 3-way and put a marine 12V fridge in - mo' betta.

Corey - does this comment qualify as a 'gear review'?

I think the bill is a bad idea. It pre-empts preservation of possible future wilderness areas. Further, over the years I have found that "multiple use" is simply govspeak for "development". That this is a Republican sponsored House bill is no surprise - their environmental and public lands...

This is the solution that I am working on now. I think it is very possible but would use a Windows slate with SS memory. I also want to store and play my tunes on this, move it from the LC to the F350, etc.

I really like the marine style butt connectors that have shrink tube WITH ADHESIVE inside for areas exposed to vibration and moisture. Just strip, crimp, heat and done.

What winch?

I have used welded poly potable water tanks on both my trailers with zero bad taste. As long as they are certified for potable (cold) water storage, I seriously doubt that you will be poisoned by the tank material. On my Landcruiser and in my truck I use a Spectre water can made of food-grade...

I'm looking hard at the LeNovo IdeaPad Slate. Please share what you find out there...

I am a MAC user, so I started my search for a NAV Tablet with the iPad. I found that it only has one USB port and power is supplied via the USB port - so where do I plug in my GPS aerial USB connector? Can I run the mapping SW I want on the iPad? Nope. Now looking for a Windows 7 touch screen...

The grounded model is intended for marine and RV applications where you must run the ground back to source, thus doubling the run and resulting loss to resistance. In car or truck loads are normally grounded to the frame or body, so no run back is required. I used the grounded model when wiring...

U sed a Caframo folding 12V sailboat fan in my Extreme for a couple years. Just wired it into the 12V feed for the light. http://www.westmarine.com/1/1/21793-sirocco-cabin-fans-12v-dc-fan-0-25a-high-draw-0-20a-medium-0-1a-low-white.html

I have used these, and they are available, I believe, in two models... one with a ground bus for marine spec apps, and another without the ground bus, which is what I would use in automotive applications. This way you use the battery/vehicle ground and need not worry about an additional ground...

I have mounted 2 banks of (2) AGM 6V golf cart batteries in my Airstream - under the bunks. There is little chance of off-gassing if the balance of your electrical system is up to snuff. I should note that I dumped the factory converter and installed a converter with sensor and multi-stage...

I travel all over the West. I just stop at truck stops (free WiFi) or libraries (free WiFi), there is a lot of free access out there. Or buy a USB 3G cell modem.
