    2200 watts of solar on the roof?

    The only real advantage to AGM’s over FLA’s is where you can mount them and the orientation. They come in a variety of dimensions and can be mounted in almost any orientation, and don’t need to be vented so you can put them anywhere inside if you like, which can be very helpful when designing in...

    Building our box out of wood?

    Lol! Come on now, I’m just opening up the imagination. Absolutely no CNC requirement to cut plywood. I think I mentioned pencils and a jigsaw..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Building our box out of wood?

    A lot of these comments about insulation are focusing on the cold weather benefits and moisture issues but I think your ideas of thick walls will really help you keep temperatures down in the warm weather months. Maybe also consider a foil backed insulation? You can always put another blanket on...

    Building our box out of wood?

    With conventional house framing I’d be concerned with it shaking apart on the back of that MTVR. That being said, lotsa guys build full wooden tear drops on steel framed trailers, and most old school campers and motor homes were wood framed. I suppose if you glued, screwed and tattooed the...

    Any deep discounts on fridges online?

    Check out “Unique” portable fridges, I bought mine through Costco. Dual zone, separately controlled, pretty sweet deal. Has been plugged in keeping my beers cold since I bought it this past fall! Lol. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Long flatbed on a short bed truck? Head of it?

    Example of an “unbendable” domestic super frame! [emoji57] Guessing a 24’ extension on a 20’ van frame! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Long flatbed on a short bed truck? Head of it?

    Popular down under behind crew cab mini trucks. Problem only arises when you overload. You end up stressing the frame and possibly bending it. Keep your payload #’s and positioning in check and you’ll be fine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Cool tool battery set up! Do you notice any diesel exhaust stink running just outside the tent like that? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Brown Davis Long Range Transfer Tank Group Buy

    Well, food for thought, imagine how warm your fuel rail gets. How about the gas tank sitting directly above your air cooled rototiller engine, or lawnmower. I honestly believe you have zero worries about the exhaust heat radiating off your muffler heating up that 19.5gal tank to the point of...

    I’m curious why that looks sketchy? It’s a heavy gauge steel tank, not plastic. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Help with rust

    I use a needle scaler on an air hammer to knock off all the rust scale first. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Winter driving with 4x4 lift and knobby tires.

    305’s are just too wide for slush, snow and ice. I wouldn’t recommend running anything wider than a 265. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Honda/ Subaru/ Toyota

    All three of them have fairly low tow ratings, I’d suspect in the 1500-2500lbs region. The new generation RAV is available with a 3500lbs rating depending on certain options. Not sure about the Subaru but the CRV and RAV are timing chain engines so no belt to change... I think the RAV still has...

    Expo-Capable Airplane Hauler | Seeking Design Advice

    Again, the unnecessary weight of a 24’ enclosed trailer.... If camping is required, there’s lots of 4th Gen T4R sleep platform or RTT setups to be referenced here, that simplifies the trailer needs/build some more. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
