I should mention that before we did the cabinet in the back, we used to sleep in the back of the car using a custom made RV mattress. Soooo nice! We have since installed a RTT so we can have the 'kitchen' permanently in the back - it's nice, but I'm a little torn which setup I like more, since...

Yeah, a lot of progress actually - I should do a build thread... Here's what I did: Removed back seat and built a storage box that also houses a inverter and soon a second battery Built a cabinet in the back for drawers, water/shower, fridge, etc. I made all of this using 3/4" birch plywood...

Sold a few of these, others still up for grabs. Happy to negotiate on price.

If not, I have one for sale ($50) here in San Diego too - lightly used. DM if interested (meant to put this on Craigslist but didn't get around to it....)

Yeah, the starter battery just act as a charge device when I'm driving the car (Jeep GC) - when the alternator isn't running, everything is being charged via solar (switching from one to the other is done manually). Thought about getting a proper setup with a deep cycle battery, but I have very...

Yup, all in one device and I'll get an inline ammeter installed as well (I should have done this when I installed the inverter...). The EcoFlow (target battery) is Lithium-ion 1260Wh, and the Odyssey is AGM #49-950 (this is my sole battery - so it's also the starter battery). EcoFlow...

Thanks guys for all the advice. So taking that into consideration, here's my current thinking: Hook a 12V > 48V DC-DC step up voltage regulator directly to my 12V Odyssey battery via 8 gauge wire. I can get a 48V / 8A regulator, giving me 384 watts (max input to the EcoFlow is 400 watts). E.g...

Hey guys - thanks for chiming in - and yeah, I'd prefer to KISS... Here's the issue though - at 12V, the EcoFlow will only accept 10A, so going directly from the battery maxes out at 120W. If I up the voltage (up to 65V DC) then I can get up to 400W input - but that, of course, would require...

Hi folks, I have a 600W Samlex hooked up to my Odyssey battery 49-950 in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Until recently, I used the inverter with my Jackery 500, which has a 100W input charge cable and my Dometic CFX35 fridge (~80W). The inverter/battery combo should be plenty powerful enough for that...

Thanks Chris, very helpful. So I found out it's an LMR-195 cable and I'm assuming SMA connectors would be the way to go. WeBoost themselves recommended I did not splice the cables because of data loss. My initial reaction was "whatever, I'm sure it'll be fine", but I think my first post made it...

I bought a WeBoost Drive Reach OTR a little while back and I just broke the antenna trying to unscrew it. WeBoost will mail me a new antenna (cat # 311229), but I really really don't want to have to redo all the internal wiring since that's an absolute PITA in my Grand Cherokee. I'm therefore...

If you have the V8, you have the HD brakes = can't put 17s on it. FWIW, I run Nitto Ridge Grappler's at 265/65r18 and I like them - E-rated so they'll hold up to the rocks here in CA. If you're looking for something more comfortable, the Nitto ain't it - same for the KO2s. If you're not too...

I'd shoot them an email - I was missing a part too and they just sent me a new one, no charge.

Thank y'all - a lot of really good stuff here and great ideas. Great idea! I hadn't thought of that, but this is a nice and easy way to make the platform more functional and future proof it a little. Easy to do as well, so I'll make sure to add some in. If nothing else, I can use the points to...

Hi everybody, I got bored over the TG break and decided to remove the back seat in our 2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk - because, why not. So step 1 is completed, but I haven't really thought too much about step 2.... We often sleep in the back of the car, so I was hoping to build out a platform...

I created a platform in the back of my Q5 so we could sleep inside the car - worked pretty well and I could fit boxes underneath. The platform needs to extend past the folded down backseats, but you can definitely make it work if you're ~6ft or below. Building the platform also helps make the...

I went through exactly the same decision process a few years ago with a 2014 Q5. Got stuck on a rock, insurance paid a bunch of money, sold the Audi and bought a loaded Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. Never looked back.

I got a set of Midland T71VP3 and both battery life and range have been great - don't really need to charge them for our shorter ~3 day trips (but I could if I wanted - it's just a simple micro USB cable (unlike some other radios)). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SLHM6HY

Yeah, I did a few days back, but unfortunately haven't heard back... I tried pinging them on Facebook yesterday too - maybe that'll work.
