Hey, folks out there with 2012+ F-150 crew-cab short beds, can you confirm your fuel tank size for me? I'm doing some research and I've found a couple of non-official sources (Edmunds and one other) that both say 36 gallons in the F150 Crew Cab Short bed - that's astonishing to me. Really? 36...

Back in August the 12v battery in our travel trailer died. Since I had been wanting to do the 2 x 6v Golf Cart (GC) battery swap anyway I figured that was as good a time as any to do it. Ordered the box and did the swap - used 2 x duracell deep cycle FLA batteries with 230ah and it's worked...

I really haven't done much "off roading" this year but our last camping trip of the year took us to the SW region of Utah near Bryce Canyon (we camped at Kodachrome Basin State Park.) One of our "day trips" was a drive out to the slot canyons along Hole-in-the-rock road in Grand Staircase...

OK, so first and foremost, I'm an idiot, I admit it. :o . We got our new CLAM shelter in the mail. Big heavy thing in a big cardboard box. . So, without thinking, I grab my box cutter :rolleyes: and open it up. . And now my brand new, never used, CLAM shelter has a couple of cuts in the...

Trying to measure amp draw using a multi meter. Followed instructions I found online and made a simple 12 V socket with bare wires on the positive side. The idea is I'll plug one end into the 12 V socket and plug my appliance into the other. I'll hook up my multi meter in between in order to...

Back in August I replaced the single 12v battery in our trailer (a T@B Clamshell) with a dual 6v golf cart battery setup. That required a new battery box and now I have an empty battery box sitting in my Pathfinder. I was going to just throw it out when I got an idea: Maybe I could get an...

Some may have seen my post that the lid broke on my Indel-B TB-41 / Truckfridge TF-41 back in May. It broke because my wife couldn't remember not to let it slam when she was getting something out of the fridge. :rolleyes: . I ordered a new lid but couldn't figure out how to get the pins in to...

Wife and I just got back from a week long road trip from Denver to San Diego. Originally I wanted to take my 2002 R50 Pathfinder but she convinced me that it would be better to take her car, a 2010 Honda CR-V that we bought in 2015. . I just wanted to pass on a few observations from our long...

I know people come onto internet forums to ********** about poor or overpriced service so I wanted to take a few minutes here to RAVE about a local BMW service facility here in the Denver area. . My '02 R1150R "Bumblebee" (yellow with blue stripes) had been running rough for a couple of months...

Anyone here do decent quality cloth/synthetic seat covers OVER their factory leather seats? . If you did, curious as to how it worked out for you. . When I got my 'Burb in 2015 I really wanted leather seats, because I'd never had a vehicle with leather before and it seemed like a very...

As I posted in the other thread, I went ahead and got the HQST foldable 100w solar panel with the PWM controller attached. . Works fine but I need to tweak it a bit and so I'm soliciting some input from the experts here. :sombrero: . I need to make a cable that runs from the controller...

Reading through some of the fridge threads it occurred to me that many people (including us) put frozen stuff at the bottom of their fridge and then pack the less frozen stuff on top. . While it makes perfect sense to have the coldest stuff on the bottom, the problem (at least with my Indel-B...

We have 2 fiberglass sit-on-top kayaks that we carry with us when we will be camping at a water feature. The only issue is noise - the straps make an awful howling noise on the highway. . Here's what I think may be happening: Our kayaks have a relatively flat bottom with a pronounced keel...

Does anyone know if it's feasible to repair a broken hinge on an Indel-B / Truckfridge TB-41/TF-41? After 3 hard seasons, ours finally broke. The fridge functions fine but the lid is basically just sitting on the fridge body. It seems the broken part is on the lid so I think replacing the...

Last year I put together a solar setup using a Renogy 100w panel and an MPPT controller. I only used it twice because it was a little bit cumbersome, the worst part being the transporting of the panel itself, which was the big, rigid 100w panel of the type you typically see on houses. . I was...

(Xposted from Tahoe/Yukon forum since this one appears to be a bit more active.) . I want to call on the GMT-800 Mafia here on ExPo for a possible/potential 4wd issue on my Suburban. . We got a late spring snow here on the Front Range of Colorado. Got almost a foot of heavy wet slushy snow...

Coming home from a camping trip this morning - everything was working fine all weekend, then driving through slow traffic in Fort Collins, I noticed the battery light flashing and the DIC was intermittently displaying a "battery not charging" message. I looked at the dash volt meter and it was...

We "discovered" these back in 2013 (when we had our first fridge, a very small 19qt Dometic unit.) We were staying at a KOA in Cody, WY in our little teardrop trailer and they were giving them away for free. . Now I'll never waste fridge space with hash browns again. Super easy to make and...

I've seen this come up in a couple of other threads but I wanted to ask here because I'm not certain how this works. . I put a dual battery system into my Suburban, isolating the house battery with a 200a solenoid that is powered by being connected to the fuse block on a circuit that is only...

So this is a followup to a thread I posted in January: . http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/167532-VQ35-engine-oil-level-question-(R50-Pathfinder-) . For those who don't want to read it, vehicle is a 2002 R50 Pathfinder, 5 speed, VQ35 engine with ~ 121,000 miles on it (it's cherry!) I...
