    A Little Different M416 Trailer Build

    yeah good luck getting that filled up at any retail shop.. that black paint is going to cause the over pressure device to release gas sitting in the sun, at best.. worst of course a fire or boom. They wont accept rusty tanks, not because rust compromises the tank but because the rust is dark...

    Is my Jeep too heavy?

    FTFY, I get the impression here that you've not taken a trailer down anything technical? seems your speculating hard to justify your aversion to em.. border crossings are nothing for a well built trailer, and if your shipping vehicles across oceans, whats a few more thousand dollars in the grand...

    Purchasing Vehicle Out of State - Registration/Tags/Insurance Issues

    Figures, I got pulled over 5 times between 11pm and 3am driving across Kansas with a burnt out tail light on my Jeep.. none of em could point me to a place to buy a bulb at that hour in the middle of nowhere.. luckily after the first one none of em gave me anymore fix-it tickets.. think i had to...

    Olympian Camco Wave 6 and the propane alarm help!

    Ive got a wave 6 and a propex furnace (external combustion) in my 20ft toy hauler with two canvas popouts, wave 6 is definitely far too much heater for a teardrop.. on its own it does a decent job of heating the trailer but I only run it over night when everyone is asleep to reduce the power...

    Purchasing Vehicle Out of State - Registration/Tags/Insurance Issues

    ive driven across country w/no tags and just the bill of sale and title, at least 3 times from buying from individual sellers, DMV's are not known for being open on the weekends.. just about every place should be willing to give you til monday to get some temp tags. If its not a personal sale...

    man that thing just needs about 12 light bars and it'd be the ideal expo rig.

    Train horn

    I dont think having one is illegal, its using it inappropriately.. if your trying to road rage some idiot off the road, thats illegal and makes you a jerk. if your scaring off a bear rummaging through camp or chasing some poachers off your land, thats likely legal and its use is...

    Dreadlocks outfitting of InTech Discover

    @jwiereng well air concentrations are the same everywhere on earth, its just the pressure is different.. High Altitude fauna is some of the slowest growing, yet longest living.. probably for a multitude of reasons, water scarcity being the biggest.. these massive quaking aspen organisms are...

    Scare Horn

    Yeah your likely right for ****************** out being ******************, woulda likely pissed em off for being out jackassed, thus the'd need to find something more ************** than a surprise train horn, next thing you know someone has their ass out the window and everyone is tossing f-bombs.. However for those...

    hah, yeah well if kids are off at night when the critters come into camp then we have an awkward situation eh? damn kids sneaking off with my pot is a lil further into my future I hope.. I figured it'd be not be entirely reliable against two legged trespassers, but it'd get your attention and...

    Scare Horn

    Anyone installed or thought about installing a loud ass horn on your trailer? Last weekend we were dispersed camping alone in middle of state forest, Easter morning my wife told me some night wheelers pulled into our camp at 1am with big light bars and trucks running and could hear several guys...

    Apache cases from Harbor freight...... my use.....any thoughts?

    You'll feel alot better about chucking a $40 Apache out of the back of your truck than a $140 Pelican.. Ive got a few of em, they are great for cost.. do double check em in store for bad foam and seals.. I want to get another to bolt to the frontrunner and seal with RTV, need a place to keep...

    One thing I'm finding with lithium not often talked about is how capacity anxiety seems to be negated with quick charging. for example, with cell phones for the last two decades I valued runtime over feature set.. with work paying me to respond to calls/sms/emails at any time all other features...

    Adding 20A circuit for inverter, what can I power, and batteries?

    of course they will but inverters and batteries are variable, they support inrush currents and while wattage remains amps will rise as battery drains.. a 180w inverter could support 360w for a time longer than it takes to pop a fuse.. a ~35A fuse would never trip under any normal operation but a...

    Adding 20A circuit for inverter, what can I power, and batteries?

    Usually they do, or you can read spec sheet of your AC power brick and make your own that provides same voltage and wattage as it.. gets expensive quick after a few generations of laptops though, more than an inverter cost wise but otherwise its more efficient to convert DC->DC than DC->AC->DC...
