    Best Kitchen spot-- side or tailgate? Bad weather and normal.

    O Ok dstefan, this may be the most applicable to me actually. I am getting the TuneM1, on a 6ft bed Tacoma, so basically same as OVRLND except wider up top. Your Tundra is 6" wider truckbed, but the Tune is 72" wide after it flares out, so maybe 12" wider than yours at counter height? So I...

    SOLD: Topo Topper Badlander

    Great deal. Too bad they already cashed my $$ for a TuneM1. But this looks like a nice complete setup.

    Best Kitchen spot-- side or tailgate? Bad weather and normal.

    Best side kitchen discussion I've found so far, Andrew St Pierre White of 4xOverland with his most recent Troopy build. He really makes a great case for the side window kitchen.

    Best Kitchen spot-- side or tailgate? Bad weather and normal.

    Not a big fan of slideouts either. But the real question is side kitchen with awning, or rear tailgate setup. I notice that both Ronny Dahl and ASPW used side kitchens. RD now has a tailgate setup. Bit they don't get much rain in Australia. Donald at Softroading the West is up in rainy...

    Best Kitchen spot-- side or tailgate? Bad weather and normal.

    What is the best way to set up a kitchen for popup truck camper (NOT A SLIDE-IN!)? I see a zillion pullout kitchen boxes on a pickup tailgate, but I also see a lot of side kitchens when camper has gull-wing doors, like the AluCab. I see YouTube videos of each, but not many folks give good...

    Tufport Overlander

    Tune M1, not a slide in though, just a topper. 80-83" tall, 78" wide, cabover almost 5 ft or 59.5". Yeah the dimensions on this are odd, 65" is short. And they never disclosed weight.

    OVRLND CAMPERS ONLY : Post your OVRLND Camper build here or a link to your build thread to inspire others!

    I would love to see this too! It is amazing how few posts there are with pictures showing popup truck camper insulation. I've delved hundreds of pages deep here and at OverlandBound and TacomaWorld, and the in depth posts with pics and follow up actual use, are few and sparse. Your build and...

    Gladiator Pop-Up Pass Through Camper Build

    Mule, I am awaiting a new Tune M1 popup for my truck, so haven't installed this yet. To avoid drilling hole in bed of truck, I may hang heater chamber on tslot in new camper, on front wall near truck cab. That would let me keep the popup as a complete camping unit, so I can remove whole thing...

    Gladiator Pop-Up Pass Through Camper Build

    Im going to disassemble this Vevor and mount it in front passenger corner of Tacoma bed, similar to where the video 3 posts earlier shows. But on my Tacoma, the whole area between truck bed and truck sheet metal side, is a wide open space. You can see it when underneath looking up. Planning...

    Gladiator Pop-Up Pass Through Camper Build

    Been reading your thread a while. I just finished starting and testing my new 5kw Vevor diesel heater, all in one vertical. Works fantastic! Took 5 min to set up, I am test running it now going on 3 hrs to see fuel burn. Good bluetooth app, good control head, and good remote control...

    Microwave for truck camper

    There is a new type of microwave that is better for off grid, an "inverter microwave ", as instead of cycling full power, say 1500W, on and off at different rates to adjust power levels, it actually changes the wattage up and down. So uses a lower wattage. And also less power. Here is a...

    Battery bank and charger recommendations

    I was wondering where to post this today, but your thread here is pretty on topic, so: I am thinking about NOT using solar for my new Tune camper shell now. Just a larger battery. Which is kind of where you were on this thread? So I have the Pecron E1500LFP, 1536 watt-hours. Which is a...

    Battery bank and charger recommendations

    Not sure what system you're looking at. Pecron 1500 LFP has a 30A dc output, as well as several other smaller ones. Various Ecoflow have higher dc amps too. Each model us different, so I'd have to look at each. Latest ecoflow removed the 30A RV plug I think. That fridge, says it uses less...

    Mains-capable ACDCDC charger?

    I actually had a few paragraphs I deleted on solar power stations, as I didn't want to over share. However... my best "all in one" solution for your description IS a power station like a Jackery, though I wouldn't ever buy one of those-- much better specs, battery chemistry, and prices from...

    Mains-capable ACDCDC charger?

    Never seen one discussed. I have read through all the Redarc dcdc options (their bcdc line), Renogy too. I think it's kind of in the name... dc to dc. You're asking an inexpensive tool designed for 1 thing, to do 4 others too... if it existed it would be $$$$$ and work poorly on one or the...
