two people on a week long trip can fill up most any sized fridge, especially if you like to consume beer.. I had a 64qt previously and still was restocking beer/water/soda continuously, which consumes more power to chill from room temp.. and two week trips we still went grocery shopping a few...

they renamed the whole model line this year, I think thats now called the explore.. but all the flyers are made the same way and equally as strong, just different sizes depending on you needs.. all flyers should take a roof top tent fine.. I could put one on my Discover but it'd be really high...

Yeah it should take a roof top tent without issue, and its got a dexter torsion axle.

Ive got a 710 for my tow vehicle, also waiting install.. needa get roof rack first so cant give much feedback on it.. looks great sitting on my test bench here heh, it receives just fine on GMRS w/out modification.. just wont TX, so I dont see how removing a resistor is going to have any impact...

oh no, they did dual use with FRS/GMRS and it ended up killing 99% of the benefit of being GMRS license holder.. these consumer appliance devices should be locked down to their own frequencies.. They made unlicensed/licensed radios and all it ended up doing was us loosing all the band to...

FCC dont give more spectrum to the public, they take it away.. so basically file that idea under wont fix because they wont give HAM users a single Mhz more than we already got. General Mobile Radio and Amateur Radio are 2 completely different uses, GMRS cant put a dent into HAM with that lil...

yeah I dont know how much I would trust that marine rating, but its Chinese electronics.. either its an awesome deal or a terrible idea. Ive had some Pyle gear in the past, its definitely a low tier brand.. but I've got a Wrangler of OP's vintage, thats really all it deserves eh? I cant get my...

I agree, in general GMRS license holders should be given the same freedom on that band as HAM operators do in their bands, there is a band plan that is allocated with power and bandwidth requirements just follow it, thats the way the more advanced GMRS users have been handling it.. If your using...

technically, yes.. but in practice, yeah.. em.. well has anyone actually seen a certified GMRS repeater? or is every repeater in the country using re-purposed commercial or ham gear, I wonder ? generally its accepted that if you hold a license for GMRS, its not the end of the world if your...

well I see it every day, but yeah.. It gets some looks, however I'm used to it.. before this my previous expedition rig was a Diesel Golf that I was the only owner of. Had Tow Bags on the back, loaded it up with about 1000# of gear for ~1500# total and 150lb on tongue and got an amazing 36mpg...

no, HAM and GMRS frequencies do not overlap.. having a HAM does not grant you defacto access to broadcast on any frequency you want.. just those within the defined HAM bands.. I hold both a HAM and GMRS license so I can work on either.

IANAL, but legally anyone currently using unlicensed FRS has to be using a FRS Transceiver licensed/approved by FCC for FRS Use (Used to allow FRS/GMRS Combo but thats no longer being approved).. the use GMRS Radios or HAM Radios, even within FRS restrictions still requires the possession of a...

My intech looks like plain 3/4in plywood on the floor, but the bottom is sealed/insulated with coroplast and top with heavy duty rubber flooring.. I'm not worried about its longevity, but I live in a desert so im not concerned.. the interior walls are plywood too, but the skin and frame are all...

@FlipperFla thanks, yeah I guess I havent said much about it... its a 2014 Diesel Q7 Prestige w/Air Suspension, Adaptive Cruise Control, 17 in Porsche Cayenne Wheels and 245/65/17 BFG KO2's... with air bags maxed out I have about 14in of clearance under it, if you look at very first picture and...

Inverters act as large capacitors too if you have one of them on the circuit.. A switch is not a drain.. any electrical capacity on the other side will still exist until consumed.

dont have to be no, but MPPT is alot better than PWM and worth the marginal cost difference.. every solar array SHOULD have its own controller and that SHOULD be MPPT, its not a MUST but its highly recommended. Ive got a Genasun GV10 from my other trailer, worked very well but for me 100W panel...

So the turnbuckles were a failure, that swing arm in the engel just started vibrating the trailer again.. I could hear it running outside and I went in at night and it was unacceptable.. so rubber bunjee's it is (21in), back to being nice and quiet without a buzzing in my feet.. thats what...

If he has a 100W briefcase he's got 2x50W solar panels, he could match those same panels but its usually better to fit less bigger panels than more little panels.. and with that MPPT he dont have to use 12v panels, most tend to perfer house type panels that run at ~36v so they can even provide a...

I like my battleborn setup, https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/lifepo4-install.196461/ It runs my 80qt Engel and basic lighting, ventilation over a weekend and come back with ~50% capacity.. I should have plenty of capacity to add a propane forced air heater. I'm planning on ~600W...
