+1 on this. I have the Victron Smart Shunt, which is the same thing (eg, the supplied shut @Trestle mentions), but without the external monitor and with the Bluetooth to phone app for monitoring. You definitely want one version or another of this depending on how you want to monitor things...

That is weird! I have a huge amount of maps and hundreds of downloaded tracks and it only uses 6.3 gb on my iPhone. What does Gaia support say?

Well, I’m glad you weren’t directly impacted, but it still sucks for the area for sure. I know what you mean about the burn scar. They get really brushy as they come back, at least ours here in AZ can. I really hope you’ll post some detailed pics of your flatbed camper when you get it...

Nicely done Tundra flatbed! I have some questions for you . . . But first and foremost, I see from your profile you’re from Ruidoso? I know that area a bit from way in the past, and it’s really sad what’s happened there. I hope your weren’t terribly impacted personally. Is that Ruidoso...

I have gone through the same thought process and deliberation as well. The open one door and step in or out aspect is really tempting. Thing is, the tailgate is like our porch. Great to hang out on with the rear awning, especially in rainy weather. And really extends the size of the camper...

FWIW for prospective buyers, these are great battery chargers for ANY battery! They’re fully programmable if you know what you’re doing or, as in my case, you have Battleborn suggest the correct custom settings. I use mine for both my AGM starting battery as well as my Battleborn LiFePo...

FWIW if your shunt doesnt work out, or for others looking Victron’s 500 amp Smart Shunt is a bit over $100 on Amazon or about $160 with the wired monitor. Seems to fit all your criteria and is a quality piece of equipment. Mine’s been great for 3 years so far.

Really great rig! It’s tempting — I’ve been in a similar V1 and they are quite nice. Some more truck details would be helpful, such as: Short or long bed (looks short, but can’t tell with flatbed), wheelbase, axle ratio, lockers and/or limited slip, and front suspension mods, tire size and...

This came out prior to the recall. Around the 12 min mark (edit 12:50) he gets into the bearing issue with some feedback from a Toyota (edit: Lexus) mechanic who had already been tearing engines (edit: the same engines as the new turbo Tundra V6) apart for crankshaft and bearing replacement...

Thanks! Very helpful.

THIS ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️ ! Are you sure you mean 450 milliamps (ma) of battery? That’s tiny. Take a minute and post the specs, type, etc of battery you’re trying to charge. People need more info to give you the help you want and not unintentionally mislead you. Do mean 450 amp hours? Gotta size...

That’s a pretty great product enhancement by Maxxaire! Do you think there’s enough of a rim and clearance on the inside of the shade when opened to insert a filter? Due to my asthma I’d love to find some way to filter smokey air from wildfires and/or campfires when it’s bad out. I have some...

Each manufacturer has specs depending on the charger. For example my National Luna 25 amp DCDC charger feeds through a 50amp Anderson with a 40 amp fuse. Both were supplied by the company. They also spec’d a 6 guage cable. Just use what they say and you’ll be fine. But be sure to use correct...

I agree once a wheel/tire combo is up to speed, but but what about the initial spool up from a stop or acceleration? Doesn’t the greater inertial mass and weight outboard of the axle centers have some significant impact in exactly the low torque portion of the the power band? I know on my...

Likewise, no flexing of the skin. I don’t have rigid insulation, though. What I do have wouldn’t stop it. I wonder if that’s truly what you’re hearing? I know at the time my older version was built in early ’21 Jay was using VHB to adhere the skins to the frame and then riveting. The skins...

Yeah that was my thinking too. The only reason I thought it might be good horizontal is the main air inlets are horizontally placed, but I get what you are saying about the pressure wave in front of the camper. All that wind resistance has got to be good for something!

I’ve been meaning to try this sometime. Do you leave the vent lid completely closed or crack it a bit?

Sure, I’ll try to describe it. From the website: It’s been 3 years, but as I recall inside the outer dome part, there’s a 3” OD tube that goes through the hole you drill in the wall. Then, the internal plunger is inserted and rotated/clicked into place with the light grey disk to the inside...

I’ve been running this passive PPV on my camper for 3 1/2 years along with obsessive tailgate sealing and it’s worked really well on the terribly dusty UT and other Southwestern roads. A lot of folks with Ovrlnd campers are running these. Being marine the water diverter is 100%, I don’t even...

Really nice job on the propane carriers and Propex … as well as the whole camper build! Your fab skills are excellent. I‘m in process of hanging my propane outside and would love to know what regulator you using for a permanent outside mount and where you sourced it if can. Also, it really...
