    10L "Jerry can", 11L Dometic "Go Hydration" or Rotopax for water?

    One of the cons to Scepters is the odd size thread on the small cap. One of the big pros is the flexible spout Scepter makes...

    What wire size for Solar and Victron MPPT?

    PV cable is *usually* 10 awg. While any good wire will work, PV is also UV resistant and is your best bet.

    Single burner propane stove that can handle full time on the road!

    just curious, what happened to your Coleman Cascade? Asking, because we just switched from our old Coleman Triton, dual burner to a single burner Cascade. It seems very ruggedly built compared to our old Triton, which still works great after 15 years, including being dropped and repaired...

    What do you put in your center console?

    As a photographer with a disorganized Tundra console, I’d be interested in how you set up your DLSR storage. Any pictures of that? This thread is a good topic!

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

    It depends on whether you have rear barn doors or not. Yes, the solid window hatches are not operable from inside with the latches I have. Certainly a limitation. However, my rear half barn doors can be opened from the inside on my two year old Ovrlnd version while latched if I unlock the...

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

    Does anybody have interior latches for your window hatches, either installed by Jay or DIY, that you can post a pictures or two of? I’m trying to figure how to set up a latch on my windows to secure at night, but allow opening from the inside.

    Help me invest into the best overlanding/towing/ offroading rig!

    1st Gen, well maintained Tundra. They’re still reliable and my 6’5” nephew fits comfortably in his. Drove it all over creation for a full year starting at 161K miles. No drama

    Beginner looking for advice on setup

    You might think about the need for the solar component at all, especially in the north west. I have essentially the same set up with a 25 amp National Luna, DCDC charger. I have a built-in MPPT controller, and I have used my 105 watt portable panel at times early on. However, I find I just...

    2009 tundra - scheel mann conversion

    FWIW I really tried to get Scheel-Mann for my old Tacoma, but could never work out the airbag issues. There was a shop in Berkley that the SM US rep put me on to, but it was $8K for two seats with all the fabbing and physically swapping the sensors, and that was 4 years ago. So I got a 21...

    Carrying extra gasoline with Outback and teardrop

    Curious what this is based on? And what bags are you aware of that have failed? Ive been using the Giant Loop Armadillo bag and have been super impressed with it. But, it hasn’t been over a long time, nor do I strap it over hard wear points, rather I carry it in my Trasharoo. For...

    SOLD: 2017 Tacoma TRD OR with Extras + GoFastCamper

    Curious how your wind deflector works being (apparently) attached to the camper with the camper/bed flex vs the cab when off-road? Does it move around on the cab roof? And did you notice any mileage improvement, or was it mainly for wind noise?
