I like the concept, but am confused on the Victron duo. What I can find on it says it’s a PWM dual battery solar charge controller, not a dc-dc combined? Is there some new unit I’m not finding? Part of the RedArc appeal to me is that Victron systems for dc-dc seem overly complicated in my...

Good point! I do really like Victrons app — been using their cheapy stick on battery monitors on my dual set up. The solar combo of the RedArc is kinda persuasive though, and then use the Victron 712 w/ shunt was what I was thinking ?

Tower Arch has a pretty long down hill stretch of linked ledges. Tacoma on mild lift handled it fine with a bit of spotting amidst a few jeeps. At minimum, I’d guess perhaps drag your butt a bit depending in hitch and departure angle. Think a full size could do it …. Coming out there’s a lot of...

+1 on this ^ thinking the same thing, but with a RedArc 25. Thinking RedArc in the box w/ a BattleBorn 100ah with an inverter mounted on top of the box and probably a thermostat activated computer fan. Crazy?

Hey, I hope you’ve been enjoying your great camper build all summer! I’ve pretty much come to the decision to buy a Tundra also for my Ovrlnd, and I am hoping you don’t mind answering a couple other questions. I noticed that it appears your shell is mounted on top of the plastic bed rail caps...

And then there’s gaffer tape! As a photographer, I absolutely worship that stuff.:love: Amazing for cable mounting and control as well as dust control in the bed of my truck too!

+ 1 on this. Keeps em from tangling. I’ve read Hollywood gaffers (the guys who do the electric rigging) can get fired for failing to do this. They run so many cords it really speeds things up. I had a 50 ft tangled up home compressor air line from me using the climbing/sailing twist coil...

These are the bomb!! https://www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-Original-Reusable-Rubber/dp/B00SHBN21S/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2AM4TXD8XKH7H&dchild=1&keywords=wire+ties+reusable+twist&qid=1601423544&sprefix=Wire+ties%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-3 Come in all sizes and colors up to 24”. Useful for everything. I have the...

https://www.foamorder.com/ Have used them for many things. They’ll make you anything, with covers, or just the foam to custom specs.

Well, you’ve got an inch on me, but in the same boat. Tacoma is now just too small. You might want to check out Ovrlnd Campers. https://campovrlnd.com/ We have one on order now for a likely Jan delivery. They’re in Flagstaff, so we were able to visit the shop and spend time with how they’re...

Just curious, why move from Habitat to Summit? Set up ease?

Nice rig! Have some interest. PM sent.

Sweet! Is the plate attached to internal angle aluminum frame? Got any pics of the work in progress? I’m planning something similar for an upcoming Tundra. Probably with VHB tape and some rivets. Have worked some with aluminum, bit not bending on a brake. Are you using a commercial brake, or a...

One of the best back seat conversions I’ve seen (y) Is that bedlined plywood?

Thanks for all the feedback! Very helpful. Think we’ll certainly back seat the fridge IF we keep the Tacoma, but leaning pretty heavily to a Tundra at this point. After thinking on this, seems the biggest issue for my set up (dual, under-hood batteries with the ARB 10ga wire-loom to the truck...

Thanks PShin, I really appreciate the photo. Definitely helps to know. Smoke and all we're envious here in Phoenix. Love the WA and OR beaches and hope to get back there soon. Just very sad to see the fire destruction. Sure hope you’re finding ways to cope with the smoke up there! Stay safe...

Love the platform attached to the hinges idea! Haven’t seen that one before. Certainly agree on the compromises part. Good weather and outdoor cooking is no big deal either way. It’s just that we’re retired now and wanting to be out in a lot more shoulder season/ rainy/winter times and hence...

So, I have an Ovrlnd pop-up camper shell on order. My big dilemma is keep my Tacoma that is built just right for us, or put it on a Tundra. I’d really rather keep the Tacoma, at least that’s what I think today :unsure:, but it’s a DCSB, which really limits the room in the bed. Currently with a...

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, we’re a lot of the way there to going big, but we’re really attached to the Tacoma, sadly though I think you’re right. Thanks for the picture offer when you’re out. Will probably seal the deal …

I have been using bait (injected in the burrows) at home for tunneling pocket Gophers, etc. and it’s effective if I keep on it. Will check this out. Here’s a slightly older thread I found with some good ideas ? as well...
