    Warn, Ramsey, Sherpa... whats the most dependable least Chinese winch

    I agree, we have to do what suits our needs, I have only ever needed a winch 3x in the past 37 years and even then I used a hand winch, The reason for having a winch is to get unstuck not see how many times a person can get stuck so they can use the winch, I have a 9500Lb winch here that I...

    Warn, Ramsey, Sherpa... whats the most dependable least Chinese winch

    All this Anti China stuff is a joke, They haven't done anything to the US, Back in the 1940's it was Japan who attacked Pearl Harbour not China, All this anti china stuff is Racist, Due to inflation and Wage rises American companies have 2 choices, They can either Go Bankrupt or stay in...

    How much power do I need for 4-5 day trips?

    Yeah it's impossible to own each and every brand, I tried it and it just don't work, I have thinned out the heard, What really chews the power is when you use them in freezer mode and the ambient temp ramps up.

    How much power do I need for 4-5 day trips?

    Those ARB "Quoted" figures you are quoting are very inaccurate, The ARB 47L/50Qt uses between 0.380 to about 0.72Ah per hour and the ARB 78L/82Qt will use between 0.42 to 0.75Ah when set to 3*c, I have run my ARB 50Qt for over 2 days without any form of charging from a Dometic PLB40, If I hook...

    Looking for a sealed 12v alternative to a pair of gc2?

    Well it's quite simple, Because you can power 2 fridges using Lithium portable power packs Charging them from the Cigar Socket without all the excess costs of wiring and charge controllers, 200Ah of Lithium is a bit excessive for running 2 fridges when 1X 40Ah will give you the same amout of...

    Looking for a sealed 12v alternative to a pair of gc2?

    Most 12v cigar sockets are rated from 10 to 20Ah, If the cable from the socket to the appliance is kept short then they can supply a steady rate of power, A fridge runs for around 10 to 20 minutes and the rest of the time they switch off, Seeing as the fridge is running from a lithium pack most...

    Looking for a sealed 12v alternative to a pair of gc2?

    I have 2 portable Lithium packs, I only use one of them most of the time to run my fridge but the 2 of them will run both of my fridges, If you are on the move a fair bit they can be charged from the Cigar socket within a couple of hours, Because of the speed they charge at 1 X 40Ah Lithium pack...

    The Good and the Bad about Baffin and Sorel Boots.

    Why because that is the only way to do a fair comparison of the most popular versions, Some of those Boots are pretty Incredible, A person would have serious health problems if they got cold feet wearing one of the top 4 pairs.

    The Good and the Bad about Baffin and Sorel Boots.

    Yeah I have also noted that with the Conquest's. Nice boots, I had to size up from the first pair I bought because I got like a cramp in my toes for some reason even though they first pair seemed to fit Ok,

    Dometic cfx3 not holding temp

    Yeah thats a pain, try pulling the cover off where the compressor is and see if there is a loose wire on the panel where all the wires are fixed, It has been known before that some of the clamping screws come loose over time, (y) Hope that helps.

    Planning Power Needs for One Week Trip

    Two Fully Charged Group 31 115Ah batteries will power the ARB 47L/50Qt for 6.5 days or 6 and a half days when set to 2*c in an Ambient temp of 23 to 25*c taking them down to 50% SOC so using one you will get around 3 and a bit days out of it because you only have 57.5Ah of useable power before...

    Simpler side solar with flex panels and one battery (panels on hood)

    A flexible panel is going to cost 2 or 3 times as much as a ridgid panel and it will have a very limited life span, You've already made your mind up so do what ever suits your needs, Mounting a panel on the Bonnet/hood puts it at risk of being damaged by people/passersby or stolen, I don't see...

    Simpler side solar with flex panels and one battery (panels on hood)

    It's crazy adding panels to the Hood, The Heat from the Motor would speed up the rate the panels heat up, Panels need an Air Gap, If this is not the case then why are all Domestic and Government panels mounted either free standing or with a 3 or 4" gap between the back of the Panel and the Roof...

    Yeah take the battery out of the system and fully Charge the battery from an AC outlet and then run the fridge directly from the battery, Depending on the size and make of the fridge it should run for 2 or 3 days before it gets down to 12.5v depending on the battery, without any of this info it...
