    Which trailer an why?

    ^Is that taking up to five dogs that you're talking about? Okay, then I see that you do need space! So is a small, basic travel trailer out of the picture? I assume it is as you're thinking about being able to take it off-road to some degree. A couple things about having a trailer to tow...

    Stealth Camper Build

    ^I know what you mean. I have used several free services for my own build threads on several forums and pictures would eventually disappear, and finally settled on Imageshack.com where I pay yearly for hosting. It's a small amount of money, but at least my pictures don't disappear. I've spent a...

    The Road Chose Me: Driving a Jeep Wrangler 80,000 miles around Africa for 2 years

    Yes, of course! I guess I'd call the grit, the details and day to day challenges that you have to deal with in order to keep yourself both physically and mentally in the game. Such as safety issues, your personal health, vehicle maintenance, etc., as you are on your own. However in reading your...

    SnoMaster Fridge/Freezer Review

    ^I couldn't tell you. Honestly I'm still learning about power management and I need to do more testing for different conditions. So far as I earlier said, an initial test with the Bluetop group 34 battery, it went to 11.4v after 25 hours with the fridge mostly empty and kept at 32 degrees. There...

    SnoMaster Fridge/Freezer Review

    ^The dual comparents would be nice to have. As an update on my Snomaster 42, it's been running filltime in the back of my Jeep since I installed it. When my Jeep is in the garage, I keep the fridge plugged into AC so it's also a garage fridge... lol. It's really a sharp fridge, and I also like...

    The Road Chose Me: Driving a Jeep Wrangler 80,000 miles around Africa for 2 years

    Okay, first off all, that mud was awesome and I'm sure was also hairraising! I've not expereinced the same MILES of that myself, but enough of it to know you're always hoping you just keep moving ahead. For a sponsorship, Jeep should give you an upcoming JL Rubicon! Anyway, I'm rewriting my...

    Advice on fridge slide for Engel 35

    I just instaled a Tempo Tusk last month. They have several sizes and pull out styles. This is one I bought and it's very well built. I bulit a false floor which attaches to where the rear seat bolted to, so the slide isn't directly bolted to my Jeep's tub. (Just mentioning that.) Anyway, best...

    National Luna (90L) vs Snomaster (85L)

    I have a new Traveller 42. Yes, Todd was great. I first talked to him at Expo East last October. I was pretty much sold then, but I had to think over the install in my Jeep, as I also installed a slide for it. Thanks for the link, as that's the best review yet on YouTube. Your 60 liter would...

    Which comes first - Fridge slide, or solar to power fridge?

    ^It's their standard front pull slide. Very solid tray and it completely extends out. https://tembotusk.myshopify.com/collections/fridge-cargo-slides/products/standard-front-pull-fridge-slide Another picture for you... I have a rack that hangs above, so my fridge needs to completey slide out.

    Bear safety in RTT's and soft sided campers/tents

    That is an awesome camping story! Whatever are the odds... lol?! One time while camping in complete isolation, my wife got up in the middle of the night. When she came back to the tent, she told me, "Something is out there." "Okay," I said. "Now go back to sleep." It never occured to me that it...

    Convince me I need a fridge!

    Thanks for the link, and I do actually pay attention to the posted articles and thanks to all of you that share them. Interseting story, and wow, going without refrigeration for more then a camping trip, just seems like a hassle. Personally, I have my grandparent's original ice box that they...

    Which comes first - Fridge slide, or solar to power fridge?

    I had also thought about a slide, but I didn't think that it was really a must have. Since I bought my Jeep in 2005, I've been dragging a cooler in and out on trips, which frankly was tiring, and last month I finally installed a Tembo Tusk slide. I ended up building a false floor that uses the...

    Convince me I need a fridge!

    In my youth, I camped a lot using beat up ranch trucks, old sleeping bags and ground tents that leaked when you touched the sides during a rain storm. Later, I upgraded to a better-equipped 4x4, than a trailer with a Tepui RTT. I have been using a decent cooler, but my grip has been that it was...

    Wiring run for Fridge-- experts sound-off :)

    I have also noticed this drop with my new Snomaster 42. Yesterday, I got in my Jeep at work and it was running of an auxiliary Bluetop. The alarm was beeping as I had the cut off at 11.7v, and it said the battery had reached that. So I lowered the cut off, and the fridge came back on. When I got...

    SnoMaster Fridge/Freezer Review

    For an update... after 25 hours, the Bluetop was at 11.4v. And I celebrated a successful weekend with an ice cold Yuengling from the Snomaster!

    SnoMaster Fridge/Freezer Review

    Yesterday, my new 42SS Snomaster showed up. For the last 14 hours it's been running off of a 50 amp Bluetop battery... went from 12.6v to 11.9 so far, being mostly empty and set to 32 degrees. Of course I realize that battery usage will depend on a lot of factors... I'll do a review of it...
