    Can I dial down the heat on my partner Stove

    What about just sliding the pot off direct heat? Sliding it over so that only 1/2 of the flame is under the pot seems to be the easiest solution to me without carrying more gear.

    Namibia in a 4x4 rental

    This picture about sums up our time on the Skeleton Coast. That's the Zeila shipwreck about 45 min north of Swak in the background. I had a poor choice in places to stop. The coast gets pretty foggy early and late in the day. If you want good pictures hit it mid-day. If you want good...

    Small chimney start for charcoal

    I picked up one similar to a few posts up. It's worked fine the few times I've used it but stays in my dutch oven kit which seem to get left at home more often than not. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z0O7BTE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Anyone with an AT Overland Summit?

    I wonder if they're used to attach the cold weather insulated walls in place?

    Namibia in a 4x4 rental

    We just returned from our trip and I have to say Namibia was fantastic. I'll probably work on a trip report at some point but there are lots of pictures and videos to sort through first.

    Stow-able dog bed/cot for spoiled camp pooch

    While not a cot we've been really pleased with the Mountainsmith K-9 Beds. We ended up getting a second one when we got the dingo (other dog is an Australian Sheppard). The bottom is a slick water resistant material that works fine on most ground. They stuff back into a sack just like a...

    Anyone with an AT Overland Summit?

    see post #14 Mario mentioned it's 3/4" thick composite. I would imagine that it's drill a hole and mount your fill port. Maybe he'll chime in here. curious to see what others do too. Where are these tracks? Picts?

    RTT extra cover channel for annex help

    Before you place an order see if your local RV dealer has any in stock. You'd need to cut it to length as it would be much longer than your tent is wide. There's nothing special about it other than the shipping tube it comes in costs more than the track itself. I originally had the black...

    Anyone with an AT Overland Summit?

    The roof would be one place if I didn't get load bars already installed. Another would be inside along the top and bottom of the side walls to attach backpacks, gear organizers, and gear nets. BTW, what are the 2 stainless looking loop tabs on the outside walls towards the rear used for?

    Anyone with an AT Overland Summit?

    Thanks for chiming in Mario. So if a strip of L-track or brackets for a solar panel were to be installed, would you use a rivnut to the layer of aluminum or do you typically use a through bolt (or something else)? Still waiting to see what you come up with on a long bed version. ;)

    Anyone with an AT Overland Summit?

    Wow, you've definitely learned some lessons I'm sure. My one (and only) truck camper experience wasn't the best and has left a bad taste for 'traditionally constructed' rv's. For the rear panel question... I guess I saw somewhere that after you lift the top there are 2 gas strut assisted...

    Awning gap solution?

    AluCab makes a raingutter for their awnings. The pictures on their site aren't the greatest but it's basically velcro on the awning side and I think an awning track on the vehicle. I would model something after that.

    Anyone with an AT Overland Summit?

    Nice video! I guess I'm just looking for general impressions, things you like and don't. What other platforms have you owned or used? Looks like you didn't opt for any side windows or roof vents. How is the ventilation? How is entry and exit with having to pull the tailgate closed? Have...

    Need Ideas for Second Battery Installation

    I mounted mine to the inside of the frame rail on the drivers side and could mount another forward of that if needed. Dodge ram 3500 long bed. My aux system starts on post #100 in my bed rack thread.

    Bed rack fabrication for RTT -- 06 Dodge Ram 3500

    I used to have a truck camper (albeit not a Northstar) and after the experience I had I'm pretty sure I'll never own another 'traditionally constructed' camper ever again. I also didn't like how big and bulky it felt when on the truck and navigating overgrown forest service roads in the wooded...

    Blue Sea Automatic Charging Relay (ACR) install in Fleet FWC

    Yes, you will get more answers in the 12v forum for sure. @DiploStrat Was something I said incorrect?

    Anyone with an AT Overland Summit?

    I've seen discussions on other truck shell pop-tops on here but am curious if anyone has an AT Overland Summit topper? If so I would love to hear some thoughts or discussion on how it's working out and see some ways you've built the bed area out.

    Blue Sea Automatic Charging Relay (ACR) install in Fleet FWC

    Yes, you are correct in your assumption. The ACR doesn't care which side of the equation has the higher voltage. If it sees 13.6+ (don't quote me on that I'm going from memory) for more than 30 seconds then it wants to engage or keep the relay engaged. The nice part about having the manual...

    Bed rack fabrication for RTT -- 06 Dodge Ram 3500

    Over the past 6 months we haven't used the tent much. We've had one of the wettest winter's on record and it just hasn't been worth it to get out since the opportunities to dry out gear post-trip were tough to find. We had a wet weekend in February to renew our wilderness first aid certs and...
