    why are roof top tents so expensive??? any home made ideas??

    No matter what, nothing is a sweet as setting your tent up in ten seconds flat. I'll take my RTT thank you very much. I will be upgrading my 1000 dollar Mombassa (on the cheaper side of materials) for a high end model hopefully around the time of OvEx 2013. There IS a definate diffrence in...

    What Dodge pickup should I buy?

    Dodge Power Wagon actually has a great turning radius, especially compared to Ford PS. And yes, a snowplow can be mounted to a Power Wagon. (I saw another discussion saying otherwise).

    Need Advice on Propane Tanks

    I LOVE my composite tank, it comes from Norway, which is... Uh.. Cool I guess. But the composite is lightweight, tough and will not BLEVE on you. There are videos of the manufacturer tossing a composite tank into a fire. The tanks melts and loses its contents before it will explode...

    Portable Tiki Torch...any suggestions?

    You could use those new Bud Light blue aluminum bottles! Cheap and easy, duck tape them to a stick. Would go well in trailer parks too.

    Cell phone as hot spot

    I use my Hotspot (Verizon , Casio Commando) for my laptor or Samsung Tablet all the time, but not for watching anything "streaming" It's too slow for that and eats up my data fast. For surfing, emails, basic internet it works great though.

    I'm a convert to Trasharoo!

    I ditched Facebook a couple years ago, but I have been reconsidering it just for this reason.. I always feel left out not able to "Like" something anymore... The drama part of FB I can do without. I just need to avoid getting into political or religous conversations with coworkers and...

    Gotta love the Trasharoo... gotta love it. I saw a TON of these around Moab recently. For travelling at high speeds, I simply pushed the bag into the bed of the truck under the RTT rack.. no prob!

    Camping Fridges - Pros and Cons

    I had this set up bouncing around that back of my pickup for a week in Utah recently. Worked great, I charged the battery whenever I was stopped for a while. (And then an unfortunate wind incident that killed my inverter, totally my fault.). I love my ARB fridge. And running it off of the sun
