I have been getting a bit geeky on solar with my camper as I have just about run out of other things modify or to add to it for the time being. I built my rear galley around 2 20qt Orca Coolers on a tray that slides out so I can access them for food and drinks. I found a cool 12V fridge which...

I just bought a 120W fabric folding solar panel with a 20A charge controller to replace my 70W panel of the same type. The 70W cost me about as much as the 120 did and I know I will get nothing for it so is it worth connecting them both up to the same controller in parallel? I think I can make...

I upgraded to 120W and now this is no longer needed. I have used it maybe 5 times since buying it earlier this year. Everything works, no modifications done to it, and it looks just as new as when it arrived. Make me an offer! Located near Chicago or I can figure out shipping if needed...

Looking to get a soft folding panel to fit in my tongue box. Space is tight so I need it slim and suitcase won’t work. Looking at these two in my budget sub $250. ECO-WORTHY 120W Foldable Solar Panel kit with 20A LCD Charger Controller with USB Port for Portable Generator/Power...

There seem to be literally 100s of 13” trailer tires on the market...can anyone recommend one they have used and liked? Actual tire is 175/80r13. My trailer is maybe 1500 lbs total...2k tops. One I found that I like: Carlisle Radial Trail HD Trailer Tire-175/80R13 96M...

Are there any events similar to Overland Expo in the midwest? I know they wouldn't be anywhere near that size, but I cannot find any groups that gather anywhere near Chicago. Opportunity for something cool? I am an assistant organizer of a snowboard club in Chicago (Windy City Boarders), I...

Looking for skid plates for a 2016 F150 XL 3.5L if anyone is looking to part ways with theirs.

So I have 2 plastic Valence panels on my 2016 F150 bumper and the first one is really low where it rubs curbs when parking. The second one blocks the front tow hook mounts. Reading up on the purpose and it appears to be for appearance and airflow/aerodynamics. Does it really make that...

Looking for opinions here. What is the best combination of primer paint and coat for aluminum parts that are going to get some love taps from gravel and small rocks coming off my tires? My fenders and tongue channels are alum and I painted them myself but they took a beating on a recent trip...

I've been stalking you guys for a few months watching and learning from your various adventures. In the past few years I have been getting more and more into camping and back to my outdoor roots, so much so that I built a camper last summer (more to come on that in the near future). I finally...

Hey guys, I am up for some maintenance and new tires on my 2016 F150 2WD V6 truck. It has seen only highway driving up to now since I bought it with 4 miles on it and I am sitting just under 77k at the moment. Last time I took my truck into the dealership the nice lady at the counter gave me...

I have a 2016 F150 as my daily driver and I am in need of some new tires. I would like to get something slightly more aggressive than the stock tires I am replacing. This vehicle is 2wd and I don't plan on taking it on any challenging off road adventures where it would be questionable, but I...

Hey guys, I was doing some maintenance on my rig that I built on a utility trailer and I came across a pretty significant issue at the coupler base plate. One side has completely detached at the welds and I’m extremely lucky to have found it before hitting the road again. I’m having a hell of a...
