    Lets talk small generators!

    Well I'm putting the small Sportsman generator through a real world test. I ran my battery down to 70% (69 actually) and I'm leaving things on inside the trailer as they would be on a typical day at camp. That basically means the fridge is running and a light from time to time. In 45 mins the...

    Lets talk small generators!

    For science, I went with the small 1000/800W Sportsman Inverter which matches the color of my trailer. I will break it in and give it a good run this weekend at camp. From the reviews and videos I have watched, people have run entire 30+' RVs off of this little thing (minus their AC). I...

    Lets talk small generators!

    I am in the market for a small (and quiet) generator to keep my 110Ah AMG battery topped off when I'm parked in the shade. My fridge and other devices run my battery down each day more than my solar can regenerate when not in full sun. Usually down to 75% or so. I have a Victron IP67 shore...

    Costway Fridge - Not Cooling

    It was an Amazon special so I think the return/refund has something to do with that. Not sold by Amazon, just sold on Amazon so my buddy was dealing with the seller directly for the refund/help.

    Costway Fridge - Not Cooling

    There is a very slight chance that it could have been shipped with no refrigerant in the system in the first place. I have seen this in other implementations...carelessness... The company already sent him a refund and told him to keep the fridge...or at least...not send it back...so we are...

    Costway Fridge - Not Cooling

    I have a friend who purchased a Costway 23499-CYPE Fridge and out of the box it would not cool. It turns on, the compressor seems to kick on, but it does not cool the unit at all, the temp slightly rises a degree or 2 while running. I am leaning towards thinking that it has no refrigerant in...

    My 2WD F150 adventures

    Holy crap!! Way too much time since my last post but not much has been happening on the trailer side of things just yet. I did take the Tanto out for my first adventure with my girlfriend to my buddy's cabin down in Indiana and then a few weeks later we did a quick weekend trip to Brown County...

    The Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail

    Hey guys, I am interested in making a run on the trail sometime soon, how is it up there? Any flooding or closures to be aware of? Covid restrictions?

    Tent Bed Options for Sleeping Together

    I have one and I used it 2 nights last weekend...I wasnt impressed for how much I paid for it. When solo I sleep on a Singlis 3" airpad on a small cot and that is 100x more comfortable. I just couldnt get the right amount of cushion without hitting my trailer floor with my hip. If I pumped it...

    Overland Sprinter Build

    Damn!!! Quarantine upgrades rule! I am very curious about your experience. I wish they did custom windows I would have them make windows to replace mine!! There is always the next build.

    Sprinter 4WD Conversion Idea, GMT-800 IFS.

    My only concern would be if you hit something that dented the top plate in a bit and caught on the bottom plate since they are independent. If you weld a lip to the bottom plate on the back end overlapping the top plate even without it being mechanically attached it would prevent the top plate...

    Sprinter 4WD Conversion Idea, GMT-800 IFS.

    Are you welding that seam between the two skid plates?

    My 2WD F150 adventures

    Decided to take the camper for a night of camping at Shabbona with maybe a bit of fishing but that wasn’t the main objective. Originally was going to do 2 nights with a buddy but circumstances made it so he could not go and I was already geared so 1 night would do me just fine. Got there with...
