So my question is what Sterling unit would be ideal for running a fridge in a camper on a 2017 Tacoma if I plan to have solar...

    Things I learned from Diplostrat at Expo East and the questions I still have . . .

    question on the golf cart batteries... How well do these handle horrible wash board roads like in Baja and the desert Southwest? I have been using AGM batteries but my new Tacoma build with camper shell I am thinking more power....but I worry about venting, leaking and vibration

    "Dadcamp" 2018 - Death Valley, CA.

    Great write up Tim and as a dad I work hard on getting as much time in with my boys....but as they get older it gets harder to match work/life schedules. Keep making plans and spend time together as long as you can...the end is always nearer than we know.

    Goal Zero Vs. Dual Battery Vs. Solo Group 31

We just did a big match in Yuma that drew people almost 200 shooters and next weekend is the Arizona State IDPA match in Tucson which we are in. He shots a G34 in ESP with plenty of tricks, I shoot a G26 in...

    What do you really NEED for overlanding

    Forget the sat phone and get a Delorme InReach, you get sat text messaging way cheaper than a phone, plus your friends and family can live track your trip... And you get some decent navigation when you use the Earthmate app on your phone. Well worth the money... Otherwise small air compressor...

    I have both my batteries and my CTEK under my hood here in Phx Az and while I know heat is the enemy things have been working well for over 5yrs of service. My CTEK unit is also getting power from my solar panel with no issues.

    Onboard air and lockers

    I turn my Extreme Outback setup on when I hit the trail or if I need air around the house, otherwise I leave it off. But after I am off the trail I notice I can keep air in the 2gal tank for a couple days.

    What are you using for a coffee maker and coffee brand when camping/overlanding?

    My wife is the coffee drinker. I am all about the apple cider :) We used to run an Aeropress but now it is a Moka pot with the Italian stuff in a can meant for it. She is happy and that is all that matters to me.
