I have a Big Agnes Dream Island 15 Double Bag, Exped Megamat Duo Self Inflating Mattress in Bag Sleeve, Big Agnes Inflatable Pillows with Memory Foam, and a silk liner for when it gets cold tucked up in my Autohome Columbus RTT (removed original mattress, left anticondensation mat).

I just wanted to reach out to find out if anyone is aware of an aftermarket high tops for the Mercedes Metris? I called up fiberine, and they say that a high roof mold for the Metris is next up for them, but they are not likely to be ready until next year.

Thanks for your input all. It turns out that I had a bad fuse. Fixed it and everything is working like a charm now. Hopefully no issues with the BattleBorn, but I have a 1 year warranty. Glad to finally have a reliable battery source for the National Luna.

I recently put together the following: ArkPak 730 with BattleBorn LiFePO4 100 amp/hr battery in hopes of powering my National Luna 52L Weekender. I installed the battery in the ArkPak, changed the settings for LiFePO4, and charged it up. The ArkPak has a standard 50a Anderson output. The...

Thanks for your thoughts all. I'll have to dig into this a bit more to get a clear idea of needs v. wants. Sky is the limit as far a price for large capacity systems.

Huh, really? They list them as compatible on their website: https://www.arkportablepower.com/products/arkpak-730-portable-power "Compatible with Lithium LiFePO4 batteries"

I'm planning on adding a 12 volt air conditioning system to my new rig to run on sunny days and maybe an hour or two at night. What is considered the current state of art for power consumption to output now in 2018? I have heard that the Earthcruiser guys use the Arctic Breeze systems which...

I have decided that in the end I have the budget for my new rig for quite a nice new power system. I know what my work circumstances are going to be like for the next few years (rarity these days) which will allow me long periods of working remotely from my new rig I'm building. I'm willing to...

In the end, I am returning the renogy lycan. It simply could not handle the voltage drop despite being advertised for running refrigerators (I assume not via 12 volt). In the end, I bought an ArkPak 730 and installed a 100 amp/hr Battle Born LiFePO4 battery. Weighs half as much and powers the...

Thanks all! I appreciated all this feedback. It seems that my plan to buy a 2017-2018 F-250 6.2L gasser is not misplaced. I like other makers, but this seems like the best option that still has a regular cab, so I can keep overall length ~19ft for parking and maneuverability sake, 8 foot long...

I have an odd question for you. I like your MOD/GZL offerings quite a bit. However, I would really rather have a full standing height fixed shell instead of a pop up (not worried about tight trails/trees with my needs) and some kind of large window boot passthrough. Are those options that you...

Good points indeed. The camper shell I’m planning on picking up and lightly outfitting only weighs 850 lbs empty, so I think I would be in the clear with a gas F250.

Interesting. As a fleet manager, I would appreciate your input. What do you think is generally better? I’m looking for something with a circa 3000 lb payload for a camper. I’ve been tending towards a base regular cab F-250 with the 6.2L gas engine. I’ve heard ford diesels are a mixed bag.

Well, it would appear that the long awaited 2019 Ford Ranger reintroduction is upon us now: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/2019-ford-ranger-pricing-revealed Anyone on here planning on picking one of these up? Also, anyone heard about what payload capacity is supposed to look like?

Not the owner but I think I have a passing familiarity. I think this beautiful example would be generally be classed in the "trawlers and tugs" category as opposed to the semi-displacement or planing hull designs which are more popular with sportboat or fast cabin cruiser yacht designs. This...

What air con system are you using if you don't mind? Just curious about how close we are getting to reasonable 12 volts AC + lithium batteries + solar these days

Well, the next installment in the saga commences. I purchased a National Luna 52L Weekender and their standard Anderson cable in addition. However, upon receipt, I noticed their Anderson cable is actually a 15 amp coupler on the fridge end and a 45 amp coupler for some weird reason on the other...

Sorry for the late reply. Good recommendation! Planar let me know that they are making gas heaters that should be available this Fall.

Wow, that is a beauty. Amazing no one has picked this up yet. I'm in the market, but this is just too big for me. GLWS

Thanks for the feedback and inspiration all! I have a few ideas to pencil out now.
