I use a Pecron 600, which has been pretty good as long as I run the truck every day or two. I'll go with a Pecron 1000 or 1500 when I replace it. The trick is that I'm limited by my 400 watt truck's built in inverter and the Pecron 600 has a 350 watt charger. I'll have to see if the Pecron...

So here's the easiest way to power a fridge so you don't have to worry about the truck's battery. If you have a built in 120v outlet in your truck, just plug in a power supply to this. Then plug your fridge into the power supply. The truck charges the power supply only when the truck is...

I never thought my 38” tires were small until now!

Two things I hate about my Gladiator when camping!! 1) The headlights turn on every time I open a door. This will really piss off those nice tent campers next to you in the middle of the night. 2) The damn horn sounds every time I lock my truck. Those poor campers are really upset at me now...

Haha…. I figured I’d get some grief. Just wait till I run my trucks A/C while sleeping/camping this summer.

Ran into a fellow Overlander and Mountain biker this morning. He’s been living in his truck for the last 6 months and slowly making his way from California eastward. And I thought I used my camper a lot!

Guess this is the last night I will need the heater for the season. I had the diesel heater on the lowest setting and outside it was 50 degrees. Inside was cozy. Looks like it’s going to be a great day.

Another beautiful weekend!

I've become a fan of small electric skillets, since I don't like flames inside my camper. They work great with a small power supply. Instead of a lot of dishes, I just wipe out the non stick surface with a paper towel or wet nap when I'm done. It's a burner, pan, pot, skillet with a lid all...

Just like camping at home! Missouri was hit pretty hard last Friday by tornadoes. A tornado barely missed my home, but it managed to take out electricity, internet, and cell phone coverage for thousands of households, including mime. 5 gallons of gas, a generator, electric power supply, and...

25 Degrees F. in the morning and the diesel heater kept me toasty warm all night.

Love this weather. Mountain biking and camping around 40 degrees F. Best of all, no bugs!

After mountain biking and 4 wheeling this weekend in 20-40 deg. F weather I'm reminded of something. Driving or riding on 20 deg. frozen ground is great, right up until it thaws! The dirt trails got pretty muddy/slippery when the temps climbed to 40 deg. later in the day. 😬

Beautiful day for a little trip to the river this morning. It was still pretty slippery on the hills due to all the leaves on top of the mud. The diff locks worked great climbing up the slick hills.

Great shell! Can't wait to see the interior turn out like your stellar kitchen.

Which brand do you have?

Here's a new toilet a friend showed me. It's a bagger, composter, or a liquid toilet. Pretty nice package.

I'm thinking about upgrading my Lugalo and pee bottle to the next level. Composting or urine separating toilets seem to be the rage for tiny houses and van builds, but they cost $1000. Of course I can't spend that much and have to figure out how to do it on the cheap. There's lots of options...

Here's a great sale on a Pecron power supply if you don't already have a camping power supply. https://www.pecron.com/products/pecron-e1000lfp-portable-power-station-2000w-1024wh

Yes, it's so nice to be in bed and use the remote to increase or decrease the temperature. I like sleeping with it a bit cold, but crank it up a bit when I'm making breakfast inside.
