Beautiful day for a quick overnight trip. I think I found the perfect site.

Man Overlanding has a never ending list of stuff to buy! Now I need a Jump Pack:) I wonder if I can charge my starter battery from my Power Station, if needed. I'll have to look into that.

Any new pictures of your build?

I missed that! My power supply should arrive next week. I'll do a test to see how long it runs the fridge before I go camping. Hope to do a little camping this weekend. I've been running the fridge off my truck battery so far, but this scares me a bit. I unplug it at night. My fridge has a...

I believe my 600 watt power supply is 50AH. We'll see how long this runs my fridge. Nice to hear your 100AH runs your fridge for 5 days.

Yea, I'll have to check these solar panels out a bit more. I imagine Renogy is better quality, but it's hard to pass up this price. I like the clean look and easy install of flexible panels taped to the roof. From what I understand you simply use 3M double sided tape to stick them on, then...

So here is what I have been researching for electrical power for my camper. Currently the truck's stock battery and 400w inverter are marginal for my needs. I've narrowed my plan down to my "Ideal System" and my "Value System". I'm going value system for now. 1) Ideal System - Replace my...

Love to see your plans/layout of the interior. Curious if you're going solar or propane. Also love your location for the spare and Hi-lift jack.

The answer is easy for me. If I had a dedicated overlander, it would be hard sided. But this is my daily driver. It's my car for work, my convertible for weekends, my pickup for projects, my tow vehicle for toys, and my camper for fun. It had to look good and be my Swiss army knife of...

Maybe something like this?

Here's a window that might work, or just screw and caulk on a piece of Lexan over the opening. Great job on the build. https://www.recpro.com/rv-frameless-window-20-w-x-15-h/

Thanks for creating this thread. I'm curious what you think would be a good price for a production version of my camper. I'm still testing the prototype, and have a number of improvements I want to make. I've had a good response on the concept so far. Let me know what you think a competitive...

Very impressive build! I had a similar path as you, and I loved AEV's vehicle, but decided to build off a Gladiator. Good luck and yours looks great!

Well I ordered the Pecron E600LFP. Do you ever get that feeling that something is too good to be true? I'll let you know how it works out.

Here's an interesting product. Some small and relatively cheap power stations are now capable of running much larger appliances. Pecron E600 for $299 can power up to 1200 watt appliances such as microwaves and hot plates due to it's large inverter. Basically this is cheaper than installing a...

Thanks, I hope to put her to good use this summer!

I’m still recovering from my operation, but I can’t sit around any more. I took a little trip to my camp ground to see how it faired this winter. I couldn’t get all the way with the truck because of a washout. Good thing I had my UTV. Looks like I’ll have some trail fixing this summer.

Looks like a 37" spare might fit depending on it's actual size. The second video has a great explanation, but the bottom line is there is 36.5" between the track bar and the back hitch. There's a lot of factors such as if you moved back your axle with an aftermarket lift, if the spare is...

Great video on Clayton track bar which will make room for a 37" spare tire. ! Now I'm wondering if I can get a 38" spare under my Gladiator with a new track bar?! Just some advice for anyone like me that runs a smaller spare tire. I run 38" tires but have a factory spare. This is not a...

Here's a nice pic from last fall.
