I sail was actually out racing today. Many friends cruise very remote regions. I have cruised some. All of them are very aware of illegal sea based activities, drugs, people, pirate fishing boats etc. They communicate a bunch with others in the region and avoid places known to be “places of...

Don’t desert dwellers have dozens of names for sand? Reason being there are many types of sand. There are sands that support heavy vehicles and there are sands that eat heavy vehicles. Knowing which is which and your vehicle can determine when you know your in over your head and when your not...

With EVs the in the in the know only discuss amp limits. Discussing volts is just dumb

Fusion Energi Titanium with cooled seats. Haven’t found a replacement yet with cooled seats and an interior thats more than a 2005 Corolla interior ?

Umm! All EVs you set the peak pull number. You can set it at 5,10,12,15,18,25,40,43 pick a number! I have my moms T3 set at 45amps for her 50 amp feed. I have my plugin hybrid set at 12 amps for my 15 amp feed. The EVs are all Manually set based on their source

Most modern portable generators are good for about 12-14kwh per gallon of gas (gasoline being the most energy dense fuel other than diesel small diesel generators are not happening ?) Generator size simply affects how long it takes to produce that kwh power. All modern EVs can be throttled ie...

Your 92 LC must be very different than my 4spd 93 because 730 miles of range would have been 70 gallons of fuel which is well over 500lbs of fuel which the J80 wasn’t really super happy being heavy especially in hot places. I hated that things lousy range. Which is why my Subaru typically got...

Yeah a 12vdc fridge once cold should be in the 2-3 amp range. My 1991 huge built in Subzero in my house sounds like a tractor pulls 7amps at start and 4-5 amps running. Shockingly its about as efficient as the new energy star fridge in our garage. The 12vdc rv refrigerators are decently efficient.

Weight vs sand the lighter you are the better sand traversing ability you have. Diesel is heavy and definitely not quick.

Number one issue with EV charging is infrastructure ie power to the location. Its a huge issue not openly discussed by charging station owners/companies. Electrify America is actually VWs charging network company. They recently partnered withTesla to buy site batteries to address the issue of...

LOL anything Toyota is over priced today.

Wee roll are rolling sheds nothing in them. I’m a head of the game just getting a Eco pro whatever. If I were living out of the thing then probably not ideal. Given my use will be a few times a yr and for say the next 5 yrs. I’m not concerned. Again we spend more weeks sailing than land lubber...

Carson does interesting stuff but you need to custom order it and yes I recall they are built in a very similar manner as wolf pup ie stick built. I have looked at there stuff. Its dated and mehh and price is about the same.

Ok so if I replaced my 1986 30ft sailboat with a new one or modern one a $2700 two burner/heater stove combo using a diesel feed would be interesting however! $2700 plus selling the Diesel engine lands me in prime EV conversion budget for an excellent all electric sailboat setup. Which is where...

I have and like it but I already have delt with tent sides and big bear restrictions on where we can camp. Yellowstone. So changing our camp rig will also be addressing the hard side vs bear restrictions challenge. Keeping our utility/ tent rig for different uses.

I’ve noticed a few brands doing that. Have even seen one Geo Pro without a stove top or oven and would definitely prefer that. Wolf Pup is doing a narrower very modern looking two burner stove top that would be my preference over a huge 3-4 burner thing if I didn’t have a choice lol. But yeah no...

Not a bad idea My dad is 76 and in College his summers he ran pack outfits into the back country. Talking long hours in a saddle. One of his crazy stories was a guy that had a heart attack way out 8hrs out from the end of the road. My dad was pre med at the time. He got the guy back via CPR...

I know all 2022 Geo pros are 12vdc Refrigerators I haven’t come across a single dealer employee that actually knows its a 12vdc fridge ??. Pretty sure a large number of dealer employees have impaired memory and retention issues?

They offer a trim package that does that. But not sure what equipment they use. For people with $ which till interest rates shot up seemed like every Joe and Wendy handing $40k over to RV dealers for RVs that sold for $18k pre pandemic it makes sense. But for handy types makes sense to get as...

12v is definitely the go to now. Faster to cool, pretty efficient and easily handled by a small amount of solar. The negative being not enough solar snd most new tow rigs don’t feed enough power via 7 pin to keep the fridge and trailer battery topped up. So really having a healthy battery...
