I stopped by a friend's fiberglass shop to get quotes on fiberglass molds to build version 2 of my camper. I'll keep everyone informed if I decide to move forward with production. I still have a lot to do in order to put this together, but I was wondering what this forum thought about a $14,000...

I stopped by a friend's fiberglass shop to get quotes on fiberglass molds to build version 2 of my camper. I'll keep everyone informed if I decide to move forward with production. I still have a lot to do in order to put together a business plan, but I was wondering what this forum thought...

The layout is very flexible. Sometimes I put the fridge/freezer in the back and sometimes I put it in the front.

Oh baby, it's on! Battle of the the Low Wattage Camp Cookers coming soon. Either one will run in my Gladiator without any additional power supplies or generators. I just turn on my truck when cooking.

One of the problems with using your truck engine as a heater for your camper is starting the truck, when you are cold and in bed. A friend on another forum had the same issue and suggested I upgrade with a cheap remote start for my Gladiator. How cool is this and only $139!! Now before you...

It's snowing and I'm getting stir crazy and bored, so it's time for the Low Wattage Camp Cooking Olympics ? Dash Mini vs. Road Pro I ordered a Dash Mini Griddle (350w 120v) which will run off my Gladiator's 400w inverter. I also ordered a Road Pro Skillet (180w 12v) which will run from my...

Here’s a couple small changes. Found a $5 LED light at Harbor Freight that velcros to the ceiling. Moved the fridge/freezer behind the driver. It’s a lot easier to access the fridge from inside or from the outside here. I never did get a heater for the camper. If it gets too cold, I can just...

Finally found a couple tea kettles. One is 120v, 300watt and the other is 12v, 150watt. Both will work in my Gladiator with my engine running, either plugged in my cigarette lighter outlet or the back seat 400 watt, 120 volt built in inverter.

I'm continuing to look into low voltage and low wattage cooking appliances. Here's a video on a 500 watt stove working on a Jackery 500. I'm trying to find a 300 to 400 watt stove, since my truck has a built in 400watt inverter. It would be nice to go camping without a generator, power...

Here's a nice video on the 12v oven.

It's hard to believe this overlanding oven is only 100 watts?! Looks like the Easy Bake Oven has grown up.

I finally found my 12v car cooker for only $3.95! Hot dogs are on me :ROFLMAO:

Alright, I'm a bit skeptical, but a friend on another forum has been using these for a couple years and suggested them. Here's a video on a 180watt 12v pan frying a burger. The jury is out.

@1000arms, I think you're on to something. Overlanding Easy Bake Oven!:D

You’re right, these 12 volt appliances are only 140 to 180 watts.

Here are some other simple options for cooking in my camper. No need for generators, propane, solar, or battery banks, just plug into your 12v cigarette lighter and go. Low power and slow, no flame and no need for my generator or propane. Just turn on my engine while I cook. Sounds like a...

Thanks Dan, the walls are still there. This is a bit confusing to explain. The front camper seat sits on top of the walls and can slide forward or back. Hopefully these pictures can explain. Most of the time when I camp I make the camper area larger by sliding the camper seats forward over...

Good question MOG, requiring some research. You had me stumped for a bit. My 3000i is an inverter generator with a clean sine wave used for sensitive electronics, so I'm pretty sure it will work with an induction cook top. I'll definitely test, before cutting any holes in my counter.

Sounds like a plan. I already have a nice 3000w generator (Coleman 3000i is made by Generac), that is quiet, small and very efficient. I might cut a hole in my counter and flush mount this cheap induction stove. In general, I don't need 3000w of power, the generator will easily power anything...

Here's a great article on using induction cooking in RVs. Stoves are cheap, but electric power supplies aren't. Bottom line is I need 2000 to 3000w power supply. Bit of a pain to lug my gas generator around, but electric power isn't any lighter and definitely not cheaper. Lots of choices out...
