I just finished the bulk of this build out in the back of my 2015 F150, 6.5ft bed means I can stretch out pretty well in the back. I have a few more details I want to do to it, and I am sure using it will result in mods and additions. I finally found a used truck cap for a reasonable price...

I have a Viair and an adapter but the problem is that it took so long to even get close to pressure. Easier, yes; faster, not really.

I have a Jackery 500, but I haven't had the chance to use it very much. I plan to run a CPAP machine without heat or humidification, and preliminary tests in my house indicate I can get at least 5 nights's use before it runs down without being recharged. I will also plug in some LED lights...

I see this discussion a lot recently here on Expo, and while I agree these units may not be able to do what some hope them to in terms of power output and solar recharge, they do have a purpose if one understands their limitations. Yes you might be able to build a better performing unit for the...

RTIC is offering a new "lite" cooler (not rotomolded) with a wire rack and divider for $150. Might be a nice compromise between the high price Yeti-class and the cheaper Ozark Trail. I looked at Lifetime coolers at WalMart, they got great reviews at independent cooler test sites, but the new...

The Jackery 500 has a regulated power supply as well, FYI.

For a built in solution for my house battery, I use an Iota DLS55- IQ4 based on recommendations here. it seems to work pretty well, although I don't use it all too often. Mostly for when my solar panels can't keep up and I am near a plug. I also use it as an insurance "top off" for my...

I would recommend using a portable in addition to rooftop rather than instead of rooftop. The rooftop can charge while you drive, still generates charge when the angle isn't great, and is more secure from theft- you don't have to pull it in at night, when you leave the camper unattended, etc...

Not mine but might be of interest to somebody. https://maine.craigslist.org/pts/d/belfast-8-contractors-cap/7207339424.html

I used them for a large (24" x 80") drawer that goes completely under my travel trailer, side to side. I also have homemade guides on the side to stabilize it. I don't know if they have worn in divots, but they still work great after 3 years and 50,000 miles of travel. They don't glide as...

I think Dreadlocks mentioned it earlier, but a single jetski trailer is a great project base. I bought a galvanized Karavan jetski trailer that is light, narrow, sturdy and once you have a flat bed on it you could build any size or shape box you wanted. The axle rusted out on me but I was able...

I really like this. Did you attach the cooler to the slide, or will you strap it down while driving?

I can't address your question specifically but Will Prowse did a few videos where he talked about being able to overpanel the Jackery units. You might want to have a look. I am not sure if overpaneling will get a better charge rate in full sun, but maybe better in less than perfect sun? The...

I have a 2015 F150 w/ the OEM inverter and it doesn't work with a number of electronics that should be within its range- cordless tool battery chargers, for example. You are right with the idea of "dirty power" and the 400w may also be a stretch by Ford. I have a higher quality plug-in...

You could do one long drawer, full bed length but only 1/3 or 1/2 bed width, maybe 12 or 16 inches deep. Make it easily removable so if you need to haul something larger it gives you flexibility. Other options include a Thule load bar system (not the tall racks) that sits on the bed rails...

PM sent.

I'll take the Goal Zero for $375 if you will cover the shipping. It shouldn't be more than $20 according to the USPS site.

What year F150 does it fit?

Do you have a build thread? I am interested in your setup, would love to get more details.

I put Bilsteins on all the way around with 1" level in the front. The only time I have any rubbing is when I am at full lock, reverse, and an odd angle (not level ground), and it only happens once in a while. I didn't do any trimming in the spare tire bay.
