Single touch flip between a couple of layers would be great.

Did a careful fuel consumption test over the weekend: - The rig weighs 3010 kg or 6636 lbs - Drove a mixed route, between 80 and 100 kph (50 to 60 mph) - 211.5 km or 131.42 miles, calculated by GPS (my trip meter needs to have 5.5% added to be accurate) - used 27.432 liters or 7.247 US gallons...

That's good feedback! I have the original, and was thinking of upgrading for that reason. Though up here, I often have to infer because forecasts are for far away. Do the new units have a loud alarm? A.

The newer models can request and display weather data, which is cool

This fellow has a ton of rants/information: https://handybobsolar.wordpress.com Very worthwhile reading. A.

Have you measured the voltage, with the fridge compressor operating?

Sorry if I missed an earlier post, but what slides are you using? Thanks, A.

Last night: - Ran a 6 AWG positive from the right side battery to the storage cubby in the right side of the cargo area; used a spare "nipple" in the firewall and the door jam. - Terminated to a Blue Sea fuse panel/sub panel; - Fused with a MAXI in-line fuse holder, at the battery: -...

Got my steps installed. Some interference with the plastic transmission skid plate that will require notching the skid itself. Next step is wiring fridge socket, a bunch of USB ports, couple of radios. A.

I've yet to build my solution. :( Leaning towards a platform without drawers, though.

My actual truck with tent: I'll move it back 5" or so and see how that goes.

The image was just an example, not my truck, but I think you're correct in any case. So the nose of the tent should be behind the invisible line drawn from the slope of the windshield? Yeah, I need to buy some of those Gamviti gutter mounts and make a lower profile rack, it's been on my list...

I recently moved my Roost hard shell RTT from my old truck to the new. In doing so, I moved it forward a few inches because that seemed more balanced. But I think it is now noisier. Are there any general rules about wind noise that I should know? Moving it back and forth, driving on the...

The only problem I've run into is splatter. I don't cook bacon or deep fry under my hatch. :)

I like that stove!

This whole discussion is completely backwards! As the saying goes: "If you think price has anything to do with cost, you're doing it wrong". :) Add another $1000 to the price, see if they keep selling. If they do, add another $1000 until orders slow down. Then, when you have a $6000 product...

Yeah, I switched from Propane to a Coleman dual-fuel real cooking and a cheap butane catering-style burner for little jobs in warm weather. Propane become too brittle for me: hoses, fittings, valves, more valves, cold weather, bottle weight, meh. What I'd really like is a Coleman dual-fuel...

Yeah, that was a decent hit. How did you manage that? Water? A.

Sanded, primed, and painted my ARB steps: Tonight I will install them, having found the ARB install notes. I bought there used, and the PO of the steps had not used silicon under the checker plate, so they were noisy. Also purchased some stainless hardware, so hopefully they will look decent...

So, the next thread is the hip build? What options are available on that thing? Will you be adding aftermarket suspension to it? :)
