Thanks @Buddha. and @DaveInDenver I forgot to add in the battery specs, it is basically the type of battery used in UPS, battery powered backup lighting systems, I will need to make sure I control the amps, for that battery about 15 is max that part I have sorted out although as I understand it...

Exactly as the says title Charging SLA 12v /55Ah Battery from the Alternator. My electrical needs are very small , but I spend a lot of time in the spring and fall out about. Solar is not really a good option in SW British Columbia, during those times. Use is for a couple of Led lights and...

I am with the rest too much brake too often, you need to revisit the trailer setup. A temp monitor will not help much, more engine braking and slow down you need to accept on active logging routes your timelines can be pretty worthless

Yea when our group goes out a defender diesel always leads 55-60 on flats at best

Moly is closed as the local band has been fighting with Provincial government for about a decade to limit access and finally had enough as they have not been able to get any traction. Technically it is an illegal closure as it is claimed but not reserve land as I understand it. Grizzlies...

If you run solo they take a bit to setup and take down. But on a rainy day they sure are nice

I followed a D130 for along way about a month back. The P/U box did not move in relation to cab as far as I could tell, unlike a lot of traditional NA P/U. Not sure why unless it is tied to the frame more "securely"

I leave a sleeping bag ( 0 Deg C) and pillow in my Tepui Ayer. No issues, little more work to close than with my summer bag but no big deal, You need a bit of down pressure a the corner's and back when you zip the cover down. The tent in on top of LR Discovery II.

I have a Tepui Ayer which is small clamshell tent (2 very friendly people), and if gets warm with just me inside. The trick is to open the windows to find a balance, on mine the windows roll down which makes it easy to find the sweet spot. I also use a USB powered fan in one window to push air...

@mobydick 11 no do not buy it, unless you are really mechanically minded. A bunch of lights could be simple, ABS systems or could be a big problem. Before buying any Disco 2 you need a code reader and to know if it ever overheated In Canada a decent D2 will run 4000-5000 any thing under may...

We ran out of day light and road, old dead end logging road August 2020

The easy but close to the edge, way up as vs to driving through the big hole to my right and other Disco same place below

@alanymarce the point below is very good, when it get hot up here at lunch I pop the gas can out and vent it, then do that same at dinner. I usually only have to do it the 1st day. Being up in British Columbia, and on the coast we do not get that many days a year that it is a problem.

@alanymarce, The fumes are only an issue if you have a leaky can and no sense of smell. Now I know it depends on your vehicle but I am pretty sure it would take a hell of lot of gas on a hot day to reach a dangerous concentration, as in ignitable. Both the Canada Safety council and the fire...

@Renegade Camping You could try a little USB powered fan at night aimed out a window up high, you need the one across open too. That will get some airflow and should help. When I slept in my truck I had one aimed out the sunroof with my windows down about 50% -10C and that kept most of the...

@Renegade Camping avoid the little buddy for drying it will add some moisture. If you can use one of those little electric ceramic heaters that would be better, put it near the door on a piece of plywood with the door and far window open. I find they heat up the inside pretty quick and fan...

@Randun It really is a personal thing, I slept in a ground tent for a couple of years but trying to find clear space, and sometimes dryish to pitch the tent got tired fast. I then slept inside for about 8 years, but as my trips got longer that was always work juggling gear to sleep. Last year...

That looks like a great trip so far !

@badfysh You can get the voltage via Torque (or similar app for Iphones) and a bluetooth ODB reader

Brilliant, best of all in BC you can go a lot of places with that setup
