Nice looking beast! Was a pleasure to meet at Devil's Tower.

Contact Fabian Heidtmann Beyond wheels, he has a lot of experience with these beasts. Call or e-mail, his website is pretty much dead. http://www.expeditions-lkw.de/satz-mit-5-felgen-11-75x22-5-8-loch-et110-kronprinz.html Also get in touch with Erik Smetsers. His main website seems to have...

Probably too late, but I would recommend feeding the Webasto/ESPAR gear from a dedicated 5 USG tank. This makes it much easier to use kerosine and there is a lot of anecdotal evidence that this prevents all manner of annoying problems with soot, especially at altitude - think western US or the...

After a long and expensive series of misadventures, I finally have nice round wheels on my MB 917. To these I mounted a set of General Tire Grabber OA WB, size 385/65x22.5, load range L, and set off from the east coast Overland EXPO. The trip took us from Arizona, to California, Nevada...

Earthroamer driven around the world. You will note that the problems were all Ford/diesel problems, not problems with the Earthroamer, per se. That extreme enough for you? Overlanding is NOT off-roading. But no, I wouldn't buy an Earthroamer. ;)

Would argue that if you need a low voltage shutoff, then you need a bigger/second battery first, not last. A low voltage cut off is a bit like looking for a better parachute, rather than designing a plane that has enough fuel to reach its destination. ;-) If you don't want a classic, isolated...

Don't bother with a low voltage cut off that will thaw your food, design an electrical system that can carry the load.

Had I designed the system on my truck, I would have stayed with 24v at the battery/charger/solar level and simply used an equalizer to produce 13.5v for the "12v" loads. But when I got the truck, I had a 24v truck trying to charge a 12v AGM bank with a 13.5 equalizer. I now use a 24v to 12v B2B...

I need to do a write up on this, but, based now on two years of experience in the US, I am floating a new model. -- Get a 110v A/C of the correct size for your camper. If you are in the soggy south or blazing southwest, you are looking at hours of humidity and heat. If you really have to deal...

See what Carl has to say. https://hightechautoandtruck.com

Things we like about the C-Head: -- The stirring handle is much easier to use than the crank on the Nature's Head. And the round paddle in a round bucket means no dead corners, an issue with the Nature's Head. -- No tools/thumb screws needed to dump. The Nature's Head was too wide for the door...

Since we love to talk dirty .... -- Our C-Head is bolted in place; it ain't going nowhere. We use it over public facilities as it is so much more pleasant. The long drops do make a nice place to to dump, however. -- The C-Head sells a shower seal kit. It is OK, but expensive. They simply add...

No, unlike a cassette, they never smell, not even in use. We have more problems with odor from our grey water tank in hot weather.

Some background and some comments. Had a Nature's Head in our Tiger. Our XPCamper came with a cassette and, after one season, we ripped that out and installed a C-Head. Why the change of brands? The C-Head is shorter front to back and the shower space in our XP is very small. Now the comments...

Another vote for the 12v Forum. These horses have been beaten to death many times. FWIW: -- The post from Mechman is bizarre, but it appears to assume a diode based isolator and is correct in dismissing these as terrible bits of kit. -- Many (most?) GM trucks of the vintage of your 2010 have...

All of those who don't believe that multiple pulleys can increase mechanical advantage would be well advised to visit any 18th or 19th century museum ship, e.g. USS Constitution, HMS Victory, et al. Feel free to examine the rigging used to move the sails or lift the guns. Take all the time you...

Caveat emptor! Sounds like David Little is back from the dead. There are lots of folks who have reported poor results with this gentleman. (Google is your friend.) Hopefully, you will be the exception.

Since I can never resist a plug for composing toilets! o_O We hauled out the smelly cassette and installed a C-Head. (http://c-head.com) Chosen because it is smaller than the Nature's Head. Initial three weeks have been great. Following Sandy Graves's advice, we change once a week. The bucket...

Have a Dual Top in my current camper and had one in my previous camper. When they work, there is nothing better - lots of heat, both air and water, and generally dead silent. Very economical to run. My current Dual Top has been trouble free for two years. Problems: -- Support is very weak in...
