    Does Partner Steel make a single-burner stove?

    I've been playing with my Kanz Kitchen and decided that I'd like to fit my Snow Peak grill box in there with a single-burner Partner Steel stove. This way I can can have a grill, burner, and oven (using a Coleman folding oven) in one chuck box. I swear I've seen single-burner Partners before on...

    Genesis Dual Battery System: Install Photos

    I just realized this is in the Jeep forum. I'd post it in the 12V forum. Guys like @dreadlocks and @dwh could probably sort you out. They know stuff!

    Genesis Dual Battery System: Install Photos

    I read the specs and it seems like it does have BMS (battery management system), thought it doesn't specifically say that: So, I'd guess that you don't need any other fancy gadgets to charge it (Overvoltage protection)...and it would seem that when the digital readout says it's dead, it's not...

    Genesis Dual Battery System: Install Photos

    I think you could use an isolator. This would give you two separate battery banks. Both would charge when the engine is running, but would be isolated from each other otherwise. 1 bank would be the Genesis setup and the other the Dometic lithium. The only problem is the "lithium" part. You...

    Has anyone gone from a drawer system back to a simpler way of storage in their vehicles?

    Taking the gear out for normal use would help, but what often goes unnoticed is the shear weight of the drawer system itself. The Cub Pack weighs 159 lbs. In your rig. All the time. It very well might weigh more than what you put in it. Not trying to be negative....but if it was cheap or free I...

    2012 Adventure Trailers Chaser and Eezi-Awn Globe Trotter tent for sale

    Up for sale again. I just pulled it 40 miles, and my poor little 3.8 Jeep engine just can't handle it with all the other weight. New price, $7000.00 or trade for 4 wheeler & trailer.

    Is my Jeep too heavy?

    I have air bags in the rear coils. They were cheap and in my opinion...worth the trouble. I had to take off the tires, release the rear control bars (not sure what they are actually called) and fully extend the springs (then you can push the deflated bags into the coils without too much of a...

    02 Taco for $17k...this is getting out of hand.

    Yeah, saw that earlier. Pretty sure it’s posted on the forum here too. Good luck with THAT sale! :)

    Does the Genesis hold two group 34s? I'm starting to get interested in LIfePo4...and I'm wondering how many Ah a guy can get in a group 34 LifePo4 battery?

    Outback as backroad camp vehicle?

    I think those years are more or less identical. No expert though and others might know better. In 2015 (when we bought the 16), the 3.6R only came with the top two trim choices. We have the lower (Limited?)...so I'd guess that either has xmode. We paid right around 37K for the 3.6R Limited and...

    Outback as backroad camp vehicle?

    Oh yeah...my 3.6R did this last winter. I tried to go through a deep puddle of slush at the grocery store (in a pretty good dip. Slush was about 8 inches deep). The car got stuck, but to be fair we still have the stock tires on there and they are bald as all heck. When I would hit the gas...

    Electric Chain Saw???

    So, I've been leaving my Stihl battery saw sitting at different angles for a couple of nights in a row and think I've finally found the angle that doesn't leak bar oil with a full oil tank. I'm waiting on some guy in Canada to quote me a price for a canvas saw bag...and if that works out...I'll...

    Kermit Chair

    They sent me an oak chair on their dime, and it has since survived a night of me drinking next to a camp fire. I wasn't being particularly careful with it either. I think it was just bum-luck that the first chair snapped and I really, really like the chair. Great company.

    Question to fridge owners - Do you leave it “running” in cold ambient temps?

    A little update to this thread. I read (on another thread here...or maybe this thread) that "Pros" turn off their fridge at night in cold temps to stretch out their battery systems. I tried it, and it really works. Keep in mind that it's almost alway below 40º F at night where I camp. When I...

    Scare Horn

    That's a tough situation. I'm usually so passed out drunk when in my RTT that a coven of witches could start dancing around the rig while chanting hand-in-hand until dawn... several nights in a row...and I would never notice. Maybe parking your rig with the headlights pointing toward the road...

    2-Door JK JeepKitchen - AT Chaser - Globetrotter - National Luna build thread

    Got my "attic" net today. After a little shopping, the TruShield Rear Overhead Net seemed to be priced reasonably. It appears to be pretty heavy duty. Thick webbing, buckles, and solid stitching. I really yanked on the buckles to tighten things up and had no issues. First off, the buckles for...

    Outback as backroad camp vehicle?

    I agree. For some reason this is just cool looking to me. Lifted and all that. Someday.
