    Expedition trailer power -what do I need to do?

    Fans and LEDs are all 12v items. To convert to DC you need an inefficient inverter. Its best just to stick with 12v stuff. LEDs work directly off 12volt feeds. My kitchen LEDs in my house all have a small transformer to step down the power from house current. Ill post some picts in a few minutes.

    89 Toyota Pickup - Cali -> Alaska -> Cali

    I always really liked this body style. I had a 91 4runner for several years. Really liked the truck, but three full 3L V6 ground up rebuilds by toyota I had to dump it. Windage was a issue on long trips and big head winds. If I were you I would try to keep the roof line as clean as possible...

    My only thought would be nice dents in the bed after a while of having all the camper weight on the small wheel contact points.

    Cheaper and very cool SF bay adventure take the tiburon ferry to Angel Island. Hike to the 900ft top for a 360 view that will knock your socks off. The Ellis Island of the west coast.

    Super cool place in Marin Headlands just north side of the gg bridge. Look up the Pelican Inn swing by for a beer or potpie etc. Check out the massive gun batterys in the Headlands. Some cool history up there and great views.

    If your thinking of heading into SF just be aware we have a terrible smash and grab issue. Any cars with gear, in sight will be looted when parked in the typical touristy areas. We never had any issues the 12yrs we lived there but we kept the interiors void of change, chargers everything. A good...

    Expo Vehicle and an Airstream

    I put solar on the house in feb. You can get single panels pushing 310watts now for reasonable cost. I ended up with 285s given they were sold out when I pulled the trigger. The 285 LGs we have are nice. But LG panels are slightly wider and shorter in length than most other brands so in skinny...

    Gramps use to pack in shrimp, and whip up a killer fresh salad with shrimp on it. That was back country horse packing!! Er camping.. I've found that old gramps was onto something given I've done that a few times now also.
