Our set up: 2016 18' Starcraft AR One Extreme. About 3500 lbs---pulled by a 2008 Dodge Power Wagon w/G-56 manual. I installed Hellwig Load Pro 35 4 leaf helper springs. It has an ARE MX series cap. Home made bed slide. I can load up the camper, the bed & the cab. Truck hardly knows it's pulling...

It came to me in a box beat to heck, all taped up. Battery was in perfect shape though. It came showing 12.76 volts. Put it on the Odyssey Maximizer Triple Bank charger & it is up to 13.5/6 volts. Took it off that today & hooked it up to the Cabela's 20 amp twin bank charger. It went through the...

That's why I asked what the wire size is, on the ARB 12v plug. I want to cut the end off & install an Anderson plug. Don't want to buy something for the wrong gauge wire. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Nice truck. I also have a 2008 Power Wagon but G56. LOVE it! That's great mpg. GLWS.

Yes, I have done business already with them. Thats where I got my Anderson 350 amp Power pole plugs. martnH, What size & model # of Anderson power pole plugs did you use ? For what size wire ? I have the 350 amp ones with 2/0 welding cable for a quick disconnect for the 2nd battery in our...

I also have an ARE MX series cap, w/3 win-doors. If you have a properly sized inverter set up, dual batteries, decent alternator & only use it while engine is running, you could run a small elec heater. Or if you had a small generator, you could use it all night. We use this one for our camper...

Ducky's Dad, What type of solar are you looking at ? And how many watts/amps do you think I would need for an 82 qt & a 50 qt ARB ? Each would have it's own 12v deep cycle battery.

What size & model # of Anderson power pole plugs did you use ? For what size wire ? I have the 350 amp ones with 2/0 welding cable for a quick disconnect for the 2nd battery in our Power Wagon. Awesome product ! I would like to do this to our 2 ARB fridges. Simple, easy & uber reliable under any...

Curious, Why is it touted & sold as a deep cycle battery, if it is not a deep cycle battery ? Even the X2 version is touted & sold as a deep cycle.

I take a container of French vanilla coffee & a container of Chocolate coffee & mix them together. It is awesome. I have converted many a "I don't drink nothing but straight coffee" people. When we go camping, the smell itself while brewing in our stove top percolator coffee pot outside, has...

I got a cap. Someone told me before I ordered it, to consider the one with the extra 5-6" above the cab. For me, I am so glad I did. It makes getting into & out of so much easier @ 54 yrs old, plus I have hauled many things that I simply would have been able to with a cab height unit. I also got...

If the fridge is full & everything was already cold, it will cycle less than an empty one. 3 days is good I think. I will be doing this soon myself. We have an 82 & 50 qt ARB. Just ordered a Cabela's X-900 Gp 31 tonight. I will fill them full of water & beer & do the same test. Hope the new batt...

Good, bad or otherwise ? http://www.cabelas.com/product/boating/auto-boat-batteries-chargers/marine-deep-cycle-batteries/pc/104794380/c/104698080/sc/104446080/cabelas-x-pure-lead-agm-battery/1435369.uts?slotId=6 I just ordered one tonight, in GP 31 flavor. It will be used to power 82 qt or the...

I do appreciate it for what it is. I believe I said 2x that it is a sharp looking truck. Yes apples to oranges in size but NOT the price. That's the point. I just think that it is pretty silly to charge as much (or close to it) as a full size when you are getting nowhere near the full size...

I guess it is almost a size thing. For about the same money as that would be as shown-or less, you can buy a Power Wagon & just add 35's with no lift. The diesel is a great option for that though as it has 100 lb ft more torque (with no mods), than the gas engine. I have a 2008 PW with the G-56...

Fridge/freezer, hands down. Free yourself from the ice tether. It is liberating. The very first time we took ours camping (82 & 50 qt ARB's), it was a long 4 day holiday weekend. The "camp store" ran out of ice on Friday. People spent the entire weekend driving over 50 miles or much more, 1 way...

I know your mind is made up already but.... I bought 1 of these https://www.walmart.com/ip/Primus-Classic-Trail-Stove-Silver/33606254 and liked it so much, I bought 2 more & 1 for my daughter as well. Works great, is super compact & has never failed. Great for day packs or winter hikes for...

589Fab. Have you towed with the ZR2 Dura Max yet ?

I love music. Almost all kinds. Not into heavy metal or opera. I do like some Edith Piaf though as well. Anyways, in our "just off the beaten path 18' camper" , I installed 2 of these inside the camper: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Speakers/A-Series/TS-A1676R . I have these for...

I understand both. Each has it's pro's & con's. I went with what works best for us. I went with an ARE MX series cap. No windows except in the very front. Body colored win-doors on the sides & back. Dual handles/locks on each. Toolbox on d-side only. Full LED lighting, carpeted interior, cloths...
