    Cap is on. LOVE this thing so far. We had some torrential rain yesterday. No leaks while driving or sitting still. Time to get making the bed slide now. And a custom bike rack for the rear bumper of camper.

    How I calibrated my ARB Fridge

    So, after raising my 82 qt by 6* in re calibration mode, this morning, the outside temp reading on cooler is fluctuating between dead on & 1* different, from the inside temp !!! Awesome.

    How I calibrated my ARB Fridge

    Does this re calibration stay in the memory even after it is turned off & unplugged ??? Or does it have to be done every time it is plugged back in ???

    Do you bring milk?

    Nothing like ice cold milk & pb&j or ice cold milk & cookies. Now that we have the small fridge in camper, 82 qt & 50 qt ARB fridge/freezers, we plan to take what ever we want.

    One Spice?

    30 years ago, when i married my lovely wife, i realized she was a BLAND cooker. Everything BLAND. I made a fix for that. I started growing my own hot peppers, then dry & roast them in the oven (180* for a couple days). Then use the flour canister on my Vita-Mix to turn the dried peppers into...

    NOt as good as the Aussie ones but...

    We wanted simple. I open & close 2 doors & i am in bed sleeping. No slides. We wanted a hard side so we don't get turned away out west. (had a friend that bought a hybred & they said no tents or tent sides because of the bears---even though a determined bear could get into ours as well...

    Portable water filtration, questions for the knowledgeable.

    No problem. Some people really dislike the taste after purifying filtered water with iodine or bleach---even with the proper amounts. & yeah, i gotta agree it is not the most pleasant tasting water. If that is an issue, usually a separate carbon filter will remove the bad taste.

    Portable water filtration, questions for the knowledgeable.

    Well, there is water filtration & then there is water purification. Two totally different things. Filtration removes bacteria & sediment but not viruses. Purification removes bacteria, sediment & inactivates or kills viruses. A pre-filter is always wise to use, it will make the filter cartridge...

    Choosing the right Fridge, how does one know which to choose?

    I am now biased. We just purchased 2 ARB fridge/freezers. 50qt & 82 qt. VERY impressed & i am not impressed easily. These things simply ROCK !!! Gets cold quickly. Was able to reach -1* F overnight in 70* temps. Went from 72*F to 25*F in about 35 minutes. These are designed for off road & will...

    Truck Topper/Cap Lift for camping

    I am currently awaiting an ARE MX series topper. The MX gives you 5-6 extra inches of headroom. Don't seem like much but it is. Plus, you can always get the TW series for even more headroom. I needed a flat top for a roof rack & the MX fit the bill nicely. Once you figure out the lift, it...

    Another perplexed newbie - which option?

    Well, i am biased, but here goes my thoughts. I read so many threads on people who have a built to the hilt this or that, then comes the "i am getting horrible mileage issue", next up is the "i need more room issue", "we had more kids issue", "i need more power issue", "i want to tow issue"...

    ARB Fridge/freezer questions

    Received the 82 qt & transit bag today. Free monitor rebate paperwork is all filled out & going in the mail later today. These things are excellent & should help us be able to do what we want: stay gone for a long time. Waiting on cap to come in so i can get to making the bedslide. :coffeedrink:

    One Spare Tire or Two?

    If you have the room: it's better to have it & not need it than to need it & not have it. A good sidewall slice would have you wishing for a complete spare. If you don't have the room: a quality tire plug kit, ( HD semi truck or tractor tire repair patch to temp. fix bad side wall slices) & air...

    Tow Vehicle Dilemma for Popup

    Sounds to me like you are squarely in Power Wagon territory with your needs & wants. Many people start out with a 4 door Jeep, but end up with a Power Wagon when they realize it just won't do what they need their vehicle to do. 6-8 mpg, haha lol, you may be the first person to get worse mpg than...
