    The return of the Zeppelin

    Very interesting article on a new breed of lighter than air-craft. Right now the money behind the programs is coming from the military, but there is huge potential for reducing pollution, reducing cargo freight costs, reducing number of runways, etc.

    Safari Pacific MTB

    I know you can do it Jim. I'm 100% behind Travis on the pink tassles, can you get them to rotate in different directions?

    What multi axis hitch do you prefer?

    Interesting, I've never had a problem doing it this way on several vehicles using different couplers.

    Fridge-in-a-box?

    It's not an issue, so long as you have the recommended clearances around the fridge. The temperatures inside a trailer are typically lower than those found inside a vehicle. A few caveats. We are talking about 45-60 liter compressor fridges The fridge is located in the main box The main box...

    What multi axis hitch do you prefer?

    The bushing on the max coupler is a very tight fit and it can be a challenge to align the two halves. We find that dropping the trailer side into the vehicle side is easier if it's done from the back and then move forward to the pin location as it's dropped down. An easier method of detaching...

    Coleman trailer furnace in a RTT

    If you have a thermostat in the tent then the fact is a large heater is really irrelevant. The heater will turn on and off predetermined by the thermostat setting. To give you some idea of heating capacity, we use the HS2000 it generates 6483 BTU and heats up a RTT very quickly, with the...

    Ball Mount for M416 Trailer

    An other option is to build a 2' receiver tube into the tongue of the trailer. That way you can slide in a Max Coupler, ball coupler, or lunette eye. There is a report on how to modify a M416 at the Jeep Brokers website. AT has some of the tongue plates needed in stock

    good camper heater

    For propane heaters its essential that the units be jetted correctly. Many marine furnaces and standard furnaces are set up to be operated at sea level, so they need to be re jetted for elevation. The HeatSource furnaces we use have been adjusted for elevation and operate at elevations up to...

    "cordless" engine block heaters.

    The block heater on the 7.3 warms both the water and the oil, which helps enormously. If you get a generator make sure it's producing enough power for everything. The block heater draws 1000 watts (around 8.5 amps), a battery charger will be 6-10 amps, plus anything else like a battery blanket...

    "cordless" engine block heaters.

    A few thoughts for you. There are a couple of techniques for 7.3 diesel starts in cold weather. Turn the key to the on position and let the glow plugs heat up for at least a 1 minute before attempting to start the engine. Your chances of starting are much greater if you do so. If you try...

    Here is an idea...Shipping would kill it though

    From personal experience I can tell you that putting up and taking down a traditional single trailer tent can be a major pain in comparison to a standard roof top tent. You are typically looking at a 5 minute job for a RTT vs. a 20 minute job for a trailer tent. Obviously the length of time...

    Protecting Circuit boards and computers

    I think your looking at "potting" or encapsulating" the circuit boards. There are lots of materials for doing both, do a Google search for potting or encapsulating circuit boards or Potting Solutions. The materials work well to keep the elements out of the circuit boards, but only if the board...
