We have a lot of solar on the van roof, but want to add a deployable array for when we are parked in the shade. I'd like to have a connection on the side of the van I can plug the panel into. Is there a common connector for this? I don't want a pair of MC4s hanging out in the breeze. Sent from...

I was wondering if someone could help me solve this puzzle. My systems is: 2023 Defender Renogy 100 Ah house battery fed by Victron DC/DC charger set up to charge lithium batteries. Refrigerator and Yaesu FTM-300DR running off house battery. The radio would intermittently shut down. It would...

Lately the second zone of our ARB Zero quit working properly. With it set to 37F, the compressor runs constantly, an independent thermometer in the compartment read -27F, and the display reads 105. Any ideas? It is 2 years old.

We are remodeling the inside of our Airstream Interstate Sprinter conversion, and followed droppings behind a wall panel until we found the rodent residential area. They love that pink fluffy stuff. I wonder if they like Thinsulate this much? Sent from my moto g stylus 5G (2022) using Tapatalk

I'm almost ready to dispose of my FTM-300DR. It shuts down randomly, and I can't figure out why. APO (automatic power off) is off. It's mounted in my Defender, vertically on the back of the center console and it worked well in that installation for a year before it started this problem. I...

I am permanently mounting a solar panel on our 2023 Defender. I would like to have it charging the starting battery, since systems draw several amps of power every time you open a door, and can drain that battery when you are out in the field for a couple days. If I do this, will any excess...

Hi All, After owning our 1968 Land Rover Dormobile for 17 years, it was time to pass it on to someone new. To replace it, we bought a 2023 Defender. What can I say, we wanted to try something different. We have had the new one for 6 months, taken it off the pavement a lot, and love it.

For those who have their antenna on the roof rack, how did you route the coax? I have done a lot of ExPo and overall internet searching, and the topic is lightly covered. Most installations I have seen just run the coax through a door seal, which I dislike. If the roof rack wasn't there I would...

Hi All, We have an ARB fridge mounted between the front seats of our 04 Sprinter. I have not gotten around to installing a mobile radio in this vehicle yet, so we use handhelds, both Icoms and Baofengs. They both get a strong, annoying signal whenever the compressor is running. It happens on...

Our ARB fridge compressor causes RFI on any nearby handhelds when it is cycling, including my Icom and on my Baofeng, both on VHF and UHF. Can I install a capacitor somewhere to prevent this? Thanks, James

Any suggestions on where to install one in a 1992 Range Rover? We have our dual battery in the front left corner, so that eliminates one of the easy options. We just acquired a wrecked 1998 Disco with ARB lockers that we want to transfer over.

My wife and daughter decided to help our friend resurrect her 1995 Discovery that had been sitting for 14 years. It was a mess, so they decided to make videos about it. Here is their latest effort: Will Merlin Start??? | Resurrecting a 1995 Land Rover Discovery 1

Our Sprinter came with a Carefree of Colorado awning that extends and retracts with a hand crank. The PO hardly ever used it. There is some sort of clutch or loose coupling inside, because when we try and retract it, you can feel slippage in the mechanism. It takes 3 people to retract it. One to...

Hi All, We picked these lights up at the local junkyard. I think they are Hella 4000s, but there are no identifying numbers on the outside. If they are 4000s, there are 4 different versions of those, so how do I tell which. We'd like to put them on our 95 Disco. We drive a lot at night in elk...

A couple of weeks ago while traveling after dark on I-17 in Arizona, we saw a couple of vehicles on the shoulder ahead with their hazards on. I slowed down from 65 mph to 55, and was glad I did because the reason those vehicles were there was because one of them had just hit an elk, and the...

After 14 years as a part of our family, it is time to let this go. 1968 Land Rover Series IIA Dormobile Factory Authorized Original Dormobile conversion Right Hand Drive Original 2.6 litre Six Cylinder Engine $45,000, price is negotiable. This is not a museum piece, we used it as the...

We recently bought a 1995 Discovery 1 with an almost perfect exterior and a nice interior for much less than half the price of an iPhone. It drives really nice, but had a blown head gasket. Following the tradition of Land Rover turning owners in the mechanics since 1948, and since I had just...

Any ideas on how to install front recovery points to this? I can already tell it needs two, and during recovery a bridle should be used.

I need help diagnosing before I start throwing money at the problem of our house battery not holding a charge. I can't decide if it is because it is old and abused, or there is something intermittently drawing it down. In July, we bought a 2004 Sprinter with 45 kilomiles on it. It is an...
