    GROUP BUY: Kermit Chair Group Buy - Expedition Portal Logo Optional!

    I have already bought two of these: one for the wife in regular size and a wide for me. Buy the way, for those of us who are car camping (not motorcycle) the wide is better for a normal sized male. I find it just more comfortable and I know when I factor in a winter jacket it will be even more...

    Do you guys use your HARDSHELL RTT in the winter?

    My James Baroud does not have insulated floor sandwich between the fiber glass like Autohome has. Just clarifying for the OP.

    Getting solar power into my truck

    Thank you Rando for challenging dwh's insistence on voltage being the same everywhere and refusing to follow basic circuit logic.

    Getting solar power into my truck

    Are we talking DC? If so, impedance should not even be discussed. The dynamics of a solar panel is not an AC dynamic. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Getting solar power into my truck

    I agree that heat is lost to the atmosphere and measured in watts. But the electrons are all still in the wire flowing along from one end to the other. Power = current x voltage. The voltage drop caused by the skinny line means less watts available if the same current is assumed to be flowing...

    Getting solar power into my truck

    @dwh, that’s a lot of reply which is probably directed at me. Why do you say a volt meter is passing current when set to read voltage. By design the circuit in the meter would ideally have infinite resistance (open circuit) and in reality perhaps some fraction of a mA. This mA circuit in the...

    Getting solar power into my truck

    I don’t think @dwh is correct with the statement of same voltage everywhere in circuit. The current is certainly the same everywhere (you are not loosing amps to the atmosphere) and if there is no current flowing then there is no voltage drop, but once you have current flowing through a...

    SPOT X vs garmin inreach mini?

    I found the Spot X to be unreliable. Kind of defeats the purpose if the “I’m OK” message doesn’t get to my wife. Switched to In Reach mini and it works perfect.

    Upgrading Stock 2018 Hilux for Long trips on extremely bad roads in Africa

    What is the stock size? 265/70 R17? For sure a tall side wall to protect against pot holes, may want to look at 255/85 (75?) R17 for a taller option. I sold my KO2s due to poor wet traction and now have Cooper STT Max.

    Trans America Trail - Oklahoma to Oregon

    I only learned about TAT a few days ago thanks to this forum. I am now envisioning a SoCal to Durango type of adventure in my future. Thanks for posting the GPS site!!
