    Where to find RV solar power parts in Baja Mexico?!

    Currently traveling through Baja, didn't have time to do a shakedown of my solar system in the desert before going on this trip and just realized (1) I need a larger solar panel, and (2) I have a smart alternator which means my dc-dc charger doesn't put out power most of the time. Be nice to...

    Renogy DCC30S (or 50S) Grounding Question

    Curious for those of us mounting the DCC30S in a truck camper, not a modern cargo van, where we would ground it to. My assumption is that I can drill a hole in the nearest, most convenient place in the frame under the bed and screw off the ground wire there. Or do I need to locate the trucks'...

    Mattress Foam for Winter Camping (memory foam alternatives)

    Need to make a 3" mattress for a lightly insulated pop-top camper and can't, won't, and don't want to use memory foam since it gets rock hard in winter, even with a heater in the cabin. Exped mat is a possibility due to the R value but don't feel like opening the valve and folding it in half to...

    Espar B4 gasoline heater in truck without aux fuel tap?

    Anyone have any beta on installing these in vehicles without aux fuel tap ports on the fuel pump? Wondering if its possible to T into the fuel lines somehow- the thought of removing the fuel tank on a 2015 Canyon to access the fuel pump and drill a hole through it or the tank sounds like not fun.

    RWD Astro Tiger 4x4 Conversion

    I know the topic has been covered here but I still couldn't quite get the answers I was looking for after searching for a bit, so here goes: The general consensus is that if you wanna do a 4x4 conversion on an astro that you start with an AWD.

    Help- FWC-style Lift Panel rebuild, is 1/4" ply too thick?

    Does anyone know how thick you can go for the lift panels? Can you go 1/4" and still have the panels close flat? The original crap luan material is only 1/8" thick, but finding anything 1/8 thick with any kind of structural integrity is impossible where I live, even at the Home Depot. Can you go...

    AstroSafari Tiger Provan GT restoration advice?

    I just picked up a 2WD 1988 Provan GT in excellent mechanical shape. 80k original miles, no leaks, good compression, no metal floating around in the gear boxes, front end tight, etc.. But the coach needs a little work to repair some water damage. I picked it up for $4800 (sorta) sight unseen. I...
