Things I like about Boxio: good height with the riser option inexpensive compact Things I don’t like: stopper for urine funnel easily lost; drilled a hole and attached paracord clips come off and are useless waste bags will compost; sometimes before you want them to urine container is very...

CIGS panels with double sided 3M tape cannot be removed. BougeRv also sells a model of CIGS with grommets instead of sticky back. You could fashion a mounting system that secures grommeted panels to your roof that is removable. I don’t know how well 3M VHB tape adheres to metal. You’ll have...

You can buy corrugated plastic at HD and Lowes. We can chat on FB Tune group. Haven't built the mount yet, cuz I’m building out my truck. But I can share the design concept with you. I’ve done part of it, but don’t want to use all of my 2020 until I get the M1 installed.

You have a nice powerstation. It will accept a lot of solar input, so you have many options. First thing to consider is budget. Glass monocrystalline panels are the cheapest option, but their weight can make them undesirable for overlanding. They’re plain too heavy (35# or more) for pop-ups...

If your Yeti provides as much ac output as you may need, there is no reason to change your powerstation. Simply hook up a LiFePo4 similar to my diagram and you’ll have both all the ac and all the dc you need. My LiFePo4 is self-heating and Bluetooth. And my powerstation is, of course...

This is how my system is wired. It’s not automatic. You have to physically switch a wire, which is quite easy. In my case, my Ecoflow has 2x 15a 11-60v Solar inputs. 10A dc output. My LFP is charged by a ac to dc charger. Powerstation charged by 400w solar and a dc/dc charger to one of its...

I’ve learned that one of the beauties about having a powerstation and LFP setup is that they can charge each other. This allows you to connect all your solar to the powerstation and dump watts into the LFP when the powerstation is full and the sun is still up Without the need to run the engine...

IMHO, yeti 4000 is a ton of money for a need that can be met for 1/2 the price. Pick a powerstation that will give you enough ac output (like 2,400w), then decide if the total capacity is sufficient to meet both your ac and dc needs. If it is enough, and you’re gonna go with just the...

Oops. Sorry.

I don’t have a power boost Model. I have a plain vanilla F150 2.7L turbo. tThere is no power to the bed.

Owww, my head hurts.😱

I’m a big-time advocate of Dave’s recommendation to install a dc fuse block. Not doing so invites complexity, confusion and possibly danger. JMO, but I’m also a strong advocate of installing bus bars. Bus bars reduce complexity, and gives the entire rig a common path to ground. Additionally...

Tune M1 is the hottest brand on the market. Becoming so popular that a couple of other brands recently announced offerings that copy the Tune design concept. A bit of a wait to get a Tune. Had to get in line. been waiting a couple of months but the wait will soon end.

Think about why you would want to put a Tune on an 8ft bed. Only one person I’m aware of has an 8 footer ordered, because they’re doing a mobile office. Two reasons not to do it. Overlanding on trails or passes will be very difficult due to long wheelbase, unless you sink some serious money...

Trying to charge a powerstation from your vehicle ac outlet is an unnecessary uphill run. The Victron IP22 can do the job, but why bother with that, since the amount of ac you can get from the outlet is pretty puny. If your alternator can handle a larger load than the ac inverter in the truck...

FYI TUNE M1 Update: Talked to Tune today. They can do a slider in a side hatch but not an Arctic tern. OK by me. They are going to engineer a gas strut supported rear hatch with door, similar to Chris’ mod. Plan is A year out. As conversation continued, it was said they might speed that up...

Thinking I could do a ply backed galley build aligning with driver side windowless hatch, and use space in between for recovery gear, easily accessed. No mollies needed?

Yup @K9LTW. watched the videos. Not too difficult, but I’d have to buy rivet tools. Really, really, really like how (even at 6’2”) you can sleep up top east/west in M1 without using platform extension. Sort of a game changer if all other considerations were equal. And definitely changes...

The external pump costs @$22 costs about $10 less than whale. But, please post photo of you waterproof insert you build. Maybe I’ll do my second one with the whale. Keep the first one for hot because it’s easy to get it apart to ready it for the immersion heater. And, I put a 12v plug adapter...
