well ive read all 113 pages... we just returned from a 5 day wheeling and camping trip to Windrock Tennessee. Rain, snow, way below freezing temps and mud... fun was had! Stayed in a KOA on way home and woke up to -5F, but we slept like a dream. I added a 300ah LiPo, Renogy 40A Charger controller, solar was on roof before i got it (used '22) so not sure on how many watts it collects, but am in process of redoing the electrical (breakers, shunt, 3000w inverter and wired for 400W portable solar) also adding a 20A breaker to WFCO for the truma combi to be run on shore power vice propane if we are at a KOA or state park temporarily and save propane for the back country. We added two 2gal Rotopax to the fridge and battery doors, paper towel holder on end of the kitchen slide, used some 2in pvc T fittings, two 90* and two 45* to shoot heat up towards the front but still shooting it across the standing area. Also a 3in foam mattress its legit!! Plan to eventually get the AC upgrade for the roof seeing as we love in SE. Also L track to exterior near kitchen and on interior ceiling with a bungee net to store thinghs out of the way. Whats largetst tire anyone has added?

The day i got it and the day after we got home from Tennessee. Not my ideal color choice as both my Raptior R and Bronco Raptor are orange but oh well... Maybe i can get a pinstripe guy to do something or get a new wrap over this one, but i imagine that a lot of work or $$$

I think a splash of that orange on it would look awesome TBH.

Added some PVC vent diverter/extensions. Tomm i start wiring the Truma combi directly to the WFCO on a separate breaker.

Ours is the same color and also a ‘22. I agree, not ideal! But is does blend in nicely when you’re out in the wilderness. Orange accent would look nice.

We have done most of the same upgrades you mentioned… 280Ah battery, 400W solar, Truma hardwired to shore power… but I could never get the WFCO to go into lithium mode, so it was ditched in favor of a Victron IP22 to match the other Victron solar controllers and shunt.

I think @mep1811 has 33s…? Maybe? A 285 somethingorother?

Would you mind sharing how your PVC diverters attach to the heat vents? That really looks like a great way to keep those vents clear of bedding and moving air. I’ve been meaning to do something similar.

I have the stock tire size just changed to steel wheels.

I just used regular flexible automotive ducting.

Details in a prior post I made on this forum

My bad, I thought you had bigger tires to match the LC. I should’ve @‘d Raptor Fam for my last question in my post, I like their PVC heat ducts.
