Do you have any more details on the iPad Pro magnetic mount, by chance?

I used two Magnetic flush mounts by Scosche, I found at Best Buy. You can get them on Amazon too. I had to make a metal bracket that mounts to the trim bezel but it was pretty easy and looks pretty clean. I don't have any other pics of it but soon I'll be starting a series of YouTube videos on my channel that will go over it and the other things in this thread in more detail.

Think it'd be possible to cut into the roof of the tent and plumb in a small RV-roof-top AC unit?

Well it’s fiberglass so I guess it’s possible.

Oh nice! I was actually looking at those Scosche mounts. I'll be keen to see how you did the brackets, looking forward to the video.

I haven’t posted in awhile but I’m a few weeks into my trip. The truck is doing awesome. I am filming each day and you can keep up with my playlist.

Sure looks like it!I just watched your day 18-19 videos, pretty good stuff dude! I rode the TAT a few years ago on a little dirt bike, we camped everynight along the way, I think you setup camp in the same spot as us on your Day 19.

I look forward to seeing your routing as you get into western Utah and NV, the TAT (as it was about 5yrs ago) ran through quite a few sections that wouldn't be very truck friendly.
Case in point, this epic section in northern NV that was pretty much a cattle trail for ~40 miles!
Did you talk about your planned route in any of your videos? I've seen you look at different overlays on your tablet a few times, but I haven't caught how you actually laid out your route? Obviously when I was planning our route I was using input from other motorcycle specific sources (ADVRIDER, etc) to be aware of sketchy/dangerous sections, is there similar source for the truck guys?
Another section that was outstanding was the Paiute Trail section in UT.

The official TAT has changed a bit since you rode it. It now turns North at the Nevada border and goes through Idaho then through Oregon. Arguably a much prettier route, but indeed one that is both moto and cage driver friendly.

My Continental Divide trip is set for this year in July/August. 4,250 miles from the Mexico border in New Mexico, to Canada, then down to Sedona, AZ.
