    Portable Propane water heater inside RV

    "The majority of portable tankless heaters are cheaply built." I have the heater already and I've been using it for over 4 years with a roof top tent. Works great. I still try to understand how we can have two or three stove top burners on for an hour or more and no one comments on O depletion...

    Portable Propane water heater inside RV

    I'm thinking about installing a portable tankless, instant propane water heater in my small truck camper. I see folks cautioning about the effects of a propane flame in an enclosed space. But these water heaters are not producing a flame anywhere near as long as a propane cooking stove, yet no...

    Roofnest Falcon Down Low...

    Finally got the Roofnest Falcon up on the Pickup Trucks cap. Had it up on the standard RINO cross bars but it was about 6" off the top of the cap and the roof of the truck. Didn't like the look or the aerodynamics. With a whole bunch of parts fabrication I got it down within an inch of the top...

    Sold my RTT...Why??

    I forgot I made this post back in October. Well, I decided to take advantage of Roofnests Christmas sale and bought a Falcon. Beautiful construction and very high quality. Can’t wait to mount it up and use it.

    What gauge wire for truck to trailer charging?

    Don’t even bother. Do yourself a huge favor and buy a Renogy Dc to Dc Charger. The price has come way down. The 20 amp version might be perfect for your Rangers alternator. This will charge your batteries properly without damaging your alternator and/or your battery in the trailer.

    Falcon RTT on its way!

    Well, I Did It!...I was going to build a DIY wedge RTT as I just sold my Smittybilt RTT. It was just too much trouble to deploy and then fold and cover up 8' high on my truck. I just needed a place to sleep. Had to be stupid easy to deploy and fold up. But in looking at the Falcon tent with the...

    Lower budget fridge? Iceco?

    ICECO 12V Refrigerator.....November 2019 I purchased an ICECO VL45 portable refrigerator. Works wonderful, but while at the Overland EXPO East, the compressor started to make a loud noise upon start up. Lasted about 45 seconds and then would quiet down to a slight hum. Still worked great, but...

    Sold my RTT...Why??

    Eighteen months ago I bought a Smittybilt RTT and a small trailer to haul it behind my Toyota Venza. Although we own a 20' travel trailer/toy hauler, when my wife does not travel with me I have no need for such a large camping device. And I want to do a bit more "Outback" camping down dirt roads...

    Real World MPG HS vs PU

    Looking to buy my fourth PU truck camper. I've had both hard side and pop-up types in the past. Back when 4WD trucks were relatively affordable, I'd take them into extreme areas off road. After destroying a hardside with this type of travel, I bought a pop up. But now we use ATVs to get deep...

    Palomino Rogue

    Thanks for the review. Well done! The cab over section looks rather "thick".....When folded for travel, how much lower is this camper than a hardside? It appears to only be a few inches lower than lightweight hardside campers. Are there any dimensioned drawings of this camper available?
