So it's been a long time since I've posted here and it's been a few months since the last camping trip with the trailer but somehow for some reason my battery stopped taking a charge. I'm not sure if it's my Victron shore charger or if it's the battery...I have some screen shots that I hope may...

More to come but we bought a 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ! It's got 200k miles and a lot of character but the body is in great shape and the engine was just rebuilt. She runs like a dream and has a 3" lift kit with brand new AT tires. I'm looking at getting the paint touched up in a bit and then it...

Im looking for an older base vehicle to build an overlander on but I don't want to have to fix too much and I would like to be able to drive it off road right out of the gate, nothing crazy but something more than pavement. I found a 2000 Cherokee in seeminly really really good condition in...

I bought a gear box for the bed of the truck, I want to mount it on slides so I can pull it out when the tailgate is down. Looking for 48" base mount slides ideally but will settle for 40" if that's the longest option I can find. I would like to have a locking feature when it is closed or...

2016 F150 6.5' bed I'm looking for a weatherproof box to store camp gear + camp kitchen in the bed of the truck. I am hoping to stay under $500. This would be the ideal setup: https://www.mcmaster.com/6622A22/ but it is a bit expensive with tax and shipping and it is about a month wait. That...

I am in the market for a small (and quiet) generator to keep my 110Ah AMG battery topped off when I'm parked in the shade. My fridge and other devices run my battery down each day more than my solar can regenerate when not in full sun. Usually down to 75% or so. I have a Victron IP67 shore...

I have a friend who purchased a Costway 23499-CYPE Fridge and out of the box it would not cool. It turns on, the compressor seems to kick on, but it does not cool the unit at all, the temp slightly rises a degree or 2 while running. I am leaning towards thinking that it has no refrigerant in...

Hey guys, does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the software on the F150 at home (Not the SYNC software)? I have a 2016 3.5EB and I have been having weird issues since I bought it brand new. I chalked up the minor nuances to character of the truck and didnt think much of it because...

https://www.inverse.com/innovation/researchers-have-a-counterintuitive-concept-for-solar-panels-that-work-at-night Stumbled upon this while bored at work. This sounds pretty awesome if it can be achieved, even if it is just 1/4 as effective as sunlight.

Building my first trailer has been an adventure filled with excitements and heartbreaks and quite a few annoyances. I have been working hard on knocking out all of the annoyances on the list and I am down to the last few. The one I need some help on is my sliding windows tend to leak a bit...

I always got a kick out of it when my RC trucks could do this! I like where the technology is going. https://www.thedrive.com/news/31625/watch-rivians-electric-r1t-use-awesome-tank-turn-feature

Not sure if this is the best place for it, but does anyone use a cell service booster in their RV, van, trailer, truck, etc? I am looking for a 12v solution to extend my ATT cell and data service. I know getting away from all of that is sometimes the purpose but I am looking for a solution for...

I have just about everything worked out in my rig except for condensation on nights below freezing. I have tried candles, fans, prayer, and a combination of those items. I do not have a heater built in and I don’t have the ability to install one at this point in my 1.0 rig. 2.0 will be...

I currently have 4 pin for driving but I want to see if I can charge while in motion. Would it be possible to hook up charging only through the 7 pin so I don't have to rewire the entire trailer?

I got a fridge and the cover that came with it. The fridge will be stored away in galley with a 270* awning for shade so I can’t imagine the fridge actually ever seeing sunshine directly. The cover is black, reflectively lined, and about 1/4” thick. Does anyone have any first hand testing...

After testing and the inability to return some of these easily I am selling them for a loss but that’s no biggie. 1x120w Eco worthy new in box 1x120w Eco worthy used only 1 time in the field and some testing (in rain and in sun) ^these two I want to sell as a kit. Asking $300 obo 1x70w Aco...

It is the perfect size for my rear galley cooler tray. I couldn’t find any posts with this brand name so I figured I would ask. None of the big name brands make anything that would fit my setup unfortunately. Ausranvik 26-Quart Portable Fridge Car Refrigerator Car Fridge Car Freezer -4°F ~...

I have been getting a bit geeky on solar with my camper as I have just about run out of other things modify or to add to it for the time being. I built my rear galley around 2 20qt Orca Coolers on a tray that slides out so I can access them for food and drinks. I found a cool 12V fridge which...
