    Chairs for men of substantial dimensions?

    I'm 6'2" and 350 lbs. Yes, I'm working on losing weight but it's a slow process. For those other substantial men on this forum what have you found to be the most comfortable and durable camp chairs?

    Series or parallel?

    Sitting in my garage is two 100 watt panels and mppt controller. They'll be charging a 68Ah house battery. It's not the ideal setup but it's literally all I can fit in and on my suburban in it's current configuration. Installation is imminent. My understanding is that by wiring the...

    Camp rug?

    Hey ya'll. The last extended camping tip I did was four nights in the same spot at an arts festival, in the rain. The area around my awning and the back of my Burb where I cook became a muddy mess. The outdoor mat I used was little help as it just got stomped down in the mud. Id love to hear...

    Gmt800 Gmt 400 Burb or Tahoe awning mount?

    My current setup for my ARB 2500 on my 03 z71 burb are some cheap L brackets bolted to the factory crossbars. Im not 100 percent happy with the setup and looking to see what others have done with a similar vehicle. Ultimately I'd like an easy way to move the awning from pass side to driver...

    Storing wet awning

    I just left a festival and my ARB awning and awning room are still wet. It's going to continue to be rainy and wet for the next couple days. Have any of you had issues with mold as a result of stowing your awnings while still wet?

    Table? Level your stove?

    Hey y'all! I run a Coleman propane stove, love it, and was wondering if there's any clever trail hacks or mods to help level it? And, I'm running Rubbermaid folding tables. They're great but really slick. Are these high dollar tables y'all run really worth the extra dollars? Are they...

    Driver or Passenger side awning

    I just pulled the trigger and ordered an ARB 2500 for my 03 suburban. What are the pros and cons of mounting to either side. The only con I have with the pax side is the exhaust is on that side and I'm afraid that if I idle the truck to charge the batteries or for HVAC that fumes will...

    Auto Start?

    In my career as a trucker I've driven several dogs that would not only cut off circuits as battery level rack a certain voltage but also some that would crank up to charge the batteries as a certain voltage. I planning on adding a remote starter to my 03 suburban. Is there any reason that...

    Sunroof fan... Brainstorming

    I have a 03 suburban Z71 with factory sunroof. That giant hole looks like a great place for an exhaust fan to use while parked and sleeping. I thinking something mounted in a cover that uses magnets to hold it to the roof maybe? Something that would keep rain out? I don't know... I have a...

    Awning fabric question

    Hey all. I'm on the market for an awning and have a question for those that know. How much shade does your awning give you? It seems a silly question but here's where I'm coming from. I've had Ezups that use such a thin translucent material that they're virtually no help in the midday sun...

    GMT800 2500 axle swap in 1500?

    I've seen on here somewhere that someone has swapped 2500 axles into a 1500 Suburban. My search function **** is weak and I can't find the thread. I have a rear coil sprung 2003 Burb and am trying to figure out what rear axles are a direct swap. I know the front diff needs massaging to fit and...

    BAD AIM 2003 Z71 Suburban

    Hi all. I just picked up a white 2003 Z71 Burb and have decided it's going to replace both my XJ and my 96 Suburban for camping and daily driver duties. The name BAD AIM comes from my license plate. Not only do I think these white Z71s look like Imperial stormtroopers but I'm also a bit of a...

    Z71 scene lights?

    Hi all Just bought an '03 Z71(ls trim) Suburban. I love this truck! If any of you have ever been around ambulances fire trucks and even police cars you've seen they have side mounted "scene lights." These things are handy. When I was an OTR owner operator I had them mounted on my headache...

    Filson alternatives?

    I love Filson. I don't love Filson prices. Are there any brands of comparable quality on similar clothing that are more value priced? Or, am I relegated to finding my field jacket on ebay? Thanks in advance...
