    Datsun Truck Bed Trailer

    Man you are jammin' away here, great stuff! what about that gas door, have you thought about using that for something? Would make a sweet spot to put some power outlets, or water fill port, etc.

    RTT vs Awnings with walls

    These are Gamiviti brand, which is me. You can see more pictures on the site here: Awnings — Gamiviti Very similar materials to the ARB stuff, which I've run in the past also... I brought these in along with a few tents mainly to have on the trucks for branding purposes, but the awnings...

    Fridge install

    I suspect the juice coming out of that Goal Zero unit is better than what you'd get from the cig lighter in the cargo area.. which is definitely working to your benefit.

    Go Solar! Especially us Californians....

    Love it! I built something similar earlier this summer, albeit quite a bit simpler. I repurposed an old rolling cooler and fitted a 50w panel to the top, then mounted a charge controller and battery to the insides. Was preparing for a Lake Powell trip where we had 3 families who needed to...

    Fridge install

    Can't tell from the pic, but what wires are you using to connect the fridge? Is it the stock cigarette lighter cable, or something different? I've had issues with those cigarette cables, with Dometic's in particular, and performance improved significantly when upgrading to a more hardwired...

    Datsun Truck Bed Trailer

    Cool project! As has been mentioned before you want the front V of the frame to overlap under the other part of the frame, this will also make the attachment point to your Jeep lower. Do you know what kind of coupler you're going to use? I've done this a couple of times, and I like the...
