    at a high level, i have the following victron components that communicate together via bluetooth - a 30a MPPT solar charger - a DC-DC charger for charging from the alternator while driving - an AC-DC charger for charging from shore power - a smartshunt which estimates how much juice i have left...

    Imagine trailvan spring cleaning

    Updated the electric in early summer. And by upgrade I mean completely replaced everything. Here’s the new schematic I laminated and pasted to my door. And this is what 3 new victron chargers look like with custom panel and mostly bluesea switches and bus bars. There are two mains: one...

    Onboard air compressor system

    not tacoma specific, as mine is in an AEV Prospector, but i had my viair dual compressor + tank mounted to some sheet metal, along with the gauges, fuses, regulators and an anderson connector. it simply sits in the bed and is easily removed if i need to put something else in the bed OR, if i...

    widowmakers

    not sure how old this pic is, but i just saw it today. apparently, camping next to dead trees can cause a dramatic reduction in ground clearance. on the positive side, looks like the snorkel is salvageable and maybe a solar panel.

    almost undefeatable fire stater

    I realize this is an old thread but I think the idea of most “fire starter” is something you can catch with just a spark. Something you would use if you were nursing a tiny ember from a wood bow. Or at least a ferro rod or flint. will corn chips light with just a spark? Or do you use a...

    trailers navigating technical terrain photo thread

    trailers navigating technical terrain photo thread

    I'd like to see pics of your trailers navigating challenging terrain. i've noticed lots of "traditional" pics showing off but they're almost never towing. if there's another thread like this, please link to it.

    Overlanding+Ham=Resurgence?

    just a safety tip... if you're going to be driving and operating the radio at same time, keep the remote head up high. you should keep your focus on the road, but if you're going to look at your radio, at least keep it where you can see the road in your peripheral vision. if you mount it...

    COVID and BLM camping.

    if you don't have to travel, because it's near your house, and you won't see anyone else AND you being out there won't cause everyone else to do it (like the guy going to the beach) and you're not at any more risk than you'd be at your house, of having to call first responders, a tow truck, etc...
