    thread keeps sending emails that there is new content

    This thread keeps sending me emails for updated content. Like several in a minute. I think there's something funny going on. What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy? Welcome to the Cult of Trailer! This will be my 6th year owning a teardrop and I love my ready-made house on wheels...

    I-overlander app

    If this is truly swamp then google maps may be the misleading one. Just wanted to give you an idea of how each mapping software displays the same general area. Basic idea is that only Google maps shows a large body of water. Thought the comparison might be useful if you've not seen all 3...

    I-overlander app

    I've been thinking about your dilemma about the camp site by the lake. Care to share what the location was and camp site name? I'm interested to see how for this example iOverlander compares data to what GAIA and OnX have. I haven't had issues with iOverlander but now am thinking about how...

    I-overlander app

    I simply use it to find potential sites and then copy the GPS coordinates into GAIA or OnX. If I like the location I'm going to need to put it into one of those apps anyway. I don't find the map to be an issue for my purposes.

    How much power/AH does your diesel heater use in 8hrs?

    I ran a test one night with my 100Ah battery. It started at 89% at 10p and was at 85% at 7a. Temp outside started at 42 and got down to 37. 4% battery amount to ~4Ah. At 12.8v that's 51w. My heater is an Hcalory SS2.

    Question: what to do if broken down and no cell service?

    You can use Zoleo to send texts to people you know. Your texts will provide your exact location and they can help coordinate service. Check with your contacts in advance to make sure they're willing to help and aren't secretly hoping to never see you again, LOL.

    Looking for recommendations for new tires.

    General Grabber X3's for me and still going at 60K. This tire is run by Expedition Overland which travels the world and by Epic Family Road Trip as well. I have no complaints.

    Overlanding/Camping Firearm preference

    SIG P220 10mm Considering also my Marlin 30-30 but it needs some reliability work done first.

    Do you "pack light" or heavy?

    I pack heavy. I have that may need/what if mentality. I'd kick myself endlessly if I left something behind that I could have brought and needed it. If in a group it's a little less an issue.
