    Portable A/C unit

    If all pans out well and the unit is a keeper, I think the power I have onboard is sufficient for a few hours each night. I have 3-100ah lithium batteries with a dc-dc 50 amp charge controller, plus 200 watts of solar. 2 days would be the most time I will be sitting still, so power isn’t my...

    Ribeye & Pemmican

    Getting steaks ready for vacuum sealing and I get the pick of the litter for the next trip! With 3.5lbs of fatty meat left over, I rendered it down for some cooking oil and some pemmican treats for my pup! He loves me!! 3 jars of oil in total.

    Portable A/C unit

    Agreed on the max power issue. Im still holding out the hope in this $250 unit… in regards to your last comment about being comfortable, I am a Patreon of Dan Grec from “the road chose me,” and from a man who solo’d around Africa, he said he wouldn’t bother with a/c. Extra weight, power, need...

    Portable A/C unit

    For those that cares: Email response received from Outequippro.com I referenced in this post. Below is the breakdown of the approximate power consumption in watts for the 12V version of the unit, based on the current draw in each mode: Turbo Mode: 58A × 12V = 696W Eco Mode: 29A × 12V = 348W...

    Portable A/C unit

    I have been sitting here all afternoon thinking about it and you are right. I will test again tomorrow. I am repairing a mini split system right now and now that I think about it, your comment makes sense. Not sure why I didn’t see this at the time. Maybe household 6 stressors had my mind...

    Portable A/C unit

    I really wanted this to work! I even started planning how I would permanently vent it outside and ordered some of the parts. BUT, the initial test results are completely and utterly pitiful. I guess you get what you pay for! My expectation management bar was set very low and this unit didn't...

    Portable A/C unit

    yes the front top is the out and the bottom is in. The rear also has a dual cover option. If you zoom in on pic#3 you can see the white styrofoam output section and the coil in the bottom.

The portable A/C purchase is complete and arrived today. Unboxing it, I was surprised as the weight as I thought it...

    F350 CCSB

    Diesel Heater spark arrester: After reading about fires, how to avoid them, then seeing that things like this are mandatory out west, I decided to make a spark arrester for my diesel heater exhaust! Just another thing to add to the tool kit!!

    F350 CCSB

    You know you’re bored when you take a YouTube short and create a tool!!! Not sure what I think about this idea yet but it's either tossing a rock or using a tool??? Maybe I am just bored?? But if getting that pesky “garbage” rope over a tree branch could be easier, why not? Part 1 complete. Now...

    F350 CCSB

    Well, I haven't posted on this page in a while so I guess I can get it updated. Gasland tankless Hot water heater journey. So I found out that I broke it! Too many volts burned up the ignition unit. Reading is fundamental. Max volts is 3, I connected 12vDC. oops! Anyways, in my research, all...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Figured I needed this in my tool box for the diesel heater exhaust! Home made spark arrester! Used 2 deep well sockets to form it and then rounded the edges! Interesting bonus is that the base expands due to the folds!

    Upgraded to a new rig a couple months ago.

    I wrestled with similar decisions. I don’t have the need for using the bed for utility but I did make my system modular so it can be removed in a day. 6 sections with quick disconnects and the cap! I almost went with building something like the decked system but it evolved in my 10 month build...
