    Road Shower 2 Five-Gallon Pressurized Solar Shower Review

    That's still pressure from a pump. Glad it works for you as I doubt the water fountain pump puts out the water pressure spec'd by the tankless water heater, but hey if it works to your satisfaction that's all that matters. I've camped with a couple folks using the tankless water heaters and...

    iKamper Skycamp and Annex Review with Photos

    Thanks for the info! I really like the new features added to the 2.0 version so I'm back to considering it again. The quick setup and take down is high on my list, with how it handles wind a close second.

    It should also be pointed out that the individual driving the 4Runner that mis-judged the turn did not survive.

    iKamper Skycamp and Annex Review with Photos

    I'm curious how the IKamper does noise-wise in the desert winds so frequent in SoCal deserts? I'm figuring it's somewhere in between a classic RTT and a hardshell like a Jame Baroud.

    How do you pressurize the water for your tankless water heater?

    Just providing some info, wasn't meant to sway one way or the other. [emoji106]

    Here’s something new!

    According to a post on Instagram, Clay from XOverland had some input into the Overlander and they will be using it on their next adventure and doing a review soon.

    Overland Trailers

    I saw these at Expo this year, and really liked them. They aren't cheap but they do appear to be very well made and they don't require a huge down payment or have long lead times. It's one of those trailers that keeps cycling back through my mind.

    Here’s something new!

    As much as I enjoy the various map options in Gaia, you definitely need to know where you are headed prior to your departure. Map downloading with Gaia is painfully slow even with fast internet and a good tablet. I found myself in exactly the situation you describe after ExpoWest where I ended...

    US West OVERLAND EXPO WEST 2019, 3RD ANNUAL CONVOY 40

    Hey Dom, we're heading out earlier in the week this year, but we'll see you round the campfire for sure!

    HRO Yaesu Sale

    Here's my setup, although apologies for not the best pic. I bolted the ham chassis to the bottom of the seat which keeps it up out of the way. Head unit is on a 67 Designs JK mount, next to the tablet on the same. Inreach SE is behind the tablet on a JeepUniq mount, you can see the yellow...

    Nice! I may do something similar. There is not a ton of real estate in the JK that isn't being used so I may just hide the extension away behind the dash.

    HRO Yaesu Sale

    I didn't need to extend the control head cable in my Jeep with the unit under the passenger seat and the control head mounted in the center of the dash. I do agree the Mic cable is too short and will be ordering an extension for it. I will also be ordering the speaker as the Jeep is a bit...

    HRO Yaesu Sale

    I've been gathering a few bits to setup my FTM400. I decided to switch from a Vector Offroad dock and ram mounts in the JK to the 67Designs mounting system. I ordered a Lido mount for the FTM which I'm going to combine with a Ram Plastic Socket Cradle connector to simplify things a bit and...

    Overland Expo West 2019

    Sounds like a plan! We were trying to camp in a group with folks we convoyed in with from LA and that went out the window pretty quickly as we all got split up in the line. The year before was so much easier, show up anytime after noon on Thursday and drive right into the camp and check in...

    Overland Expo West 2019

    Wise words all! I'm hoping the check in for Weekend Pass with Camping will be better this year with the new event owners, that was a good hour and half of crawling along in the line to get into the dispersed camping and then it was a bit of a free for all finding spots. We are thinking about...

    Overland Expo West 2019

    Typically if you want to do the classes you would go with the Experience package which usually sells out before the event. As mentioned previously, it's under new management so not sure what changes are in store for this year. It looks like the Experience package (vehicle) is sold out and in...

    HRO Yaesu Sale

    The latest update from HRO is "Waiting on Yaesu", which frankly, isn't much of an update. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't getting impatient. I do find it a bit odd that they charged my credit card when I ordered and not when it ships but maybe that's just me.

    HRO Yaesu Sale

    Agreed! River crossings like the one in my avatar are not frequent out here (and even that one had no water intrusion), and the mounting plate is still a couple inches above the floor so I'm probably going to risk it. I'll have to see once the radio arrives if there's anywhere else I can stash...
