  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Lifepo4 batteries?

    Im building mine to be modular so I can more easily move things around. I’m putting the cells themselves in one of the autozone battery boxes that has some 12v ports, USB ports and a quick reference charge read-out. I was inspired by the small footprint of the Bluetti EB70 my Son gifted me...

    Turning a utility bed into a space ship!

    Nice! Are you going to pull two trailers at once or is that last image just for scale and concept? You are quite handy with your CAD program!

    Darn Kids!

    He’s a good kid for sure! As my Dad used to say, “With some Love, Luck and occasionally a size 9 strategically applied, they tend to evolve into decent humans”

    DIY 5kw diesel heater in a case.

    I like this set up as well! Lots of room for storage of accessories, plus the box has a built in dolly, so a Solar generator or another storage case or two could be stacked for being moved around the camp site, etc. Nicely done! Gives me ideas!

    Turning a utility bed into a space ship!

    This set of images, especially with the tow vehicle, really solidifies the visual. Given that, I assume your overall height is rendered to compliment the tow vehicle primarily for the purposes of cutting down on wind-shear? Might I suggest adjusting it to be slightly taller? I've owned a...

    Never been done before! Legs on a Pelican 1650 case.

    Lots of nice fab work. I see you said you welded in bolts on the feet, did you make them adjustable for leveling? Maybe I missed that part.

    What do you use as a battery tender when parked for long periods?

    I bought one of these and wired an extension cord to plug into an a/c outlet and wired in a 12v dc outlet. I did it for my diesel heater to test/run when in my garage. (note- those heaters really need a battery between them and an a/c outlet in case the power goes out. You won't burn up the...

    Never been done before! Legs on a Pelican 1650 case.

    DIY shower

    Have you made any decisions? Is it strictly for use as a road-shower style set up or will it serve other purposes? Ex- Shower, Dishes, Hot Water for cooking, coffee, etc.? The reason I ask is because when considering these questions for myself, I got hung up on the quality/durability/cost of...

    Call me crazy....A new indoor heater concept

    Yes, they will, but there is a potential to damage the fuel pump as it is lubricated by the fuel. Most folks will do a 50/50 or even 70/30 mix of kero/diesel to ensure the pump doesn't seize up. Based on what I'm getting from the "gurus" on the F/B CDH forums...

    Diesel heater

    These are sure getting a lot of attention, especially since the clones have come out at such a great price point... How did you mount yours? Looks like it's got an "L" bracket of some sort off your roof rack? I dig it! Did you get the 2kw or 5kw? I may have missed that part...

    DIY 5kw diesel heater in a case.

    Looks clean! Snap a few pics of what you did on the outside: vents, exhaust, wiring, controller. I am planning my own build and have no shame "borrowing" other folk's great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
