  • 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.

    What do fridge owners do in bear country?

    This is another good reason to not have a pickup with exposed bed, rack and rooftop tent. I like the shell much better like an Alu-Cab, for security and this sort of thing.

    adaptor for JetBoil halfgen from propane tank to match Coleman grill

    This guide is great, downloaded it, thx. However, this clearly explains why Dan Grec from The Road Chose Me, is so against using propane for international travel. He says refilling and acquisition and hookup is terrible going through African countries, each has it's own propane valves and you...

    Portable power station to power trailer systems??

    Good ones do 30A dc. Most do 10 to 15A though. Here, read my thread on good power starions, the ones I pick have the best dc output. https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/good-solar-gen-power-stations-for-dc-and-light-ac-truck-campers.242227/

    Resolved Poi’s suggestion

    "Overload map"... just provide a filter for icons, like a list of checkboxes. Like ioverlaner has. Want to see camp spots? Click tent box. Want to see grocery also, check the cart box. Basic map display interface.

    12 volt lunch box oven - Recipies and how do you like it or not?

    Nomad, many of the Australian overlander youtubers use them. Ronny Dahl had a few meals cooked in one. Lot of truckers use them, they sell them at all the truck stops. You could google trucker forums and find more info.

    Stuck in snow Cloudcroft NM

    The OP posted elsewhere that he was out now. Unfortunately, he didn't post to the thread where he said he was stuck, so I am reporting it.

    12V Power Box Review (ports/distribution)

    No idea what your 2 word question means. Since I said supply watts above, I'll reiterate that. Many times ports you purchase do not actually supply the watts they are rated for. Due to small internal wires, weak connections, whatever. Car cigarette ports especially, they are a 12-14V device...

    12V Power Box Review (ports/distribution)

    I bought this 12v power box with 11 ports, tested the ports and did a review. This might be a good all in one dc port solution for folks that want to just hook up an inexpensive 12v LiFePO4 lithium battery and run all their dc camper stuff. Plenty of ports for fan, lights, heater, blanket...

    Truck topper

    An ARE or Leer is $3000, then when you add a decent window about $3400. Then you have a camper shell, which like everyone else, you will hate and sell cheap in a few years. You can't get to anything, can't stand up, etc. Do your Dad a favor and point him to a popup or wedge truck camper...

    Video of wire sizing for 2nd battery alternator charging

    4awg is even better, and for a 20ft run, 40ft circuit, the right choice, nice! Good idea on video, fuse sizing is easy to mess up. In meantime, here is a general ruleset: 1. Size the wire to be able to carry the max possible amps your load could demand continuously. 2. Put a fuse or circuit...

    Video of wire sizing for 2nd battery alternator charging

    People get confused on picking the right size wires to feed a camping house battery from an alternator dc dc charger. Things like total circuit length, voltage drop, the right DC ampacity charts, etc. So I made a quick video for a Tacoma on finding the right wire size.

    Be careful with recovery

    Indeed, but this video is a good example of ignoring multiple warnings and issues until catastrophe. Also Wow... worst presentation ever. 2 min of content crammed into 48 min! Not attacking him, again kudos for speaking up , but Dude needs to edit it and stop trying to make excuses for 48...

    Resolved We need a Solar and Electrical sub-forum!

    Lol, well, I just searched again and found that one. I can see whybI missed it, I never would have expected to find electrical under "Overland Q&A". I looked in General and Gear apparently. Will give it a look thx

    Resolved We need a Solar and Electrical sub-forum!

    A critical area for overlanders is the power systems including solar, power stations, batteries, inverters, etc. Currently there is no forum for this, people just post stuff in their build threads or General Overland. It would improve these forums to have a Solar/Electrical sub-forum.
