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.

Reaching out to solar power gurus
That is indeed encouraging. Based upon your post, I would posit you to be quite experienced and comfortable with your set up and power needs. That is what I am looking to do, sharpen my learning curve and save time, energy and money on setting up my own system. I guess I need to nail down what...- lhoffm4

Looks like some great views. Tell us about your trip, what you liked most about the area, what was your cuisine and favorite piece of kit on your trip. Any planned upgrades as a result of the trip?

Thule / Tepui Autana 3 Ruggedized: My Observations
It’s good to hear they are attempting to work with you on the issues. Given the cost of these tents. With so many people buying them, it can come down to customer service as a deciding factor to which product and manufacturer one goes with. I had an issue with my new tent, as I had purchased...- lhoffm4

Reaching out to solar power gurus
YouTube is such a great and terrible place to learn and get ideas. I’ve been watching a bunch of off grid vids on solar power set ups for homes but the power requirements seem to be vastly different for campers and overlanding. I don’t yet have a electric cooler for my set up but do have use...- lhoffm4

What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?
Funny you should ask. My best advice would be to research what’s out there, build beefier than you think you should. Why? Great question. Here is what I learned so far. My brackets are 1/16th inch thick and failed. Too much flex. The 8ft awning arms require heavier bracket steel to reduce...- lhoffm4

What are you looking for in a propane stove? I'm also a bit of a Coleman-aholic. I may know someone with a few suitcase stoves of the 425 class-two burners. I love mine. I have been known to use a propane tank with a tree that let's me run a lantern, stove and a large pot turkey fryer type...- lhoffm4

What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?
Working on fabricating a 180 degree awning and a shower/ toilet for the trailer. All DIY from scrap yard materials. Built the framework from square tube steel the hinges from some round tube steel and some c-chanel. The shower will be mounted in a gun-case. Once I finish fabricating the...- lhoffm4

Cant afford to buy, so DIY?
Oh no, I'm working. I did have about 5 months off last year while recovering from a widow-maker. Really puts life into perspective. Also gave me lots of time to plan my trailer build. Now that I am able, I'm working and executing my trailer build. I have to go a little slower these days and...- lhoffm4

Cant afford to buy, so DIY?
Greetings Programs, Is it just me or are the prices for gear sky rocketing to the point of sheer nuttery, if that is even a thing? Having been out of work due to the Plandemic, don't get me started, I have had to rethink my approach to gearing up for this latest hobby... Overlanding. YouTube...- lhoffm4
