Hi, make sure what ever you do it doesn't overload the roof/rack mounts weight limits.

Wayne, I think you will be fine in the desert, it can be very cold and windy or warm and sometimes wet and snowy. PS; there are some forum/websites you can monitor of the area; https://forum.salinepreservation.org/latest http://www.deathvalley.com/dvtalkforum/index.php/forum...

grubworm; "the price of the jackery is high, but if i was given one or even got one at half price, i would definitely use the hell out of it" says it all, doesn't it?

Yes you do need to have the battery grounded, otherwise there is not a circuit for the electrickery. Yes, the say, rear lights, do not need to be ground wired directly to the battery, the body and frame do that.

Well done, man! If I could add 1 change and it's minor, on the last diagram a ground coming off the battery.

jiggler hose works a treat!

I have 2 max trax and 2 PAP, mounted 2 on each side. I got lucky and found them both about a month apart on my local Craigslist. $50 for each set! See my threads on how I mounted them; https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/i-redid-the-mount-for-my-marston-mat-now-it-folds-down.40048/...

My first car was a 64 Land Rover, I have an addiction......

O boy, lots to stop and see, I road my bicycle down from Astoria in 01. Stop and see; Ft Ross, the church at Sea Ranch, Darlington plants in Oregon? walk the bridge at Noyo Harbor, Breakfast at Samoa Cookhouse. Ah some of those are on Hwy 1 not 101, my bad. With covid I don't know what...

OK, MY opinion; The best solution for powering camp is to NOT take all that electrical stuff.

Marina, Welcome to the campfire! Since you've been car camping you probably know most of the needs stuff and it will just become picking the right gear for you. So much on the vehicle choice depends on how you like to camp and where you like to go. How far in the Outback do you want to go...

How about drilling a hole lower and bolting a piece of angle iron to it, with a hole for the strap mount?

Maybe I said it wrong, they are building the fire in the wok and then cooking over it.

I've been binging Kung-Fu movies on YT. I noticed that they use woks for the fire pit when cooking in the home courtyards. Fill it with wood and fire it up!

Looks good Jim, Have you thought about a 360° hitch?

So according to your fuel numbers you are going to save around $700? How much are 5 tires (rims), a lift kit(labor), roof rack, comfort? If it is just the challenge go for it, but I think it is a false economy move.

I agree very simple. I'd like to see the bottom hinge up out of the way when not holding a bottle. With the one I made I use a bolt to hold the top ring so no straps or hose clamps to keep track of. My base is bolted on and doesn't stick out too far when MT. Gotta think outside the box...

Does that lock the tank on somehow? For $95 I like mine better.......
