Hi Keith, Hope you have a good trip and you enjoy your stay in the US. Texas is a big state and unfortunately most of it is privately owned. There a some parks you can go to and maybe do some overlanding in. One I am thinking of is Palo Duro Canyon State Park, it’s about a 6 hour drive from...

Awesome! Thanks for the reply.

Not sure if this is the place to ask but here it goes. Do diesel heaters have an altitude or elevation limit? In other words, will they not work after certain elevation? Thanks

Really really interesting! I would like to know a little more please. Does it have a stop or are you just careful when you pull the slide out? What channel did you use for the bottom slide? Do you have to lift the tray a little when you are pulling it?

How does everyone power their equipment? Generator, solar, auxiliary battery? I am getting started in this hobby and I'm interested to see how people power up. Looks kind of complicated and expensive to have shore power, solar power, etc. All I have for now is a fridge/freezer and Ill probably...

As for not wanting to share places, well thats part of the Overlanding we all want to go and see beautiful places too but don't forget that part of the fun is going out, seeking and "discovering it". I hunt and fish, so I understand (or maybe I'm just used to it) people not wanting to share...

All the other stuff in this thread about what people spend? Who cares? It's not your money. Worry about your own wallet. Personally, I don't spend much. My rig has been the same since 2010 (engine notwithstanding *cough*), but that doesn't mean I begrudge the guy who decides to spend 80 grand...

BcYeti2503, thanks for the advice (I appreciate it). Its good to hear that you can get that amount of meals for a week. I usually do just that, I usually put my drinks in a smaller ice chest. For elk hunts I usually take pre-cooked meals so all we have to do is just heat the food up, a lil less...

Having no experience and not having seen one in person, I went with the Dometic CFX 65. Now that I have it I'm second guessing my decision, not sure but maybe I should have gone with the 75. Honestly I haven't used it, I just took it out of the box and plugged in to make sure it works. I'm glad...

I am torn between the iKamper 2.0 and the Alu-Cab RTT. What I like about the iKamper (4) is the size. My wife, my daughter and I could all sleep in there. The annex is also a must for me and the way the iKamper annex attaches and works appears to be awesome. What I don't like is the plastic top...

Thanks to all that replied. Your input has helped me to get some insight for what I need. I greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks Capt. Chaos!

Yes, Pre-made meals ready to heat up are time savers! I thought the fridges can be both a fridge and a freezer?

Thank Captain Chaos! I appreciate the input. Like I said, I am new to this and I have a lot to learn. My vehicle is a Tacoma 4x4 TRD Dual cab long bed, with a canopy camper. I plan on running it with my truck battery for a short time until I get solar panel or 2. On our trips it might be my...

How big is big enough? Single or Dual zone? Just getting into this overlanding thing and I was wondering what size would be a good size for a vehicle fridge. I know that there are different factors that are going to determine the size I need but just from your own experience what has worked...

Reviving an old thread. I use the Waka Waka solar light (Waka Waka means light in Swahili). It is rechargeable and it can be recharged with the sun or your wall outlet, it is about the same size as a smart phone and the charge lasts a very long time. It has 4 brightness settings. One day of...

I bought my Aluminum folding directors style chair at Harbor Freight for $19.99 (with coupon, I think they are $21.99 now). They weigh about 2lbs ea and have a folding table on 1 side and pouchs on the other. They are made with a green material and aluminum.

I have and recommend the 10x10 EZ-Up that is sold at Sam's Club. They are $199 but they can take a beating. I have had 2, (the first one I loaned out and never got it back from my bro-in-law) and I have seen them get picked up and slammed down by the wind and still be in one piece. I have seen...

Thanks for the write-up, I didn't know about this RTT. It looks very similar to the Alu-Cab rtt. I like the Alu-Cab, but a couple of things have held me back from going ahead and getting one. One was the size, I was wanting to get something a little wider and something with an annex. Yours...

Niiiice! Congrats on the good work. What water tank is that & where did you get it? Thanks
