    I built my drawer system for less than $350

    I thought about buying a "decked" system and YES THEY LOOK USEFUL, BUT... I liked the decked system but I also like to store my spare tire/wheel in my truck bed, and If I got the decked it would not fit under my tonno cover if I got the decked system. So I built my own and then did a little...

    Looking at buying a 2000watt generator for my micro camper A/C unit

    I am new to this generator/charging battery thing, so will any inverter generator charge a battery via cable? Do I need special cable? I am looking at the $500 range not the Honda $1000 yet.

    My DIY camp commode

    I showcase a DIY camp commode. Today I wanted to build a camp shower/restroom area but the steel supplier was closed to the public due to COVID. So I decided to build a camp commode with a full size, standard house lid. It is heavier than most "portable" toilets but it is also much, much...

    Got my micro camper.

    Well I got my micro camper in early this morning. I call it Grotto, A grotto is a cave or a cavern. Since it is pretty much just a rolling place to sleep I felt it might be appropriate. Let the modding begin.

    Micro camper lighting

    I am wondering how you guys did the lighting on your micro camper, both interior and exterior. I was planning on adding some 12v lights that ran off my (planned) AGM battery system. but I want to get ideas from you guys as to the lighting. I will be picking up my camper at the end of the week...

Well the fans and or ceiling fan may run all night. The TV may...

    I did Geocaching for many years

    And I loved that it got me out of the house and about, I showed many people how to geocache and created several myself. I also, several years ago started playing another game that is similar to it that is more like scanning QR codes instead of signing the paper inside (if it was large enough)...

    I see most people are using HAM instead of CB

    I gotta figure because it has a longer range? I used CB because it was more than enough for my jeep club when we had meets. Plus if it bounces off the atmosphere correctly you can talk to the past. :grinning:

    Happy to be here

    I ordered a few days ago an Outbound Extreme trailer/camper. I can't wait to get it and customize it. I thought about buying a larger trailer such as a Casita or Scamp, but I wanted to spend more time out doors than in , so that seemed like a waste for me. Any how I am anxiously awaiting it and...
