The ARB awning rooms are simply AWESOME! You can not beat them, especially for the price! I've had mine for a few years and would never get rid of it. And the setup and takedown is a piece of cake. I've used my Buddy heater in mine a few times as well, and it definitely does get warm and cozy.

victron energy pure sine 300 w inverter, and watthounde 100 w solar panel case to top up the auxiliary battery.
If stay 2 days in a camp, my 100 AH deep cycle does not manage to power the fridge. ( it is a snomaster 35l , not good draws to much power for what it is.. )

The Kindling Cracker, should be here tomorrow! Watch the video, going to make splitting smaller pieces of firewood a breeze!

Amazon is selling a -17 degree mummy sleeping bag (Comeman) for $30, much nicer than the 30 year old bag I did use.

Oh, that's tempting. Though I already have a 0°, and would probably want to bump down to a - 30° bag.

Bought this to assist with the Kindling Cracker after I couldn't find a similar mallet/axe anywhere around town!

I ordered a few things the other day... I've got a GasOne gs3400p dual fuel single burner stove with a wind screen, a Guide Gear -15 sleeping bag and a Gazelle T3 on the way. Should be here Monday. I think the bag is due to be here Wed or Thurs.

Bought a GoPower Rechargeable Waterproof Flameless Lighter & LED Flashlight. Stumbled across it at Walmart; been looking on and off since Expo East where I saw a vendor using a similar one. This ARC lighter has the bonus of the built in flashlight. It is USB rechargeable so it can pretty much stay in the car/truck. Also comes with a neck lanyard so your camping buddies can't run off with it. Going to have to go back and pick up a couple for each vehicle; not a bad tool for only $15.00.

Picked up a Biolite Firepit over the holidays on sale. Just unboxed it today. Can't wait to use it now that it's warming up weather-wise.

I have a Gazelle T3 and a sleeping pad in the Amazon Cart, will be ordering both when I get home today! Even though I have a RTT I wanted a fast deploying sturdy ground tent too. There are campgrounds out there that have tent sites that have tent pads where I can't deploy my RTT, I'll use the Gazelle for those instances and when I plan to camp but do a lot of trail driving. My guess is my boys will use it too sometimes rather than be up in the RTT tent with me, apparently I snore too loud for them!

Bought two more of the GoPower Rechargeable Waterproof Flameless Lighter & LED Flashlight; liked the first one so much I figured it would be nice to have a couple extra just in case. Can never have too many flashlights or means of making fire. Also picked up another fire extinguisher for the truck; heard stories about only having one not being enough. It's a big truck; I figure it is good for the extra weight.
