I'd love to make one of your guys trips, but you gotta come farther south! Which section of the BDR are you running? Also, I maybe could make the lost river trip.

I carry a flat pack wood fire pit. This is my preferred method, but of course, sometimes, there are burn bans. In those instances, we use an ammo can propane firepit that I made.

Welcome, fellow Nissan fan! I also own a D40 Frontier (2013), and an Xterra (2003). My wife also has a 2002.

I have a light weight tarp with poles, an arb 6.5 foot straight awning and room attachment, and a 270 awning. I've not used the 270 yet, but it'll be amazing when I camp in the rain with the trailer. My arb with the awning room is awesome. We've used it many times to protect from wind, bugs...

Built a rack for my fridge box on the trailer, and mounted a dewalt box I had laying around up there for some weatherproof storage. I also installed a port on the side of the trailer so that I can use the diesel heater without putting the ducting to the window.

100% truth right here. Although, in my case, I have r7 insulation (average) in my trailer, 280Ah, 400w solar charging, and 20A (soon to be 30A) dc-dc charging. My main fuel tank is a 1 gallon rotopax style, and I have an additional 2 gallons to refill that. But my setup isn't what most people use.

You usually need to replace all the control parts together to make sure they work. https://a.co/d/clXjtyr I initially tried replacing the board in one of my 2k heaters with a slightly different model number, and it didn't work. So all the parts need to be designed to work together.

You should be able to upgrade the control board and controller to match the features of newer models. Both heaters I have are 2k models. Both have a built in thermostat mode, and I may test it out on my next trip. I have parts coming today to start working on a heater inlet port for the side...

There are two ways to add thermostat style control to heaters that don't have it (easily, that is). One method I looked into as a controller that intercept and replaces the remote. https://bureck.company.site/products/CD-Thermostat-With-Battery-p571172945 The second is an aftermarket...

I finally managed to get my tank sensor working. I used a drop in pressure based sensor, that reads out current, wired into a conversion board that sends anywhere from 1-5v to the simarine system. I've not tested it on a trip yet, but we have one coming up in a few weeks, and I'm excited to see...

Heater has been working wonderfully over the winter. I went out black Friday, and took the family out for an overnight trip a few weeks ago. We stayed very warm and cozy overnight. The water tank heating pads aren't working as well as I had hoped. I had to add a heating pad to the pump, but it...

I run a 2k vevor for my 5x8 square drop. Camped in single digits, and that thing will cook you out of the trailer. No issues with CO so far, but the heater, and exhaust are outside the trailer, with the heat being ducted into the trailer.

These things happen George! I honestly had missed that it was posted for today, and just assumed that it was yesterday. If it had been today, I could have gone!

I've more or less finalized a design for a custom frame that solves several key issues. The first being able to accommodate a water tank. I've gone with an 11 gallon tank to maximize ground clearance. This tank is less than 5 inches deep. The second is that it accommodates both a straight axle...

So, I've read the same thing. I still have two of them. One is still going strong after 3 years, and the other is going strong after a year. I realize I may be an outlier here. Personally, I've had great luck with renogy products so far.
