    US Northwest Silver Lake 2nd Annual Rally

    Did you miss the first trip up to Silver Lake? Well don't worry, we're doing it again! We're not leaving Spokane until Friday evening 8/23 and will plan on getting to the trailhead around 8pm make our way up to the lake. I set the really point for the trailhead, but if you want to caravan out...

    Lake Camping with Rig locations?

    Here's a good list: Best Lake Camping in Washington for public spots. I know a few hidden gems, but they're mostly in Northern Idaho or Western Montana and a bit more difficult to get to.

    Who camps with kids?

    I take my son as often as possible, he just turned 11. He's not a big fan of heights and sometimes the higher altitudes bother his ears, but otherwise I hand him the "nice camera" and make him be the photographer. That keeps him occupied and I get to look through the pics and see his...

    Any way to send GPS coordinates when you have no Cell service?

    You'd be speaking your coords to whoever is on the channel you're on. So yes, the recipients would also need a HAM radio. I think inReach type devices are the only thing that'll let you send a text message to phones via satellite.

    Any way to send GPS coordinates when you have no Cell service?

    Smoke signal, HAM, Satellite. Pretty much your choices. There are services like inReach that let you send texts via satellite for a fee. https://explore.garmin.com/en-US/inreach/

    This is AWESOME!!!

    I think it's an issue with the forum. Can someone post a link to youtube without the https:// part or even just the video id, so we can go to youtube and watch it. I'm dying to know what ya'll are talking about.

    New Fridge, got it under $275

    I think the knock-offs are definitely ripping people off. Lots of people say "they're probably made in the same factory in China", which may be true, but I'd be willing to bet the lower end models are using cheaper components. Also, when I complained on Amazon, the seller changed the reason for...

    New Fridge, got it under $275

    I had the same fridge from Amazon. Mine died after a couple months, but my compressor died :-/ error E3 I also got a refund quickly. I wish mine was a simple loose wire.

    Spokane - Tinker Time!

    Yeah, I've got it all hooked up. I'm running a 100W Renogy panel flat on my rack and i've got my house battery linked with my starting battery so It charges on the go. I think with just the panel alone and staying in place I'd probably get 3-4 days on the house battery. Its just powering my...

    12 Volt fridge/battery issues

    No. I built a slide out / box that protects it from dust and water. It's also in the bed of my truck under my RTT so it stays shaded.

    12 Volt fridge/battery issues

    My Dometic fridge pulls about 2.3 amp hours, per hour (according to tests from others). I forget what the AmpH capacity is on my house battery, I'll see If I can find it. Looking at my solar controller I'm currently getting 4A from my panel, today it's super cloudy out.

    12 Volt fridge/battery issues

    I've run a dual battery setup with a 100W Renogy panel. I'm running my fridge 24x7 and park in a garage. I've yet to see my house battery drop below 12.6V with fridge on the highest/most intensive setting. With just the AGM house battery and solar, I'd probably get about 3-4 days depending on...

    Power for ARB Fridge

    It really depends on your charge controller. Some don't care if they match while others do.
