I do have a paypal account so that would be fine. Let me know if you want pics and I'll post them here in the thread. -Curtiss

Let me know what you would like pics of and I will post them here in the thread. -Curtiss

I have gone a different direction with my setup and have several items I'm putting up for sale. I'm unwilling to ship as I've been there and done that before and it's just more hassle then its worth. $125.00: 55" CVT Awning (Tan) - Used twice SOLD : 55" CVT Awning with Walls (Tan) - Used...

I believe a solar charge controller is designed to take a higher voltage like 18-24 volts from the solar panel and step it down to the 12-14 volts for battery charging. A DC to DC charger has the ability to take a lower voltage such as the 12.5 volts many vehicles step down to when the...

Definitely wait and look at the vendors who have trailers at Overland Expo West 2018 as well as wander the camping area and look at trailers there. There is such a huge variety and you really don't want to make a mistake with this purchase. In addition, talking to the actual vendors really...

I like DC to DC chargers for 2 reasons. You can get a full charge and the charging is "managed" to extend the life of the battery because they tend to be smart chargers. That being said they ain't cheap. I use a Redarc solution myself but they all basically do the same job. Considering the...

Have you thought about one of those gun magnets, like the type used under a desk? I use one of these in my center console (console vault) as a convenient way to hold mine when I can't carry. Seems like it would work well under the plastic or carpet in the cab also. Might not be great on rough...

Something I've seen on the Australian sites lately are "awning rafters". It's a telescoping curved pole you run down the middle of your awning. It requires a small bracket on the bag side and drilling a hole in the end section. I looked for something similar made here in the U.S. but as usual...

Shell, trailer and roof racks on both. This truck has only had a shell + roof rack. My previous truck had a tonneau cover which I replaced with a shell eventually. After a couple of years I added a rack on the shell. That combo worked out great until I got married and had a family. Then, I...

I also added an SAE power port to my trailer using the Zamp solar connector. I made a little SAE to 12 volt socket dongle for it so I can easily plug in any 12 volt accessory I might need. Will most likely be used for the Snomaster Fridge/Freezer I keep in the back of the truck normally. I'm...

I was told 6 to 8 weeks for a roof rack mounted toolbox (I don't have a Gobi rack but their toolbox looked like it would be perfect my use). After 12 weeks I ended up canceling the order and going a different route. -Curtiss

I've been using a Subos Ultimate Tent Lantern for a while and really like it. In fact a bought a second one recently. They make a couple of different versions. The one I like uses 2 18650's and can be charged via USB on the side of the lantern. -Curtiss

Assuming that white block in the above pic is what you're planning for your water tank I likely wouldn't muck with a drain line. I'd use a hole saw and cut and round opening in the bottom of the drawer and install a standard drain plug in the bottom of the tank. In addition, I'd make the hole...

It's an Oregon Trail'r Terradrop. I have, and continue to modify it but it was a great base to start from. -Curtiss

Looking good. We're going to have to figure out a meet up since I'm in AZ too. -Curtiss

As noted above, modding these things becomes an obsession. I just finished reconfiguring our awning and side room setup after our last longer trip. I also purchased a fairly inexpensive Bus Depot awning for our next trip. One thing we learned, when it rains everyday, all day for 7 days...

I decided on my mods based on past experience. For my current rig, leveling kit only as far as the suspension went and then only after a lot of research into the right kit. I love the look of lifted trucks and have owned a few. I'm older now, and for me, keeping the factory suspension as...

Congrats on the new trailer! I love mine! For me it's been a constant tweaking, moding, re-tweaking, and re-moding adventure. I thought I was done December last year. Then I came up with a new idea, then another, then another... It's gotten so bad I think the manufacturer of the trailer...

Being an owner of 2 Snomaster fridges (56D and the older 42L) I have to say these fridges are hard to beat. In fact, I just ordered their Traveler 42L for a new project I'm working on. My 56D may be going up for sale soon if the new traveler 42L works out the way I think it will...unless my...
