at a high level, i have the following victron components that communicate together via bluetooth - a 30a MPPT solar charger - a DC-DC charger for charging from the alternator while driving - an AC-DC charger for charging from shore power - a smartshunt which estimates how much juice i have left...

Updated the electric in early summer. And by upgrade I mean completely replaced everything. Here’s the new schematic I laminated and pasted to my door. And this is what 3 new victron chargers look like with custom panel and mostly bluesea switches and bus bars. There are two mains: one...

would this trail be easier or harder for an adv bike vs 4wd?

not tacoma specific, as mine is in an AEV Prospector, but i had my viair dual compressor + tank mounted to some sheet metal, along with the gauges, fuses, regulators and an anderson connector. it simply sits in the bed and is easily removed if i need to put something else in the bed OR, if i...

not sure how old this pic is, but i just saw it today. apparently, camping next to dead trees can cause a dramatic reduction in ground clearance. on the positive side, looks like the snorkel is salvageable and maybe a solar panel.

I realize this is an old thread but I think the idea of most “fire starter” is something you can catch with just a spark. Something you would use if you were nursing a tiny ember from a wood bow. Or at least a ferro rod or flint. will corn chips light with just a spark? Or do you use a...

I'd like to see pics of your trailers navigating challenging terrain. i've noticed lots of "traditional" pics showing off but they're almost never towing. if there's another thread like this, please link to it.

just a safety tip... if you're going to be driving and operating the radio at same time, keep the remote head up high. you should keep your focus on the road, but if you're going to look at your radio, at least keep it where you can see the road in your peripheral vision. if you mount it...

if you don't have to travel, because it's near your house, and you won't see anyone else AND you being out there won't cause everyone else to do it (like the guy going to the beach) and you're not at any more risk than you'd be at your house, of having to call first responders, a tow truck, etc...

Does a discovery sport count? it’s for sale cheap lol

How far are you looking to go? Leaving the region? Country? Continent?

so... do you carry supplies to repair your shelter? especially those with canvas RTT or pop ups, what is actually in your kit? 100mph tape? needle and thread? super glue?

I’m in Cookeville.

that's unreal. i'd be cleaning sand out of my trailer for years

Wy is the only place I remember that closes the interstate for wind lol

I'm about to put my 3rd set of R/T on. seems like a happy medium. 40k miles each on the first two sets. at like 85k miles now. super happy with them
