    Inverter needs-how much

    That's a nicely setup system. Only thing I think I would add is a DC to DC charger to top up the batteries while on the move. I am looking at the Redarc 25a dc/dc charger. It has an mppt solar controller built is as well. Dual Input 25A In-vehicle DC Battery Charger

    WARN 8274 winch. Who has one, What rig do you use it on, and why do you like it over newer model?

    Not according to the Warn website. Their site says only the VR series is made in China. It says all other lines are made in Oregon. WARN Industries: Made in America Winches that Can Pull You Through

    Spare tire location

    Check out Detours of Maine. They make a few different hitch mount spare tire carriers. More reasonably priced than the Wlico if you ask me. https://detoursofmaine.com/

    Rotopax Fuel Canisters Warp

    Correct. In order to vent them I need to take them off the roof. It's a bit of a pain but it is what it is as they say. If you were to store jerry cans on their side they would need be upright in order to vent as well. I could prob just take them off the mount then tilt them and vent them...

    Rotopax Fuel Canisters Warp

    That's for an old school lawn mower style gas can. That is only designed to be stored upright. If you were to store that on it's side and open the vent you will spill fuel. Rotopax and Jerry cans can be mounted upright or horizontal. There would have to be multiple vent locations to...

    Rotopax Fuel Canisters Warp

    All plastic fuel canisters will swell with temperature fluctuations. It physics, not a real miss. Rotopax are not marketed as a self venting can. It's clearly stated in the instructions about the swelling and venting issues. My Scepter MFC's will swell as well and need vented too.

    Rotopax Fuel Canisters Warp

    You can't technically get them "legally" in the states since Scepter didn't get them CARB certified. I got a pair brand new and genuine Scepter MFC's from ebay for $160 for a pair shipped. They did not come with a spout. That was another $55 plus shipping. They are very nice cans but I...

    Dometic CFX50W Refrigerator/Freezer 4 Months OLD And Does Not Cool

    That sucks man. I bought that same fridge through Amazon back in October 2018 and mine has been running like a champ ever since. Hopefully you get it resolved and hopefully mine doesn't crap out too. Can't dometic send you out a replacement board? Not sure how handy you are but maybe it's...

    Ratchet / Sockets ...

    S&K makes a decent tool. The first set of wrenches I bought 20+ years ago is an S&K set from 8-24mm. I still have it and use it at times. I will say this though in terms of wrenches nothing and I mean nothing beats a Snap On flank drive plus. Expensive but the best wrenches on this planet...

    Is there any refund policy? I have had a death in the family and will not be able to attend. If not I understand but it doesn't hurt to ask.

    Not sure it this rig it one of us but I see it running around the NE side of Indianapolis. Look at those fender flares and no doors on a Taco, what? I like the porthole! Pretty cool rig I think.

    Batteries and solar

    Yes this will give you equal charge and discharge through the batteries. It will act as one very big 12v battery. This configuration will keep the source voltage at 12 but will add the ah capacity of all three batteries. So if the batteries are 100ah each you will have a 300ah 12v battery.

    Thanks for the heads up. Appears that is only an issue if you are approaching from the south. Thankfully I am coming from Indiana (north east) so I should be ok hopefully.

    FireStryker - a fire extinguishing product

    I picked up a Element fire extinguisher as well. Seems like the best value for an extinguisher IMHO.
