I can't speak to USAA, but I know Progressive offers additional coverage for aftermarket parts. You can specify the extra coverage, but no matter how much coverage you have if your vehicle is stolen or totaled you have to be able to prove your vehicle has additional parts that are less than or...

I use Victron for everything else (Solar charge controller and DC-DC charger), maybe I just need to swap the NOCO with one of those Victron units. That one specifically says that it can be used as a power supply, too! I really do love the Victron stuff, I don't think they get enough...

I could probably do that with one fridge, but the other one I can't easily access the power for. The 10A charger will definitely keep up, the issue is with the battery monitoring code. Apparently it monitors voltage drop over time vs charge time to determine if the battery is able to hold a...

Bump. I'll have these available during and after Overland Expo West!

The problem: Our trailer came with a NOCO GENPRO10x2 battery charger to keep the batteries charged via wall outlet. Works great if all I need it to do is keep the batteries charged while there's no load regular/long-term load on the batteries. Any constant or recurring load on the batteries...

Thanks for the update, @Michael! Glad to know it's a known issue and folks are working on it, happy to deal with a short-term annoyance for a better long-term experience.

Of course, I post this and it starts responding better.

Accessing the forums or even the main OB website has been very slow for the past few days. Using browser tools, the delay is waiting for a response from the web server, not sure if this is an issue with the web firewall service or the webserver hosting the site itself. See screenshot, browser...

Has anyone here measured power consumption? I've read that it tends to settle around 110w after an initial 175w or so when powered on and syncing. That would be my next concern, having enough juice to actually work remotely for multiple days. I have a portable 120w solar panel, but I think in...

That's awesome to hear! I'm glad Starlink isn't keeping roaming disabled currently, that was the biggest issue we were worried about and it sounds like it's not an issue anymore. Hopefully it stays that way!

Good to know. I personally have no need for in-motion use of Starlink but I would love to get ideas for a permanent, folding mount that I could mount to the trailer's roof rack. Not a deal breaker since it seems to be pretty easy to just plop on the ground with the ground mount. My wife and I...

As with all satellite uplinks/downlinks there's no simple answer to that question other than "it depends." :D It depends on the severity of the storm, the density/depth of the storm clouds, the position of the satellites in relation to the storm and your dish, etc. Since the dish is able to...

I'm not sure why you would cover the "dish" itself due to weather. From Starlink's website...

Need to know year or 1st or 2nd gen Colorado. Assuming 2nd gen (2015+) but you know what they say about assuming. :)

Something to keep in mind is that, currently, Starlink is not really a viable option for overlanding/mobile use outside of the Starlink zone you're in. By default, roaming is disabled which means as soon as you leave your zone you have no service regardless of the fact that there is signal...

Services/Devices like the Garmin inReach and Zoleo satellite communicators are better than nothing for sure, and a lot of folks have been saved by them, but just keep in mind that the SOS functionality doesn't go directly to emergency responders. Those SOS requests get routed through the...

If you're accessing the forums on a PC and have an adblock running then you won't see the Amazon links that are posted.

Should be a 2023 model which they haven't fully revealed or launched yet. Probably sometime this summer or closer to fall. EDIT: Yup, on GMC's site for the Canyon AT4X it says "GMC will reveal the Canyon AT4X in the Summer of 2022."

Not sure why the attitude, I'm pro-ICECO (you did read my previous posts in this thread, right?) and was just clarifying the previous statement made about the CFX3 fridges not using the Danfoss/SECOP compressors as it appeared that you were trying to dispute what was said but missed the mark due...

CFX3 fridges use the VMSO3 compressor which was developed and built in-house by Dometic. The non-CFX3 fridges did/do use the Danfoss/SECOP compressors.
