Magical vacuum sealer and an organized plastic tote that holds everything but the two burner. And those $1 sides can be turned into a meal with canned chicken, fish, beef or pork.

I’ve done daisy chained modular setups and they have their advantages if you’ve only got tight spaces and things that cannot be left behind. But when you calculate the wasted volume of all the containers and the time wasted playing Tetris every time you stop, having an all in one kit saves time...

My dad carries a set of boards to put under the tires. I took it one step further and drilled dimples in the bottom and put small bolts in the top so my set would stack and lock similar to legos. My preferred option now is cheap galvanized stacking stabilizer jack stands. The set supports up to...

All of the above and more. Cheap and light $25 crack resistant box. With how many island breeze coolers I’ve seen on the side of the road just in the last week, I’m fairly certain they are more durable than anything else you’ll find in that price range. I don’t have a dedicated rig so there’s...

Yeah, we’ll probably be attending also.

Use fuses, cover everything and be ultra beefy on your safety factors lol

It’s pretty easy to throw something together once you’ve done the math. My current project still has room for extension cords and a bigger version of my previous battery box. New one is 2x55ah power chair batteries, 100 watt solar panel, 300 watt inverter that I stopped using because it made...

That’s what my plan was but never got into any wheeling groups or anything that used gmrs. My cb is a handheld with an external 4 ft firestick.

Depends on where you are at and what kind of info you want. My gmrs will scan for hours with little to no traffic but the cb will be busy on one or two channels with hobby and commercial traffic.

Trip to Devil’s River SNA, more pics to come eventually.

Start of the solar project We’ve been using the 10AH battery boxes for years on trips and kept them on the coffee table between trips for charging phones and other devices. Recently jumped into the budget solar with a HF 100 watt panel and charge controller. So far, even a half covered solar...

Got a good deal on a lightly used old town expedition canoe and welded up a light weight rack to carry using 3 sticks of 3/4 inch galvanized pipe, 1.5 inch angle for the rails and some kind of firewall plug for a Toyota Tacoma to cap the ends. I was an inch too tall on the rear rack so a 2x4 got...

Possibly, we were likely heading to San Antonio.

Howdy and welcome. We also road trip with a home built camper.

Howdy from DFW

Howdy from DFW

On the bright side, DFW is a good launch point for road trips.

I used to have a patriot. I primarily took mine to the beach and only a few times into rocky areas. Pick your lines and don’t straddle things. Approach washouts diagonally and slowly. You’ll probably get a tire in the air but it’ll manage the spin off you ease through. Other than that, keep it...

TPWD has an app where you can either see images of the parks in alphabetical order or a map if you want to search by route and proximity.

On our next trip we’ll be using a 110 qt cooler for general purpose water. And we usually use a 10 gallon igloo for drinking water. If it’ll keep the water cool in southern US heat it should keep it from freezing up there. Drain pipes when you can and foam insulation where you can’t.
