That was indeed an awesome trip. Thank you again Dave for planning and organizing everything so well. I put together a short video of parts of the trip, for those that were there and want to relive it, or for those that sadly missed it!
Hi guys! Super excited to meet you all and have fun on this trip. I am new to HAM and I am not licensed yet, but I am getting a radio for this anyway which is arriving on Tuesday. So, I’ll be a radio newbie... :smile:
For those of you local to the meet up area, can you recommend a camping...
Thank you, Dave. It seems the download GPX function is not available if you come in through the OB app. It is if you go in with a regular browser. But, it seems the file is blank (0 bytes)...
Wanted to follow up on this story, as I finally got the Dometic CD-30 drawer fridge and installed it. It was a little challenging to install because I did not want to take the entire frame out of the trunk and install the fridge outside, and then put the whole thing back in there as I was by...
It sounds like it's still feasible in mid-October. Anyone in Southern California interested in heading up to the Durango/Telluride/Silverton/Ouray area for a week or so?
Hi folks! I am thinking of visiting Colorado from Southern California in maybe a week or two. In particular, the area around Durango/Telluride/Ouray. Is that too late? Will it be crazy cold (as in to sleep inside the vehicle, but somewhere in the mountains)? How about snow? Will the trails be...
@Spud.Built, I am looking for that same Dometic drawer fridge to put in a similar setup as yours. Good job on yours. One comment, though: the refrigerator needs to have space around it for ventilation, and you have it fairly tight in an enclosed area. It will possibly overheat (especially in the...
I cannot tell you how well it will perform long term as I just finished it, but I can tell you the drawer frame structure is very strong. It's held down with only the two rear turnbuckles and that seems to be enough, but if you were concerned it wouldn't be too difficult to also secure using the...
Thank you! Please note this was done for an FJ Cruiser and the bed platform relies on the rear seat bottoms for support. Other vehicles without those seats for support will need to add some other type of leg for those bed spanners to rest on. This would be also true if you had an FJ and wanted...
I tried it last weekend. It worked very well, although I will need to make a little tweak to the stove shelf.
I got all the t-slot extrusions and t-nuts from TNutz. Same as 80/20 but cheaper. The square tube bed spanners are from a local industrial metal supply place, but they should be easy...
Here's my recent galley/sleeping platform build, in case it helps inspire anyone planning to build a galley/sleeping platform system. This is in an FJ Cruiser.
My guiding principles were:
1. Keep it as lightweight as possible
2. Accommodate a drawer fridge
3. Drawer system had to be easily...
