My travel cPAP is a ResMed Airmini, and I have a compatible 24V Mediastrom 100 Wh battery. As a backup I can also use the pure-sine wave inverter on my camping battery (GoalZero 400 Lithium, mostly for the fridge), although of course it's less efficient (2 extra conversions). My 100Wh CPAP...

Just below Engineer pass (Ouray side) in Colorado. Wasn't intending to post this or I would have made it look neater and tidier (and put up the awning...). But hey, this isn't Instagram :-)

A picture and recipe would help you prove your case...

Report here on what you find - I am having no luck finding real sliders for my configuration. (Closest I have come is Lund with removable steps, but they are body mount not frame mount. Still - has to be better than my factory running boards).

I have an F150 (Supercab 6.5' bed, XLT, 3.5EB, FX4), and my running boards are getting pretty beat up from coming down on rocks. Do you think the AMP Powersteps would survive coming down on rocks? (Obviously it's less likely since they are tucked out of the way, but it will probably happen from...

Is camping at Goose Lake a nice thing to do, or is it party central?

Is the water always that deep or is it because of all the snow we got this winter? I'd be nervous taking my truck through water that deep (the manual says not to go deeper than the lug nuts, which is probably a bit conservative, but still...).

People have varying amounts of disposable income and time available for their hobbies and lifestyles. Equipment elitism and conspicuous anti-elitism are equally tedious. Enjoy what you do at any price point, be neither condescending to those with less or jealous of those with more.

Yes, Baltic Birch. You can’t find it at a big box store but many places that have a wide variety of wood products will either have it or can order it (even in my town of 8,000 people in the desert Southwest ). Generally good quality - flat and void free.

If I only used my truck for camping I would probably have a cap (or an SUV). But for non-camping purposes convenient access to the bed is important. For example, when I'm building things out of plywood I like to use 5'x5' sheets of plywood, which I just load over the side. Everyone has a...

I finally did a route through North Star Mesa (between Gila and Aldo Leopold Wildernesses) and Bear Trap Canyon this weekend. Beautiful drive, about 130 miles, about 30 on pavement, nothing difficult (although I drive in 4WD off pavement, 2WD would have been fine). My route is at...

Also a 150 owner! What rack is that?

That thread is indeed very interesting. The Utah RV dealer has posted the intro to a series he is going to post on YouTube taking those trailers to the Dollhouse in Canyonlands Maze district. Should be very interesting, although of course from someone with a financial interest. My ideal would...

My wife hated riding off-road with the stock suspension since it was so harsh whenever you went over rock (I thought it was great on dirt/gravel though). I upgraded to a mildly improved suspension package (Bilstein 6112s w 2" level in front, 5100s in the rear) and it is much, much improved...

Got it. Is that 1010 8020? How are you attaching the slides to the stubs? As you can likely tell, I'm thinking of doing something similar!

Nice! Given that the rails are attached to stubs in the bottom rail, are the vertical and top rails doing any work? Maybe you have plans to build something on the top surface?

Thanks a lot. I’ve got a couple of trips planned for this year that will have water crossings deeper than specified in the manual and I’ve been stressing about it.

I thought the issue with Ecoboost F150s is that the intercooler is very low and if water reaches it it’s game over.
