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...

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.

If you want to be able to easily remove the entire Alu-Cab slide then using tracks is a great idea. If you don't care about that then there's no need to mount the Alu-Cab slide to anything other than the Decked cover, which is exactly what I did when I had my ICECO VL60D in my truck.

Also don't forget this FB group! :) Illinois Overlanders & Adventure | Facebook

I think the larger issue is that you're thinking everyone should fit your definition of what overlanding (or whatever you want to call it) is and are taking issue with those that don't fit your definition, whether it has to do with how much money someone spent or their attitude. If we were all...

Danfoss -> SECOP, prior to 2008 it was Danfoss, then SECOP acquired Danfoss Compressors. That's why you see references to Danfoss/SECOP, some may recognize the Danfoss name but not SECOP. The VMSO3 compressor is made in-house by Dometic, it's not the same thing as or a rebranded Danfoss/SECOP...

Not many, all. Unless there is active circulation like some residential fridges have, it will always be colder at the bottom. That's just physics.

Everyone has different budgets and goals. Overlanding is whatever YOU want it to be and what other people do should have no bearing on you. Your argument could be used just about anywhere in society. Someone will always have a more expensive car, a bigger house, a bigger boat, more...

I can't recommend the ICECO VL-series fridges enough, great products, great support, and great value for the money. They are solidly built, reliable, and are great in terms of efficiency. If the VL60D we had would've fit the fridge slide in the new trailer I would've kept it. I can't say much...
