If all you're wanting is GPS on the iPad and don't care about inReach services return both the iPad Mini 6 and inReach Mini and get an iPad Mini 6 w/ cellular. The cellular models have built-in GPS receivers and you do not have to have the cell plan activated. That would be the easiest path to...

Generally, black bears shouldn't be too much of a concern but you can't be flippant about how you keep your camp or where you store your food. Grizzlys are a different animal altogether and the same general rules that apply to black bears do not apply to grizzly bears because they aren't scared...

I can see Zello being useful and I'll probably see about getting my wife and daughter onboard with trying it out. Thinking more like when we're out and about (shopping, walking around town, etc) and calling or texting are less than ideal, being able to hit a virtual button and reach everyone...

No, there are radio-to-IP gateway devices similar to DMR/D-Star/Wires-X that allow traditional radios to work with preconfigured Zello users/channels, but when it comes to Zello it requires cellular or wifi connectivity to work. The stand-alone devices also require cellular or wifi, there is no...

Just to clarify how I read your initial post (quoted above), your wording did actually imply that Zello is another off-grid option. Sure, knowing that it works over LTE/requires data should make it clear that it's not for off-grid comms, but I think some of the issue was that your post does...

The next truck mod has been completed. I finally pulled the trigger on some Fox 2.0 coilovers for the front of my truck since I was still stock up there and wanted a little more clearance and a little less rake. The install was a typical PITA that was made worse by breaking a swaybar bracket...

I'll also add that Gaia has basically always been slow to download on my iPad Pro since I started using it a couple of years ago, so for me this is nothing new. Various downloads seem to get stuck and eventually complete or I can stop and restart the downloads to get it to complete.

I'm curious, those of you with slow download/sync performance are you all on Apple devices? I ask because Gaia on my iPad Pro is being annoyingly slow to download/sync but my Android cell phone with Gaia, connected to the same wifi and only a few feet from my iPad, is fast. Perhaps there's a...

I was looking into MITS a year or two ago, just as they were starting to get the ball rolling on setting up dealers/distributors in the US. We ended up going another route, but they make awesome products and seem to be really nice folks so I wouldn't hesitate to go with them if that's the kind...

Yes, the price is a bit nutty, but you have to consider that inReach tech is included. A standard Overlander + inReach Mini 2 = $1,100. The Tread is $200 more and does provide better specs and functionality than the standard Overlander above and beyond the inReach tech. Is that worth the...

So, Sunday night I got back from the first long trip with our Pando 2.0. Total miles was around 3,500 (IL -> AZ and back for Expo West). Trailer was flawless! To recap, here's what I've done since we took delivery: Turned off the second bank of the NOCO GENPRO10x2 120v -> 12v charger as the...

Sold

Bump. Overland Expo West special price, $650 just so I don't have to haul them all the way back home. Haha I'll be camping at the expo Thursday through Saturday at least, possibly staying for Sunday as well.

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.
