    How to heat a rooftop tent?

    I mounted my Propex to my rack inside of ammo cans so that it stores everything I need. Easy cuz I’m a lazy camper, I’d rather do all the work ahead of time.

    Real word opinions of 270 degree awnigs

    I have my rack and tent off the truck right now, but I just took a picture of how tight I can get the awning to the tent. They don’t hit each other going down the trail either.

    Real word opinions of 270 degree awnigs

    Yes, the screw knobs take out any movement and make it very solid, both extended and stored. I’m not saying it’s a perfect design, but it’s worked really well for me. You could probably get away with a smaller square tube, but my local metal shop had a lot of hitch receiver sizes so I went with...

    Real word opinions of 270 degree awnigs

    I thought about a slider that lays flat but as it’s exposed to the elements they would likely rust fast. Mine is overbuilt for sure, as I can hang off each mount, but it is incredibly solid. Often you’ll see damaged awnings as the L brackets bend easily. Not sure what you mean by zero play...

    Real word opinions of 270 degree awnigs

    I made telescoping mounts for my awning so that it could tuck in tight next to my iKamper and slide out 6-8” away from the shell as it leans out. If it helps the DIY build is under the DIY forum here.

    Full Size Tundra Build with DIY Solutions

    For Memorial Day I got up early to find Horse Haven back country air strip. Easy drive up the mountains but I like to air down for comfort and reduced wear on the truck. I made my own 4-way inflator a couple years ago, it’s a different design using Y connectors and zipper sleeves to keep debris...

    Real word opinions of 270 degree awnigs

    I also purchased the Overland Pros unit and it’s great. I had to figure out to pack it up correctly which took a few tries, I do wish the bag was a little bigger to make the zipper easier. I also added lights and telescoping mounts to extend out away from the iKamper shell. Yes the sun moves and...
