Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
I'm right there with you when it comes to camp coffee! For me, it’s all about convenience and flavor. I usually go for a French press because it makes a rich, full-bodied cup, but I also love using a pour-over setup when I have a little extra time to enjoy the brewing process. Instant coffee is...
For $99, that sounds like a solid deal for a pair of traction boards and a carry case! Many users have found traction boards to be extremely useful for off-roading or when stuck in mud or snow. They can help provide the necessary grip to get your vehicle moving again. In terms of performance...
For a budget-friendly sleeping pad, consider the Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sol or the REI Co-op Flash. Both offer good insulation and comfort without breaking the bank. Another option is the Klymit Static V, which is lightweight and packs down small. These pads are durable and should work well for...
For years we have been buying bottled water from Costco which costs $2.99 for a pack of 40 bottles (500ml each). We are a family of five and live in a 2nd floor rental property. It has always been a hassle to carry the large packs upstairs and then recycle empty bottles. And now my body is...
Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s good to hear that Dometic is sending you a replacement lid. For anyone using rigid water jugs like the Dometic Go 11L, it’s a helpful reminder to open air valves or ensure lids aren’t sealed tightly if the container is stored in hot environments. This can...
For buying an expensive item from a new member, consider using PayPal for its buyer protection. You could also suggest sending half the payment upfront and the other half upon receipt of the item. Ensure you get tracking information and, if possible, ask for references or reviews to verify the...
Yes, battery-powered water spigots are a good upgrade. Check out the Lifeline Battery-Powered Water Pump, Esky Battery-Operated Water Pump, or Camco 12V Water Pump. These options provide reliable flow and are compatible with 5-gallon water jugs.
For portable water heaters, check out the Coleman Hot Water on Demand, Camplux 5L, or Eccotemp L5—all compact with good heating capacity. Be sure to check local fire regulations, as propane heaters may be restricted in some areas.
My Family and I are building a home in Tennessee. I'm looking for help in designing and or Installing a solar system, that will give us the same usage we have now. Computers, refrigerator, tv's, all your basic needs! Thanks in advance
Yes, you can replace the wire cable on your Vevor 5-ton hand winch with an Amsteel line. Amsteel is a synthetic rope known for being lightweight, strong, and easy to handle. It’s a popular choice for winching because it’s safer (less risk of recoil if it snaps) and more manageable than steel...
That’s a great tip! Using those brown/silver tarps from Harbor Freight is a smart way to manage your tent's temperature. The reflective silver side helps keep the heat out in the summer, and the brown side retains warmth in the winter. Pairing it with a buddy heater during colder months sounds...
I'm considering installing a water filtration system in my home and could use some advice. There are so many options out there—reverse osmosis, carbon filters, UV purification, etc. I'm particularly concerned about removing contaminants like chlorine, lead, and bacteria. What has your experience...
I'm currently in the market for trailer racks and have been eyeing the Extreme racks from Green Touch. While browsing the forum, I came across a mention of Trinity Iron Images in Texas. They seem more budget-friendly, but I'm concerned about their suitability for securing trimmers without...

where do you all get your spare parts from and is there an exploded diagram that lists all the correct part numbers? I'm sorry if this has been asked a thousand times, but we were all new here once.:( Ps, I do use the search function
I am trying to decide on solar panels for on top of my bimini on my boat. I currently have 260W of solar installed via flexible panels that I am looking to upgrade and use more of the space. I currently have 2x50W sunpower flexible panels that are starting to delaminate and discolor, and a...
Yes, adding an auxiliary battery to run the winch on your Jeep Wrangler 4xE is recommended, especially if you're already drawing power from your main battery for a light bar. This will help ensure that you have dedicated power for the winch without putting too much strain on your main battery or...
Consider using a portable heater designed for camping or outdoor use. Ensure it's safe for indoor use, and prioritize ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide buildup. Insulating your tent can also help retain heat. Always prioritize safety when using heating devices in enclosed spaces.
To prevent theft of food from your truck bed fridge setup, consider using heavy-duty locks, a lockable bed cover, and bear-resistant containers when camping in bear-prone areas.
