    Portable A/C unit

    Agreed on the max power issue. Im still holding out the hope in this $250 unit… in regards to your last comment about being comfortable, I am a Patreon of Dan Grec from “the road chose me,” and from a man who solo’d around Africa, he said he wouldn’t bother with a/c. Extra weight, power, need...

    Portable A/C unit

    For those that cares: Email response received from Outequippro.com I referenced in this post. Below is the breakdown of the approximate power consumption in watts for the 12V version of the unit, based on the current draw in each mode: Turbo Mode: 58A × 12V = 696W Eco Mode: 29A × 12V = 348W...

    Portable A/C unit

    I have been sitting here all afternoon thinking about it and you are right. I will test again tomorrow. I am repairing a mini split system right now and now that I think about it, your comment makes sense. Not sure why I didn’t see this at the time. Maybe household 6 stressors had my mind...

    Portable A/C unit

    I really wanted this to work! I even started planning how I would permanently vent it outside and ordered some of the parts. BUT, the initial test results are completely and utterly pitiful. I guess you get what you pay for! My expectation management bar was set very low and this unit didn't...

    Portable A/C unit

    yes the front top is the out and the bottom is in. The rear also has a dual cover option. If you zoom in on pic#3 you can see the white styrofoam output section and the coil in the bottom.

    F350 CCSB

    Diesel Heater spark arrester: After reading about fires, how to avoid them, then seeing that things like this are mandatory out west, I decided to make a spark arrester for my diesel heater exhaust! Just another thing to add to the tool kit!!

    F350 CCSB

    You know you’re bored when you take a YouTube short and create a tool!!! Not sure what I think about this idea yet but it's either tossing a rock or using a tool??? Maybe I am just bored?? But if getting that pesky “garbage” rope over a tree branch could be easier, why not? Part 1 complete. Now...

    F350 CCSB

    Well, I haven't posted on this page in a while so I guess I can get it updated. Gasland tankless Hot water heater journey. So I found out that I broke it! Too many volts burned up the ignition unit. Reading is fundamental. Max volts is 3, I connected 12vDC. oops! Anyways, in my research, all...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Figured I needed this in my tool box for the diesel heater exhaust! Home made spark arrester! Used 2 deep well sockets to form it and then rounded the edges! Interesting bonus is that the base expands due to the folds!

    Upgraded to a new rig a couple months ago.

    I wrestled with similar decisions. I don’t have the need for using the bed for utility but I did make my system modular so it can be removed in a day. 6 sections with quick disconnects and the cap! I almost went with building something like the decked system but it evolved in my 10 month build...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Sliding in and out of the drivers seat finally took its toll! The switch section plastic tabs and the rear support broke during the last trip so I finally decided to fix it. First round of epoxy to set the nuts, then round two to build it up for strength.
