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.
How we started
We started with just basic car camping. A standard car, a tent, mattresses and sleeping bags. We still have all this camping gear since we also take it on hikes and motorcycle trips.
I think, this is actually one of the best ways of finding out, whether you can deal with the...
We've been camping with our vehicles for a few years and we made basically every mistake in the book. We underestimated our desire for quick and easy setup, we overestimated our willingness to compromise for either less cost or higher comfort, we bought stuff we didn't need and still have a...
Just to be clear:
This offer is ONLY the baseplate that gets mounted to the truck so that furniture can get mounted to it! The picture above is from Goose Gear's website. I don't have the plate here.
This is NOT a formfitting plate for the Gladiator bed, but the plate to mount furniture to!
Hi all.
As a leftover from our install of the AluCab Canopy Camper we have a Goose Gear bedplate for the Jeep Gladiator. We had ordered this but in the end decided not to install it.
This bedplate is the platform a Goose Gear build-out is bolted to when installing the Goose Gear furniture in...
I have a Trelino Origin M separating camping toilet for sale.
It's fully clean and sanitized, as new, see photos. Full manufacturers description is here. It comes with Trelino bags and some additional replacement parts that might be needed after a while. At this point, it's as good as new...
Hmmm. Nothing planend right now. My "normal" area is around the SF Bay Area. I might do another short roadtrip South in the next few weeks, but we aren't planning on including greater LA.
This is a large storage bag that can be mounted on a spare tire carried on a wheel carrier, e.g. on a Jeep Wrangler or so. Can be used as a trash bag (we haven't), or to transport bulky but not too heavy items on the spare wheel.
Selling this since we don't have an outside mounted spare wheel...
My estimate is that an average day would be 60Ah, a high day 80Ah. That would mean two to three hours of driving if there is no solar input at all and if I don't install the second charger. So far, my take still is that I mostly need the second battery for the load, not the capacity. If we...
And one more change to the diagram, I've added a 300A switch and a battey terminal mounted fuse between battery positive and the positive bus bar so I have a quick disconnect for the whole system. It's not in the above diagram, but in my v2.
@MazeVX and @reaver – thanks for the comments, but you both might be missing that the Manager 30 is also a 30A DC to DC charger. It's the Redvision system that pulls it all together in a fancy fusebox with remote switcheroo and bluetooth phone connection.
Regarding DC charging:
The Redarc...
Hi all,
I'm planning the electrics of my new rig, a Gladiator with Alu-Cab Canopy Camper. I came up with the below plan and would love some feedback on that.
Some background first:
I'll be using a pre-wired GP-Factor Redarc system which includes Manager 30 BMS and Charger (Solar, Shore...
For what it's worth: I've been running BFG KO2 on a Land Cruiser 79 with canopy camper box (FiftyTen) and have now started using Falken Wildpeak Mud Terrain (both in 33" size). The Falken are noisier than the BFGs, but they seem to handle mud and rocks better than the KO2. Between the two, if...
