If you have a site with electric you can use a small space heater. I’ve been using a 500w unit plugged into an aquarium thermostat to set the temp.
If you plan on camping in the snow or below freezing temps I’d highly recommend the thermal pack. The 500w can’t quite keep up in those situations.
The 4WC units are awesome, but will probably get a full sized unit. Not like I can go too far out there since I need a cell connection to work. And adventure / dirt bike could hang off the back and get me out to more interesting places when I have the time.
I’ve actually been living in an iKamper Mini with awning for the past 7 weeks on the road. Since I’m a remote worker and need power I’ve gotten state park campsites with electric and been using a 500w space heater instead of the thermal insulation. I’ve also installed custom lighting.
But I’m...
That’s pretty much the conclusion I came to. Run it for a few hours if I know I’m going to want ice.
Shame they didn’t insulate the ice maker area better instead of making it removable.
Hi all,
Hope this is in the right forum. Mods, feel free to move if I put it in the wrong place.
I have a Dometic CFX3 55IM which I've been using for a bit and it's been working great. However I just decided to turn on the ice maker to make some ice earlier today and the compressor hasn't...
Dave, one of my Uncles just bought some land outside of Scranton. I'll probably be out that way next summer for a while as I'm able to use it as a basecamp to explore the surrounding area. Hopefully I'll remember and send you a PM for some suggestions on where to visit!
Thanks Vance! I'm...
Thanks Mike! The taxes in NY are crazy, especially since anything shipped into the state has to have tax charged on it now. It does have a bit over half an inch thicker mattress which is nice. The more I think about the lights the cooler they seem as well. The bags, not as much to me. But...
Thanks Mike!
I had looked at the Roof Nest products, and just took another look at the Condor vs Skycamp Mini. Besides price, the differences I'm seeing are the LED light and it being slightly bigger when open and slightly smaller when closed. However it also looks thicker and less...
Thanks Mike, I see you're the TX rep... I'll be spending most of the rest of the year into next spring in TX. Perhaps we'll run into each other at some point. Any must see places or must do activities you can suggest?
Road, thanks for your experiences and the links! I do agree that 12" above the rails is a bit short. It's a combination of cost and availability that's driving me to a lower setup. Should also be better for wind resistance as well. If I wasn't likely to be swapping vehicles in 2023 I'd spend...
Thanks Pat!
The part about setup and teardown is really good to know! And that makes the decision much easier as a iKamper is less than a 23Zero and trailer. And that difference is probably better put to the down payment on a Bronco than a trailer. The Bronco will get me a lot more...
Currently RTT shopping and am between an iKamper and 23Zero. I only know tents that go on the ground, don't magically unfold and pop up or have hard shells. So the wisdom of those that do would be appreciated. Information on my setup / situation is below.
Working remotely, and the tent +...
Hi all!
Recently became a permanent remote worker with nothing other than my job really tying me to where I am. So I'm transitioning from a backpacking tent to a rooftop tent over the bed of my F-150 and going where the breeze (And cell phone service) takes me.
I know I'll be heading to Gulf...
