    Painting vs wrapping a 2022 Promaster 159 High Roof 2500 Van

    We are now the proud owners of a 2022 Promaster. It's just a cargo van right now, but we are going to send it off to get done up in May. But for now the exterior is boring white and I want something with a little life to it. Considering painting it a flat OD green or having it wrapped the...

    Trying to find a medium sized wood stove for hot tent?

    I don't know anything about camp wood stoves only that I need something that is likely considered medium size. Actually I know that bit from looking on Amazon at the different wood stoves. Seems like the medium ones are about the size I think I would need. But there are so many on Amazon and...

    Jackery 1500 Pro - issues

    A couple of weeks after acquiring my 1500 Pro, I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw the display indicating a 14% drop in charge. I charged this thing and monitored it, only to be disappointed when it lost another 2% within just a few days. Has anyone else run into this frustrating issue? I...

    Ham license

    I was recommended to study and apply for my HAM license. Anyone that has one, how much is there to learn? I know that is a wishy washy question, but going to ask regardless. Did it take you long to pass test?

    First aid kit for day trips?

    Holy @#$%^!! I go onto Amazon this morning for a first aid kit and there are hundreds with some of these looking iffy. What the hell, I'll just ask you all. I want a first aid kit for the quick day trips, but a complete kit. Can you suggest one that you have or know of?

    Bought a Smittybilt Scout trailer. Sold it the following weekend!

    I found a ridiculous offer on a used Smittybilt Scout trailer on Craigslist a few weeks ago. I didn't know much about these trailers, but decided it was too good of deal to pass up. Bought it and got it home. After closer look of components and build quality, I'm floored people use something...

    DIY teardrop trailer base?

    I don't want a Harbor Freight trailer, which also happens to be in the thread below mine here. I want a trailer with a little more grit and durability to it. Can you suggest something that is Offroad ready and roughly 4x10 or 5x10 in size please?

    Dog owners: what to use for seat protection?

    We just picked up a new Jeep and my wife is not happy that the dogs (we have two) have scratched up the rear seat already. I can't stand seat covers because they look so cheap. Any options made for pet owners that we can put down on back seats?

    Wombat off-road travel trailer camper project die?

    I have been following this trailers birth back in 2019, but they have not had any updates since Dec 2020. There is no phone number listed on their site. I thought it had a fun concept behind it, but just wondering did they pull the plug or are they still going at it?

    Single-zone vs. Dual-zone fridge

    I'm considering picking up a fridge and noticed the price increase if you get a dual zone. Which I THINK will be nice to have. But I'm wondering if I'll use the freezer portion to justify the expense. Then I was thinking if I go with a dual zone, these need to be larger for obvious reasons...

    How big of solar panels do I need?

    My question is two fold, I'm looking at battery bank like the Jackery. But they offer it in 500w, 1000w and 1500w. How do you know how much power you'll need? Also how many solar panels will be required to charge something like the above?
