If your truck is already 24v and most of the items you plan on add are available in 24v then its more practical to go the 24v route. Just get a dc-dc converter for the truma and fans, you will reduce the size of wiring quite a bit especially on the larger loads inverters, solar wiring, and...

Verkstad, thank you very much for some insight on other manufactures, in a way its good that our world has increased in globalization making access to far way places much more convenient. I do have to say, getting things done as an individual is much more difficult, when compared to working...

Currently there is no hardware specified so that is why I was seeking to find some sources to choose hardware before getting parts cut. Was coming up with a dead end through the US manufactures such as Southco, Tri-Mark, ect. Those who are looking for hardware and cant quite find the right part...

I don't see an issue with that, just make sure that your extensions are stiff enough to to maintain straightness at height and the slop in the telescoping tube is minimized. Off the shelf ruck camper jacks are not that stout, basically an extended version of trailer tongue jack. With larger...

The price is not too bad, I may also consider that on the camper. Still looking for some ideas on a new install. I guess the other route is use a non-locking handle on the outside, and remote locking on the the latch.

I was wondering if any one has any ideas or guggestions for some decent handles with locks for doors and compartments. I know there are a lot of t-handle, paddle and cam styles out there, but most of their locking mechanisms are easily defeated with a screwdriver. Everyone knows that anything...

I was wondering those with rear triangle boxes, how well do those store items as the floor is slanted towards the tire? Working on finding a shape for my rear boxes and undecided to run a straight triangle from the rear tire, or leave a flat floor area, then just slant the rear section. The...

"The rest of your vehicle is likely to be wired with TXL/GXL/SXL automotive wire, so just wiring the camper part with polar wire is a bit of a waste." Agreed there, most items for general usage using any of the crosslinked wire from waytek or del-city will suffice unless on the water. And name...

If you are looking to get a tank I would go for the one that does not take up any bed space, I've had a transfer flow 60gal in the bed before but it always was in the way of using up bed space, another truck I had a narrow rds tank and it still ate up part of the 8' for loading things. The other...

To be more correct and not depend on people's guesses or opinions, if you find a tire go to the manufacture and they will have a load and pressure chart for the tire you have. Then look at the door for the axle weight ratings or get weighed to look up what load the pressure will support and go...

For the actual amperage, most if not all solar panels will not see the actual rated power in the real world, if they do it is for a very short period of time in the coldest environment with the optimal direction facing the sun with no clouds. But if you want a real number and have a multimeter...

Just wondering if any one has some experience or ideas on how to alleviate the build up of water, sand, mud, and rocks in recessed areas of a vehicle. Prior to starting the rework of my truck I spent many hours washing off buckets of mud with a pressure washer. Then upon disassembly there were...

An off the shelf flat bed will sit at least 6" above the frame rails depending on what brand you choose to go with, usually there will be 3-4" tall cross members going across driver to passenger side then some front to back. Below is an example of the construction. I originally had a CM...

I just wanted to provide an update with AccuTune, after some messaging and a phone conversation, things were resolved. *TRD* / Ryan was a pleasure to work with, just like the first person I was reached. A order was placed for some Fox 3.0 shocks and I received some very useful information about...

For those who went with Accutune, how was the service like? I understand there's a situation going on around the world at the moment causing delays and what not. One day I call the person on the phone was great and all ready to place an order, he wanted me to confirm the measurements. The next...
