Zodi Hot Vent II tent propane heater. I bought it off a member from here a few years ago and it's just been sitting there. Works great. Long vent hose. Fan can be powered by 12v cigarette adapter. Also Comes with a USB converter so that you can use a standard battery pack with USB to power...

It doesn't seem to do either of those things. I am guessing because the aux tank itself has a vent, there are no weird vacuum/pressure issues. The downside of my approach is that the factory system is no longer sealed because it is connected to the aux tank, the latter which has a vent to the...

Maybe an RC car/airplane battery charger. I have several that take 110v or 12v input, and output in Lipo/NiCad/Nimh/Lead acid/etc, so depending on what your battery type is, it should work. For example, charger. Mine looks similar to that one.

if you want a new truck, get a new truck. But don't kid yourself that a Tundra, nor any truck, including a Tacoma, could not handle the camper you're planning to get. That's a tiny camper and any 1/2 ton can handle it, unless you have a family of 4 each weighing 250lb+. Heck, I think a...

That's really interesting -- I tow a 8000lb travel trailer with my Tundra and get about 8-9mpg. I also tow a 5000lb boat and get about 12-13mpg, and a 3000lb utility trailer and get 14mpg, which is barely worse than my normal highway mpg, around 16mpg.

I agree with you, esp re the turning radius. I was shocked -- the Tundra's radius is prob similar to my 01 Tacoma, which had a worse turning radius than my 07 Tacoma.

I was just curious. I bought my father a 2019 F150 with the 5.0. It's a very lively truck -- feels much lighter and more nimble than my Tundra. That being said, I suspect it wouldn't do as well towing 7000-9000lbs, as my Tundra. My theory is that the Tundra, because it's a fat pig by...

just out of curiosity, why the Tundra over the F150? More displacement? More weight, and therefore more stable?

congrats! Just out of curiosity, what Icon rear shocks did you go with and how did you get them tuned? I have the Icon 2.0 rears and need them to be valved for a heavier load. When I drive around town, I have a camper shell (non-overhead), external fuel tank, and deck drawers, and it's valved...

seriously. It's nuts. I think a lot of people love to sit around and theorize about stuff, instead of being out there doing it. If they did, there's no way they'd be telling people a 23' trailer needs a 3/4 ton. I used to tow a 23' 4000lb dry travel trailer with my Tacoma, and it was fine...

I have a 5.7 Tundra and a 5.0 Ford F150. I also own a 29' Outback trailer that can fit a 650lb utility quad in the garage. The towed weigh is around 7500-8000lb. Either truck will tow that trailer -- and your trailer, with ease. In fact, you will be faster than any semi up or down any...

just fyi, but the adhesive they use appears to be CA glue, i.e., "super glue," with an accelerator to help it instantly bond. I'm very familiar with CA glue having spent hundreds of hours with them gluing my model airplanes together. Not sure that I would trust them on a highway vehicle...

I find myself thinking of ways to start the dialogue without the "is it still available" because I don't want to rile up a butthurt seller (and lose the item I am genuinely interested in). My favorite line is, "I'm interested in your xxxx -- is it available for pick up today?" Basically, it's...

I never understood why so many sellers get butthurt if someone asks if the item is still available. There are so many ads where the item is sold, but the seller never updates. So it's not lazy nor non-sensical to ask if the item is still available. I
