I have both an older Traeger and Z Grills pellet smoker in full size models and have found the Z Grill to be every bit as reliable and consistent as the much more expensive Traeger (the parts are even interchangeable!). I'm eyeing the Z Grills 200A Pro but have a few questions about taking...

I want to eliminate the cigarette type plug that sticks out and tends to get whacked by other gear and also can come loose. I know that Dometic and ARB fridges both come with DC cords that have locking plug type receptacle, but none of the battery packs (except the over-priced and...

Wasn't sure whether to put this under "storage" or another sub, but here goes... For many years my wife and I have been using an Osprey Porter 65. It started with a Europe trip, I think but they. just became our "go to" bag for everything from weekend getaways to longer overland trips. But...

I have a 500Wh Lithium Ion battery pack (originally Suaoko brand, now sold by Bluetti) that has served me well for a couple of years running my Dometic CFX50 fridge. It is hard-mounted in my Jeep and I charge it via a 100w solar panel on the roof and use the ciggie plug to power the fridge...

If you have a fridge that either doesn't have an app or has an app but it requires a Wifi connection to the fridge (like my Dometic) then this might be a great solution for you. I just stumbled across this and thought I'd try it out -so far I am impressed with how easy it was to set up and...

I use the originals in the back of my jeep, and they fit nearly perfectly alongside my fridge slide (the only boxes I could find that fit without wasting space). The problems with them (other than cost) is that (1) they are not sealed, so ants tend to get up in there if there is food) and (2)...

Just got one of these nifty Coleman camp ovens for Christmas and I know this little cardboard box won't last long. I've spent an hour or so searching for either a Plano or Flambeau type case or a zippered bag with handles that is the right size and have not come across anything yet. Has...

I'm currently running a Smittybilt Atlas Rear bumper and I'd like to replace it with something that is a bit lighter weight and has a better "profile" (narrower, closer to the body). Here is my "wish list" of features: Must be rated to tow 3,500 lbs Accommodate a 7-pin towing plug Swing-away...

I got a great deal on some LCI cans not long ago and have really been enjoying them for carting water. The do not impart flavors to the water, even when stored in desert heat for a week or more. The only downside is that they are awkward to handle. So I came up with a prototype dispensing...

All my life I’ve been looking for the ultimate camp shoe. Still haven’t found it. What are your favorites? Let’s limit the choices a bit: Vehicle-based camping Summer and fall conditions Criteria: 1. Easy to slip on when climbing down from the RTT in the middle of the night to take a leak...

If you're having problems with temperature control, you probably have a bad thermistor. Apparently they are a weak link on Dometic fridges and have been for many years. Some last 10+ years; mine lasted about 4 before it crapped out. Luckily the CFX fridges require a lot less invasive...

I’ve had this fridge for a couple years and it has been flawless. I set it at 39° and nothing freezes and my lithium pack will run it for 3 days no problem. I just got back from a trip where it suddenly decided to freeze everything solid (including my beers!). After one night it drained my...

I'm trying to source a trailer jack like this one: But instead of a pipe mount, I want a mount for a 1-1/2" receiver tongue. Other than fabbing something myself with a welder, has anyone seen something like this?

Referring to this type: I find that boiling water for coffee in the previous night's "red beans and rice with andouille sausage" pan doesn't always result in the best tasting coffee, so I'm pondering a dedicated kettle. But I don't want a single purpose device taking up quite so much space...

I just got a Magellan TR7 (Magellan's cheaper alternative to the Garmin Overlander) and it comes with a windshield suction-cup mount. Given that windshield space in a Jeep is precious, and not at a good angle for such a mount, I'd like to put it on my Vector e-dock using the 1" ram balls...

I'm sure this must be a common issue - how do people typically deal with the fact that in many scenarios (like mine) the 270º awning prevents me from being able to deploy spring poles on two of the three windows. Or if I want spring poles (such as in a winter camping scenario) I just have to...

Posting here because I have almost zero experience with using aluminum channel for projects, and I'm hoping someone with more experience will know the most efficient way to do this.. On the back of my Turtleback trailer, the aluminum rails that the RTT mounts to end just flush with the...

Has anyone successfully repaired zippers on their Rhino awning and extensions? I have had two sliders come off and two "retainer box" portions break. As a result I can only put two panels up (and only in two spots, luckily together). One thing I've noticed is that, even thought they are...

So for those of you with a Max Coupler hitch, I'm just curious what you do to secure your trailer for the day while out exploring. Looking at it, I think the simplest solution is to pull the assembly out of the trailer tongue and put a locking hitch pin there, then take the entire towing rig...

I’ve never really cared much about a couple inches difference between my tow vehicle’s hitch and my trailer tongue height but now that I have a Turtleback I’m trying to get it to sit level while hooked up. With my setup that means I need a 0” drop mount for my Max Coupler. I have a 2” drop mount...
