I'm thinking about installing a portable tankless, instant propane water heater in my small truck camper. I see folks cautioning about the effects of a propane flame in an enclosed space. But these water heaters are not producing a flame anywhere near as long as a propane cooking stove, yet no...

Finally got the Roofnest Falcon up on the Pickup Trucks cap. Had it up on the standard RINO cross bars but it was about 6" off the top of the cap and the roof of the truck. Didn't like the look or the aerodynamics. With a whole bunch of parts fabrication I got it down within an inch of the top...

Well, I Did It!...I was going to build a DIY wedge RTT as I just sold my Smittybilt RTT. It was just too much trouble to deploy and then fold and cover up 8' high on my truck. I just needed a place to sleep. Had to be stupid easy to deploy and fold up. But in looking at the Falcon tent with the...

ICECO 12V Refrigerator.....November 2019 I purchased an ICECO VL45 portable refrigerator. Works wonderful, but while at the Overland EXPO East, the compressor started to make a loud noise upon start up. Lasted about 45 seconds and then would quiet down to a slight hum. Still worked great, but...

Eighteen months ago I bought a Smittybilt RTT and a small trailer to haul it behind my Toyota Venza. Although we own a 20' travel trailer/toy hauler, when my wife does not travel with me I have no need for such a large camping device. And I want to do a bit more "Outback" camping down dirt roads...

Looking to buy my fourth PU truck camper. I've had both hard side and pop-up types in the past. Back when 4WD trucks were relatively affordable, I'd take them into extreme areas off road. After destroying a hardside with this type of travel, I bought a pop up. But now we use ATVs to get deep...

Had some time today to "Farkle" the Chinese Diesel Heater today........ Lots of pictures and write up on my web site. Enjoy! Chinese Heater Modifications

At the end of WWII, hundreds of acres of closely parked jeeps in Okinawa junkyard. Since they would depress the auto industry if sold, they were all bulldozed into the sea. Trucks too. Thousands and thousands of them. And trailers too! If only we could! We don't need no stink'n HiLift...

Yesterday I took my new built RTT camping trailer on its first long trip. 50 miles each way. All highway. The tow vehicle is a 2010 Toyota Venza V6 / 265HP. Non towing I get 25 mpg ave, day in, day out...cruising highway at 70mph. With the trailer I got 17 mpg for the entire 100 mile round...

My understanding is the thermostat for the ALL IN ONE Chinese diesel heater is in the LED display panel. Makes no sense that this thermostat isn't inside the RTT or camper while being used. Has anyone relocated this panel on a linger wire to be located inside the tent?
