    MVUM (or similar) in Google Earth Pro?

    I have started using Google Earth a fair bit because of the ultra-high resolution (3D) terrain maps. I'm really missing the MVUM/trail layers I use in Gaia and OnX and I was wondering if there's a way to get these layers into Google Earth? E.g., are there GPX files for MVUM maps or is there...

    Wait, do I actually want a van? How about a travel trailer?

    I recently posted about our intention to get a 4x4 144 Sprinter that we're planning on building out over the next year or so. We're currently using our 2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk (with a roof top tent + other goodies) for all sorts of off-road camping adventures, but we thought that the...

    Charging an EcoFlow Delta from inverter?

    Hi folks, I have a 600W Samlex hooked up to my Odyssey battery 49-950 in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Until recently, I used the inverter with my Jackery 500, which has a 100W input charge cable and my Dometic CFX35 fridge (~80W). The inverter/battery combo should be plenty powerful enough for that...

    Splicing WeBoost cable?

    I bought a WeBoost Drive Reach OTR a little while back and I just broke the antenna trying to unscrew it. WeBoost will mail me a new antenna (cat # 311229), but I really really don't want to have to redo all the internal wiring since that's an absolute PITA in my Grand Cherokee. I'm therefore...

    WK2 backseat delete - looking for platform ideas
