Actually no, I am correct. Look up code on filing propane cylinders before you go telling people dangerous things buddy. I installed pressure and gas systems for a living. The 80 percent cushion is there mostly for thermal expansion, cold tank at 100 percent is going to vent when it gets...

There are pictures posted, is there anything in particular you wanted to see? After about a year of using it I wouldn't change anything. The dog loves it, he lays in front of it and sleeps just fine. No tongue out panting even if it's 90 outside, sleeping is awesome and waking up to no...

In my experience it's cheaper to keep an older car going. My sister has a shiny new audi she's paying on, she also has a 4 thousand dollar repair bill coming on her few year old reliable car. I have an old 67 jeep that hasn't seriously broken down ever and a 03 Toyota that I've put over a grand...

There is a rav4 for sale on a dealer lot for 100k now. 84 for a real vehicle sounds pretty cheap in comparison. Sent from my SM-A516V using Tapatalk

It sounds like you need to give up on off roading. If you don't want a new one and don't want an old one it's not like you have many more options especially when it sounds like you don't have the money to buy something new that you don't want or pay to have your current rig gone through and...

Ouch, over a grand in material? Looks very nice but I just can't get past the extrusion price. How often do you slide things around and move bars around to take advantage of the extrusion build and it's adjustability? Just curious, I put a storage/sleep platform in my Toyota that's welded and...

It's about being ready if something happens. I get you guys don't have guns like we do but your violent crime stats are pretty close to ours but your lack of guns hasn't stopped violent crime, that's why there was talk about banning pocket knives in London because even without guns violent...

I respectfully disagree. Showing that I have a gun on me has stopped multiple people from harassing/robbing me and I have never had to pull the weapon out of its holster. When approached I stay calm, when calm doesn't work then it's a shirt lift and that has stopped everyone so far and I...

OK. Just saying that I've run several batteries that weren't on your list. New and used and never had an issue so it's possible that just because it's not your two picks doesn't mean it's going to take a dump on you randomly. I'm still very curious how people stay remote for a year plus, please...

That's pretty awesome. Got to love when people show that level of skill, knowledge and just general get it done attitude. Sent from my SM-A516V using Tapatalk

Works fine for you then, so long as you aren't in a primitive / remote location when it fails. Those traveling that way for years away from civilisation will want to plan differently. Above is copy pasted from your previous reply. I simply mentioned my actual experience with older and used...

Well, we trusted being pretty remote in the boat and highly dependant on the batteries. Miles off shore isn't the place to lose pumps, especially in an 80 year old wood boat and we never had an issue with the 12 volt system. We would go out for 2 or 3 weeks solid every summer. I'm not saying...

That could be good to know. The house battery on the boat regularly gets discharged to less than 50% and has been in there for 15 years, minimum. Interstate battery maybe? We don't run an aux genny, just let the battery drop and run the engine for a while when needed. Also the joy of knowing...

A blast freezer would be pretty awesome but not feasible at all. Just something to keep them below 20-25 or so for a couple days till I get to the house freezer, or eventually I'll have the trailer set up with a bigger/better system. It won't be adding a huge amount of fish at a time, maybe...

Just curious, are there actual rv washer dryers? I'm assuming a 12v dryer would take forever to cycle, a 110 dryer takes about 4 hours to completely dry a very small load. All I can say is if a gas dryer is an option that would probably save a huge amount in the electrical portion of the build...

Features I can do without, in my mind that's just more stuff to break. K.I.S.S. I'll look into that brand, depending on vent locations that could be in contention. I'm leaning pretty heavily toward something with a Danfoss compressor, have had great experiences with them all the way back to the...

All really good to know. Thanks for chiming in with the real world usage experience, theory is nice and all but reality can be different. No offense to anyone else meant. Dad's old,old fridge would run on the boat for 5 days before we had to run the engine and charge the house battery. That...

Propane tanks should only really be filled to 80 percent of the max as a safety cushion. Anyone filling to total capacity is not doing you a favor. Ever see a full full tank connected and used for the first time? Giant flames can occur as the propane gets pumped through the reg as a liquid then...

I use a streamlight siege and it is sweet. Mine is non rechargeable but the new ones are rechargeable I think. With the shade on the color isn't bad, maybe a little blue but not horrible. It also has a red setting and will flash s.o.s. as well as floating if you have an incident. Built in clips...

I've been looking at those (under the indel name) as well as the iceco, they both have models that would fit. Have to say iceco pricing is pretty nice. The idea of a portable battery is pretty nice, I just don't think I'd take advantage of it. The eventual goal is 2nd battery in the engine bay...
