    I recently bought a used CF-80 fridge. I am looking for a 90 deg plug to clear my Alu-cab fridge slide. The website shows a 90 deg plug that is facing the wrong direction for my fridge.

    RTT Summer camping, heat management

    My wife and I use our RTT all summer long and typically try not to sleep in it once we cross the Mason-Dixon. The humidity and general ambient heat makes sleeping rather sweaty.

    So this story starts with a man and a Tacoma. He found the right girl, married her and promptly dragged her into the back country to go camping and offroading. The Tacoma worked great with its custom bed rack that held a RTT, and it carried them all over the country for 5 years. Finally the...

    Hey guys, I am looking for lower profile light to mount on 3 sides of my truck. I have a rack that I run my RTT on, and would simply weld on a few tabs. LEDs seem to be the newest fad with good light output with little draw. When we are in 'camp' we want more light on the sides and rear, but...
