    Thanks for sharing this. We are shipping our US registered truck to Europe next month and I also looked into the POR vs 3PMS tire designation for our tires (MPT-81).

    Solar configuration for powering 12v A/C

    I wasn't aware of that magic, but that fills in a huge gap. I wasn't able to wrap my mind around where the extra energy was going and had assumed it was lost to heat. But the MPPT magic seems to be the answer I was looking for. Thanks

    Update now that I have about 13,000 miles on my 275/80/R20 MPT-81 tires: I had previously stated that I was running them at 55psi in the front. That worked great until we had a really hot drive through the desert. Ambient temps around 115deg plus full sun to heat the road surface. With the tires...

    Conti MPT81 Pressure (and sneak peak at the NEW ones)

    I run these tires at 55psi front and 75psi rear for highway and 25 front 45 rear for mixed trail use. I intend to follow the advice of others: rotate often check for wear regularly. This is for the “smaller” 37” size.

    Digging up this thread from a few years ago. Can anybody who is using the Continental MPT-81 report on how they are wearing? Assuming you are rotating regularly, how many miles are you getting out of a set?

    SOG Systems install for Thetford cassette toilets (eliminates toilet chemicals)

    For those who are not familiar, there is a German company called SOG that makes a retrofit for Thetford cassette toilets. My installation was for an XPCamper V1, but I thought this would be useful for anyone else who has a Thetford Cassette toilet. I highly recommend this upgrade. No chemical or...

    FS: Aluminum, insulated offroad teardrop w/ hot/cold water on a sturdy steel chassis.

    Not sure. I thought about adding a RTT but was going to weld support posts to the chassis rather than setting it on the actual camper pod.

    FS: Aluminum, insulated offroad teardrop w/ hot/cold water on a sturdy steel chassis.

    I never actually weighed it, but the Land Cruiser 80 had no problem towing it on trails. That's not a very strong engine so I never felt like the trailer was too heavy. It would feel really light for anyone with a V8 or even a modern V6.
