Congrats on the Ocelot. Ive had mine for 3 years now and love it. This is my second camper on my 2002 Tundra AC. I love the convenience of the 3 way refrigerator, cook top, sink and water tank (with hand pump and very slow electric pump) and propane heater. I just saw an ATC build with a...

I have the 78" Ocelot on my 2002 Tundra AC and like it a lot. Through 2016 the Tundras are smaller, Type 1, and ATC took 2" out of the bed height so it fits the smaller tundra. They then added an extra 2" into the soft top so it max hight is still 6'4". I don't extend the bed which is 6'4" x...

I have my setup for two years now. Two KINGSOLAR 50W (100 W total) Semi Flexible Solar Panel connected in series with a Viltron Energy Blue Solar MPPT smart charger controller and their MPPT Control/Monitor. The total cost was about $400. The mounting frame is made out of 1/8" x 1" aluminum...

I use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. You can get them for $10 a month. I have two copies one on my mac mini at home and on on my PC Laptop for the road. Lightroom will almost automatically post pictures to Flickr and automatically updates them if you make any changes to them. So to post the...

Thanks, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while. At least that's what I keep telling myself. They say that your first 10,000 photos are the worst and I'm at about 5,000. By the way my AT ocelot camper preformed great. The two 50W solar panels keep everything charged and I never...

One more picture. We just got back from backpacking 6 days, 40 miles with over 10,000 feet of climbing in the Weminche wilderness near Durango CO. This is a picture of the Milky Way from Vestal Lake at 12,200 feet elevation. DSC03612-Pano-2.jpg by Carl Devendorf, on Flickr

This summer I've been on the road for 64 days and driven over 12,000 miles. My latest trip was from Texas, through OK, KA, NE, SD, WY, ID, OR, WA, CA, UT, CO, and NM. First stop with good weather was this sunset near Scotts Bluff NE at Lake Minatare. DSC01135.jpg by Carl Devendorf, on...

I agree check the fridge it draws 5 to 8 amps continuously andI will drain the battery in a couple hours. To monitor the battery all you need is a cheep plug-in voltage monitor for the 12V camper and truck sockets. You always want the voltage to be above 12V. If it is less the battery is mostly...

I head down to Big Bend National Park during the March New Moon looking for some dark sky. On the way I stopped about half ways between Dallas and Big Bend at South Llano River State Park just off of I10 near Junction TX. I'll recommend it as one of the better parks to stay at conveniently off...

I replaced my thermostat with the Honeywell last fall but didn't realize you could set the minimum to 35. Just tried and it worked! Had it set to 40 all winter with one real cold spell down to 16F. The camper was in the driveway December thru January with the electrical on, the heater on and...

There also was a faint petroglyph of a conquistador on a horse. It looks like the first petroglyph picture was a "hands up don't shoot" statement.

Well, I'v been a little distracted. Bad news, last year installed two 50W semi-flex solar panels. Well one of them is pealing apart an I've lost 50% power. I've got a email in to SOLARKING on amazon for the one year warranty. Good news is had a good trip down to Guadalupe Peak TX and New...

Thanks I figured out the first way but saw there must be a better way.

I made the mistake of not taking RAW, but now you can get a 128G SD card for your camera so I keep it on RAW+JPEG all the time and only download the RAW to my laptop. Going through my pictures from last year and the wide angle lens is the way to go. I have the sony 16-35 mm EF full frame which...

I now have two cameras. I started out with the small compact Sony RX-100 iv ($600) and bought the sony lather case ($50). For almost all cases this camera works great. 20.1MP 1"-type stacked CMOS sensor F1.8-2.8 24-70mm equivalent Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens Optical image stabilization 1/32000...

This works for me. Had a consulting job for a while and picked this up. For photography I have Photoshop and Lightroom. HP ENVY 17 Quad Edition Laptop, Intel® CoreTM i7-4700MQ, Full HD Anti-glare LED 1080p Display, 1.264TB (1,264GB) via Dual Hard Drives (240GB SSD + 1TB 5400RPM), Blu-Ray...

I'm still thinking about going back to Alaska in November, so I changed out my Thermostat with better Honeywell. Also moved all the controls a removable control dash board that screws into the thicker supports and added another 12 socket for my laptop computer and a dual USB. The 12V socked...

I think my Ocelot may be 2" shorter than the standard. ATC took 2" out of the base so it would fit my 2002 Tundra better and added 2" back into the popup material. Here is my list of measurements.

I'm from NM too, grew up in Santa Fe and still have a residence there. One of my favorite breakfast places just half mile walk near the Plaza, the Burrito Co. for huevos rancheros with either red or green or both. Also had blue corn enchiladas from Second Street Brewery in Santa Fe and...

Have you accounted for everything, truck modes, gasoline, and people. Here is my list:

Just stay away from mashed potatoes for a while.

Just scouting some shots while it was getting dark at Devils Tower. There is some kind of KOA campground or something about a 1/4 mile away their headlights were painting the foreground for me. Also the moon was on the left side. DSC00325.jpg by Carl Devendorf, on Flickr

When I'm camping I like the radio. I had a CCrane EP AM/FM portable. On the webpage Jays Radio Reviews it was highly rated. I have been struggling with it for months. For one thing it has analog tuning and drifts in and out and the FM was noisy. I found this Sangean WR-22 AM/FM for $141 on...
