Is this them? . legendcaravans.com/au Nice looking but I wish their website had a pic or two of the things being constructed. Probably too nice inside for me but I'm kind of a caveman. Not that it's important but why do 'off road' trailers need mud tires? I can sort of see if maybe they will...

The OP doesn't seem to mention having a charge controller. If he had one there might not be a need for the Victron as a good one will usually show power usage if you think that's important. Is it just me because I find it odd that you would want to chassis ground the neg lead of your panel...

I'll guess they are for connecting to propane tank if yours is equipped with floats but only because of where you found them and they don't seem to be polarized.

I just had to pay $2.15 yesterday for regular unleaded. Up about a quarter in the last four months. It's almost too much to bear.

The OP sounds like a perfect candidate for a propane fridge. Contrary to a lot of peoples opinions they are amazingly cost effective. It will reduce your electrical usage considerably and will work even if your batteries are stolen. I like compressor fridges as much as the next guy but in this...

A friend just sent me some pictures of overturned semis somewhere near Dayton NV. I didn't know the story so I said 'maybe the wind just picked up'. Turns out all the flipped over trucks had to pass at least three flashing "DANGER HIGH WINDS" signs before getting to the actual high wind area...

Did you see any 'pelletized' droppings around the damage? And did you actually see termites or just the damage?

K6ON, Thanks!

I have a Vacmaster 215 which is overkill really for most people but I like it. If I had known of the unit K6ON purchased I would have tried one for sure. You'll save what you paid in bags in no time. I need to watch a video of it in action now just to see how it does liquids. OK, I just looked...

BBQ is kind of a religion here so you need to learn the lingo. I'm kind of a heretic with my sous vide bath but the results are very nice.

I sous vide them right in their vacuumed sealed package. Something like 3 hours at 165 degrees. They are done but do not look like it. At camp you could foil wrap them with sauce and dry rub to reheat and then finish them straight on the grill. I'm trying to learn eastern South Carolina BBQ so I...

I always worry about potential water leaks with this sort of thing. Maybe these are installed in a way to make access and part swaps easy or there is no wood anywhere in a Hallmark to worry about getting wet. I'm sure that's it.

Rando, If the OP can't use the integral BMS as a charge controller he needs one of those too so I amend my first post. Is it hidden in the Xantrex maybe?

I didn't say he had any math errors. Problems with the article I see after a quick read. 1. He ignores the fact that 12 volt swing motor fridges have been around since the 60's so making a brushless version of their previous AC compressors is not like a moon launch. 2. He ignores the fact that...

I just read the article Iowahiker linked to. My opinion is that there are numerous factual errors so you might want to view it with a grain of salt. Like everything on the interweb including my posts.

Rando, It appears to me he is using the BMS in the battery as the charge controller. Am I missing something? I probably am so I'm asking. If that is the case he's violating a few of my rules of thumb that only apply to me which is why it's an opinion. 1. He's running 2 batteries in parallel...

I would make a few changes but, really, JMO. 1.I would ditch the inverter charger for a stand alone sine wave inverter and a smaller one at that. 2. I would suggest a smaller fridge, maybe 3-4 cubic foot, and then make room for a cooler shaped compressor fridge for use as a freezer. 3. I would...

That generator looks just like one of the many Chinese gensets out there. The Sportsman brand being the closest I think. I doubt they will make a high altitude jet kit though as there is unlikely much of a market for parts that would be used at 8000'. However it's pretty easy to figure out that...

If the washer tub is maybe too big, I thought so, try a spaghetti pot strainer. I bought one at the local Ikea and I think it was about $8. I put some legs on it and now have a mini version of the washer tub pit. Your fire has to be smaller but I'm OK with that and you'd be surprised how much...

Sweet!

I was looking to buy a diesel Promaster a few years ago for my side business. I could not get past the 'feel' of the twin clutch trans. It's just odd. I drove three different vans thinking that the first two had a problem. Turns out that that is just the way they are. The ones I drove were...

I tried a Gentle Leader on my Springer/Rott and he hated it. He just learned to cock his head to the side and he pulled anyway. I found it after returning from work one day chewed into about 100 pieces and Duke just standing over the pile looking smug. I think if you choose a very high energy...

I'd go with the Class B unless you really need 4X4 or having a big sleeping area is important to you. I currently have a '88 Xplorer 230 for sale. The only reason it's for sale is that the bed at 72x48 inches is too small and there really is no way to expand it. Being able to turn the van off...

A guy on youtube called Justin Credible used one of the P9000 for years in Canada and loved it. It uses a double wall flue so intake air comes from outside. I just looked and it appears he's switched to some sort of wood burning stove/fireplace and switched Class B's also. A removable double...

Sorry about your loss but you really can't leave anything on the highway these days. When I still had it I would carry my StarCraft Starblazer around in my drop axle 5x10 trailer I carry my lawn mowers in. It was great. The bottom of the CO section barely cleared the tailgate of my truck so the...
