A few years ago I decided that sleeping on the ground was no longer fun. Having spent some time in Australia a few years ago, I became aware of Roof Top Tents (RTT). Seemed every other car and truck had one on top! Once I returned home I did some research and found a “Used
The Roofnest Falcon is a great Roof Top Tent (RTT). When you purchase it, they include one handle. And it is a VERY nice handle. If you want or need more handles they are $40 each. Don’t get me wrong, they are worth $40 each as they are extruded or cast aluminum, anodized and beautifully
I recently totally reconfigured the solar charging system in my Forest River 19RR Grey Wolf toy hauler. I’ve replaced the PWM charge controller with an MPPT unit and added Renogy DC to DC 40A charger in the truck. Here is a video, in two parts, showing the updated system PART 1 PART 2 Be sure

Not wanting to mess with coolers and ice I built a “Portable Generator” to power a small portable refrigerator freezer. Lots of choices out there for a good quality refrigerator. I had boiled it down to a few models
