Recommendations on diesel heater for RTT.

I’m looking for recommendations on a diesel heater for a rooftop tent set up. I haven’t selected a rooftop tent yet, but based on posts from this group and other groups, it seems like buying a RTT with a thermal layer isn’t necessary and is a pain in the butt because of condensation. Would like to explore diesel heaters, what are your recommendations and advice?

Anker SOLIX C1000 power station

Probably beating a dead horse here, however I’ve been eyeing this power station for a while and it’s discounted pretty nicely. Was wondering if anyone uses this or has any thoughts regarding the Anker SOLIX C1000 Power station? Thanks!

Rollercam Straps or Straps in General End Connection

I am going to purchase some new straps to secure items on my roof rack. I am currently looking at some of the Rollercam straps. They are offered with straight, loop, hook and carabiner ends.

What is your favorite strap and end type? Leaning towards the loop as It could be used on the crossbars but also a hook or carabiner if I have something larger for the frame of the rack.

Suggestions for weatherproof bins?

I am looking for a suggestion for a heavy duty storage bin that is weatherproof for in the bed of my truck. Ideally something with dividers in the bin to keep stuff organized and a way to lock both the box shut and use a bike lock or something like that to keep it locked to the bed of my truck. Thanks

What wheel and tire setup do you have on your rig?

I’m getting rid of my embarassing 20” wheels and replacing them with 17” offroad ones. I’m looking at some from KMC and Rhino, oh and Method. Looking to use these on winter and summer tires.

Would love to get some inspiration from n your wheel/tire setup!

Wheel and tire size, any other info would be great.

Edit: thanks for all the photos! Looks like a troll is downvoting all the comments, not me. He’s just jealous of your setups.

Winter camping with rooftop tent

Hello all. Curious what your heating set up is with a roof top tent. I’m interested in doing the diesel heater but confused about how the power source works and which ones to choose. Part of the reason I want to do diesel heater is for the dry heat. I’m living in the PNW and have difficulty with drying my tent out between uses due to the rainy weather. I also will likely move back to Alaska where I also enjoy winter camping but it’s in far colder temperatures. So I think it’d be a good fit for that too.

Non-Stick Pot and Pan Not Cast Iron

Looking for a new non-stick pot and pan. I am not a chef at all, but looking for something of decent quality and not stick. If the pot has a lid that can double as a strainer, it is a plus. Hope to find something on cyber-monday.

Weather proof lockable vaults??

I am looking for any kind of pullout drawers or vaults that I could mount on top of a roof rack that will be waterproof. Does anyone know of such a thing?

How to secure sand ladders?

Hi chaps, I recently got a camper with maxtrax mounted to the side of it but they're only secured by these rubber mounts. Anyone can just walk up, unclip them and walk away with them.

I noticed the mounts have a little hole at the base of each "prong", you can see one in the photo here and the other one is an inch or so above it. I figured maybe these were for a steel cable or something... But there's no way I could fit a steel loop though these little holes.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Getting started

I've been wanting to do overlanding for a while, and I've had a 2017 trd pro (got it cause I like them primarily) and want to start setting it up for trails. Not crazy, rock crawling trails but also not just basically state park dirt roads. Kinda middle ground. Basically the idea of what I'm wanting to do is get protection on the bottom so I won't gut anything, upgrade bumpers, 33's and a couple inch lift kit. Enough to start practical and functional. I know it's gonna be expensive but just curious on where to start from people who've set rigs up and what's worked and hasn't
