I have the smart shunt and it works fine. There are also li batteries with Bluetooth built in so additional items needed. In youre in cold country I'd recommend one with built in heater mat or at the least a temperature circuit that will stop it from trying to charge when too hot or too cold...

100% disagree Properly used bear spay is very effective . The problem is it has to be ready . Same with a gun. If you see a bear approaching you have maybe 30 seconds you dont have time to dig anything out of your pack or unholster your firearm. Secondly you have to know how to use it . If a...

I have 2 one in the galley and one in the van as long as you keep the van doors closed and the galley shut you should be OK. I put food and trash in the bear boxes.

As cary said make sure all loads are off. I added a GPS tracker and its hidden well enough that its a pita to unplug . I've found that after about 4 weeks the battery in down about half. Lucky for me I have a garage I keep it in. But for some reason the ac/ battery charger doesn't kick in once...

I found 10lb tanks on amazon

I have both. Why would you carry a kitchen knife in your pocket? I have a roll up with kitchen knives and utensils that I keep in the galley. And I have a knife and sheath that I wear on my belt when camping

Not on the back on the roof of camper so more in the wind. I contacted a few companies that make them and they said not recommended.

Thanks. I can fit it in the van but as you say it takes up alot of space. Perhaps I can move everything else onto the roof rack. Remove front wheel and put the bike upside down.

The worst area was the brake rotors. Idk what you could put on as a coating that wouldnt affect the stopping power.

Not to hijack but what does everyone do about protecting the bike from weather? My last trip was 8 weeks with my bike on top of the 560. No rain but when I got home I noticed the brake rotors and bolt heads had rust. I've looked at bike covers but they say that they dont hold up to highway speed...

Highly recommend west koa. Just got back.5 mins from the park

I found the $5 standby mode works well enough for email low res TV and android auto . Of course when everyone started using it for Android auto they changed it to not work above 10 mph. I use the auto kit which includes a long cigarette adaptor cord.

I mount mine inside my van with suction cup mounts on the inside of the skylight. Works fine. For slightly better reception I've had it on the dashboard. I only watch YouTube and Netflix and use it for Android auto while driving.

I put a wifi thermometer next to mine. You can set a temp for it to send alarms to you. The only problem is if you change wifi networks while camping.you have to reset them . Someone probably makes a Bluetooth version that would eliminate that problem Smart Temperature Humidity Sensor Works...
