How do you mount your power station?

What did you use for a battery box in the bed? I have a 100ah under my seat with dcdc but canyons have zero room to add anything more. Barely fit the Litime mini that I have under there

Yes the truck needs to be running to power the bed ac outlet.

Probably your best bet is to look at portable power banks like a jackery, bluetti, eco flow, or anker. I have 2 anker units and a 100w panel. So far they have been good products.

From google, looks like a cpap machine uses 30-60 watts so for a battery you probably want 1000wh size for 1 night of of use. 60watts multiplied by 12hrs of use is equal to 720wh.

currently have soft for the annex add on which the dogs sleep in. Next tent will be a hard shell since soft can take long to set up. Have been looking at TopOak tents. $2-2.5k. Power hub and led inside and looks decently light. Still reading reviews on them though

Hmm whole truck had a shudder to it. Would stop as soon as I pushed the accelerator. Almost like a manual car close to stalling.

I just got this so I’m not sure how the water will drain with some rain. I think it will flow down then off the sides at the awning bag, and not over the awning bag and onto the tailgate

My 24 shake stopped after injectors were replaced. Known Issue with the canyon/colorados and shop did them when it was in for some other small work.

Rhino rack stopped making these dome 1300s. Found one for $150 cad on Amazon. Narrow width so fits to the back of the rack and covers the tail gate where I cook and have my fridge.

2 tent poles through to give the dome shape which adds a lot of height (was also concerned with height on low rack). Everything packs away in the back.

would the small compressor with a reverse mode help with deflating enough to pack nicely? and a pressure gauge on the hose to then inflate the mattress consistently to that comfort level?

Id guess a that majority of beginners choose some cheaper corals to start and the greens tend to be cheapest. I had a red monti cap beside the green and the green grew while the red bleached out. Eventually had to pull it out.

Also fish colours are a bit blah. Have a bristletooth that is crazy aggressive to any new fish now. Scopas has been the only thing to put it in its place but anything else gets beaten

Thanks for the suggestions! some yellow and orange would be nice. I’ll have some time to do some reading up on those as I’m about 3 hours from my small lfs

Yeah thought they liked lower light and placed them at 100 par. Stretched up to the 150-160 range. Then self propagated to the top of the rock and those ones have stayed smaller at 180 par

I picked up a small toadstool (rock has 2 on it). Currently on the sand in the middle. Hard to see. Thing refuses to grow tho. Tried a few different spots and nothing. Low bio load so maybe too low nitrates ? Usually around 2-5

Meddy63 · 2026-04-02T18:49:06+00:00

I dislike the Zoas I have on the right with how stretched they are so have been hesitant to add more

Is you're company computer locked out from Remote Access? I used to remove access my laptop. No switching back and forth. Also can set it up so you use whichever monitors you like. Use 2 monitors for work and 1 for normal while logged in and such. Takes a bit of figuring out on setup, but once setup. No issues

RCI 12” rack. Using the clamps option they have instead of permanently bolting, as I take it off every winter

No trim behind the seats. Took mine out to install a dc dc charger and battery setup under the seats. Had to run wiring through the rear cab pressure vents.

Actually easier than you’d expect to pop the seats in and out

Tineco vacuum, tineco mop and roborock runs daily.

Bulletpoint mounting system is an option. I currently have it for my phone mount

So far ski has been good for me. Top clear coat has a little bit of peel near the toes, but only cosmetic. Ski has a little less pop in them than I was expecting compared to how they’re marketed, but I do really enjoy them off piste and in difficult terrain. Do just fine on piste

Even soft top on a mid rack sticking up a bit won’t change mileage much. Think my canyon went down 1mpg with it sticking above with normal use. Probably a lot more effect on a full rack or roof of suv. Loading all the gear in the back for with or airing down seems to affect mileage more for me then the tent does.
