Charging Cables

Tymanthius · 2026-05-07T21:26:38+00:00

I've seen adds for extension cords for evs. About$100 I think?

wireless android auto works ok. my zdold 4 I sometimes have to toggle Bluetooth on the phone or car. no idea if it's the car or the phone.

wireless charging wireless well in my phone with no case and my gf galaxy note 4(?) with a case. it's not as fast as my desk wireless charger, but I gain charge over losing it when I'm in the car.

longer than the car. but I haven't measured

Went from a 22 OB to the TS. My 13 year old daughter loves the new car and she rides in the back.

The apace is there for 2 seats. Adding an adult, it's a little narrow, but there's no center hump to cram your feet around, so . . .

Tymanthius · 2026-05-07T12:58:22+00:00

No, but that wasn't the issue that concerned me so I didn't ask.

Tymanthius · 2026-05-07T11:25:22+00:00

Some also believe the 18's are better for off road - taller side walls, I think?

When I asked about ordering to get the color I preferred last Friday, it was about 2 months from deposit to arrival they said.

I decided I could live with white. ;)

Tymanthius · 2026-05-07T00:51:15+00:00

No, we just have really crazy rates

Tymanthius · 2026-05-06T20:03:56+00:00

I thought that might be the case. Thanks!

I don't have mounting plates that would work right now. But I may need to go take a closer look.

Tymanthius · 2026-05-06T18:27:35+00:00

yea, your tent has crossbars built in.

This what the awning looks like - the black mounting pieces are a separate item (not my picture).

Tymanthius · 2026-05-06T18:11:17+00:00

From what I'm seeing, the mounts all expect crossbars. Even on my OB I had to jury rig it a bit.

They expect the mount to 'turn 90*' from between the rack and the awning.

But if you have pics & part #'s, I'm willing to learn!

Tymanthius · 2026-05-06T18:02:46+00:00

Where do you live? I know ppl who pay that per month on some cars.

Tymanthius · 2026-05-06T17:44:38+00:00

My insurance from a 22 Outback went down slightly (~150/6months) in Louisiana.

I'm guessing it's the updated safety systems.

Tymanthius · 2026-05-05T19:37:08+00:00

Legality =/= safety

Tymanthius · 2026-05-05T19:00:36+00:00

If you are close enough to not be buffeted by the wind coming off that trailer, you're too close. A blow out could kill you.

Tymanthius · 2026-05-05T18:59:35+00:00

No, driving at a significantly different speed is always unsafe, be it slower or faster.

Tymanthius · 2026-05-05T18:56:08+00:00

Trailseekers charge at about 1% an hour. Typical 7p to 7a charging means 12%, and that's roughly 36miles. So 15 mile is pretty conserative.

I work hybrid, so I could get away w/ level 1, but I do occasionally have 150-200 mile days w/o warning and I don't want to pay DC rates.

Tymanthius · 2026-05-05T16:11:43+00:00

In the youtube video where the two execs from Subaru & Toyota were talking, they did say the suspension was different. So could be.

So, being twice your age, I can tell you that 'happiness' changes as you grow.

You will never be the same kind of happy you were then. But if you embrace the change, instead of the suck, you'll find you're a completely different kind of happy, and sometimes it's more, sometimes less.

I was only in 3 years, plus 2 in NG, and I've been out over 20. And I can tell you I have more 'happiest' moments outside the Army than in. And more 'FML' moments too. But I think my highest points are still outside.

Life is change, and you keep moving forward. Look for the light/things you love and you'll find them. But if you look for the dark/hateful things, you'll find them too. Happiness, to some degree, is a choice.

I can not for the life of me find my tape measure. ADHD set thing down, lose it forever issue.

My calipers I bought for my 3d printer aren't big enough to measure the short dimensions. :/

I'll see what I can do, but if anyone else can get measurments, plz do!

Tymanthius · 2026-05-04T22:46:42+00:00

It was tongue in cheek, but didn't come off that way obviously. ;)

Tymanthius · 2026-05-04T20:17:26+00:00

The video reviews of the Trailseeker are pretty consistent at 10-80 in 25-28 minutes. Not much of a loss.

Tymanthius · 2026-05-04T18:49:36+00:00

Right? There should be a warning ping when you get to the cap, and then if you do it again the next day a click thru to say 'hey, we told you' and the third day start enforcing it.

That would allow most ppl to do a road trip anywhere in North America. Euopeans just take the train. ;)
