    Texas to Alaska to Texas. 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid driving on the Dalton Highway and the Dempster Highway. July/August 2023.

    Same concept. I’d tell you where it was but I was on a three day bender after riding snow machines over the border from Tok so the memories are a bit blurry.

    Stop in Dawson on your way back to get the human toe and dog balls certificates.

    Fisker Files For Chap 11 Bankruptcy Today

    The irony is that EVs powered by coal power plants still produce less lifetime emissions than an equivalent ICE vehicle, from mining of raw materials through to disposal of the end product.

    Need ideas to carry motorcycle and bikes at speed. Off-road capable.

    Most 15” and larger trailer tires are M or N rated (81 or 87mph). Not ideal towing that quickly if something goes wrong but the tires can handle it.

    Trailer Hitch Extension Weight Limit Question

    Are you and your dog hanging 18” off the back of the hitch and bouncing off bumps in the road at 50mph+? There’s a huge difference between static load on a ball and the weight in motion with an extended arm. As a static load that works out to about three times the force acting on the point where...

    Starlink Mini Portable Dish With Integrated Wi-Fi Router

    I haven’t had any issues with speed constraints even with a number of other users in the same campground/area. The Starlink FAQ says the mini roam plan can’t be paused but this screenshot from my app still shows the same pause service slider the normal roam plans have. I’ll be out of town when...

    Trailer Hitch Extension Weight Limit Question

    The risk isn’t to the extension, it’s to the hitch and mounting hardware. Those components are rated for weight acting on a short arm. Adding the leverage of an extension reduces that rating significantly.

    Starlink Mini Portable Dish With Integrated Wi-Fi Router

    I’ll let you guys know how it works out. I had previously been paying $145 for the grandfathered Standard+portability plan but switched to the discounted $90 residential rate once I stopped being a homeless bum traveling in my trailer. Adding the Mini plan is still decently priced and is a much...

    Starlink Mini Portable Dish With Integrated Wi-Fi Router

    I think those aren’t actual price quotes but just predictions based on Musk saying it could be about half the price.

    Another Rhino Rack Disaster Class, And How I Think You Can Avoid Being Like Me

    I didn't watch the video. How often, if ever, did you inspect your mounting hardware? Hard to fault something for loosening up or eventually failing if it's subjected to rough road vibration and no maintenance.

    R1T, that’s watts up. Our new beginning

    Double check that you can still get your preorder price discount with the gen 2 vehicle. I seem to recall reading that the discount had to be used prior to 30 Sept and was only valid for a gen 1 from the R1 Shop.

    Dc to dc charging

    How large of a battery bank do you want to charge and in how long of a drive? My trucks have typically charged the trailer batteries at around 7AH and coupled with the solar panels that continue to work it isn’t uncommon to see a 30AH+ charge rate while driving on sunny days.

    Real world Starlink dish differences? Or, is it worth the $2K upgrade?

    I’ve been using Starlink for almost four years and partial obstruction due to trees won’t be an issue for your usage. The drop in connection is only noticeable when doing something like a video call or online gaming.

    Solis 5G Hotspot? Good where cell coverage is spotty?

    If there’s no cell signal that won’t work, just like your phone. The benefit is that it can connect to multiple service providers so if your Verizon phone has no service but there’s an ATT tower it would probably still work. Their advertising doesn’t say what networks they can use so that would...

    Real world Starlink dish differences? Or, is it worth the $2K upgrade?

    You don’t need the high performance, the standard setup will do everything you need.

    Texas to Alaska to Texas. 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid driving on the Dalton Highway and the Dempster Highway. July/August 2023.

    Cram as much driving as possible into Houston to Fort St John, there's not a whole lot of scenery to take in on that part of the drive. I'm talking 16 hour days, just crush it out and free up time to enjoy the good stuff in the coming days. Leaving Anchorage I'd suggest continuing past Fairbanks...

    R1T, that’s watts up. Our new beginning

    You’ll enjoy it. Other than the range constraints when towing it was an excellent truck for me.
