Advanced Hand Washing Camp Faucet and Pump System

Advanced Hand Washing Camp Faucet and Pump 8/2025: This faucet is the best for water conservation. I did a 6 day camping trip and used my 12v electric Mr. Heater aqua cube faucet and it just ate through 2 gallons of water per day per person vs this manual faucet which can easily last me [...]

FZJ80 Land Cruiser Interior Storage

So one of the first things that Eric did when he bought the LC, long before we upgraded to the RTT, was to build a shelf/sleeping platform. It isn’t as fancy and polished as the refined single built drawer systems but I wouldn’t trade it for one of those anyway. I absolutely love my removable [...]

Eezi-Awn k9 Roof Rack for 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser

WARNING: When considering adding a roof rack with a hardshell RTT be aware that your average length crank handle may no longer freely turn without hitting the roof rack. Solution is to take your handle to a local welder at any auto body shop and have them add an extension piece for you. I started [...]

Fzj80 Awning and mounting for Yakima bars

Expedition Awnings for the Fzj80 After this last camping trip we have decided to add onto our camping gear with the addition of an awning for the Fzj80. The below listed awnings are the ones that made my final cut due to cost, efficiency, and weight. Right now I am heavily considering weight because every [...]

First Camp Kitchen

February 2025 update: I only use this kitchen set up if we will be camping for more than 5 nights in one location! Otherwise I keep my kitchen set up minimalist and I do not bring this behemoth of a kitchen! In the above picture you can see my completed wooden hinged foot vaccum siphon [...]

Maggiolina Adventure Roof Top Tent Mods

The modifications I made are to our classic Maggiolina roof top tent adventure model, which is no longer made and sold in the United States. We have had our Maggiolina for over five years now and used it on top of our Toyota Land Cruiser and our Audi Avant. I finally found the autohome specs [...]

Maggiolina Adventure Wind Fairing

Update 9/2021- Through trial and error over time and use I added two more support bars and gave it finishing touches with Cordura covers for the foam. I can’t stress how important the roam covers are for protecting the rooftop tent. I realized after taking long road trips with the RTT that #1 it was [...]

Aqua Cube Base Camp Shower Battery Replacement

7/2025 Battery replacement #2 most likely due to our poor battery maintenance. These batteries need charging every three months or they will die completely. Issue: only power on when plugged in. Powers off instantly when unplugged. So I removed the battery and checked the voltage with multimeter. Power read 5V= dead battery needs replacing. Update: [...]
