My Creative Detecting / Overlanding Rig


Recommended Posts

I saw those Iceco's  right after I got a Whynter .

Two separate compartments with diff temps and way less $ too.  I'm in the process of building an insulated enclosure with outside force fed air tunnel to the intake vent.

Your rig reminds me of my old Dodge sweptline when I lived in the back of it touring on the road. But you have all the stuff I  didn't have room for till I retired and got the RV , good use of space !

Nice thinking on how to make everything fit that you needed.

Good luck and stay safe.

RVPopeye, if you are able to get an ICECO, then I would highly recommend it. I have been running mine 24/7 for a month, driving over rough roads and through washes, never a problem. These things were built for our kind of use. My Jackery will be at 100% charge when I hit the sack and when I wake up it will typically be down to 73%-80% charge left. By 3:00 pm it will be back up to 100% capacity.

Reese, 

That is a great set up, think you will do fine with that rig wherever your travels find you. A bity envious of the great adventure you set upon. I enjoyed  reading  your first book The Nuggetshooters Field Guide plenty of information and I pulled out some information I never knew.  Stay safe and good hunting.
