Been busy making Mods to the Max. Coming soon, I’ll be posting pics, descriptions and Links. Here are a couple pics of what I’m starting with. Picked it up in Manahattan 18 Nov 25.

So I’ve been making improvements on the rig. See Pics Below. Here is a list.
- Started with the Decked System just before picking up the Truck. After wards I used leftover foam tiles from my gym floor to pad the deck and tailgate. Then added the indoor/outdoor carpet. Very comfy on the knees. All mounted via velcro so I still have access to the storage compartments along the sides of the deck.
- Installed the OpenRoad 270 Awning. Used three GFC mounts, very strong install. Don’t foresee any issues down the trail.
- Bought the HCalory TB MAX Diesel Heater and installed that. You can see the 3 1/2 inch port I made for the intake in the upper right of the drivers side panel. Went with it here because this is a V2 Max, and with the pass through now, the intake from the heater is right there where the heat will circulate and heat the upstairs and downstairs perfectly. The rubber grommet makes it weatherproof when not being used for the intake louvered manifold. Tested on a very cold day. At level 2 of10 it keeps the house warm as can be. But there is also a thermostat built into the remote FOB to set a temp and forget it. Supposedly, the 7-liter tank is supposed to last approx. 62 hours on a mid-setting.

- l already had an ECO Flow solar generator (2K Watt) so that’s my power source for everything. You can see where I wired in the Solar cables just above through the new port provided in the V2 Max.
- Sunday, I installed the two Ship-to-shore ports you see on the left side of the driver’s side panel. One is Male, the other Female. My wife is more of a “Glamper” so I figure I will be having to stay at a campground every few days when traveling for showers. This way I have the male end for hooking up an extension to the campsite power outlet. Then with the female outlet, I can plug the heater or anything else into the camper which is then plugged inside to the generator. No need to fish any wires through a panel opening. Everything stays nice and tightly closed up.
- I have a 57-liter electric cooler/fridge that takes very little power which plugs into the generator.
- I’m still debating on solar mounted on the roof. Seems less flexible for the many different sunlight scenarios and parking. So, in the meantime, I have a 400W Solar Blanket by Renology. Most everything shown was bought on Amazon, so easy to find.
Here are pics of everything. Hope it helps with ideas for your setup.
