I 100% agree with your thoughts about a CPAP. A few years ago I thought probably less than 1% of people used them. After talking to thousands of customers I would say it's more like 10%. Pretty common really. Nothing to be ashamed or in denial of because healthy sleep is important!
@JonDZ_Adventuring3 жыл бұрын
Ha! So many CPAP comments! I’m proud to bring awareness to it. Sleep Apnea could really snow ball someone’s health. Not getting good sleep leads to low energy levels, which leads to gaining weight, and then all sorts of bad news. I was told that sleep apnea takes years, maybe decades off your life. I’m so glad I have my condition treated.

Couldn't tell from the video, but, if you're not, get a 12V power supply/cord for your ResMed. When I'm camping, not having power going through the invertor on the battery pack greatly increases my runtimes since its direct power, no invertor/heat etc, loss, supplied to the CPAP. Also, a portable (ie. lower power) unit will also save battery.

@JonDZ_Adventuring3 жыл бұрын
That’s a good question Dalton. I would recommend the Luno life mattress because it’s made of tough material. I just had issues with the valves, which I believe they addressed in version 2.0. The main reason I went away from the Luno life mattress is because it’s 5” tall fully inflated. it’s advertised as 4”, which it would be if it wasn’t fully inflated, but if you don’t full inflate it, it’s sooooo noisy and squeaky. The thermarest Mattress is made of high quality materials and at the very most, sounds like crumpled paper when you run it under inflated. I’m 270 lbs, so I need to inflate things to get support. So the thermarest mattress is 3 inches inflated, which gives me 2 inches more vertical room. If you’re vehicle has lots of vertical height in the cargo area then I think it wouldn’t matter, but I struggled jumping to the back like I did in this video. You can see I had no room to spare.

I can’t say that the Passport is better than the Bronco sport, but what I’ve seen of how it performed on Fins N things, it appears the Passport is noticeably more capable. Must be the V6 and how the proprietary RDU system performs, and to a lesser degree the better gearing. Yeah, the Cherokee Trailhawk is in a class all it’s own.

I wouldn’t give you flak! I love being part of the “overlanding” community, and you can drive whatever you want! So, most unibody crossovers can only take 2 inch strut spacers. If you go higher, than the subframe will need to be spaced as well to compensate for a more severe axle angle 📐. I’m not familiar with the 2011 Sportage suspension setup, but in some vehicles the geometry gets out of whack, and you might not end up with full minimum clearance gains. Sometimes aftermarket support might be hard to come by. The Russians love their KIAs, so you may be able to find a kit from them.

How does that awning attach to the roof rack?
@JonDZ_Adventuring Жыл бұрын
I bolted the L brackets to the cross bars. I drilled holes into the aluminum OEM crossbars. Sounds janky, but strong winds blew the awning and bent those L brackets 90 degrees. I used the Leverage of the awning arms to bend the brackets back. No issue.

what happened to the luno life air mattress?
@JonDZ_Adventuring3 жыл бұрын
Because it inflated to 5 inches when firmly pumped up, I lost too much head room. The Thermarest is 3 inches or so tall, made all the difference! Also, I had issues with the valves of the Luno life. As you can see, the thermarest valve system is solid! The material is made of magic! Very high end! I think these mattresses are the same price now too! BUT, unless you have 50 inches of width, the thermarest won’t fit.
