If you could control quality and production once your business took off you would go far. Consider me as a test dummy (not literally please) I have a good-sized forum that I would share the build on. Your setup over the IKamper I use is a huge step up. In any event, My hope would be for this to be a profitable and satisfying venture for you.

Thanks again for the complements, and if I need a product tester, I know who to call

It just can't happen, Mike's wife doesn't have enough mixing bowls....sorry Mike!

Lager?!?! I didn't know you could get that out your way. I live about 10 minutes from their brewery in Pottsville, PA.

I work for the glass company that makes the bottles for them. In Brockway PA.

Haven't heard from you in a while Jack! I slipped the potato salad bowl back in the kitchen. Don't tell my wife!

Made in America! Keep those bottles coming, we're thirsty. I love the ducks in the bottom of your picture.

Yuengling is a hell of an upgrade from Lone Star!

That's the National Beer of Texas you're libeling! ?

I've been through that town a time or 3. You're about 2.5 hrs away.

Hard Storage Containers:
Storage is Front Runner. They fit nicely in the back or on top of the folded back cab seats of the Gladiator. They also come in handy as a table, and a stool/step ladder to stand on and pull down the popup.

Storage bags:

Harbor Freight $7 Tool Bags. They are cheap, durable and the right size to store in my cabinet or under the seats. It's handy to pack them in the house, and bring them in the camper. I use one for the kitchen items (hot plate, coffee pot, dishes, utensils, paper towels), one for dry goods, one for charcoal/camp fires hatchet, and one for toiletries. I leave the tops open so I can grab items under the seats.

If I'm cooking on an open fire or picnic table, I just grab a couple bags and take them to the table.

Add me to the short list for V2.

Camper Leveling:

Low tech 2"x6" wood blocks tied together with bungee. I pull up to the most level spot, look at the gradient on the Gladiator Dash, and put the number of blocks I need under the low tires. Cheap and easy.

With these I can wake up to those amazing views without rolling to one side of the bed!

Power Supply:
Pecron E600LFP power supply/solar generator. I haven't added solar collectors yet.

It has an extremely fast charging rate, a large inverter and is inexpensive. I love it, but I might go for the larger size next time like the Pecron E2000FLP. I occasionally have to idle my truck to charge the power supply. Not a big deal.

Mike, if you do the Amazon thing there is normally a inexpensive 100w solar panels that I've had good experience with. One did keep my 100 amp LiPo battery charged, I doubled up with 2. It's the semi flexible 100w panels. Very thin and lightweight. A option for recharging your power station.

For storage boxes, I use a few Rigid boxes and H.F. dry boxes. No handy pictures it's to dang chilling for me outside now. I definitely like your choice for leveling blocks too. I used cut down synthetic deck boards for that besides RV blocks with my T.T. no rotting and water proof.

Thanks @Blade1668
Solar is still on my "To Do List".

It's -12 Degrees F or -25 Degrees C this morning in Missouri. It's a great day to test the Diesel Heater!

Only one problem, it didn't work!. My Pecron Power supply only works down to -20 C. Good thing I'm not camping today!!!

Keep your powder dry and your Lithium Power supply warm!

Brrrr...

That's a big problem with LiPo batteries, I had mine shut down in past running fridge freezer luckily it was so cold it wasn't a problem for me then. But it is a problem with running a diesel heater and lights. My LiPo battery is located in cabin of Jeep that can extend time before shutdown. (Not my preference for location.) Now when the solid state type batteries become available that will be a "game changer". My out of the box technique is the (2) 36 amp hrs set I have in a battery case, that has multiple outlets. With a 20 ft 10ga SAE extension cord that connects with D.F. heater. With it you can stow it inside the area being heated.
