FAQ: When will I get my Drifter? How long are people waiting?

A few more pics. The AluCab takes less than 30 seconds to pull out and a minute or two to put back in. Definitely will get alot of use. Those with keen eye will see that I got different lot numbers of Cerakote. Just been waiting on my Nomad and will fix that when I'm painting it.

 

It looks absolutely fantastic. Huge congrats to you and thank you so much for sharing what you saw at the shop!

 

congratulations! Super pumped for you that you finally got yours! Looks killer! Is that the Merlin solar panel? I’m wanting to grab one of those

 

If you just ordered one you are many years away from receiving it.

 

Well lets hope thats not the case

 

I was told i was bumped up in line to a Nov 2022 spot. I spoke extensively with him at expo west in flagstaff this past year, 2022. Made my deposit but have not heard anything back as of late. We were in txt contact but has fallen silent since june

 

That tundra with the nomad is drop dead gorgeous!

 

What propane tank holder is that, and how is it mounted?

 

Yes it's their 330watt. Not cheap but I thought I was going to have a height problem with the garage. Could have gone cheaper with standard panel if I hadn't blown my clearance calcs but these have a good reputation.

 

It's Power Tanks. I used stainless steel rivnuts from McMaster Carr with their wrench operated rivnut tool that allows enough torque to crush the stainless. There was a lot of movement of the tank on the thin tailgate metal so I used a can or two of 1" expanding yellow spray foam and filled up the tailgate behind the mount, being careful not to get it on the linkage. I left one weep hole clear for drainage. Made it super rigid and helps with radiant heat coming through the tailgate. Just be careful to cover any parts by the holes as some foam dripped on the freshly powder coated bumper and was a pain to get off. Still has a mark. Couldn't find another pic of the tank except when I was in the process of painting it.

 

What're the measurements on that 330w?

 

Merlin - FX72P 330 Watt Solar Panel- Low Profile Junction, Black background
77.4375 x 42.6250

 

I've got the 220 watt version on my Nomad and it's really great, seeing yours makes me kinda wish I had gone bigger, especially as my National Luna DC25 power pack can handle that much input.

 

I got the SOK 206ah Lithium Battery, Redarc Manager 30 and Redarc 1000 Watt Inverter. I got the 330watt because I'll be running an electric coffee maker off the inverter and charging my SurRon X off it as well.

Side note: I am super glad I got 4.88 gears on my Tundra. With the Nomad on, I was doing 85mph with the Tesla's coming up the hill on I-5 over the mountain towards LA. Sucked the mileage down to 11.0 on my mpg indicator though. Averaged about 13.5mpg averaging 75-80mph on the 800 mile return trip.
