Hello, not sure if this is the right community but it's the closest I could find on Aussie.zone

I've been enjoying roadtripping in my Forester, but I'm contemplating whether I'd prefer to have a dedicated camper instead. I live at a place with only one parking spot for me, ruling out any caravans or camper trailers.

My main requirements would be compact (only as big as I need), sleeps 2 (ideally separately, even if it's a mattress on a table so mates aren't uncomfortable) and comfortable even in cold southern winters (down to 0°C). Niceties would be amenities like table and seats inside, small fridge, onboard water, cool if it had a shower.

So far, I've been thinking a ute with a slide on camper - my only real question is the solutions that have a pop top with canvas, would those be a pain in the ass to maintain and keep from ripping or degrading, and would they still insulate well?

Otherwise while I don't have much experience woodworking, I'd be open to converting a small van to a camper (there's a men's shed right next door to me that would help me out). I'd be open to converting the 2004 Forester, ripping out the rear seats, but I think I'd only have room for two narrow single beds in it.

My main motivation for this would be to have as an alternative to hotel rooms when I just want to travel a long distance and need somewhere to sleep, and I'd probably plan to travel for about 4-6 weeks a year average, plus the odd weekend camp here and there.

I've otherwise thought about a roof top tent with all the amenities like stove, prep bench, fridge etc. in the car but my concerns would be storing it out of the weather (wouldn't have enough room in my little room I'm renting) and insulation in cold temperatures. If those problems could be mitigated, I imagine this could be a cost effective option.

With all that, is there anything that I'm not thinking of as requirements or constraints, and other cheap options for what I'd like to do?

Hi guys

I have a Retina MacBook Pro 2015 13 inch with 2.9GHz i5, with Ventura on it using OCLP.

I have a StarTech DisplayPort to DVI Dual Link Active Adapter (DP2DVID2) which I use with my 2560x1600 Dell monitor that only has a DVI Dual Link input. This adapter works flawlessly with my work laptop, a Lenovo ThinkPad L14 via a HP USB-C dock, but connecting it to my MBP (using another adapter going from Thunderbolt 2 to DisplayPort), the built in display goes blank for a second, and then comes back but there's no image or activity on my Dell monitor.

If I boot my MBP into Windows 10 via Bootcamp, it works totally fine at full resolution, and the same can be said for a live installer of Linux Mint. Booting into El Capitan, Monterey or Ventura does not seem to detect my monitor.

I've got a couple images of System Information in case it helps: one and two.

I actually originally posted this issue to MacRumors but no one replied to me at all, so I'm now trying this Apple community, but if this isn't the right fit then I apologise in advance and would like to know where I should post this instead.
