    Sorry i didn't explain that properly- you just have to connect the exhaust hose to the xjack and leave it there. You don't have to hold it up to anything or do anything with it... the one way valve is in the exhaust hose, so if you don't connect it to the xjack then it won't inflate with OBA.

    In the pic above you can see the exhaust hose attached. I would prefer to just use a plug instead of unpacking the long hose. Again, not a big deal, just some extra work that id prefer to avoid. Honestly i think inflation by OBA should be #1 and the exhaust hose as a backup.

    Ok I see now! Ya a plug when using OBA would be the way to go. A couple members have already purchased this and I'm sure several more will so I'd contact them see what they say about the pad and the plug.

    I pack a 3' square piece of carpet. I normally wrap it around a set of camp chairs that are up on the roof rack to keep the wind from beating them to death.

    It's handy for use as a step when I'm camping with a bed made up in the back, throwing down as a pad for knees if working on something, it's good for traction, and it can be an X-Jack pad.

    +1 for ARB customer service. Finally got around to sending them an E-mail today about the cuts in the cover and they're sending me out a new one.

    He's also going to try and get the material specs (per my request) so I can try to spec out a better substitute for cold weather.

    And he also agreed with my point about having a plug or something for when you're using OBA, rather than having to unpack and use the long exhaust hose... so hopefully we see an accessory for us OBA guys in the future to eliminate the need for hooking up that hose.
