    Congratulations on the sale. Oh, and if that Blue Heeler gets into that king size bed…you likely have about a foot of free space left for yourself! Mine is a bed hog!

    Rooftop insulation?

    Our Bluebird Wanderlodge had the entire roof covered with aluminum step plate. It was mounted with rubber strips about 1/2 inch above the roof screwed down to the ribs. No leaks. Could sit up there in chairs. Insulation value minimal …usefulness maximum. We sold it after 17 years…but now at...

    Tradesman truck camper and safari rack for 60" bed

    I really enjoyed my years "truck cap camping". That is a nice rig, especially the tailgate tent. Good luck with the sale.

    Margaret Holmes & Glory canned veggies & stuff

    Cast iron question

    I always do a light shot of PAM spray oil between pancake sets. Also watch your temperatures…easy to be too hot.

    The Boxio camp toilet?

    Two observations worth mentioning: The Boxio green biodegradable waste bags work great IF you plan to bury or otherwise properly dispose of them within about 48 hours of first use. They can degrade quicker than you might expect in warm/hot weather. When longer storage times are required…we...

    Thinking about a Pause

    Good suggestion…I’d even go further: if road access would permit the delivery of a decent sized shed or cabin. You own the land…build there.

    Spare tire carrier ideas....

    I lift/lower my 35” spare easily by using some rope & my recovery pulley tied to a rear step on our FWC with a soft shackle.
