    Are there any good fully enclosed travel trailers?

    How do you like the trailer so far? Is it holding up well? I am looking at the Apex Nano 16t.

    New Bilstein Shock for 2014 Silverado

    Do they have the 5150 or 5160 for the front strut or is it just for the rear? I only see the 5160 for the rear on the website for my year and model.

    New Bilstein Shock for 2014 Silverado

    HI, I am starting to look for new shocks for my 2014 Silverado 5.3l crew cab 6.5' bed truck. I currently have a leveling block that is about 1.75-2" of lift and want to remove that and include the leveling in the strut assembly. I have been looking at the Bilstein 5100 as they are ride height...

    Smittybilt Overland XL RTT-New product.

    Sorry if this was covered, but can you leave bedding in the tent when folded? I'm thinking sheets plus 2 pillows and a decent thickness blanket. We are in AZ so not really cold but it would help. Im interested mainly to reduce setup and amount of "stuff" that has to be shuffled around and...

    Organ Pipe Nation Monument

    Since nobody responded, I figured I should update the thread in case anyone comes across it again. We left the visitors center at 11:30 ish and proceeded on the route shown. The roads are well maintained and could easily be be handled in a stock 4x4. You could probably get a crossover thru...

    Organ Pipe Nation Monument

    HI, I'm looking for info on the roads thru Organ Pipe National Monument. I would post in the Four Corners regional forum but that doesn't seem to get much traffic so I thought I would try here. Im planning to go from the visitors center to Ajo on the route highlighted in red and wanted to see...

    Deep Cycle Batteries - Super Start Marine (Oreilly's) vs Duralast (Autozone)

    Thanks for all the feedback. Anything over $100 is too expensive for the limited use they see. We have a generator and small too if the battery dies so its more of a convenience. Only thing it runs is water pump, lights and charges phones. If they turn out to be crap I'll update here with...

    Deep Cycle Batteries - Super Start Marine (Oreilly's) vs Duralast (Autozone)

    Thanks for all the insights. Since both appear to be pretty similar in warranty, and based on @dwh's response I will probably lean towards the Oreilly's (mainly cause of gift cards). If they don't last too long, I can upgrade later. I need at least one for an upcoming trip so just trying to...

    Deep Cycle Batteries - Super Start Marine (Oreilly's) vs Duralast (Autozone)

    Hi all, I am looking at replacing a battery and adding a second on a pop-up trailer I have. I want to stay in the group size 24 since that is what fits the box I have. I'm looking for any advice/experience with either of the two batteries listed above. I know there are "better" batteries out...

    Linktrac, thoughts?

    I've got a set of these. Similar idea but much smaller and lighter. Never had a chance to try them yet. I bought them for a beach trip as a "just in case" but had no issues. I figured they probably wouldn't make it worse and for $60 they might help. They are steel and seem like they would...

    Pop-up Trailer Batteries

    Hey everyone, I need some advice. I have a pop up trailer we use for camping, usually with no hookups) and it needs a new battery. I'm planning to get a Costco marine/dual purpose since our demands aren't too heavy. I have a 100 (maybe) watt panel I use to keep the battery full and we really...

    120v Air Compressor on Inverter

    Thanks for all the input. My thinking was it might be cheaper then doing a 12v on board air setup but its not really much cheaper (if any) when looking at air flow rates and install. I don't need alot of air right now so I'll probably get a single compressor kit from someone like Viair and and...

    120v Air Compressor on Inverter

    Any idea how many amps your inverter pulls to run the compressor? Where did you mount the inverter, under the hood or in the cabin?

    120v Air Compressor on Inverter

    As the title suggests, has anyone had any experience with this in place of a traditional 12v on board air set up? My thought is a small compressor on 120v is cheap and then you can have an inverter and compressor for the price of the compressor. You could then also take it with you to a 120v...

    Towing with U-HAUL Auto Transporter

    I just used one to pull a grand Cherokee behind my Silverado (crew cab 6.5’ bed, 4x4, v8). It was fine, wouldn’t think twice to use again. If your truck is big it’s fine, not sure I would try with a mid size truck. Just go slow and plan ahead for merging and braking.

    Bluetooth Android GPS to IPAD MINI

    So I have been thinking about getting an Android tablet for navigation, but I already have an IPAD mini without GPS. I was searching last night and found a few ways that might allow the GPS info from an android phone to be shared with the IPAD (Bluetooth and apps). Has anyone done this? I...

    2014 Silverado 1500 Retained Accessory Power

    I think most do. The problem I had was finding a good place to get a signal to switch a relay. Looks like Chevy made it easy with this blade, usually you have to use a wire tap or fuse tap to get into the circuit.
