    Fleetwood Neon safety chains length

    I forgot to post a tip. My chains are a little bit too long, but you can adjust them just buy twisting them. The chains will knot up a bit and shorten, then clip it on.

    BougeRV 12V Portable Car Refrigerator

    I picked up a 53qt BougeRV 12V Portable Car Refrigerator as an Xmas present to myself, and I have to say - I'm impressed for the price point. I was able to pick it up with 2 discounts and paid $250. Oddly I did a search for it in here, and nobody is talking about it. I can run it on my 32AH...

    Cheap tricks and solutions - product modifications, DIY, or repurposed items- not on-sale items

    Com on people, I haven't been around for a long time, and this thread is lagging. I'm going to need to dig out some of the projects I did over the past COVID year and post them. Been rebuilding my boat, so I've come up with some new ones that could cross over to expedition camping.

    How to pump creek water 60M+ to hot water system?

    Refer to what dbhost posted and... Pushing water is easier then pulling it. So a VERY cheap and simple experiment would be to get a 12V submersible bilge pump for a boat (1100gph), a plastic 5gal bucket, (drill lots of small holes in the side of it to help filter out debris), and put the pump...

    Portable Bluetooth Speakers

    The Anker Soundcore has completely blown me away, and I now have 3 (they are that cheap). I have one on my fishing boat, one for my computer, and gave one to the kid. The sound quality is not as good as my Bose Soundlink mini, since it is not as punchy, but it does give the Bose a run for the...

    Used an old cargo net and put it around my spare tire to hold my wheel chocks. When I took this picture the chocks were being used by the trailer.

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    IMHO the KelTec sub 2000 is a purpose built truck gun or "tool". I went with a 9mm, because it is fun to shoot without breaking the bank and it has decent impact energy. Any pistol caliber ballistics are going to increase when pushed through a longer barrel. Compared to 9mm pistols velocities...

    Not a Gladiator fan (it is too big), but for the military, it is almost a perfect fit - stock.

    How can I restore this massive cargo box to it's former glory?

    Cheap possible solution. Hair dryer to heat up and remove the Velcro, then Goof Off to remove the glue. $5 Test goof off on a hidden part to make sure it doesn't remove the coating as well. If it does, you can polish the glue off...
