This is, indeed, helpful. Thanks. This raises another question considering all of this stuff -- what kind of fuels do I really want to carry? My truck has a 6.0 liter gas engine. Does everything I want it to do. I have an older propane heater that I could easily rig up to heat the shell. I cook...

@dstephan This is super helpful. Hadn't thought to do the research and then calculate the draw versus available output. With the two barrel outputs and the cigarette lighter, I get 13 amps of DC output from my Ecoflow Delta Max. Still seems stupid to have so little DC output, but whatever...

I joined the fray. Bought a slightly used (or repo'd) camper from OVRLND last week. It had been sold previously and was spec'd with lots of doors and windows and stuff. The buyer couldn't/didn't pay in full and brought the camper back to OVRLND. Here's a quick list of how it is outfitted...

Well, I hope it make the new owner happy even though I haven’t done much with it in a few years… BTW, I always thought that first fly was especially cool b/c of the color options we had. Always reminded me of the colors you might see on a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado…

Well, I got over some of my laziness to post a few pictures, mostly as a data point for other FP enthusiasts/buyers/sellers. Here is a picture of my fly (two windows and four vents) in the pouring down rain. It was cold, too. Stayed dry for three days in that thing. Day four and it started to...

Yeah, this place has changed. Same thing happened on Advrider. It’s easy to be snarky sitting at your computer. Here a guy want to do some good for the community and gets flamed. Too bad. If you cannot use the stuff, no need to comment. Or you could politely request more information. Or offer...

It’s time to move on after many years of camping in my FP. Bought a Class C RV and prefer it to the FP. I must be getting old… I am selling at a very reasonable price for a few reasons: I want a quick, painless sale; it needs some love; I’m lazy. I helped SLO Sail develop the rain fly. So...

I sent you a PM yesterday re: the fairlead. I'll take it if shipping to 93420 isn't too much. It may even fit in a Priority mail envelope for $5. That Foxwing is a smokin' deal. I wish it were a passenger-side awning... Thanks, bb

Looks like a Burning Man Special! Groovy, for sure. bb

I have this item up for sale on AdvRider, too. But I don't really like the snarkiness of that site. (It once was a good site, but has gotten out of control in recent years.) So, I will take any reasonable offer for this gear from you all. If nothing materializes in a few days, I'll put it up on...

Not sure if they still do it, but Aerostich once bought these pants from Arborwear and modified them for knee-pad inserts, making them into m/c pants. I had two pairs and wore the hell out of them. Got my wife a pair and she rarely used them. Whatevs. They are a great alternative to ATGATT as...

These are really legit pants in VG to excellent condition. We got them for my wife and she has never really used them. There are pads in the knees and hips. Otherwise, these are heavy and seem to be well insulated. All of the reflective material is in good condition...and that stuff is the first...

1991 5-speed in Paso Robles,CA https://slo.craigslist.org/cto/d/1991-montero-ls-not-running/6505554163.html Funny ad: "Mitsubishi designed the Montero in 1983 to win the famous Dakar Rally, from Paris to Dakar...In 1986 the Montero won, and won most of the years that followed. 1991 was the...

Seems to still be available. Spoke to the owner. Seems like a nice enough guy. If it's not popular among Montero guys, I don't want to risk buying it and not being able to unload it if I don't like it...
