    Mounted some Alu Boxes to the top of the fridge/battery box . I didn't want to drill down through the boxes and be able to remove them so I used Eze Awn Alu Box box mounts. I'll store kitchen stuff in in the P/S box and RV park stuff like water hose and extension cord in the D/S box.

    Be sure to go over your trailer before you leave. Have them test the heater, windows, vent, check the spare tire for wheel locks, door seal. Mine door is lopsided so only one side latches completely and it leaks. Mark says he will replace it when we head to Alaska. Be sure the fridge tray...

    What are you using for a coffee maker and coffee brand when camping/overlanding?

    Back in the day, I would make "cowboy coffee" . A # 10 can , bring water to a boil , a pinch of salt , a large handful of coffee and let steep for a few minutes. Tap the side of the can a couple of times with the pot holder to settle the grounds and pour.

    What are you using for a coffee maker and coffee brand when camping/overlanding?

    Webley Mark IV help

    Interesting thanks. Knowing it is a pocket revolver has helped in my research. I'm thinking the value is about $1100.00 No HKP or anything on the butt. According to a serial number search this pistol was made in 1943.

    Webley Mark IV help

    Any Webley gurus out there? I have a Webley Mark IV 38 with a cross bolt safety. Plenty online about Webleys and nothing about the safety. I'm sure this model is a civilian model due to the lack of any lanyard ring and police or military markings. Thanks

    Just did a couple of things to the trailer today. Added a magnetic paper towel rack to the fold down table frame. Mud flaps. I think it is just considerate to have mud flaps to try to mitigate the amount of rocks and mud being kicked up.

    I've always used a super siphon for fuel transfer. So you rest the water can on the fender when siphoning?

    Easy to just put wheel chocks a foot or so from the tire when moving as a safety. You can also use one wheel chock as a pivot the trailer .

    Knocked off a couple of items off the to do list today. Pulled the water tank drain plug and added a four inch threaded nipple and a 1/4 faucet. Easy to drain the tank and fill up water bottles. I also tested how I will fill the water tank from water cans. A Water Bandit and a Camco spout...

    I have Alu Boxes and a couple of Swiss links boxes. I did one box in thin indoor outdoor carpet. That , I think, is the best liner .

    Are you aware of a mod using the Arc with the pipe mount? The XO fits perfectly on that side. My factory jack will not fold with the cordless brake controller mounted so I could eliminate that jack and get the XO .

    2006 Ford 350 4x4 super duty lariat Survival vehicle - $24000

    There is a reason why it is being sold after only 22K. Probably weighs a ton with antique boat cabinets and mahogany throughout.

    The cameras are wireless and I am using the monitor that came with the kit. If you wanted to view both inside the trailer an car you would have to move the monitor back and forth. I don't have to see behind the trailer when driving or backing up...
