I will add- i always drive in propane mode. It works great. Assuming you have your burner protected from wind.
If there was a source for a large leak right next to your flame source, or you had some very combustable material in close proximity to a flame source- maybe you could have an...
Watching this thread.
Just did a full overhaul on my Dometic in my Northstar. Seems to be working efficiently again. But I'm not trusting it like i used to :)
Im very anal about leveling it when bedding down for the night, but during daytime use while traveling we certainly have it parked...
Got the window mounted up nicely. Its not going to fall out or leak, thats for sure! Fabbed up a little outside shelf, decided to go with mild steel on the exterior. Plan to make a similar type shelf for the inside, wood. Still need to finish the exterior trim to make it purdy. But for now...
Your in the right place. Tons of info on this topic is spread throughout this forum and has been covered over and over again.
get a big cup of coffee and wear out that each function.
Your gonna love whatever one you get once you start using it! Welcome
Nice looking bumper.
You feel like that latch mechanism is vulnerable. Looks like it is sitting right about that place where you would either back into a rock or drop right onto it off a ledge? Or atleast i would :)
Upgrade time!
Picked up a driverside rear window rack from a company that makes FJC Equip. They've started making some 4th/5th ten runner gear too. But I'm gonna say they are not REALLY building it rig specific. Im not entirely foreign to working on and installing gear on rigs, this rack was...
Took an overnighter spin out thru N. Death Valley. Camped at Saline- epic as always. Drove out North thru Steel Pass into Eureka Dunes, hitting it right at Sunset as we came thru Dedekera Canyon. Gorgeous trip with perfect Fall DV weather.
Parked above Marble Bath, on our way out Steel Pass...
pics of the Rotopax mount and lock mechanism
Holds it tight, has not loosened with use yet. In this position- Tank is difficult enough to get to that i have no fear of it walking away, but can actually use it and fill it if i need to. Must lower window to remove lock. If i just have the...
Sorry it took way to long to respond. seems to be my MO :)
here is the Rotopax mount and lock i used. Simple plate mounting.
I like the rotopax tanks. they are much easier to fit places than the standard 5gal. jug. This one you are referring to in my pics is 4gal cap. I also have the...
Finally became so annoyed by the gigantic AC unit that we NEVER even consider using that hangs off the back of our camper. Inside and out it is in the way.
Yanked it out.
Its working, fully intact, and ready for an install if anyone is considering this AC option. PM me
Rough opening had...
Damn! thats scary. I let snow load on mine all the time, i walk on it regularly(to shovel it off). Never had an issue- yet. Love the aluminum cap style and have seen many a 4WC roofs fail/collapse up here. Bummed to hear your story is different.
that looks like a solid foundation, get it dirty!
you would not like to see the list of Yotas come and gone thru this house :Wow1: All good fun, passed on to perpetuate the Toyota line
:) i used to think this way too.
I have a number of buddies with FWC setups. They are just not as comfortable. Period. and they all agree. They are lighter, yes. But I've never seen someone with a FWC go somewhere i couldn't.
If i was running my slide-in full-time on the truck this...
these have worked pretty well on washboard Death Valley roads. Switched a few cabinets out so far happy.

Took a sweet and much needed shakedown run with a buddy. Test out all the crap i did recently.
Local trail that reaches up into the Highcountry of sierras, Fall colors are peaking right now up high so timing was great. Trail has plenty of firewood whoops, ruts and loose rock down low, then...
I did. It came from Missouri and had a touch of surface rust on it and was looking like it wanted to go deeper. So, in my OCD way, i got at it. Lots of work, but only really took a bunch of elbow grease and AC power :)
Hit those topics pretty hard and thorough on Pg2 of the thread.
We will...
then we headed off to the Tetons
