This is the key question. If it's ABS, Valterra makes a set of standard fittings that are meant to be welded (chemically) into their ABS tanks. They have extra-wide flanges so theirs lots of surface area to mate to the tank. I used these on my first water tank and they worked really well. If...

Right, that's exactly why I specifically called out extended cold weather camping as a separate consideration in the post you quoted. For extended cold, butane is maybe the worst choice. But, for a weekend getaway, where I can keep the fuel inside the semi-heated envelope (tent/camper) or warm...

Wowza. Can you keep a build like that all in your head, or do you need an assembly checklist? (I needed a list for my much simpler rectangular bags.)

That's the upside of a "small" shop - relatively low population density.

You talking about climb-through for you, or a dog? I ask because most of the camper cab windows I've seen are pretty small. Not sure a full-grown adult would be able to get through one, even if you tried to "eel" through on your stomach. Pass-thru for stuff and ventilation? Sure. Dog...

You didn't list your model number, but each fridge has a service manual which shows the pin polarity for both the plug and socket. Here is the service manual for the MT-60, for example. (See page 4) Here is the full directory of Manuals on the Engel site.

Looks great. Also, "Urban Flex Test" is the name of my Right Said Fred cover band...

In my experience, I mostly don't need to re-pump once primed, but if you have a small head-space (full tank), one might need one round of top-up pumping after the stove is running. More than that indicates a problem. But as I said, in the early-morning hours, I'd much rather use butane. Snap...

I hear you. I own 3 Coleman stoves and they're dead reliable, but pumping and priming just to get coffee going is for chumps. I switched to a butane single burner (the asian-market kind originally, then eventually switched to a "dual-fuel" model that also takes a 1lb propane bottle). In the...

It's more a problem that my grilling spot isn't always level. I always do my best before lighting up, but once the grill is hot, I ain't going to re-level it. If it's at an angle, the dogs keep trying to roll downhill, so I'm like Sisyphus with a set of tongs...

If you have the vin, you may also be able to use an online decoder. I know this works for Sprinters and a few other models, at least. If it were a GM product, I'd say to check the door-jamb sticker for RPO codea, but I'm not a Ford owner, so I don't know where to tell you to look.

I've used a similar setup (a miniature knock-off of the Snow Peak pack-n-carry grill) on and off. Works great with lump charcoal for cooking, or with small fuel as a mini campfire. My biggest complaint with the design I have is that there's no lip around the grill surface so you have to be...

My white linen table cloth will fix that right up! But seriously, every camp table needs a wipe-down before each meal anyhow.

You joke, but if I were using PSP/Marston Mats, I'd already have built a frame to just drop them on as a table top. Every tool that does more than one job is doubly valuable.

I wish either was available for a wider range of diffs...

Given how many USB adapters I've had to replace (because they either went bad or needed updating for various compatibility issues), I would never commit to hard-wiring USB sockets into my vehicle. For all the efforts by the mobile tech industry to create a "Universal" DC power system (USB...

Thanks for the data point. Yes, it's hard to overstate what a luxury it is for everyone to be able to access the toilet at 2am without having to put shoes on, etc.

Want.

That's a strong option. Walmart says it weighs just under 12lbs (not 4), but that's still lighter than my ~19lb Lifetime 2'x4' table. They also sell a square "card" table with the same fold-in-half resin style top that's 13lbs and 34" square (might seat 4 people better than the 20"x40").

But then where do you put the flatware and crystal? :eek:;)
