Ack. This terrifies me. You're burning the same O2 you're breathing. You're basically relying on a $0.05 part to save you from carbon monoxide poisoning*. Yes, you can get away with it 99 times. Until you don't, then you're dead. *CO detectors are a very simple electric circuit that use...

Looks like Dave used Photobucket, who went and broke the whole internet with their money grab. If you're using Chrome browser, try searching for a Chrome Extension called "Fix Embedded Photobucket Images". It makes a small tweak in your URL fetches so it looks like any photobucket links are...

The other issue for extreme cold is all the ancillary RV "bits". Will you have any water or toilet system? If so, all that stuff (and I mean *all*) has to be inside the heated envelope. Otherwise, you'll definitely freeze pipes, etc. Visit the Sportsmobile forum for some good examples. Lots...

Since this thread is 4 years old, you might do better asking someplace with a higher density of Tiger owners. They have a user's group over on Yahoo Groups. We don't see a lot of Tiger traffic over here (which is a shame).

As (none) says, it's all in the spacing. On the road, we're a BMW family, having owned nearly a dozen between my parents and my wife and I. For most of those, a 5-speed manual and a 4- or 5-speed auto was plenty. In particular, the wife's E46 325i with the M54B25 engine and 5-speed auto is...

The eye-popping part of that invoice is that Quigley upfit runs $18k.

Cool story: Like most adults, my Mom eventually made the phone call that begins with "Come get the rest of your childhood crap out of my garage." I dutifully went over and cleaned out a bunch of crap, but also found a cardboard box with all my old Boy Scout backpacking gear in it, including my...

Where is your reading of 37A being taken? Is that at the panel in-feed, or at the out-feed to the battery? That rating sounded weird for a nominal "12V" panel, so I went at looked at their spec sheets. Not sure which exact model you have, but they have several that are listed at 17.9 to 18.9v...

Looks good, but begs the question: Who's going around dropping bombs on people's fire pits?

Holy Thread-Necromancy, Batman.

I used some of that aluminum table-rail stuff for RVs, etc. that I had leftover from putting the table in my van. The "wall" side is riveted to the side of my chuckbox, the "table" side is mounted to that aluminum plate, along with a couple of angle brackets. The main purpose for the angle...

This thread is worthless without pictures! Well, only a little, but I'd still like to see 'em. I've got a bag-style (since it's in the van interior), but I'm not 100% happy with it. Would prefer to find a good (but not over-large) FAK bag and load it myself...

Even high-temp hot glue can get soft at the temperatures that can happen inside a vehicle parked in the sun. Ask the legions of coplayers (costumed fans) at Comic Con, etc. who've had their armor come apart in the car...

Contact cement. Apply to both sides. Wait until it's dry. Press the two sides together. Permanent bond.

I kinda want a tetanus shot after looking at that ad.

Yeah this. In effect, all your cans are "grandfathered". Unless you setup a retail business selling cans and then openly violate the rules with respect to spouts, etc., you're in no danger.

Time to clear the garage! Astro/Safari van 2nd and 3rd row bench seats. Pulled @ 50k miles, look basically new. Make offer, I just need 'em gone. In San Diego - willing to meet you part-way within a certain radius, for the right price.

Was the TDI conversion done while it was in California, or elsewhere? If it's lacking a CA BAR sticker, it will make registering it here pretty tough.

Please do keep us updated on how the process goes. The Revel is damn good, but "not quite perfect" in our eyes, so I'd be curious about how you land on WB vs custom...

The other option for a single-burner propane solution is one of the (many) that is meant to be threaded onto a 1-lb bottle. I like to use bulk tanks and wanted a more stable platform than balancing on top of the bottle, so I cut a hole in an aluminum plate and have a removable mount on the side...
