    Well, I broke it.

    Not saying it's the case here, but in general I am amazed at how much time and money people will spend building or modifying something without having a clue. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    PSA: Sears Diehard Platinum Marine battery on sale

    I went to my local Sears a month or so ago to buy two Platinums for my camper. The sales lady was insistent I give her a vehicle type. When I finally got sick of explaining that it was for a camper she told me that there would be no warranty unless I got a deep cycle rv battery. I tried later in...

    Crazy Australians

    It's pretty cool, but that's crazy $$! You could buy a brand new 2500hd with a new Hallmark popup for that money. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    Anyone try one of these before? Rhino-Rack Foxwing Car Awning 31101

    That's a pretty impressive shadow considering the sun was not straight up. Thanks for the info and pics. I need to do some measuring. I really need the awning case above the rear door on my alaskan, so I can get in and out dry in the rain. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    Alaskan Campers

    The few times I called I always got ahold of someone, sometimes the person that answered could not help, but they told me when to call back. I ( me personally) try not to waste too much of their time, being that I am rebuilding/ restoring a 30 year old camper, not buying new. Even considering I...

    Toyota miles?

    I have been a Toyota guy since 84' and that was me driving a '74 PU. I have a Ram now for my truck camper, but the wife drives a highlander ( had to replace the altenator at 66k) I never drove any of them past 150k. It seems up to that point ( with the exception of the highlander)you can count...

    Alaskan Campers

    40+ Imported Defenders seized by Homeland Security Today (developing story)

    I'm not so sure it was ever about safety. If it was, all the vehicles with safety recalls would be parked. I have a 2012 Ram 2500 with a recall on the left tie rod ball joint. The recall notice says the part can fail suddenly causing the vehicle to lose control or crash. For 9 months I have...

    They were good, with very little prompting they are redoing the whole order. They are going to double box with more reinforced edges. Hope it works out this time, I am pretty hosed without it. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2
