    Whats the best compact washing machine for fulltime RV living?

    We have been using one of these in our home now for about a year (not sure which one) , before, we had another Fisher Paykel which we replaced when the dryer (not FP) went out. We are using a FP dish drawer as well. Very happy with all of them. Water usage of these 2 is 73 and 61 liters per...

    Hot Water at altitude

    Yes, mine is in a trailer, so mounting was not an issue. So I remembered that I had a spreadsheet with all the items which went into my trailer build. The switch I bought is a Suburban 233100 sail switch...

    Hot Water at altitude

    The water heater is a Girard Products model GSWH-1M. I am attaching photos of the switch and sail, with the screen removed. I believe the switch is made by Cherry. Number is D41X. I bought very small screws in a kit from Amazon. Used nuts with the nylon inserts. Let me know if you cannot...

    Hot Water at altitude

    I have a similar water heater which I found did not work at altitude. There is a sail switch which must be activated by the fan before the burner will fire. The switch appeared to be very poor quality, so I got a good one. Then I got some .007" shim stock and made the sail 20% larger. Now it...

    Tool Overkill?

    Here is another way to do this, not saying it is perfect. I am attaching a document from Bolt Depot which on page 1 gives metric bolt head/wrench sizes for JIS and other standards. JIS is Japan Industrial Standards, so Toyota would be using this. JIS and all standards are updated as needed...

    Tex's 2019 GX460 build

    Recently I noticed a lot of chatter on recovery points, and wondered why. i have a GX 460 bumper waiting on install, so I looked for recovery points. There are none. ARB and Ironman, and some US fabricators are offereing recovery points as a separate item now. The ARB recovery points are...

    Tex's 2019 GX460 build

    The ARB Prado bumpers are stocked in the ARB Florida distribution center. As far as I can tell, all of the USA dealers have access to them. If you want the recovery points, which are no longer a part of the bumper, better place your order as soon as you make a decision, as there is currently...

    This content does not fall strictly into the stated criteria of either of the navigation threads on this forum, however I believe it is relevant info. I am posting it here only. National Geographic has apparently scanned all or nearly all of the USGS topo maps and they are available for free...

    Tundra relocation back up camera extension. Where to buy??

    Update: Want to let you know that the RSG harness has the exact same connection as the Toyota camera, and the other end is probably the same (they state that they are Toyora connectors), however the different colored wires are not connected to the correct terminals on the furnished connectors...

    Tundra relocation back up camera extension. Where to buy??

    This one from RSG Metalworks is for a 2010+ 4Runner, but if your connections match these, it should work. I am installing one now. The longer cable is very long. I think that the white connector is to plug into your factory harness, I will not be using that part. I am cutting the existing...

    Truck camping-looking for suggestions on organization and storage

    We used these reallyusefulboxes in our pop up camper. They happened to be the ones that stack (they may all stack, don't know) and had the channel under the lid for hanging file folders. With the camper closed up we stacked them two high and it was almost a perfect fit under the beds, and some...

    Help needed please with GX 460 slider options

    Thank you too Tex68w, I have looked at some of these, but you have thrown some new possibilities into the mix. I have read some or your posts both here and on Mud, quite helpful. I like the bump out at the rear, and looking for sliders with the “deck” or step plates on them, mainly to keep...

    Help needed please with GX 460 slider options

    Thank you chadwicksavage, I had time today to look at the build discussion video on the GX 460. You are correct, very nice. I have added their sliders to my “considering” list. Thanks for the help.

    Help needed please with GX 460 slider options

    I have been doing extensive research on sliders for the GX 460, specifically 2010 and later with KDSS. It is my understanding that these use the same frame as the 4Runner of the same years. however I can find only 2 sliders that are listed specifically for this vehicle: by Outpost Off Road ...
