    Burn wounds in the bush?

    Our vet used sugar to pack the wound to prevent infection when a family pet had to have its leg amputated. It worked great and there was a full recovery (except of course for 1 less leg).

    Shoe bag for Eezi-Awn?

    Darn opposable thumbs! I bet that baboon looks silly wearing just one shoe.

    Shoe bag for Eezi-Awn?

    Unfortunately the shoes then still have to come through the tent to get to the tub, which isn't great if they are muddy or sandy. Hmm, maybe grocery bags to put them in first?

    Shoe bag for Eezi-Awn?

    One of our doors is towards the "patio" that is to say the roof rack, so we use a plastic tub with a lid to put all of the stuff that needs to go up at night; Mag light, juice boxes (in case the diabetic goes crazy in the night :elkgrin:), special bottle for other things etc. All that stuff...

    Any vendors here carry the Waeco Fridge?

    Bummer about the digital display. Our CF-25 that we just got has the digital display. However our Engle does not, so we got an indoor outdoor thermometer, ran it into the fridge, under the floor mat and mounted the display on the Tuffy box, so that I could keep a constant eye on it. (Insulin...

    How bad was that road? Really?

    Yes! This is so frustrating! I am by no means an expert, but have tried quite a few things. The first is to get as low or as high as possible to get the shot, some undercarriage showing often helps. (Noonday sun is the worst though because there aren't even shadows on the trail). On a steep...

    Cheap, comfortable mattress source (right under your nose)

    I know the memory foam works for lots of folks, but we spent a night in a RTT with a memory foam topper on top of the mattress that comes in the tent, and we were both tremendously sore in the morning. I would try to shift a little bit and the darn thing kept sucking me back into the original...

    Any vendors here carry the Waeco Fridge?

    Do you find that you have to keep the area around the vents very clear? I plugged it in in my car and it seemed like it was putting out a fair amount of heat. Of course I did ask it to go from 23C to -5C (which it did in about an hour, maybe less).

    Any vendors here carry the Waeco Fridge?

    Just received the fridge from americanrvcompany.com. Arrived in good shape, and once I realized that Dometic and Waeco were indeed the same fridge and stopped having a hissy fit, I plugged it in and it works great! $399 fridge $42 transit bag $20 shipping and insurance Cold beer... priceless!

    Technitop RTT, do you have one?

    No, no. It was new to us not actually new. And much newer than the old one we have. That's why it blew me away when African Outback said that they would provide us with a new pole at no charge. The tent had only been used a few times and was in excellent condition apart from the sand issue...

    Stains on Ex-Officio

    If the stain is from the oil in the salad dressing: Put a little WD-40 on the oil spot (I have one of the No Mess pens that I keep on hand just for laundry) let it sit for 10-15 minutes, sounds weird, but fresh oil will help remove set in oil, then use undiluted liquid dishwashing soap (not the...

    The Dish Washing Thread

    That's a nice sink set up. We have mesh bottomed camp chairs, so we usually use that for the drying rack.

    Any vendors here carry the Waeco Fridge?

    Bummer! I noticed that there aren't many vendors period. And the overall info available is a little lacking. If I hadn't gotten to see one first hand, we probably wouldn't have chosen it. (I know we wouldn't have because our Engle has performed brilliantly) Okay if I had done a search I...

    Any vendors here carry the Waeco Fridge?

    We have settled on the Waeco 25 for our Range Rover and I was wondering if anybody here carries them. I can of course find one on the internet, but would rather my dollars go to somebody I know than some random company. I started to do a search with the forum sponsors, but I am fundamentally...

    The Dish Washing Thread

    I have rules that I expect myself to live by, but most of them I don't expect everyone else to live by. There is nothing wrong with that.

    Green green green Colorado!

    Gorgeous today though and just in time for our local weekly street fair. We have Chris Daniels & The Kings playing tonight (though I must admit, I don't know who that is. :o) Headed out on trails tomorrow, so we should have some more green, green pics.
