    Recommendations needed for battery cable connectors between truck and camper

    You can coat your connections with RTV to keep the moisture out. You can glob it all over the connection, cable crimps, etc. It will tear right off if you have to disconnect them later. We used that all over the tank especially wherever there was a high amperage connection like starter and...

    Why not use frozen water bottles for cooler for 2-3 day trips?

    This topic comes up from time to time. The OP's question is "Why not..." Well, it depends. Without getting into a bunch of thermodynamics and physics like radiation, convection, and conduction, just remember a few principals. Heat is transmitted. Cold is not. Water conducts heat 50 times...

    Help importing routes, waypoints, coordinates onto Gaia

    Storage Solution for 1/4 Ton Military Trailers

    Ha! I recognize that box!! It's used to stow the AN-VVS 2 Driver's Night Vision Periscope... The picture, below, is from an M88 Recovery Vehicle, but the box is the same that is stored in the turret of an M60-series tank. Why in the turret for the Driver's Periscope (great question!). It is...
