    Propane stove piping - corrosion on the outside of the pipes

    I'm curious what is going on here since I live in New Mexico and humidity is a non-issue for us. I haven't delve deeper into this just yet but wanted to get some feedback first. This is a typical Dometic stove+sink combo unit. On a side note, the BTU output is rather dismal and I was curious...

    Help needed finding a trailer

    I'm also in the "stand up inside like a humanoid" category and that requirement will help zero in on the kind of trailer the OP is seeking. There are few kinds of "pop top" trailers that seem interesting because of the lower profile during towing is an important consideration for...

    Looking for a non made in china snatch block, Any recommendations?

    I don't have much to contribute to this thread except the name "snatch block" when it really should be "pulley block". Curious, where the snatch word got associated with a recovery operation that involves no snatching what so ever. :unsure: . My teenage daughter giggles every time she sees...

    Is there an "ultimate" tablet for Gaia/GPS?

    Welcome to the madness! You may want to go to Alpine's website to see if they support Android Auto or Apple Carplay to see GAIA maps on your head unit.

    Best Cheap Air Compressor for Tire Inflation at the Trail Head?

    *for use by others who forgot their own air, or as an emergency back up only This one eludes me, to be honest. If your own air comp is good enough, you can air them up after you're done. *Emergency back up unit No need for it if your primary unit is robust and made of quality. * Somewhat...

    Best Cheap Air Compressor for Tire Inflation at the Trail Head?

    Best and cheap aren't mutually inclusive. Either you spend the money on an air comp that comes with heavy duty cables and alligator clips or you get a cheap one that will get hot and die in short order. Which one trips your trigger? :) I hard wired an Air Zenith OB2 air comp and haven't...

    Post up your drawer/storage system

    There are some seriously talented folks on here. My storage solution is basic but very robust for my needs. - 10g water bladder under the second row platform which houses a fridge and a "snack" box with open top for accessing while driving. The water bladder implodes into itself, which keeps...

    New 270 Awning available.

    I LOVE when a fellow enginerd chimes in with data! I have some opinions on the Bush 270XT (not max). I think the rear coverage leaves a little to be desired due to the angle of the last rafter arm. It cuts the rear of my vehicle off at an angle and during rain events, the spare tire gets...

    Why so many negative YouTube videos about RTTs?

    Why so many negative reviews on RTTs? Interesting question, wonder if the reviewers' expectations didn't align with reality? Covid brought newbies out of their homes and away from their keyboards into the great outdoors. Unfortunately, they were shocked to find out camping ain't as easy as...

    I have a jump starter- should I still carry jumper cables?

    I have a dual battery system in the landruiser and I still carry jumper cables. I've had to use them to jump start someone else's car. One of the end of the jumper cable has been converted to hold a welding rod. This is one of those worst case scenarios where multiple batteries are connected...

    What are some of the best places in Illinois for camping

    I lived there for nine long years and found the nearest decent camping was in the U.P., near Escanaba. I'm not big on developed campgrounds with glampers everywhere so we had to travel that far north to escape the masses. But, the deer flies there were no joke, jeebus! IN & KY have really...

    What are some of the best places in Illinois for camping

    There aren't any, I'd move out of there. That's what I did :) You're posting in the wrong forum so you may not get good replies, except my ****************** reply. This is camping equipment forum, try this one maybe? https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/north-america.14/
