It's probaby a 549 cid. Woefully heavy for the power it makes. But built like a truck mill, as all Binders are.

Shock brackets are also available from Currie Enterprises.

It depends on what I'm doing. Last May in Four Corners, I rarely went more than a few days without one. I have a 7 gallon reliance jug filled with enough hot water from my coffee pot to make it pleasant, put it on top of the camper, screwed the cap that I've rigged with a sun shower head on...

I'll second that, so long as you're willing to carry a spare bulb and plenty of batteries. My Sure Fire is great; people that I camp with joke that I could weld with it. But the bulbs and batteries aren't cheap or easy to get, so I carry my own spares. That's normal, though.

Viggen, This is a great single burner campstove, likely better than the one you have, and a great deal. I have one just like it. The only problem I've had with it was when I was using a wok on it and bent the shield below the burner. Those $.02 are free.

Nice pistol. Have you slept with it yet? :elkgrin:

Looks like you're right. Adding a York pump isn't that hard if you have room though.

I'm a Ford guy, and I think that's sweet.

I converted a York style A/C compressor to an air compressor; it was pretty easy. Try Kilby Offroad.

Mark, Could you use a length of coiled wire (similar to a telephone cord) and mount the plug in to the drawer itself?

Funny. They call it marine grade and include the worst wire connectors on the planet.

Interesting. One of my best friends is an insurance agent, and one of his customers pays through the nose for insurance on his camper converted bus, and it has just a couple seats. But different companies charge different amounts and have different rules. It just pays to check.

Great repair on the trailer. Just a little advice; most all thread at the hardware store is grade 2. If it's easy to cut with a hacksaw, I'd suggest that you change it out for regular bolts (if you can get them in) or a piece of B7 threaded rod. Great pictures.

I've never been a fan of wipes of any kind for home, but for camping I like to have Chlorox disinfectant wipes around. And a few baby wipes.

X2. Using one set of chains on a 4X4 is hard on the transfer case and axle. The axle with the chains on it has a taller gear ratio, and pulls harder than the axle without. It probably won't wreck it, but it's certainly not good for it.

Very nice, very useful. I love the low bling factor and the high usefullness.

Bend a steel coat hanger into the shape needed to hang it inverted, and use it to hang it up. OR, hang it by the shower head so it'll drain out.

X2. I built one just like you describe twenty years ago for the exact same thing. It was the cheapest screwdriver I could find at the time, and I've used it countless times. Built it to adjust the brajkes on my '70's Datsun PL620 pickup.

Both. I carry a 24" Stihl 036 and an Eastwing camp axe. The Eastwing is really for splitting kindling. You'd be suprised how tolerant folks can be of the noise when you bless them with a couple armloads of freshly cut wood. Better than a beer.

Thought I ought to post this up. I've been using a set for ten years now to store spare fuses, pipe fittings and crimp on wire connectors. The can is heavy, but unmanageable. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ZAA074-1.html
