    Best Real-Time GPS Tracking Apps

    I used both GIA and Garmin. The Gia app on my android phone is faster & more accurate than my Garmin 680. I don't use Gia for tracks or locations I want to keep private.

    Best soft shackles made in the USA?

    The pcs is 20' long. Looks to be 28mm. A soft shackle at 200% would be 200,000lbs. Way more than I need. I'll probably make a 9' strap with eyes at both ends

    Spring Mounts for Rail-on-Rail Subframe

    I'm no expert but my $.02 says the framing in the floor of the box + the length of the box would be something to consider.

    Rotopax / Fuelpax expansion in the sun

    From 60F to 100F the volume in an overfill 5gal tank will grow by 1/8-1/4 of a gallon. This is no where close to how much the tank expands when they are partially full. I've had sides of partially full tanks bulge at least 2".

    Recirculating Showers?

    Anyone watching that video should be asking if the tank needs to be cleaned what about the rest (water line filters pumps) of the system? Purified water does not sterilize. Verkstad has a good idea but one would have to make sure the filters do not remove the silver or copper.

    Rotopax / Fuelpax expansion in the sun

    Liquid expand less than the air so I overfill them. If they expand allot when partially full I'll vent them off.

    $1.75 million was used to research a recirc shower in 2012. It had a centrifugal filter..didn't take off.

    Recirculating Showers?

    You've got a good start but the inside of the system will be a breeding ground if there isn't something to sanitize the inside of the system.

    Recirculating Showers?

    CDC systems are cheap and easy to maintain + easy to store vs. the 6 figure system I've worked that need 3 figures in spares and when not used regularily cost 4 figures to repair after viruses & bacteria grow through the system.

    That's what the people with a billion dollar budget do. Wonder what a gallon of water costs up there?

    Roof coating on new plywood

    If the roof isn't visible from the ground then I go with 100% silicone roof coating because the stuff looks like hell. If the roof is visable then I'd used a commercial TPO or PVC sheet....might even be able to find a commercial applicator to put it on.

    Dometic 3way only lights on 5

    First thought was the thermistor inside the fridge but it couldn't be that if it works on 110V. Second thought was propane or but it stays lit on 5. Third is the display / control board If you are lighting the fridge....how old is it?
