Think the top (blue) are on/off actuators and the bottom (red) is flow control. Thermostaic control is done with a balancing valve before the manifold. The air vents (top right of each manifold) are prone to leaking.

We have 10x10 + 10x15 pop ups + an awning. I'd give up both pop ups before I gave up the awning. The awning keeps the doorway/steps dry so we can take our shoes off outside and it keeps the outside cooking area dry. If we are loading/unloading in the rain we put the awning out. If the wind...

Huh? BC Highways are full of RVs and cars loaded for camping. There hasn't been an uptick in the back country because it will take people 1-3 years to figure there isn't a 1000' cliff at the end of the pavement. Buddy of mine sells vehicle parts. Sales for cheap camping roof/bike racks are...

Didn't realize that the skins are 3/4"ply .....you'll be good for 100years.

hmmmm....no king studs or headers...the corner and 2 studs support the roof = sills will deflect over the cripples....the framing will dry/shrink which needs to be accounted for in the sheething......might be better to go with thicker plywood and leave the wall framing out.

Pictures taken while hiking in Manning Park BC last week

Couple of pictures I took while hiking last week.

I can see grooves from it being used with cable but the square nuts means it is from a time when you'd keep pulling until something broke. You'll want to take it apart and make sure the pulley is steel and the axle is OK then you can size it by finding something similar online. The diameter...

Might try a welding aluminum couplings and running PEX through strain reliefs / bulkhead fittings vs. welding an aluminum pipe into the tank....worst case scenario with PEX is the strain relief/ bulkhead fitting may leak but PEX it is 100X more durable and easy to repair.

Stripping bark still works. I've been debating it. The blade will last longer but then I need to carrying an axe. Sometime it is more work stripping bark than cutting the tree.

Making a grey tank out of aluminum? For wirefeed 100% overlap is best on material less than .156 then back cut (gouge) the outside before welding. If the overlap isn't enough you can hold a pcs of stainless or copper on the outside to act a heatsink.

More trail clearing but on the 4th (off course the biggest) the 650 was binding. This was damp sticky wood so a wedge cut was made on the side with compression and then two side by side cuts on the hanging side which resulted in a 1/4" slice.

Might consider adding another pipe to the rack over the cab to assist branches sliding over the roof of the box. A rail fitting like this would allow it to swing out of the way

I got close to buying the lift Primitive makes but still wouldn't copensate for the gear/fuel I want to carry. Allot of the old roads I expore are only kept open with ATVs so I've decided that a used Tacoma would be best. One that I don't need to worry about branches dragging down the sides.

If venting is provide per mfg recommendations there is some heat through radiation but none from convection. Lighting an oven and leaving the door open will provide the the same amount heat and CO.:)

Put the stainless in a glass of saltwater and make sure it doesn't rust. Some of the stuff is really low grade. Copper is another option.

Yeah I'll admit I've arrived at the campground and didn't pay attention to 20++ amp load on the battery meter unit the next morning......think of all the propane I saved:) Being grossly oversize on solar& batteries (alarm set at 11.9V didn't go off) plus the extra 1" of insulation...

Guess I'm a little confused. I was thinking several would be produced (enought to fill 1or 2 40' containers vs. what I've seen before is 1 model is produced and shipped it in a partially filled 20' or 40' container.

People at Dinosaur Electroncis could answer the question regarding sine wave but all I used are sine wave inverters so there is no worries about plugging anything in. https://www.dinosaurelectronics.com/ Two years ago I bought our 600W Prowatt Xantrex with remote for $180.00 on sale.....98%...

May depend on the fridge. Our 8cuft has 300W@120V element. On 120V while driving down the road the fridge draw 22-25A of 12VDC through the inverter. I installed a separate 120V circuit off a 600W inverter for the fridge.
