    NEW XO Trailer Jack from Ark -

    Bought the 1,100lb variant from etrailer.com but it won't mount properly to the 1.5"x3" box channel frame on my trailer. Looks like a nice enough trailer tongue jack but...not a direct bolt on jack despite being advertised to fit "...trailer tongues 2" to 6" tall". And the included mounting...

    Flexible/bendable panels are notorious for...not lasting very long especially anything to do with vibration; experienced failure of same < 6-months old. And the warranty wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. But, I did contact Merlin and I am curious about their flex PV panel...

    270 vs Standard Awning

    I've had my Fiamma F45 atop my UZJ100 for more years than I can remember. I went with it because it was super fast to deploy/put away, rugged aluminum shell, etc., etc. and it has not disappointed. I have rigged up my own canvas side panels for wind buffer & additional shade. Works...

    100AH Lithium cant handle start up draw

    Ok, maybe the OP has answered this question here or the cross post on 'MUD, and I just missed it; but what was the response from RELiON? It appears, to this layman anyway, the published specifications for the OP's battery should power the ARB compressor without issue. And, I also wonder, how...

    Looking for suggestions for 270 awning. Bunduawn?

    I had a #10 toothed zipper (don't know the brand...) on my then MSA spare tire mounted trash bag, which gets plenty of dust & grit from trail time, and it never failed; but the fabric eventually succumbed to UV degradation. The #10 coil zipper on the current Howling Moon spare tire mounted...

    KickAss Portable 12v Compressor Fridge Freezers for Camping

    I would love a 60/30 (or even 75/30) liter split dual zone fridge freeze...all the others are nearly evenly split between the two compartments and we typically only need about 50% allocated for freezer space (or a little less).

    Anyone know of a RTT size or custom order UL goose down quilt?

    ^ The best method for longer term storing of down products is fluffed and inside a large clean bag so no compression on the down. The RTT puts some compression on the down...tradeoff for convenience.

    Anyone know of a RTT size or custom order UL goose down quilt?

    We have a Feathered Friends for RTT & trailer I special ordered with nylon cover...got tired of trying to dry out cotton covers for all things camping. Its about 10-years old and even though well over a hundred nights in it...and being stored in the Columbus much of the time (yeah, I know ?)...

    Looking for suggestions for 270 awning. Bunduawn?

    All good points. I've found, over the years, YKK zippers are most reliable. I've already worn out the zipper on my Autohome Columbus main entry/exit door panel and it wasn't fun to repair. I've never had a YKK zipper failure; however Autohome doesn't utilize YKK brand zippers AFAIK. But...

    Cook Partner stove FAQ / Master thread

    FWIW, When I bought my PS stove support/table I purchased two different lengths of spreader "bars". I use the shorter bars with my 22" whereas when I had the much larger 3-burner I used the longer spreader bars. Not sure if they still offer different length bars or not. But they would be...

    Looking for suggestions for 270 awning. Bunduawn?

    When it gets dusty/dirty/wet etc., hook & loop isn't as effective. And its considerably slower to attach walls, etc., than a good zipper especially in the wind. I use hook & loop aka Velcro for many applications, I just wouldn't want it for this application. And, generally, bulkier.

    Looking for suggestions for 270 awning. Bunduawn?

    The Kinsmen looks ideal with the exception of using hook & loop to attach future walls (instead of zippers).

    That wouldn't work for me...the result would be super heated side of the vessel.

    Can I dial down the heat on my partner Stove

    I use a cast iron flame tamer atop my PS stove to lower the effective burner temp. https://www.amazon.com/Paderno-World-Cuisine-A1739021-Diffuser/dp/B0007T25ZC/ref=sr_1_27?keywords=flame+tamer&qid=1562505904&s=gateway&sr=8-27 Also note, the PS stove burner control knobs just need a gentle...

    Those new to Partner Steel stoves: No need to crank the burner flame control to off! A gentle hand...will stall the need to rebuild ‘em. And they'll modulate properly. No need to ask how I learned all about that ?.

    ^ I also have the Partner Steel stove stand. I ordered it with both sets of 'stretchers' to accommodate my then big 36" 3-burner PS stove and also 18" and current 22" stoves. Using the shorter length "stretchers" results in a smaller size platform but taller; longer 'stretchers' result in the...
