    Hello Conqueror Owners

    Honu, You're the man of the hour...I think folks are picking up on the whale of a deal these Conquerors represent. Coupla more questions... 1) Is there any way to put a little more tension on the tent's rain canopy? It looks kinda, umm, saggy in the photo above. 2) It looks as though the...

    Hill, Any chance you can take a nose count of the number of Compacts Larry has left and report back here? TIA.

    Hello Conqueror Owners

    So, would an even coat of CampDry or Scotchguard help the interior situation? One would think so....what do you guys think? Kinda hard to keep kids from bumping into the walls.

    My Conqueror and Rig!

    Honu, What caused the rupture? Ambient temps? Thin spot in the rotomould? Are the tanks common dimensions which would allow easy replacement? Thanks!

    Brewing Camp Coffee...

    Since I've lived with Spaniards for the past year, I thought I'd chime in with what they typically serve here in western Afghanistan. Cafe con leche - 2 shots espresso in a cappuccino cup and smoothed out with a couple of pumps of hot milk....excellent for breakfast Solo - 2 shots...

    I suspect you're the exception and congratulate you on your sense of interpersonal exploration. As a language specialist I can appreciate what you wrote concerning learning other peoples' languages. It has opened many doors for me.

    KTM 690 Enduro for all around

    Every high performance machine is going to require maintenance. Every machine has its peculiarities. The trick for me has been to learn the bike's peculiarities and then decide if I want to invest the time to deal with them. KTM has been, for me, a much more fruitful investment of my time...

    The trick is wanting what you have rather than having what you want. I think I'd rather spend all that dosh on other people as I travel. Imagine the joy of a new well to bring fresh water.... But then again, I'm a victim of my circumstances with a career where spending 30 days without a...

    New AT Chaser

    Boknows, I'd take pride in what I do, too, but I keep getting distracted with a bad a case of the ****s from the chai water my counterparts keep getting out of the ditches and puddles. I'll be home in December (hopefully BEFORE Christmas '08 unlike my LAD which was right before Christmas '07)...

    Building My Overland Tacoma: Plans, Progress, Perplexions

    For the life of me, I don't understand why folks want to slave their aux lights to their high beams rather than operate them independently as the situation warrants. Why is this a good thing?

    Stumptacos Home-made Camp Kitchen

    Actually, I don't think adding a sink and an outlet for 12v applications would be difficult or particularly expensive but I think it would start adding weight. Once dry goods and other kitchen supplies are loaded in the kitchen box, it will start to become a two-man lift.

    Brewing Camp Coffee...

    The other technique is to use eggshells. They're just the right weight to settle slowly to the bottom and essentially cap the grounds. The benefit is eggshells do not cool the coffee. Yeah, roger....salmonella, blah, blah, blah.

    Camp Kitchen?

    Ok, I'll bite. I would go a lot better if I could buy one of these from Luke. The Drifta is the cat's meow. I'm willing to pay the premium price for shipping. :D

    SnowPeak chairs

    Kermit chairs are what you want, I think. The quality is consistent with most people's expectations who enjoy design, quality materials and durability. They also have a slick cup holder available.

    Pick-Up Cabinet Concept Akin to Westfalia Cabinetry

    Hey Folks, First post for me. Already used the search function, too. Closest things I could find were almost but not quite what I'm after so I thought I'd start a new thread. I have a plan to build a set of slide out cabinets (left side and right side) for my '02 Tacoma. I'm debating...
