    Sushi

    Yellowfin - 56 kilos after bleeding and gutting. We cut the belly flaps off on the beach, and eat sashimi on the spot. The rest of the fish went to my pangero. M

    Custom built trailer - set up for long distance travel.

    Dan: My Airstream is fully functional, and is really a portable hunting lodge. I plan a series of 'improvements' that will take a year or two to complete. The OR trailer is about 5 years old, and is not pristine enough for use at shows and exhibitions. I am in the planning stages of a new...

    Got a Maggiolina? Can you check your light bulb for me? :D

    Dave After the phone shut off, I went to look. The bulb has no markings on it, single small filament. I can send one I have if you can't find what will work. Best solution I'v found is to replace with a 10 watt Xenon chart light on a gooseneck. Works like a champ and it's a good...

    serious maggiolina adaption - thoughts wanted

    Tony - there are no published specs. If you stayed within about 25 lbs. of the weight of the top, I think you'd be OK.

    portable propane fueled freezer/fridge

    This is as close as I can find on the Norcold site - 2.4 CF 3-way. http://www.thetford.com/HOME/Products/NorcoldRefrigeratorsHome/N260/tabid/207/Default.aspx These fridges when used on gas must be level, and the burner protected from wind. M

    portable propane fueled freezer/fridge

    Both Norcold and Dometic make three way (12V/120V/propane) reefer/frezer products. The 3-way products do NOT chill or freeze on 12V, they simply maintain a 'pre-chilled' reefer to keep it cool. In 12V mode they generally require about 18 Amps per hour draw. They also require a <1 Amp feed to...

    One heck of an FJ

    I looked at the FJC in that post pretty hard. I asked myself, "Where would I put my gear? Cooler or fridge? Kitchen Box? Duffel? The space has all been used by hardware of dubious value to normal use off-highway. I think it must have been built for picnics or for show. I would not trade my 80...

    serious maggiolina adaption - thoughts wanted

    Late to the party... No particular reason why this would but work... but I would be concerned whether the roof or the vehicle is the same material as the Maggiolina. If you are trying to bond fiberglass to steel or aluminum, they have different rates of expansion when the ambient temperature...

    Battery Maintainers

    I use the Guest charge Pro 2 bank charger/maintainer in my trailer. No problems in about 5 years, and it is ignition safe and approved for use on yachts. This means it won't set-off and explosion from Hydrogen off gassing or fuel vapors. I am using two 105 amp/hour flooded LA batteries to run...

    Best freestanding shelter?

    I have an MSR parawing and like it - nice and taut easy to set up and about 200 SF for shade and shelter. They also had a Outfitter wing that was bigger, but I don't know if they still have them. I sold my last ne a couple of weeks ago. m

    Autohome Maggiolina for tall folks?

    Longer Maggiolinas I am pursuing a 'special' Maggiolina in small and medium that would be 91" long over all. Deduct 6" for the lifting mechanisms, and you have 85" -- that's 7' - 1" long. I expect that there will be a modest increase in weight - perhaps 5 to 7 pounds. Please let me know if...

    Peek at the New Maggiolina Carbon Fiber

    AutoHome has just debuted the new Maggiolina Carbon Fiber. There are no specs, prices or availability available yet. The new Maggiolina Carbon Fiber is similar in profile to the AirLand and will be about 25% lighter and much stronger. I expect prices to be about 40% higher than the fiberglass...

    Eastern Canada Hunting

    I BC you need to hire a guide for big game hunting. Not sure about birds. You CAN hunt solo in Alaska and any of the Western states.
