    Snow Peak Addiction

    And here is a silver right-side up. It seems like pictures from JP are using the silver bottles when upside-down (usually). US pictures of LI are using gold canisters (usually). Many US reviews of the LI Baja complain about simmering difficulty. I wonder if this is caused by Americans using...

    Snow Peak Addiction

    Holy cow...I had no idea that there were different "flavors" of fuel for these stoves. So, here is a picture from SP USA. There is no mention of "LI" on this web page. The can looks "gold" to me. And here is a different picture of what appears to be the "LI" stove. Mounted upside down and...

    Snow Peak Addiction

    Do you happen to know if any of that applies to the Baja burner? I've seen pictures of the burner in use both with the canister upright and upside-down. Are there two different models of Baja? I plan to use the Baja with the canister upside-down (mounted under the burner in an IGT). Does that...

    Snow Peak Addiction

    Thanks for the offer sir! Very nice of you man. As you pointed out, I won't be able to use any of the IGT accessories that need to attach widgets to the edge of the IGT because I will have a drawer slide there. This pretty much limits me to the Baja or the Giga dual (stove-wise). When you use...

    Towing with a 2 Door JL

    I realized that I misread your post OP, so I'll clarify a little bit. I've owned a 2-door JK for 11 years and done a bit of towing with several small trailers. Keep in mind I have the "first-gen" 3.8 liter JK motor that is notorious for being gutless. The 3.6 Pentastar engines do better when it...

    Towing with a 2 Door JL

    Towing 2000 lbs. in a 2-door JK is not fun. Towing more is ill-advised. Dealing with it once each year for a short distance wouldn’t be too big of a deal though.

    Official Test Results: Five Ways to Heat a Tent

    Nice to see that you are getting out to play. I've been toying with the idea of winter camping too (on the ground). The idea of a heavier tent with a wood stove sounds like it might be fun. Heavy, but fun.

    Snow Peak Addiction

    Thanks for the reply. The slots along the edge will make it very easy to attach the drawer slides, so that's a plus for the IGT although this would tie up the slots permanently. Honestly, the only IGT parts I have at the moment are the grill and two IGT tables. I like the modular aspect of the...

    Snow Peak Addiction

    Cool. I might try it tomorrow to make sure (get the grill good-and-hot). So, I'm finally going to commit to a 60-inch IGT pullout drawer in the rear of my van. I've owned one 4-unit IGT table and one 3-unit IGT table for a couple of years and haven't used them. To make the drawer close to 60...

    Snow Peak Addiction

    I have a question for you good fellows. Can I use the single Snow Peak charcoal grill in an IGT "all the way to one side"? Will the black plastic handles on the ends hold up to the heat? I'm building a pullout drawer for my van and would like to put the grill on the outside, then a Partner...

    HillBillyRV Build Thread - 87 Ford E350 Quadravan Pathfinder Conversion

    Interesting. Do you have a link to these EFI setups? My rig has an auto choke (filament-type) and it runs like a jet engine for 15 minutes when started cold and it burns up a lot of fuel. Would the EFI deal do away with the old-fashioned choke? If so it might be worth the upgrade just for that...

    XPCamper goes out of business, files for bankruptcy?

    My god! Those amounts make me realize just how poor I am. I hope the customers wind up getting something back.

    compact coffee maker for business trip

    Maybe she is involved with marketing a fabulous new coffee maker that is aimed at the well-to-do business-travel crowd and is biding her time for product presentation on the forum. It must be a revolutionary device!

    XPCamper goes out of business, files for bankruptcy?

    As others have said a hundred times. Never pay any more money upfront than you are willing and able to comfortably lose. I would think that $1000.00 would buy a slot in any queue for items that cost that much. What kind of deposits were involved with this company?

    Electric Chain Saw???

    Yup, 460. The MPG checking I did was about 13 but I'm not quite sure I believe that. I'm going to start using the van for going to the range each week and will keep an eye on it.

    HillBillyRV Build Thread - 87 Ford E350 Quadravan Pathfinder Conversion

    Today I removed the tent, roof rack, and rear rack from the Jeep. It's almost a plain old Jeep again. Only thing left is the onboard air (which will wind up in the van later). In three days the Jeep went from this: To this: Pretty boring now, but I'll bet she will go 75 MPH again. Looking...

    HillBillyRV Build Thread - 87 Ford E350 Quadravan Pathfinder Conversion

    That looks pretty cool. I have an Alu-Cab Shadow Awn for the drivers' side and it covers the rear of the van. I'm going to purchase another and install it on the front-passenger side of the rack to give me nearly 360º coverage. This should keep the sun out of all windows, keep it cooler, and the...

    HillBillyRV Build Thread - 87 Ford E350 Quadravan Pathfinder Conversion

    Stripped the propane, heater, and awning from the Jeep today. All that is left is the RTT, roof rack, and rear rack. Then the Jeep can be topless in the spring again and I can get going on the van.

    For Sale: Propex HS2000 in Adventure Trailers toolbox

    I have had a lot of PMs already. Here is some clarification. I'm in Montana. It looks like an HS 2211 is about $900.00 shipped, so I'd sell my heater and toolbox for that amount shipped CONUS. Keep in mind that this isn't a "plug in and use it" setup. There will be some light fabrication...

    For Sale: Propex HS2000 in Adventure Trailers toolbox

    I have custom-built a Propex HS2000 into an older Adventure Trailers toolbox and had it installed on my roof rack last year to heat an RTT. I am moving all my gear to a van and would like to have a Propex HS2211 (to mount under the frame). A lot of work went into my HS2000 setup. The ducting...
