Congrats for buying a Partner! Best stove available. Period. I started with an old Coleman gas stove, moved on to a Camp Chef...and wound up with a Partner (I now have three Partner stoves). Everything else is crap. :unsure: When you are at camp, you might start a list of every little camp...

I haven't owned an FJ, but I think it would be a good choice. When I bought this Jeep it was between an FJ Cruiser and the JK. The JK won because the top was removable. For reliability alone, I certainly would have bought an FJ if they would have had a removable top. :) Keep in mind that I had...

I haven't been able to find a plastic case that is "just big enough" for my little Stihl...and I've really been looking! I went so far as to buy a standard Stihl plastic case, brought it home, loaded it up, and tried to find a place to fit it in the rear of the Jeep. Didn't work out. Next I...

I've never been happy with the double-basket system in my National Luna Weekender fridge. A few weekends ago I decided to take out the little basket and put the deep basket on the bottom of the fridge (to keep bouncing items from damaging the floor of the fridge). This has made the fridge much...

It's a battery-powered Stihl MSA200 + all the necessary accessories (two batteries and high-speed charger)...at great expense. And yes, it dribbles bar oil all over everything. :) For now, my solution for the "dribbling" problem is to pack the saw with a towel under it to absorb the stuff that...

Puppies in action:

A trip a couple of nights ago. I decided to stay in a FS campground. Never going to do that again. It was a nice-flat spot: When I pulled out my expensive "biking chair" I found that it had fallen apart. Some nuts had come undone and fallen off somewhere. This is the second time that my...

I packed up for a trip earlier this week. Caught some pics of how I pack the rear up...in case anyone is interested. To the left from the rear: To the right from the rear: An overview from the rear" Behind the passenger seat"

I think it depends on if you like (and want to keep) your rig...or if you want an insurance company to buy you another one after a serious strike (sans all your uber-expensive camping gear). I hit an elk once at 70 MPG in a full-sized Dodge diesel truck. I had a bull-bar and went over the...

Let's keep this thread going. I've been daydreaming about learning to sew heavy goods for a decade or more and I think it's time to commit. Gotta take some classes first to learn what sort of machine I need though. From the posts above I realize that the methods learned from a "run-of-the-mill"...

What is the distance from the top of your roof rack to the ground? I'm still thinking about this tent, but I need to figure out if the vestibule would reach the ground when on top of my rig. I already have a Globetrotter, and I love it. But it's mounted on a trailer and I don't like pulling a...

It is the second season that I've been using my Alu-Cab Shadow Awning and I love it. Certainly the best money I've spent on my rig (after the RTT). While putting it away this morning I noticed that it is beginning to accumulate a bit of tree sap and other sticky crap on the top of the awning. I...

How on earth did you do that? Can you snap a pic for me? I've thought about that since I have quick-release propane connectors on everything else, but the Partner fitting looks to be proprietary.

So, the seller has lowered this to $600.00, and I think I might be able to grab it for less. I emailed the seller and it turns out it's a Singer 7-31. I found this on the interwebs: Given this new info...what do the experts here think? I don't really intend to do any leather work, but I've...

Very nice. Their site says it's light too at 130 lbs. Too bad it is either too short or too wide for my rig...depending on model.

I feel for the guy. If it had happened to me I'd be furious too. We had been considering a Colorado and now, we aren't. So, the fellow was pulling a 2100 lbs. trailer with nearly 400 lbs. of tongue weight (if I recall correctly). Doesn't that seem like a lot of tongue weight? I would have tried...

I'm glad that someone is getting some use out of this thread. (y) Like you, I think that 2-doors are the only "real" Jeeps, but yes, I would have to say that the 4-door is more practical. If you intend to use one for camping or traveling, there is only one real question: Will anyone ever go...

I'm hunting around for a new RTT this winter and your rig interests me. Do you have a website with the usual infos? Are they available for purchase yet?

I wonder if you two are running different regulators? Does it ship with it's own regulator? Or do you have to pick one up on your own?

That is the one I bought first. It works OK, but once I had gotten it good and hot, it warped and became very difficult to fold and/or unfold (see also: fingersmasher). I've used the Camp Maid twice and it works great. Really awesome that the handle doesn't get hot during use. My search is over...
