Just do a polarity check. Why not just snip the plugs and set it up as you like? My panel had battery gator clips on them. Lol. I simply snipped then put my own plug. Whats the point of removing the wires and putting other wire on?

Just a note about tank exchange. It was a business model a friend studied in Business school. The tanks are never more than 3/4 full typically less. Due to transport reasons. But once they found people didnt notice this they dont try very hard to fill the tanks to the max allowed. As a result...

For big extended week plus long trips I think the decked out diesel Canyon for an interior level similar to the limited Subaru, diesel range and added load capacity would be great. The only downer is back seat space. If someone built a 4dr midsized pickup rig with a back seat like the 2010 or...

I see lots of rtts on foresters and outbacks. Forester looks pretty goofy and top heavy also its a really light weight Impreza platform. Solo trek rig sure but not a family rig. The OB from my experience would be about a 5mpg hit at highway speeds with rtt. Though most people migrate to larger...

I didnt see see anyone say they needed one. The #1 reason all the former SUV driving parents around me got one. Was ease of loading and unloading kids or kid. The #1 reason we like our Sequoia is the huge 2nd row doors, makes loading kids easy, even to the rarely used 3rd row. Having said that...

We've done pretty well with two kids vs 2010 OB. I will say the OB rear seat space is huge compared to the GC. We did lots of big road trips with our kids and infant to potty trained in big kid bed was the worst regarding added stuff!!# Once our kids hit zero diapers and sleeping in an adult bed...

Dont even get me started on our damn calendar of who goes where, when and by who. It looks like were planning a damn Mars Lunar launch.

Just for the record I'm a home office dad 99% of the time. My wife is the rat race CEO, CFO direct report. I typically do the daily hauling mornings and end of day. I have three vehicles parked here. 2 seater, Subaru OB and a Sequoia. The Sequoia I need to make an effort to use or it would sit...

First kid. My advice ask your wife what she wants to lift a kid and stroller into during her daily trek about town. I say this because what us guys think would be cool, is almost always the opposite of reality for the mom carting a kid around. I have two kids and there are 36 kids under 12 on...

4k wont get you a decent Japanese make in decent shape thats not 20yrs old. Go domestic and unless you live in snow country stick her in a mid sized 2wd car. I say this because your budget is really tight and you have a kid arriving. I have two.. If your budget is 4k before a Kid you wont have...

If your price sensitive? Also once your wife is transporting your kid safety is a big factor. #1 cost Avoid Volva er volvo, VW, porsche etc. Avoid the CUTE UTEs crvs etc. Get her a Subaru Legacy. If you want a 4x4 rig get one for your self. The legacy is cheaper than the OB and damn good in...

East Pen makes Deka. Johnson Controls makes Interstate. Johnson Controls typically has the best battery tech and assembly process. They actually were making a great battery but it was lasting too long so they backed away from it. The battery biz is all about volume and expected replacement...

Wow cool trip! Thanks for sharing

100ah capacity is tough it puts you into the higher priced stuff. http://www.batterytown.com/brands/interstate-batteries/interstate-gc2-xhd-6v-deep-cycle-golf-cart-rv-battery.html Cheapest option is probably a golfcart battery.

Check costco - you also might have your year end rebate. I just used mine Sunday

If you like the Legacy and are taking a loss if you sell it. Keep it. Hell for the first 2yrs we had our daughter we did all our camping and trips with the 2001 Legacy. Its cramped compared to the 2010 and newer rig with a huge back seat. By the way we tow a 900lb 4x6 tent trailer rig with the...

Summer months when teachers are out - rarely is a 4x4 really needed. Unless you snow ski in the winter and or live some place silly where you actually need to shovel snow. LOL

Funny enough the 2wd truck my parents had for 20yrs was replaced with a 2wd 1985 E250 Van. Bought empty only had two rear windows in the back doors and two short backed seats. We had a basic conversion done locally added a couple of windows, 4 chairs and a sofa. My dad scrapped the van in 99...

I like the midsized rigs because today I spend lots of time in crowded cities with tight parking. If you have a f150 already parking space isnt an issue. Go full size.
