    Rugged food sealer?

    [/U] So, if i am working & my kid & wife are not, & she gives them the money to buy it for me---that makes my story "not straight" ?? Ok, sir, once again, I will agree to disagree. No issue with foodsaver persay---I think i can speak for many when i say, I just flat out hate wasting money &...

    Rugged food sealer?

    Yes, it does seal better with the thicker bars. I realize Cabela's does not actually make their products. Most of their stuff is also made in China. But it is usually made to a higher standard than most China stuff. I am a hunter & fisherman as well. I certainly do not do thousands of pounds a...

    Ram Eco-Diesel---Towing & real world mpg ?

    Looking to get some real world mpg from owners of the Eco-Diesel. What are you towing & what does it weigh ? Highway mpg ? Around town mpg ? Our camper is an 18" Starcraft AR One Extreme. It sits higher than a reg AR One, so a little more wind resistance, & weighs 3500 lbs. My truck gets...

    Rugged food sealer?

    Thanks for that. "As with anything with moving parts and imported, your mileage may vary." I have nothing but bad things to say about foodsaver. IT SAYS RIGHT ON THE UNIT "MADE IN CHINA". Mine is a V3420. Lifetime warranty means nothing to me if the product does not work properly. Been there...

    Best mug for camping

    http://www.stanley-pmi.com/store/stanley/en_US/list/categoryID.70151800 Lots of cool stuff here. I recently bought the 64oz growler & the 3Qt Vacuum crock. I can make an entire pot of coffee or tea & pour it in the growler. I pre heat the inside with hot tap water. 14 hrs later, when i opened...

    2016 Tacoma Camping Platform Build

    Nice ! I also have an ARE MX series cap on our Power Wagon. LOVE IT ! I made my own bed slide/underside storage. Working great so far. I made it from this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd1Sx_tldHs . It is also secured up front to the bed tie downs with turn buckles. Entire thing can...

    Rugged food sealer?

    No, not the 12v. The 120v countertop one. Horrible results. I have wasted enough bags trying to get good results to probably pay for it. The 15" one from cabela's absolutely ROCKS. You can use any manufacturer's bags with it & even zip lock bags (with the hose). All i am saying is, it is in a...

    Anybody use a Cabela's Pro Angler.........

    20 amp x 2 charger ??? How would one of these work for 2 deep cycle batteries---one powering an ARB 50 qt & one pwering an ARB 82 qt cooler ? Yes, i know it uses shore power but it would be plugged into an inverter during on the road travel, & shore power or a Honda eu2000i generator while...

    Rugged food sealer?

    My money says buy once & be done. I have a foodsaver. It works, but not well & the more you use it in a row the worse it works. I now have this one...

    Building insulated cover for ARB Fridge

    I got both my transit bags for free when I ordered the fridges 82 qt & 50 qt & also a free monitor (that was mail in w/proof of purchase), so they cost me nothing. Seems like a great option to protect them from bumps & bruises & chaffing of the plastic during transit. I did not realize they were...

    RTIC Coolers

    Does seem like a good deal. My only concern would be "is the plastic compound used in these look alike ones made up of the same compound as the real ones" ? I wonder this because a cooler sitting in the blazing hot sun, all day, on the back of a boat, or pickup bed, could cause it to "sag, get...

    Building insulated cover for ARB Fridge

    I agree, but i am not sure what the "point of no return" on your investment would be. Not sure if you would be better off building an insulated box to slide cooler into when in the vehicle, wrapping cooler with self adhesive heat shield or just wrapping it with blankets & a strap or 2. Neoprene...

    Building insulated cover for ARB Fridge

    I often wondered why ARB didn't use a little more insulation in their insulated transit bag ? If it is not going to be used to sit on, why not use something like this stuff ? Or is 2" too thick ...

    Building insulated cover for ARB Fridge

    Is this something you are planning on sitting on ? If so, then i would maybe make a wooden frame (as thin of wood as you can while still being strong enough to take the weight). You could even fill it with Great Stuff. Then make a fabric cover with snaps to hold it to cooler---kinda like one of...

    ARB Fridge/freezer questions

    Just a quick update & a little mod. They both work AWESOME !!! I LOVE these things. There is a lot of truth to the statement "once you have one, you'll wonder how you got along without one". So, the 82 qt has been plugged in to house voltage since the day I got it (except when camping-but still...
