    Old Coleman stoves on e-Bay vs. New

    I have 2 Coleman 2 burner propane camp stoves. One from the early 80's & one from w-mart a few years back. Both still work awesome. Just used them last week. The newer one has the 12,000 btu burners, so it gets hot (boils water) a little quicker than the old one. I replaced the o-ring once on...

    2016 Colorado Diesel

    The reason we still need manual trans's is because (for gas engines) the gear ratio's in the autos are for mpg, NOT HD work. The diesels have the HUGE torque surplus to make up for the lack of proper gear ratio's. I see it every year when i go camping. 850 ft lb of tq to pull a 3500-11,000...

    Need an ultralight for a family of 4

    Check out http://www.starcraftrv.com/light-weight/ar-one/ . We just picked up an AR-ONE EXTREME 18QB. I had to "Heavy-Duty-ize" some of the interrior, mounted a 24" flatscreen on a full motion mount. They are avail much smaller than ours. Our 08'-G-56 Power Wagon does not even know it's back...

    Truck Topper/Cap Lift for camping

    I can't help but wonder what would happen if a storm rolled in with 50 mph winds & the topper was in the up position ? I am currently waiting on an ARE cap myself. I am getting the MX series. Solid windoors on both sides, solid panel in rear as well. Security reasons. Yakima roof rack, drivers...

    ARB Fridge/freezer questions

    So i can stay gone for a month or more. Plan on using campgrounds mostly but certainly not always. I want to explore many dirt roads. Thanks for the input everyone. I usually use welding cable when doing things like this. I used 2/0 gauge welding cable (& a 350 amp Anderson plug) for my aux...

    Truck cap questions....

    Thinking of getting an ARE Cap. The MX series. I plan on getting no windows in side or back. Just aluminum. I also plan on making my own bed slide. Questions: How much useful inside space do you really lose with the side toolbox option ? How HD is the toolbox/how much weight would they safely...

    Vacuum Sealer.

    Had a FoodSaver upright. Hated it. Wasted too much of a bag to make a seal. 3" were wasted on every seal. Now have this...

    ARB Fridge/freezer questions

    I am getting ready to drop the hammer (i think) & want to buy 2-ARB 82 qt fridge/freezers. They will be going in the back of our 08 Dodge Power Wagon, under a cap, on a home made bed slide. When traveling far away, they will be put inside a small trailer & pulled behind a Subaru Outback w/V-6...

    How you overcome disease when advanture faraway

    IMHO, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. You could discuss this with your Doc & see if he would give you a prescription-ONLY to be used if you meet certain symptoms. Using a water purifier, NOT an ordinary water filter, can make all the difference. Preparing & cooking your own food...

    NOt as good as the Aussie ones but...

    So, I replaced the cheap, crappy, super thin wood under the kitchen dinette cushions with some nice 1/2" thick finished both sides, birch plywood. Also added the same on top of the stock wood, that the mattress sits on. I then used the leftover wood to make a HD, super braced L-bracket for the...

    Opinions needed on new vehicle choice

    Get what you like. I test drove a Ram 1500 w/Eco-Diesel. I cleared the computer before test drive. A little city & 30 mile round trip---28.9 mpg. That may be my next truck, but honestly, i can't ever see getting rid of my 08' Power Wagon w/G-56 manual. I does everything i have ever asked of it...

    NOt as good as the Aussie ones but...

    NOT a real hard core off-road trailer I know. It will get us well off the beaten path though, in real comfort. Future plans: truck cap w/rack, slide out in bed, 2-ARB 82qt fridge freezers w/batteries. We picked it up yesterday. We love it. They were able to use our old hitch/WD system & sway...
