I am suggesting only that users of public lands should be concerned about alleged illegal use of public funds, which is what the lawsuit is all about. Did you read the article about the lawsuit. I have been in contact with my two Senartors to make sure they are aware of this and hopefully...

Yosemite NP and Yellowstone NP are charging a non-refundable lottery fee to get a backpacking permit -if you dont get a permit there is no refund or option to apply it another time. The Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act expires in October 2023. If not renewed, agencies can charge...

I encourage everyone to read the article I referenced earlier: https://wausaupilotandreview.com/2023/02/20/lawsuit-alleges-recreation-gov-cluttered-with-junk-fees-seeks-millions-in-refunds/ A few highlights: >Last year there were 22,435 lottery applicants for a permit to run the Middle Fork of...

Have you noticed that recreation.gov has been adding non-refundable lottery fees to get a hiking permit? Here is one example: https://www.nps.gov/zion/planyourvisit/angels-landing-hiking-permits.htm $6 fee to apply and if you do not get a permit because the quota was reached then you lose $6...

Both rigs have likely been camped in a lot and should be usable for your stated purpose. I would be more concerned about roadside coverage if you breakdown in a remote area. Do you know what their coverage consists of? What are your options if they cant or wont get a tow truck to you?

This tool from energy.gov should help some. Map of all charging stations with filter for charging type, e.g. DC Fast, and for connector type. Read in some news source recently that energy.gov plans to add more features including number of working chargers at each location along with estimated...

More damning news: https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2022/10/rv-dealerships-think-new-campers-are-pieces-of-junk-too/ I love this quote from above: “It’s some of the worst stuff I’ve seen in 30 years,” said one longtime RV dealer. Also...

Agreed. I just did not understand why I got anything coming to the controller from the panel when it was not in sunlight. I now learned that indirect light can energize solar cells, just not very much.

To clarify, I measured voltage at the solar controller at the two wires that come in to it from the panel and are labeled "Solar". As stated above, that voltage slowly dropped over several hours after pulling into the garage. Just before dark last night it measured 8 tenths of one volt. This...

Not dark at all. plenty of natural light through windows to work in, but no direct sun on the windows.I will check voltage again after dark.

After charging 12 volt AGM battery with solar panel, voltmeter on battery terminals shows 13.13 volts. I pulled the camper into the garage and checked the Sunsaver 20L controller: the wires from the solar panel show 13.03 volts. After an hour, the solar wires show 11.6 volts and after five...

Can you set different temp for fridge and freezer?

VHB tape by itself will be adequate. I used it to secure a 22# solar panel to the roof of my truck camper with nothing else, no screws, rivets etc. the panel came with a one square inch leg on each corner and that is what the tape is attached to. I have driven it over 40k miles up to 80mph and...

Thanx.

what hardware did you use to make that side mount bike rack? looks like some sort of rail cap you attached a metal plate to and a fork mount for the front.

But that does not explain why all auto manufacturer warranties are bumber to bumper while RVs are not.

But why are are atuomobile warranties in USA always bumper to bumper, while that is never the case for RVs. Must be some legal basis for it. .

So are warranty laws different for the RV industry vs autombiles and pickups? I know there are a lot of state warranty laws. There is also the federal Magnuson-Moss warranty act, but I do not know if it applies to RVs. Are there are other fedral laws that apply to autos, or to RVs. I always...

If you got $87 to burn you can buy a document that maybe explains it: Performance Requirements for Determining Tow-Vehicle Gross Combination Weight Rating and Trailer Weight Rating J2807_201602 This document establishes minimum performance criteria at GCWR and calculation methodology to...
