At one time I had a nice clone Colt SAA but these exact concerns made me ditch it for a Ruger New Vaquero. I also went for SS for ease of care. No regrets.

I admire the “plastic bin“ approach to internal storage space. Neat & organized. Exceptionally well written and imaged offering. Good luck with your sale.

Carson National Forest, New Mexico. Comanche National Grassland, Colorado.

I loved the "through the window/door" photos. Many a morning I've peeled back the window covering on our FWC and just thought "how great it is to be able to visit here and see this"! It doesn't matter much HOW you do it...but the memories of travels like this will stay with you and your...

Good time for an update: The camper has been on/off the truck about 4 times so far, and I've roamed around on a couple of good month-long trips, to include mild/moderate 4 wheeling. The repairs have performed perfectly - no issues with the roof patch and the rear mounting repairs show no...

Thats a good observation. For a typical trailer the standard exposed plastic box on the front rails is likely not the best location for your lithium batteries. A typical rig in hard winter use would normally be heated at all times to at least a minimal freeze protection level to protect the...

Just added "Garnet Ghost Town" to my "someday map". A great trip report so far!

Enjoy your retirement. This is a great trip report! Safe travels!

The sprinkling of these locations/finds within your reports is so enjoyable. Another "want to go" placed on my map. https://www.waaamuseum.org/

One tire/wheel that fits both trailer and primary vehicle is the way to go for sure. A fairly standard size for both is better than some exotic set-up. One or two spares is a choice to be made. You could also just carry a second spare tire unmounted to save space/weight. You could use one...

These two issues can make or break an overlanding/traveler set-up. Simplicity and easy parts availability make any problem that comes up much easier to handle on the road. Storage is always an issue in a small footprint camper. Storing your "outside stuff" outside and not having to...

The OEM Dometic LP furnace with the short section of flexible air ducting removed just behind the grill.

I run our FWC Hawk on one Renology 100ah Lithium battery. Prior set up was two AGM's that just aged out. The single battery now weighs less and provides just as much power at the former set up with a much better voltage profile for voltage sensitive items like the furnace and refrigerator...

Great star field photo! Best wishes for your battle with Lyme and the sale.

You got a great parking spot in Philly! Since you are planning to be up on your roof with your solar panel installation...I see you have just the rear roof vent/fan. I can only say having a MaxxAir fan over the bunk is one of the favorite features of my Hawk. Setting it to "intake" and...

Another fabulous report with great photographs! Have to say your reports have helped me as introductory guides to an area. Seeing a few sights/photos is all it takes to interest me for a future trip. I also think your trips show how folks can travel like this NOW. For sure the big 4x4's and...

Apples to oranges...but a few years ago my Tacoma had extensive frame rust in an area...apparently a design fault not allowing proper draining/ventilation in this section. There was a recall from Toyota about this and they replaced the entire frame on my truck. Two days in the dealer and...

Remember the old saying about teaching a dog to fish... Anyway, some thoughts: We rely on a 5' walking leash, a 15' tie out line, and a well-fitting harness. You want a couple of methods to control your dog's wanderings. Occasionally, we are in a location where a 35' rope line tied above...

Research your state code. This particular code section may not be the absolute final determining factor. Texas Transportation Code 621.206 A vehicle or combination of vehicles may not carry a load that extends more than three feet beyond its front or, except as permitted by other law, more...
