    Lcd Flat Screen Tv In Subfreezing Temps?

    probably not Can Freezing Temperatures Harm The LCD TV In Your RV? | The RVing Guide granted that advice is old, so I'd check with the manufacturer as it is POSSIBLE (which is pretty much the gist of the article)

    Storage

    If the TD battery is charging via solar (and not plugged in to AC), should the fridge be plugged in to AC or to DC? (I have been assuming that DC/12V is the answer....)

    Storage

    I seem to recall that you could develop battery issues if you have your TD plugged in to AC (shore power) but your fridge is plugged in to the battery (rather than to the AC outlet). But I may be wrong about that..... -Al

    Hi From Northern California

    Hi, Hank. We are in San Mateo, but we have the 550, not the 560. But happy to show it to you . -Al

    Hello And First Long Trip!

    Thanks for the great pictures. Would love to hear more details. We have a big trip coming up, covering similar ground (Arches, Zion, Canyonlands, Deadhorse Point). Looks like you did a lot of pre-trip food prep. I wonder if that is typical of how folks approach long trips, or if that approach...

    We have not had this problem (though we have only experienced about 20 hours of rain, total, in over 100 nights)

    Canyonlands Campground (Moab)

    Thanks. And we don't need fancy shower facilities, though I would like something better than the rock climbing gym we went to in Las Vegas which had a dirty locker room and the shower was a weak trickle. But at least we were clean after!! According to our research, no showers inside the park at...

    Canyonlands Campground (Moab)

    Hi. Eastern Sierra, Nevada, then two weeks in Utah. I think we have no showers at any of the Utah campgrounds (though there is water and we do have a solar shower). We don't need a shower each day, but it would be nice to have one every few days, at least, especially since we will be active...

    Canyonlands Campground (Moab)

    Of COURSE the interwebs would have a list like this. Excellent!! And thank you so much for the link. (Now I wonder if the web will have a list for all the other areas we will visit....) -Al

    El Capitan State Park recommendations?

    Just stayed at Kirk Creek (south Big Sur) - no showers, no running water, but incredible views and great access to what southern Big Sur has to offer There is some parking on Highway 1, just outside the park, so it's feasible for a tent camper friend to join you at your site and park outside of...

    Canyonlands Campground (Moab)

    One thing that we are looking for (we take a similar trip in August): Where can you get a shower? The campground IN Arches has no showers. We've realized that we have no showers for the first week of camping, so we likely will want to find offsite showers..... (We will bring a solar shower...

    Southwestern Haul

    hahahahahahaha - I am guessing you don't know how funny that question is. After you search the forum, a bit, you will NOT be laughing with me. The REI Alcove's weakness is rain, but people have decent results if the legs are firmly staked, all the guy lines are used, AND by finding a way to...

    Ice Blocks for Cooler

    I think the advantage of the CostCo snack containers over the Crystal Geyser bottles is that the CostCo containers fit in the Yeti under the removable shelf, which is really nice. Of course, if the CG bottle is too tall you could just lay it on its side....

    Issue with Dometic Fridge

    Issue with Dometic Fridge

    I am not sure. It does take some time before it kicks in and starts cooling. Did you wait long enough? If you did wait, then it must be the fuse. Careful changing the fuse. My recollection is, I tried to change it and the plug fell apart on me and I didn't have a good sense of how to...

    Ice Blocks for Cooler

    Do you re-use the cartons? Are these the cardboard cartons? I would be concerned that those cartons would eventually hold a lot of bacteria which I likely don't want to introduce into my cooler. (But if you only use them once, it's probably fine.) I like the plastic bottles for this, better.
