    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Coffee? Now you’ve got my attention! I’ve really been enjoying that particular grinder, both for daily use and when we have guests and the coffee must flow and flow! The OXO has good uniform grinding, consistent from grind to grind, and it’s easy to keep clean. The hopper holds 12oz of beans...

    Lug Nut Torque

    I found this chart at etrailer.com - I think of them as an authoritative source. https://www.etrailer.com/question-75604.html

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Have a look at the AllStays web site. If I recall, they grandfathered in those of us who bought the app when it was a one-time purchase. Again, if I’m remembering correctly, previous purchasers continue to get lifetime updates.

    Check Out This Sweet Shower/potty Side Tent

    From reading through the web page this looks like a really innovative product with lots of cool features for CI owners. I don’t know who originated the flat/hollow metal bars suspending an awning or tent concept (Bunduawn?), but this is the first time I’ve seen it applied to an ensuite-sized...

    I Need Some Kind Of Air Pump/compressor

    I don’t know if there is some reason you’re thinking a compressor should have its own power? When I bought one I was thinking 12v from the car or trailer battery would be available wherever and whenever I wanted to use it. I bought a much older version of this...

    Time To Replace The Battery

    I believe deep cycle is supposed to be the higher capacity SLA/AGM battery type for lead-acid trailer batteries. High rate sacrifices some capacity so it can provide high cranking amps for a starter motor. Or something like that… On the other hand, not everybody needs max capacity from an AGM...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Ethanol-free aka clear gas is available in my region. Check out where the boaters or car racers buy their gas, you may have it available too. 6gal, immediately treated with sta-bil, gets us through 6mos of lawnmowing, chain saw, etc.

    Off road suspension modification

    Just for fun I tried a search for Aux Arc on the AllStays Camp & RV app. It’s there, but to find it I needed to google to find that it is by Ozark, Arkansas. It would be different if I was on the road and wondering “what corps cg is near here?”

    Off road suspension modification

    Anyone looking for a towable that could go most places an overland-modified 4WD truck/jeep could go should be able to find many options! In my region we have Oregon Trail’r, Oregon Trail'R - Beautiful & Rugged Custom Teardrop Trailers We looked at them before choosing Camp Inn. They seem to be...

    Off road suspension modification

    That would be a different camper! As I understand the market position of the CI, it will go anywhere a car or car-based SUV will go and a bit more. There are teardrops that are set up for four-wheeling on trails and overland - you’d want a heavier frame, perhaps a framed body construction...

    Camp Inn On Park Website

    Considering it’s the only camper or tent pictured, I think that makes your CI the official camping accommodation for the park!

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    I’m not using a fridge, only repeating what I’ve read & heard. Some folks use their fridge as a freezer. Maybe a few ice cream sandwiches, some cube ice for beverages, some frozen entrees. They also freeze blue ice or yeti ice, then use that in a cooler. Does the Dometic run down to freezing...

    Finex are local to us - they are machined after casting. GSI Outdoors is a major omission from the list above, offering: Raw aluminum dutch ovens Anodized aluminum dutch ovens “Guidecast” lighter/thinner cast iron “Litecast” is a new line I’ve not seen Another supplier of what is probably...

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    P.S. I just pulled a rando 12v electric blanket off Amazon, 50w! Yes, that should go about 30 hours with Ben’s batts and no inverter.

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    I think that’s a 1 LB. bottle that fits in the regular Mr. Buddy. The standard tank on a CI is 11 LB., and the big tank (which also fits the holddown on the tongue) is 20 LB. And I think you can feed it from the port in back with the whip from CI. Such a heater isn’t safe for inside a sealed...

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    Let’s talk power inputs and outputs! Shore power —> CI shore power input —> CI AC socket/output —> Solar Generator (sogen) charging input. Seems fine! Basically, you’re using shore power supplied from a campground power post or AC socket in your garage to charge your sogen. And maybe also...

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    If you dip into the electrical diagrams in the manual for your model year, I think you’ll find that the battery disconnect switch is on the load side only, meaning that the AC/DC charger is always hooked up. For those wondering where their manual is, it can be found in the What’s New section at...

    Pure Sine Wave Versus Modified Sine Wave For Electric Space Heater?

    Another benefit of a pure sine wave inverter is that they are the most efficient. Ultimately that’s good for a power hungry heater, whatever battery capacity you have will be maximized. 200ah of lithium does seem like a lot. Do bear in mind the lower temp limit for your specific batts! There...

    Considering Adding Solar

    In my calculations and planning I only see the “run under 50% state of charge” capability of the Victron Super Cycle batts as a backup to the backup (I *never* want to be without cpap power), and as helping with longevity. I never thought much of regular draws below 50%, I was more concerned...
