Australia and the surrounding oceans do have some unique creatures. Steve Irwin (R.I.P.), “The Crocodile Hunter”, was one of my favorite nature shows. It was through his TV shows that I became aware of the deadly creatures that Australia has to offer. It’s definitely not all Kangaroos and...

I agree that a lot of thought has gone into the design of this trailer, but you cannot simply pull into a rest stop and crawl in a take a nap. Some set up is required first. The land mass of Australia is the size of the US, less Alaska. However, the southernmost point is as far from the south...

I'm interested in having both voltage and amperage information on charge and discharging the battery. With an AGM battery it is sealed and cannot be checked with a hydrometer. Over time an individual can observe the cycle performance better knowing both voltage and amperage. Bogart Engineering...

Randy, In a salt water environment I think you would be looking at 316L Stainless Steel. This contains 16% Chromium, 10% nickel, and 2% molybdenum. The molybdenum is added to help resist corrosion to chlorides (like sea water and de-icing salts). The L at the end of 316 is for low carbon...

Mark, sorry to hear that you and your daughter have a reaction to dryer sheets. Bummer. The camping guide information that I referenced stated that typically varmints (raccoons, skunks, possums, field mice) are more problematic in camping than bears, but that the dryer sheets were effective...

Randy, nice work. I assume you can slide the cooler over the mats on the storage bins. This will prevent long term scratching of the stainless steel surface. The following is a tip from a camping guide. "All animals hate the smell of fabric softener so bring lots of fabric softener sheets and...

I thought about this a little more. Switch and adhere the Velcro loop side to the stainless steel wall and attach the hook side to the baking mats. The reason is that the hooks might snag on a cooler cozy, whereas the loop won't. I would still make the Velcro on the stainless wall twice the area...

Randy. I wonder if putting small taped Velcro squares (hook) near the top of the stainless back splash and opposite Velcro (loop) on the mats to hold the mats in place would serve as a semi permanent way to keep splatter to the mats only. You could custom cut mats for the side walls too. Make...

Re: The New Flat Panel TV Looking up the SC-1512 there is a lot of "mumbo-jumbo" about the DVD player on this unit. It doesn't specifically say Blue Ray, but can it play Blue Ray DVD's? I'm hoping it does, since the TV is HD.

This forum is great. Thanks for setting me straight about any type of heater that robs oxygen from the cabin. With a delivery date in summer, I'm planning on going to Necedah in early-to-mid March to firm up all options. It will be good to meet up with Craig and Cary and see the workmanship...

I selected options when I placed my order with Cary, but I have been reading and analyzing the forum to fine tune my final selections. My delivery date is first half of July. I, like Randy, wanted to explore different options than a Camp-Inn furnace. Discussion in this topic has convinced me...

Re: does anyone own a 2013 subaru impreza sport? I did a search on etrailer.com and found that an aftermarket product by Curt only offers a Class I hitch for the 2013 Subaru Impreza. As you pointed out, a Class I hitch only accepts an 1-1/4" receiver. The manner required for a structural...

I don't know why I thought you were connected to the tow vehicle. Obviously if you went to have the cable repaired, then it wasn't connected to the car. My Bad!

Question for the sparkies (electrical types) out there. Steve made the comment that the battery charger is susceptible to failure when charging from the tow vehicle. Am I correct that a solar panel could do the same thing? What about the controller that is part of the solar connection array...

Great news. Glad everyone is doing well.

Okay, so it's been like 8 hours since your post. Is the expected little one a boy, girl, or surprise? Of course, the most important issue is best health wishes to baby and mother. Jay has some more time to perfect the conversion from couch to bunk bed for adventures with grandchildren. Your...

It's not like the days of yore. Campgrounds and laws frown on dumping gray water (dish water / cooking water / hand washing water) on the ground now-a-days. Therefore, you need to contain the used fresh water for proper disposal. (No need to get into a discussion about how the gray water is good...

Beautifully made and a great fit. The idea of putting items that get used the most near the top of the storage earns you an A for efficiency school. The tung oil application highlights the poplar grain. It just pops!
