There are also bear fences for the outback. Which Is The Best Electric Bear Fence For Camping in 2025 I have one but never used it.

I was back packing in Idaho, Queens RiverLoop, and we met up with two elk hunters. They had taken their elk and were packing it out. They spared us about 30 seconds for a conversation because they had to be in their truck by dark. They were fearful of bears following them. We thanked them and...

I leave mine running in the galley. I seem to have more problems with direct sunlight and try to keep it shaded.

I have used the galley to lock trash. I have also used a locked yeti cooler. Some national parks specify locking the food, coolers, water bottles in the car, note that the car needs to-be locked, including the sun roof.

I have a CO2 detector in my safe room. I also have CO2 absorbers and o2 to keep the atmosphere balanced. If you get a “stuffy” feeling in the CI then you need to ventilate a little. I have had my CO detector sound off on its own while sleeping, no appliances running inside or out so I only use...

The grey water tank makes it easier to stay in compliance with campground rules on disposing of wash water.

I keep both sections outside the trailer and plug an extension cord in. Just like shore power. I do protect the batteries from weather.

CO or CO2? There is a big difference.

An old post from 2022 on my experience with a battery to run the AC. What Is The One Thing From 2022...

Older Honda 2000 generators struggled a bit to start the ac but the new versions work fine. I have a Lion battery set that runs the AC ok. I have a soft start on my garage shelf but never installed it as there were some reviews that indicated problems with it in a single a/c application...

If I want it partially open I grab and hold the knob to stop it. I have the fan installed in 2013.

I purchsed replacement leds at West Marine. They were a direct change. Instead of a red I went with a blue to replace the red incandescent.

Florida State Forest campgrounds have a longterm project to replace all single sex facilities with neutral ones, now wait for it: the neutral ones are for only one person and contain a toilet, sink, and shower. Usually there are at least four units in a building. They are now adding ac/heating...

I have a 12” hose with a shut off valve that directs the water into a collapsable water carrier. I then take it to the toilet or dumping station.

I have a post on another thread where I installed the Ark 350. Getting the mounted height just right is the trick. Your mounting plate looks great. After several tries I found that the mounting plate for the original jack worked fine.

We camped there last spring. The bath house was shared with the day users. When we went for a shower in the early morning a hobo was camped at the door. I had to act as a a “guard” while my wife used the facilities.

Many new vehicles with led head lamps have a control for lowering the beams when towing, but who bothers. It seems to me that Jeeps have the worst headlights for oncoming traffic.

I think the oldest temperature on record for Palm Springs is 1917. Maybe someone else had a calibrated thermometer in their saddle bag. Mssrs. Fahrenheit and Celsius developed the first “replicable” thermometers in the early 1700’s.

Watch out for the Corgi attack! Ours likes to sneak up behind us and jump on the back of our knees. It must be a herding instinct as it will bring you down. I keep one eye peeled for the beast.
