    List To Port.

    That’s it! Now I know why I began bumping my head after awhile! Also, cat’s out of the bag on SUV option.

    Anyone Go From A Van To A Campinn

    “50 Drive 55” was the Carter advice in the 70’s. It works but you stand a good chance of being pushed off the road.

    Running A/c With Generator

    I have a Honda 2000 and a 2200. The 2000 works but the 2200 is “smoother” on starts.

    Bear Question

    The Rangers will give you a ticket if they don’t like it. My cooler was only used for ice, it was double locked, approved by the Interagency Bear people. It was explained to me that bears just tear things up because it “might” contain food.

    Tire Replacement?

    This is what can happen when a tire ages out. The tread looks pretty good though. Replace every 5 years or buy a nice chair to sit in beside the road.

    Mattress Options For A Softer Mattress

    I replaced the campinn foam with a thinner mattress foam, added a firm bottom foam, and had room for a memory foam top. It all fits in the original cover with no additional thickness. Under the mattress I have something similar to the Froli.

    Camping Shower

    I have not used it to shower yet, but I have a 5x5 popup and a water catcher, for National Parks. I have used this shelter for longer stays. One panel can be rigged with a screen + opaque screen. My hot water is a Zodi stove top heater. The 1/4 of the interior can be rigged with a privacy...

    Tripod Torch

    It’s kind of interesting that Zodi, the maker of hot water heaters, had a similar device years ago. They didn’t keep it on the market long.

    Attached are photos of the Mr Heater fuel filter, that attaches to the 1lb inlet. It seems that Mr Heater replicates their proprietary check valves in the “Coleman” connectors.

    Mr Heater Buddy Connection To Aux Propane Port?

    A thought, The Mr Heater QD does not use a schrader valve, it uses spring loaded teats on the output and input fittings. The spring seems to be fairly strong and the two teats must line up just right. They also must be fully inserted to let gas flow. If one spring was firmer than the other I...

    Going for a stretch, does your short CI QD hose have the Schrader valve in the outlet? (Does it have the small pin like a bicycle tube)

    Mr Heater Buddy Connection To Aux Propane Port?

    I decided to make as close to a duplicate rig as you and give it a shot. I used the long CI QD to the trailer, the Mr. Heater QD(to the Big Buddy, but put a 1lb bottle connector next to the regulator. I attached the CI qd to the trailer, bled the whole assembly at the Mr. Heater QD, then...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    “Some days I worry I'm turning into Mr Wilson from Dennis the Menace...the cartoon version.”After retiring I began attending daily mass(equals a period of “mindfulness”). My personal prayer is that I not become a grumpy old man married to an old scold.
