Over Thanksgiving weekend we went camping in the California desert with some friends, It was getting pretty darn cold at night and we flipped on the heater and it flipped itself off. It was never able to ignite and we got by borrowing extra blankets. The heater had failed this way several years...

Recently we camped on a very uneven site and I needed to run one jack nearly all the way up to level the rear of the trailer. Also, the ground in front was higher than the rear so that jack was shortened to the limit though it still left our heads higher than our feet. All was fine until we set...

Recently returned from a friend visiting, site-seeing and hang gliding trip through Utah, Colorado and New Mexico and back to Cal. We lucked out and got the only open campsite night for weeks in Arches N.P. on the one day I needed it for the trip out. It's a great place to hang and hike if you...

Now that I finished installing a Ctek DC-DC charger into my trailer last night, I see a notice from Renogy about their new charger. If you already have solar with a charge controller, this looks like it will do the same job as the Ctek for less than half the money. Functions as a battery...

...is imitation. Maybe this site has been posted before, but these two built a nice teardrop that is clearly modeled on the Camp Inn. I have to say I always thought this was a better way to do the tables so that one is not in the way of the sink. Nice website too.

Anyone have a problem with weak gas flow to the stove? Sometimes, I'll start the stove and can't get more than a tiny flame out of it. After a long enough time, it generally comes up and works normally. Plenty of gas in the tank and all fittings are tight as far as I can see. All I can think of...

Last month we took a trip I've wanted to do for 20 years down to the lagoons in Baja where the Gray Whales go to mate and deliver babies. It's the only place on Earth where whales (or any wild animal, for that matter) will approach humans for a purely social interaction. Although single whales...

I just had to replace the battery after a little more than one year of use. We use a Dometic fridge and it has run down to the shutoff point several times but it sure doesn't seem like it should be enough to ruin the battery. When it was replaced it would only run the fridge for a couple hours...

Anyone driving a recent year Outback who finds the 4 cylinder too weak for a trailer?

Here are a few of the more interesting rigs seen at the recent Hurkey Creek Gathering near Idylwild, CA Hurkey Creek gathering

Got a sale flyer from REI yesterday and they have $30 off on the Alcove. Sale is this weekend, in case anyone besides me is thinking of getting one.

It would be nice to have a drawing or the dimensions for the "hockey stick" used to maintain the spacing on the refrigerator.

I'm just looking to put in a simple powered speaker system that I can plug an Iphone into, but with permanent speakers in the galley back wall of a 550 Ultra. I don't want to install the whole radio, cd business, just a mic jack coming out with power and volume controls with a minimal amplifier...
