    Securing your trailer

    Nose Art. Greetings...Check out Auto wrap from graphic sign companies such as Sign-O-Rama. They develop the design images on a computer, print the wrap, and then cover the vehicle (or part of) with the wrap. Prices for the small stuff seems pretty affordable. And it's removable!

    Securing your trailer

    "Love the idea of an electrified TD. Riot. I'd try it just for the joyous chance of getting some would-be thief so fried he'd glow in the dark...but would more likely just melt my tires." We had some Electronic Engineering candidates who took great pleasure in electrifying doorknobs in the...

    Securing your trailer

    Yes, the HAM solution requires that the TD owner leaves the HAM radio "on". As long as the radio is "on", the target vehicle is being tracked. If the TD is stolen, Look up the TD location via the INTERNET and give the location information to the authorities. Some folks use APRS to...

    Securing your trailer

    Cary... "could this be done via radio rather than GPS? Tell us more." Oh, where do I start? 1) one must obtain an Amateur "HAM" Radio license. It's test consists of 55 questions, multiple choice. Morse Code is no longer needed. There is a lot of license test help available on-line. I...

    Securing your trailer

    Many Ranchers electrify their fences to manage livestock. Electric fence supplies are readily available from Ranch & Farm Supply...at least here in Northern California. One quick trip to the store and you're done. Or have Amazon ship. :):-)

    Securing your trailer

    Hi... Another option is HAM radio for the technically minded The HAM's have developed APRS software to track things like rockets, Hot Air Balloons, animals, sail boats, model air planes, drones, vehicles, etc. HAM licenses are easier to obtain than ever (like taking a driver's test for...

    Combo Smoke Detector

    Thanks for the info. We've experienced some random alerts in the past; but those alerts have always proved traceable to loss of power. Interesting idea looking at the Aircraft CO detector. I think I'll run a flexible exhaust tube from my street rod to the teardrop.

    Combo Smoke Detector

    Wow!!! 100% failure rate. I sure wouldn't argue with those findings. I yield to your expertise. I searched for a recall data; but did not find any. My experience to date has been positive. The detector Reset/Test unit displays as "OK". Given the data, I'll have to find a way to test. (I...

    Combo Smoke Detector

    Initially, I purchased the CO/LP detector and shipped it back to CampInn for installation. The unit was installed at the bottom of the foot wells. I hate the location, but the instructions say lowest point is the bottom of the foot well. The trick is to use a hiking stick to press the reset...

    Furnace Furnace Option - Needed?

    Dave.. Another option is buy a warmer sleeping bag. Normally, I use 20 Degree sleeping bags... and sleep on top of a Sleeping Bag Liner. For those really cold trips, I swap the 20 Degree bags for minus 35 Degrees bags. I have the furnace option. My experience is that I'm a much happier...

    water jug?

    I carry a couple of plastic tapered funnels which I purchased from a local auto parts store. The funnels are designed for pouring water, oil, ATF, etc. into an engine. I've not used the funnel many times; but when I have it's worked well for me. Insert funnel and pour in the water bottles...

    Furnace Furnace Option - Needed?

    Furnace may not be a required item, but it sure Is nice on cold mornings or evenings for that matter. I may have been one of the first to order for a CI Carbon Monoxide Detectors, if not the first. Our experience was a nearby larger generator that was emitting sufficient Carbon Monoxide...

    Cast iron griddle

    I have used the same double Grill/Griddle for several years now. Nothing but positives. Between the grill/griddle and a small Dutch Oven for gas; there are very few foods you can't cook.

    Easy Reach Toaster Oven

    Between a Dutch Oven and a Griddle/Grill there isn't much that one can't "cook". That includes hot sour dough muffins in the morning. My cast iron pieces are designed for propane rather than open fire. I do confess to carrying some cast iron heat defusers so I can lower the tempreture...

    Single cup coffee makers

    Hi, Frank.... yeah , can't get the burner low enough to "simmer". Even with diffusers, it's still a challenge; but we're working on the challenge I tend to carry the cast iron stuff. After all, if Sailors, and solders, and general folk have used the cast iron (Dutch Oven) for 1000's of...

    Single cup coffee makers

    Yo, Frank.... Thanks for the URL. Because I live only 10 minutes, I tend to visit the store rather than order via the Internet. I did find some items in the URL and not in the store. I agree Sportsman Warehouse is similar to Cabelas or Pro Bass. Cabelas and Pro Bass have more...
