It's good to hear from you again Jim. I'm sorry for your losses but you seem to have come through it all with a good attitude. Are you still flying? Dick

Does anyone else think this new WTW format sucks?

Ski there was a section of that video that had a big influence on my life. My grandfather was a chemical engineer working for the Wabash RR. His job was to reduce foaming in the boiler which was a major cause of corrosion. I have a picture of him riding on the top a locomotive filming the boiler...

Price reduced to $300

I'm jealous Graig. I've been thinking of going that way also for a comfortable ride but I've invested too much time and love in the old flat fender.

A friend of mine has two tickets for the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas, 50 yard line box seats. He paid $9,500 each but he didn't realize last year when he bought them, it was going to be on the same day as his wedding. If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place... It's...

A small camp fire was enjoyed by all on the first WTW rally in Death Valley near Teakettle Junction. Although cleaned up and buried in the morning it still occurred. The WTW Green Creek rally had a campfire in an unauthorized campsite. Some member nicknames were earned that night. What male or...

A couple of years ago we set up our tents just as it was getting dark north of Catavina and set off in search of firewood. The next morning on my bathroom walk I found our footprints from the night before with big kitty tracks on top of them.

Being able to form a thought or sentence without using the word "Like".

I can't stop laughing. I'm going to post this to my 4x4 club website. We have a couple of members that have gone this direction.

I have the 130L TruckFridge and added an inch of foam insulation to the top, bottom and back of the fridge. I would have done the same to the sides if it wasn't such a tight fit. I also pay attention to sun direction when parking and usually park with the back facing north in hot weather...

My Victron solar controller didn't like working with a small inverter and would shut off the load output.

Back in my working days we had a new hire who was making numerous trips south to move his train. I figured he had a large HO setup until I went to his house to see it. What he had was the Joe Douglass narrow gauge locomotive from Dayton, Sutro & Carson Valley Railroad. He had found it in front...

Craig I remember Al DeForest coming by my lab to discuss testing procedures for your container. Unfortunately I didn't have any equipment simulate a Grizzly bears strength or cunning. He did say to get certification you would have to go to the Fresno zoo and put a loaded container in the bear...

Complete Yakama system for mounting to Yakama or Thule tracks. Includes 78 inch round bars, towers with locks, Hully Rollers, Saddles and a boat loader bar.

There's a woman here in Goleta that has a FWC with hard walls instead of fabric. She said she needed the fabric replaced and found someone to do the conversion. It looks like it was well done but she lost the low profile of the pop up camper. I see this camper often at the beach and will get a...

I stayed at the site RickD has marked with an x and it is very nice. When we arrived it was the only site available so we lucked out. All the sites are very nice and you won't be disappointed. Probably the cleanest campground i've ever been in due to the lack of fire rings.

I had 2 Lensun 100W aluminum substrate panels fail after a couple of years. I wouldn't recommend that company.

I'm going to use this thread to pitch for the WTW rallies we have had in the past. I have attended 2 FWC rallies that I enjoyed and I applaud FWC for going to the effort to get us out and about but I have had much more fun on the WTW rallies. The WTW rallies are less formal, include a variety...

I had to fix those wires on my FWC camper years ago. The problem I found with the original wiring was that it was stiff jacketed low strand count wire that should only be used for static home construction. I replaced it with the most pliable wire I could find with a high strand count. I think I...

Try draining the water heater tank and cleaning out the deposits that come off the anode rod. These deposits get into the hot water system and plug small orifices.

I just returned from the Rubicon Trail yesterday. When we left Loon Lake Thursday morning the sky was clear and the smoke and fire were heading north. By the time we got to the springs the valley had some smoke and ash which got worse Friday. The caretakers at the springs who were in contact...

Ben, I can't give you the exact shipping cost until I package everything and take it to UPS with your zip code. After looking at the UPS online estimator it should be less than $200. I'm sure there could be better options for shipping but I'm no expert. Too bad we missed connections because...

I was told by an AAA contractor and my agent that any cabover camper is considered an RV.
