Try checking your battery voltage when this happens. If after running for several hours the voltage may drop enough so the fan doesn't run fast enough to engage the sail switch.

I'm running that same truck with my Granby. No suspension mods are needed.

I pulled the face off the cabinet today and found several passages and a couple of the culprits. I injected an oil based termite solution in the cavities and I hope this takes care of them. I'll keep an eye for droppings. I normally don't bring firewood when forest camping. This was milled...

I probably picked them up while hauling campfire wood in Baja. I'll take the cabinet apart so I can get to the infested areas and treat them. I should also take the camper off the truck to check the floor pack. It needs painting anyway.

Has anyone had problems with termites in their camper? I have found evidence of termite infestation in the sink cabinet in my Granby. It's hard to tell the extent of the damage due to the plastic coating on the wood. I have found damage in a couple of joints and uncoated wood areas and treated...

I just picked on up on Craig's List for $20. It was made for a tall Sprinter van. It fits a little tight but it works.

Mine were factory installed and they just butted 2 tracks for a Granby.

The only problem I've had with wind was not being able to lower the top when the wind was coming from the rear. Turning the truck around solved the problem.

I'll be at Draughtsmen Aleworks Thursday.

My relighter stops sparking as soon as the pilot flame ignites. I don't think the probe temperature causes the spark to stop. I'm not sure of the physics or chemistry involved but I believe the arcing is stopped by the flame itself and not the probe temperature.

Get one of those instant pop-up tents. Throw it out and sleep in your camper.

I hate sharing a trail with anyone that is using LED light bars. Maybe I need one of those grill mounted 50 watt CO2 lasers that ckent mentioned.

I'm probably going down the 1st week of March for 3 weeks. Last year Hwy 1 from El Rosario to Guerrero Negro was crappy but I heard it's better now. If you take Hwy 5 you'll miss part of that road. The road through Santa Rosalia is bad.

Ski you're generally correct but I think the safety shutdown device is in the tank connector not the regulator.

I looked at Sketchup and it seems easier to use the the one I've tried. I'll try it out when I have time and post the results.

One of our WTW members has asked me to build another set of High Lift jack mounts that I have made for several members but due to the difficulty of buying steel in small quantities and being lazy I have stopped production. I have offered to provide him drawings of the brackets to have them made...

You know you're old when the lady lying on the floor in the Life Alert ad looks hot.

I normally run 20 psi in soft sand and haven't had any problems pulling the Jeep back into the dunes at either Pismo and Glamis. You have to be careful not to make any sharp turns at that pressure. I have the Staun deflators but would recommend the ARB tire deflator tool. This will allow you to...

Craig, I too sometimes loose stuff under the tank in the area between the seats but can usually fish it out. I would not want to put a permanent seal in those gaps since I like to hose out the area under the tank to get rid of all the dirt, sand, leaves and other rust inducing material. I would...

I just got back from DC and it was as low as $2.75 in that area.

I find that my fridge runs more than normal when it's not completely full. I also keep frozen water bottles or food in the freezer since that's where the temperature sensor is located. The fridge will have a hard time keeping a dead air space at constant temperature as opposed to a large thermal...

I went through this LiFePo issue earlier this year and am happy with the results. I ended up with a Stark Power 100ah battery that has worked well so far. Even though it's only 100ah it's usable to 20% SOC so 80ah is available and it recharges faster. The thing I like best about this battery is...

Where's the beer?

Jim, I was at Bonneville last weekend for the World of Speed and found some competition for your bike. This bike is part of the George A Wyman Memorial Project. It is pedal powered with electric assist and a chain saw engine that starts a couple hundred feet down the track. It set a blistering...
