I paid $3.599/gal for regular here in Springfield, Louisiana. In rural, swampy, southern Louisiana between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, west of Lake Pontchartrain.

Hey, over here: Spring Sprang!

Spring (meteorological) sprang yesterday and I forgot! And yet, it does feel like it - here anyway, in southern Louisiana. But that doesn't mean that there can't be a lot more snow falling in the mountains. More than once the big ski mountain in central Oregon, Mt. Bachelor, has hit their...

I paid $3.299/gal for regular today in Ville Platte, Louisiana. "Ville Platte" is Cajun (French) for "flat town". (Never mind that that description could apply to most any town in most of Louisiana. It's because it's flat that the Mississippi and other rivers have so many meanders...where it's...

GOES-T, aka GOES-18, will very soon become the latest incarnation of my favorite view-from-space satellite: GOES West. If all 'GOES' well, of course.

It's $3.299/gal for regular here in Ville Platte, Louisiana.

That's ok, Steve. I thought maybe I had told you the story already, so you knew about my singed eyebrows. Folks on the trailer forum pointed out what seems to be a design flaw in the connection between the burner valve and the burner, a flaw which makes leaking more likely. It only leaks when...

Thanks, Monte. I gotta say I was kinda shocked when it happened. Not shocked just from the 'trauma' itself... but because something that I would usually discount as a low-probability event that only silly people worry about actually happened -- TO ME! This meant that maybe I DON'T live a charmed...

In my trailer last spring: A leak from a fitting on a burner caused build-up of propane in the cabinet below. The burner flame connected to the blob of propane in the cabinet, blowing the cabinet door off its hinges, burning my arm, singeing my beard and eyebrows and leg hair. The Suburban had...

This thread popped up in my research on this model of stove. I have now ordered one of these for my "other" camper to replace a Suburban model that has an explosive temperament. Ask me how I know about that "explosive" thing...

I've left my 2005 FWC Hawk outside in Bend, Oregon, uncovered, its entire life. That probably isn't good for the paint on the roof, but the solar charging system likes it. YMMV

I'm keeping an eye on the weather at home in Bend...brrrrr... While in the area I'm camped it's different. I've had the windows open in my trailer since yesterday evening. It is (would be) a nice temperature for paddling my kayak on the lake 50 feet from my door... but it's very windy -- too...

Recently I noted the oddness of Bend, Oregon being warmer than where I was in the Deep South. Well, the world is about to right itself -- in a big way!

I've been in pain in sunlight plenty in the West... when I was young and got sunburned. Back when SPF 8 was considered strong sunblock and 15 was Ultra. :rolleyes: Without sunburn... on a late-winter climbing trip to Joshua.Tree NP (decades ago) I was amazed that it could be cool/cold in the...

I paid $3.599/gal for regular here in Pensacola, Florida yesterday...and seems to be typical for the area. That's the highest price I've seen in months of wandering through the South.

Sighting in Big Lagoon State Park campground, near Pensacola, Florida: A newer FWC Hawk on a F250... from some state ... apparently, from one of those states that don't require front plates. (someday there will be a law... )

Cold and dry are different down here where it's usually warm and wet. Here in the Florida panhandle, with last night forecast to be about 30°F, apparently that's problem-cold. Yesterday a guy from the Florida forestry department came through the campground passing out these flyers asking...

Bend, Oregon, at 44°N latitude and 3600 feet elevation has a warmer forecast today than Ebro, Florida (where I am) at 30°N and 75 feet?!? Dat ain't right! Nosir! Dat ain't right atall!

I paid $3.299/gal for regular in Waycross, Georgia today.

Paid $3.169/gal for regular here in Summerville, SC today.

And what weather station are you using -- brand and model..?

Where is that cold snowy flat, SunMan?

Mr. 3pin, My non-joking answer had been, for sure, "I'll sell it". But local friend CraggyMan recently suggested, "Why don't you just put your camper back on your F250 and have a dedicated vehicle...?" That is, a dedicated pop-up-camper-carrying vehicle. Hmmm.... The main reason against...

I think that delivery time may depend on specific configuration ordered...phase of the Moon...etc. I was not able to order the Heavy duty package.

Me too. I almost never have passengers, so no need for a full-size back seat. But I do want in-cab cargo space. Thus, "Supercab".
