Clean the chimney.

Another great TR. Congrats to Ted on his retirement, glad you got up there before everything got shut down. We had a May trip to the north coast planned. :( Stay home and stay safe. This will be over but not soon.

Just saw this. I assume FWC will be closing, sad. "Yolo County is ordering its residents to shelter in place for nearly three weeks in an effort to slow the coronavirus pandemic. The county and its public health officer in a statement said the order, which “limits activity, travel and business...

Have a trip to San Antonio TX to visit the daughter on hold. She is over educated, BS cellular biology Sonoma State, MS pharmacology University of the Pacific and Ph.D. microbiology from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She told us a month ago to get ready. Spooky that want she told us is...

I have drained my tank using the pump. Does not take long and I have checked the pump motor and it did not get hot.

I wrapped mine in R-13. Back is open, fan (now 2) in top vent, I pull air under the fridge to cool coils.

When I did my shell build out I was going to go without vents. Talking to Stan at FWC he said you need a vent, they did on with out and had problems. I have two exhaust fans that run off a thermostat, help with how well the DC fridge works. I only have a top vent.

Damn this could cost me money. I still have the two inside struts, they work so I have not changed to outside. I use the speaker jack in the front as I added 250w of solar. Going to wait and see how they work out. Two may work to lift the top. I have always lifted the back first and then the...

FYI for putting ice cream in the freezer. Find Talenti Gelato in the plastic jar with screw on top. They fit layed on their side. Tastes great too.

Depends on how you use it. Power draw difference if full would be very little. Storage is the trade off. We really like the storage over the fridge. We do need to stop and refill the fridge, but we do not stay in one place for a long time. If you are staying for a week in one place I would get...

I used a Waeco in my build (2013), it is now named Dometic. I only added the a top vent to the fridge area. I have added a fan that is controlled by a thermostat. I have 250w on the roof and my two original AGM batteries. This setup will run continuously. I would never go back to the propane I...

My 2005 Tundra will not last for ever but will last a long time. I went with a Hawk so I could move to a 3/4 ton if I tired of my Tundra. I understand if you will be going to midsize truck wanting a smaller camper. I really would not be happy with a camper smaller than the Hawk.

"Best" is nice but at what cost. The Battle Born 100 amp is $949 The Amazon AGM 100 amp is $180. Need two of the AGM to get 100 usable amps so $360 total. So $589 to go to LiFePO. Yes I know they will weigh 90 pounds more. And there are other advantages to Lithium. You also need to have a...

Sounds like great service from TF.

Another one saying the AZ Desert Museum is a must see. I learned a lot there.

We have good friends who are building a house in Oracle AZ and will be moving there in a few months. I sent them your report. Bill

Get on Skyline Drive in Front Royal, VA and enjoy a great road and scenery driving south. In Front Royal stop at Spelunker's 116 South St, Front Royal, VA 22630. One of the best hamburgers and frozen custard I have had. We did the drive in March, south to north and found most of the...

Another great TR. We may add Kartcher Caverns SP to our Texas trip the end of March.

Trip repost added to first post. Also here if you want to read.

Just want to add have good trip. Let us know what you think of Red Rock, I have not been there.

I agree on SOC but I have watched just a volt meter long enough that I have a good idea where my battery's health is. That and it is on solar all the time. 250w - Victron 100/20 - two 12v AGMs. My batteries are original to my 2013 camper so I have been watching voltage drop when heater or...

No I am just using the App. I do have a voltage meter that I put in when I did my build.

I have the Victron 100/20 in my Hawk. Using the output is nice to see what you are using. Victron also has a great Bluetooth app for your phone to monitor what is going on.

We had a great trip. Still working on my trip repost, but just finished a video of our drive of Titus Canyon. Death Valley has a power outage going on, enjoyed that the FWC did not need any hookups. Disappointed we could not have dinner at the Death Valley Inn as they did not have power. I...

Leaving on Tuesday Feb 4 so we hit the warmer weather.
