Read them and weep here. I know the NP may need the $$ but $70 per car ? During a five-month peak-season at each of the 17 parks, the entrance fee would be $70 per vehicle, $50 per motorcycle, and $30 per person. All of the funds would be used to improve facilities, infrastructure, and visitor...

I will be riding over Tioga, up 395 and back Sonora Pass Sunday. Bill's birthday ride. If you see an old fart in a Yellow Hi-Vis jacket on a white motorcycle wave. I wave at all pop up campers.

Part 4 my final report is up. Hope everyone enjoyed the ride.

Thanks for the kind words. Part three is up. Bill

Part Two is up.

lamp = load. So if you wanted to run something small when the sun is out. It will shut off if the sun goes away. WHAT IS A LOAD, OR "LOW VOLTAGE DISCONNECT" OUTPUT? Some controllers also have a "LOAD", or LVD output, which can be used for smaller loads, such as small appliances and lights...

Something a little different. Everyone has a passion in life, my first one was riding motorcycle and I have for over 50 years. My camper is a close second. Our daughter lives and works in Basel Switzerland and we spent the month of September there. I got in a week long ride through the Alps...

Last night, the kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug." They got up, unplugged the computer and threw out my wine. The little...

Great job on the video. Too bad the doom and gloom unfounded reports kept you from seeing the full eclipse. 100% far exceeded my expectations.

That came out great. Love to see what others have done to their campers.

Having eye bolts is best. BUT they are in different places. I had a used 2002 Hawk and found a used 2013 Hawk in Sister OR. Took the old camper off and drove up to get the 2013 Hawk. Turn buckles would not reach on the 2013 Hawk. I had to go to Home Depot and buy some screw together links to...

OK fess up who is at BM.

Has anyone tried the Solo Stove Bonfire? Looks interesting just a little expensive.

Another great trip report. Too bad Turnbull campground closes in September. We plan to be in the area in October checking the fall colors. Bill

Drove from Stockton to Oregon to see this once in a lifetime event. Report here on my blog. Note the difference between 99% and total is about the same as between me and an Olympic runner. Bill.

On my second Hawk. First 2002 was the short cabover, if it was an extended cabover might still have it. Sold it and made money on it . Found a used 2013 Hawk shell and built it our the way we wanted it. Now if FWC of ATC would to the Queen size extended cabover on a Hawk like the Flatbed has...

Just got back from Oregon and the total eclipse. I have some work I have to do tomorrow will get back to your questions on Thursday. Note, the eclipse far exceeded my expectations.

Lets just say it has crapped out. One of the AA batteries leaked. Yes I did go to long without checking them. If you have a 465 E you need to know if the AA batteries leak the fluid will run down on to the 9v motor. The VOM shows it as a open circuit, so shot. I took it apart and looks like you...

I leave Saturday. First night BLM camp above Weed CA. Next two nights Crater Lake NP, made reservations a year ago. Going to get up real early on Monday and drive until I see a good back road to drive up as long as I am above Redmond. Should be good.

All good advice above. I first put a 100w panel on my Hawk. Had to use alum angle to mount the panel to the tracks. Second panel I got a 150w panel and it was long enough to reach the tracks. Just used "Z" brackets quick search will find them for sale in many places. . Wish I would have done the...

My pass is getting worn, numbers hard to read. Going to get a spare for $10.00 when I get to Crater Lake on Aug 20. Cheap insurance if you ever loose your geezer pass.

On your heater read this thread on the heater's sail switch.

Rented a house in Carmel for a few days. The Hawk below has been parked around the corner. I left him a card.

Saw 4 FWC coming down Sonora Pass on Sunday. Waved at everyone, if you got a wave from an old fart on a white Ducati with a bright yellow jacket that was me. Passed a FWC flatbed model Sunday in Stockton on the freeway. Gave you a big thumbs up as i rode by.
