I've never quite understood the pass thru. You don't use it while traveling do you? Craig: use's of pass thru. we travel with a four legged control freak (Bella the cat) pass thru lets the rear throne room stay cool or warm depending,which then makes the travel time tolerable . stopping in...

i always like it when people come up with new ideas.....but.... this is my 2 cents worth why i would pass on this unit. now keep in mind i am talking about expedition type rigs,not extreme rock crawlers etc. we loved our fwc on different trucks,factory 4wd always serviceable any where if...

reminds me that not to long ago charles manson's hide out cabin was torched,was a shame as we were up there a short time before it happened (golar wash area). we talked to 2 park service workers who were on their own time and money repairing the roof and porch so as to maintain cabin for...

i saw an article about the caverns being trashed awhile back,what a shame as that area has so much history. i posted a trip report a coupe of years ago showing a remote almost untouched mine in the same area. the whole preserve is a great place to get away and relive what is was like in past...

reading this post it reminded me of my ongoing distain for all after market water carriers such as jay put a link up to.i have never found a plastic water container that did not end up leaking. it seems like after a lot of use the treads wear and sure enough if you leave them on their sides...
