I made a play list for hiking. It has music from Peanuts, The Cranberries, and Eminem. I call it my Trail Mix

Still got some!

Clearly a gear-head lives there!

Looks to me more like Powell Butte, but then I'm frequently nostalgic for that part of Central Oregon. Got the worst sun-burn I've ever had raking hay with a poppin johnnie one summer in Powell Butte.

Does it have a built-in regulator or one in the supply hose? If in the supply hose is part of it painted red?

Got pulled over in Chico, CA one evening on my bicycle. Reason: I didn't have a light on the bike. The reason why I didn't have light is because drivers are semi-predictable when they don't know a bicycle is there. When they know a bicycle is there I'm not sure God knows what they're going to do...

If the DC-DC charger sees that it is getting too hot it will start dialing back ("throttling") how much current it passes on to the battery(ies). This may be an active part of it's programing or it could simply be a function of increased resistance due to the conductors inside it getting hot.

Too hot and it lets the Magic Smoke out. Not quite that hot diminishes it's efficiency, perhaps severely. I'd get a temperature reading before getting too concerned. Even if that's a simple "Nope, too hot to touch" sampling.

I put the switch next to the fans figuring that they would be running pretty much anytime the fridge was cycling anyway. For a DC-DC converter getting the switch in contact sounds like the better idea. I didn't think of them as noisy, just that they had very effective Auditory Indicators of...

If it is getting that hot then adding stand-offs will reduce any potential for fire. So would adding a preferably aluminum sheet between it and the wall. I suggest aluminum instead of steel for it's very high thermal conductance. Doing both is probably overkill, but can't hurt. I used a Klixon...

Unlike the Pinto, which had sharp, pointy things aimed at their fuel tanks, that structure is fairly robust and smooth. Found a better pic of it:

Sorry it's so tiny of a pic, but this is what I built to carry two of these cans, and a bbq tank: Plugs into the trailer receiver hitch; in this case with a riser between them. It has a locking draw latch and swings out of the way completely to the left. I needed them on this trip, we jumped...

Ours go to Eleven.

No, mine are not that rusty. I'd think that any durable paint would be fine for it.

I'm really glad that it worked for you like they have for me! What I did, because it was what I had laying around, was to carefully grind the male threads of a copper union to fit inside the end of the aluminum piece that the screen is attached to. The union already had a short section of...

Eagerly awaiting your use impression of the nozzle.

Sounds like the only reason for the ground wire to the metal frame is to avoid an ungrounded metal structure that could possibly pick up some charge from static electricity etc. I'd leave it grounded with the wire that it has and quit worrying about it. If you have the charging wire functional...

Indel does as well. I talked to one of their techs when I surged our fridge.

I'm not Vic, but I'll take a stab at this. The main purpose of the larger gauge wire/cable between the truck and the camper is to reduce the voltage drop as much as is reasonable. A DC-DC converter largely, but not totally, negates this need. I feel that 4 ga. is excessive for 30A. I used 6 ga...

Likewise, the Isotherms that we have had were great too. A distinction must be made, our Isotherms were not chest fridges, they are built-in's primarily made for marine applications.

Data point of one in a portable size fridge, I've got an ARB that I've had for ~17 years that still works fine.

The shaker hose that I bought needs an unleaded adapter, so I've never used it. I've never timed it, but I'll estimate that the Swiss nozzle takes about 30 seconds to empty the can. Maybe 45 at the most. I don't particularly like handling fuel, so the faster the better, even if I'm not in a...

Not that I know of. I had to check periodically to get mine. One thing to note is that those Swiss nozzles need an adapter to work with an unleaded fill neck. I don't know of anyone making such a thing. I've made the one that I have from 3/4" copper pipe and some fittings. With just a little...

You're never too old to learn more. I'd take as much advantage of your employer as possible. I discovered a class on Orienteering at my college! My dad had retired and was pondering taking some classes at the local Jr. College. They have a Culinary School that he was interested in, but was...
