    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Quikfire

    Cayuse I hope you enjoy it an get a lot of use out of it. Does anyone have tricks and tips to share to get more realistic flames. I rented one from a campground last year and the flame was pretty boring. I know with a gas fireplaces there are things you can add to make the flames look awesome.

    I did mention that a simple question was being asked. That being said, perhaps questions to determine "those restraints" should be asked, in an effort to simplify the answer. BTW, every drilling rig I've ever worked on uses WD40 Perhaps we are not "engineer types" but we get the job done.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Cooper ST Maxx?

    Based on the information I posted below, I would not use the revolutions per mile to calculate tire diameter. Nor would I use the tire diameter to calculate the revolutions per mile. That being said diameter is diameter. I wasn't aware that tire manufacturers were misquoting such a simple...

    That is indeed an interesting day in the woods and that looks like a scary climb even with fall protection.

    Yup, I'm sure this is the case. All the guy needs is a camera crew and he/she can start another reality show.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Improved Control Panel Teaser

    That makes sense. I never really thought about the way the pump pressure switch works. But now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense and is very logical. If it didn't work in this manner the pump would always be pumping needlessly all the time when powered. It only needs to pump while...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Improved Control Panel Teaser

    Rando, extremely nice setup. There is one thing I am confused about switch1 Red vs. Blue light If power is going to the pump it is blue If the pump is running the light is red This I where I scratch my head and ask... If power is going to the pump isn't it then running.

    How is the revolutions per mile calculated? My guess would be... by measuring the diameter.

    http://madworldnews.com/forest-ranger-hidden-cabin-woods/ I thought this was interesting and somewhat camping related, so I thought I'd share it. The amazing part is the cleanup at the end.

    Russ, From WD 40's website "if it moves and shouldn't, use Duct Tape if it doesn't move and should, use WD40 A QUESTION OF LUBRICATION Myth: WD-40® Multi-Use Product is not really a lubricant. Fact: While the “W-D” in WD-40® stands for Water Displacement, WD-40® Multi-Use Product is a...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Over Cab Storage For Privacy Tent

    http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/14010-eyebolts-installation-video/ The installer in this video mentioned a good 1/2" clearance minimum above the bed rails. He seemed content with the 3" clearance over the cab, but did not give a minimum figure. I'm assuming when they built that...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Over Cab Storage For Privacy Tent

    I think a barrel lock keyed the same as your other locks would make the most sense. It will keep honest people out and be the most convenient to yourself. Easy to install, attain and affordable. If you put anything stronger on there, all means is more repair to do if a true bad guy actually...

    I'd like to know who the other vegans on this site are. I've been eating a vegan diet for about 5 months now. I did it before for 2 years straight as well. Best I ever felt as an adult.

    Yup. Love them. Particularly when members can't come up with a consensus. ie. gas, diesel 1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, 1 ton best motor oil Ford, GMC, Dodge, Toyota, Nissan best product to seal roof airbags, additional leaf spring, 3/4 ton At least you can get an idea which way to lean.

    Mine too (but I still do it). It's nice to know I'm not alone. Sounds like we have a wonderful wives (they put up with us). Sometimes I wonder if this isn't part of it. Wonderful for engineering type guys as we typically love to absorb every tidbit of information we can in life. On the other...

    Thanks Ski. That is wonderful to know. Honestly I don't think I've seen that feature used. I love polls :) Once a few members start using it, others may catch on to the feature.

    That's cool. Good to know. Thanks. It's important that it is bootable for trouble shooting purposes. It also extremely handy that if your boot drive starts failing or fails, that you can boot off of the external until you have time to replace your boot drive. It also makes cloning to a blank...

    I hear you. I try to respect that my GF of 10 years doesn't like my long answers. I have no issues conversing with my engineer bro in great detail, we enjoy it, but I think it's important to know and respect your target audience. One thing that I think would be beneficial to a forum like this...

    Does this create a bootable image on the external? Meaning if you wanted to you could start and load the cloned operating system off of the external device.

    It's been over a decade since I worked in the Windows world. Norton Ghost used to be a standard that techs used. I did a search a couple of years ago for a freebie equivalent. The only thing I could see at the time was a DOS based looking program. You had to type a few command lines etc...

    lol, Thanks I needed a good laugh. I'd be interested to hear what some others have to say about this topic. Perhaps it's the degree of choices we have today. In the old days the answer would have been simple. You would have had a little oil can on your work bench. End of discussion. Then...

    When you ask an intelligent person (engineer type) a simple question, that you never get a simple answer? I'm serious when I ask this. Typically a new person will visit a forum like this and ask a simple question. e.g. What lubricant should I use to lubricate the deadbolt on my FWC? By the...

    The 13" Apple lop tops are still decent value. At least the model without the Magic track bar and the Air. The 15" models at $3000 are overpriced. Apple traditionally sticks at given price points and continues to make better hardware every few years at those price points, but come on, who want...
