Congrats. Nice combo, the fit is perfect. Looks like a nice full load on the Hawk and your truck is a beauty. It looks like you will benefit from removing the jacks based on your stock truck mirrors. It only takes 10 minutes to put them back on if needed and it gives a great weight savings...

1 more day!!! 1 more day!!! 1 more day!!! yeyy yeyy yeyy!!!

It's nice to think how many smiles Diesel will still be putting on people's faces :) I like the fact that you can see through the window while driving and camping, while still maintaining privacy. That's awesome!

Yup. I appreciate the concern. I actually typed it in my post, but then deleted it (I didn't want to offend anybody, given it seemed to go without saying). It was an an example. There are plenty of products that have lower freezing points than water that are safe. Use your discretion. If...

That's cool. Little things they seem to keep upgrading as time goes on. I would appreciate that as well.

There are products on the market pre-icer and de-icer sprays that prevent ice from forming on windshields. This might work well on the back of the panels.

I think it's adorable and totally related, it will be a topic of discussion on the forum and on all your camping stops :)

I'm not a stove guy, but given that you have one burner working nicely you could use it for troubleshooting the remainder to see if it is the gasket. Rotate them and see how they burn on the different locations. I'm assuming you could get a universal gasket making kit if needed. I know there...

I would have to say, these are pretty high numbers in general. I'm impressed! I wonder how much that has to do with our group being camping enthusiasts or the fact that our campers are so darn convenient. I think my number would have went from 30 to 10 or less, if I had a towable camper with...

I have the insulated liner and camping at 14F is no issue. I usually have the heater set just above the lowest setting. It seems most of us have the heater set at the lowest setting and get by just fine. I usually burn about 5lbs of propane per night at 14F as I sleep with the roof vent 1/4...

Looks like the perfect meal to eat after playing in the snow.

The 110V outlet in my FWC has an LED that lights up as soon as I am plugged into shore power. Just thought I'd throw that out there, given this will be a new unit and it likely has an LED indicator as well.

That's one of the nice things about this forum, very respectful people, very respectful of one another's differences. This is why we go to rally's and visit the forum. It would be boring if everyone had the exact same ideas and setup. I think we can all agree on one thing though. We love the...

75 Ah (average battery) / 2 = 37.5 Ah (because you don't want to run them below 50% capacity) / 4.5A = 8.3 hrs (if the fridge was running full time) I would also use a computer fan to vent hot air to the outside. This will of course use power, but less power than having to run the fridge more...

Good job on the switch, but a mechanical thermostat isn't much more complicated than an on/off switch in addition to a bimetallic strip and a bulb of mercury to complete a circuit. ================== imagine this is 2 dissimilar metals. As we know dissimilar metal expand and contract at...

About 30. 9 weekend trips and 1 ten day trip. Tough for both of us to have the same days off, but we do our best.

I would suggest trying your existing hitch rack first. We use the one we had before getting the camper. There is enough room to squeeze in and out of the camper with the bikes loaded. Typically my GF does the squeezing and has absolutely no issue. I'm not sure what kind of rack you have, but...

Given many of our FWC's already have a pump, why not use it? With the combination of 2 winterizing kits, you could pump water out of the bottle and send it to the FWC's water storage tank. All you would need to do is flip 2 valves. There would even be enough room in the pump area to keep the...

I personally keep an extremely short water hose and extension cord onboard, but I'm also a 1/2 ton owner within payload. I purposely travel light and it's the sum of everything that make the difference. The water hose is about 8' and the electrical cord is about 15' The extension cord is just...

10 more days!!! but who's counting ^_^

This one alone is worth it to me. I've never had to use it in this fashion yet, but everyday I get piece of mind knowing I have a second battery. What about light? As much as I love flashlights, I certainly like having LED lighting in the camper.

11 more days. We are almost into the single digits!!! :)

I ate it everyday for about 2 years straight (plain with a few raisins). I hate oatmeal now :P Honestly I think it is the best breakfast for you in the world and you can add anything you want. The best thing about it is you never crave simple carbs when you eat it and it really does keep you...
