Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. I've decided to head down to Jalama Beach for the week. Weather forecast looks great as far as sunshine, I'll just have to chance the wind. Thanks again...

Was at Costco yesterday and stumbled on some nice stackable bins that fit perfectly behind the couch in my FWC. They come 8 to a case and were right around $19.00 for a case. Costco item #706674

Around the first of the new year I noticed some cracking of the skin on my old Grandby near the rear door. Knowin this usually means a broken frame weld or two, I dropped the camper off at ATC and asked the guys to pull off the rear and front skins, check for broken welds, repair as necessary...

Congrats on the new buddy Craig. Riley looks like he's going to make a great companion. Here's a pic showing you just what you get to look forward to around water. That's Marc's Lab Dylan and my hound Domino. Nothing better than a couple big wet dogs around the campfire :-)

A guy stuck his head into a barbershop and asked, 'How long before I can get a haircut'? The barber looked around the shop full of customers and said, 'About 2 hours.' The guy left but did not return that day. A few days later, the same guy stuck his head in the door and asked, 'How long...

I'll weigh in again about Dodge. I was never a Dodge fan before I bought mine. I had always owned Chevy's and GMC trucks. My last GMC was the most unreliable piece of crap I ever owned, I swore off GM trucks. I never considered a full size Toyota or a Nissan truck as I felt they're just...

I drive a Dodge with a Grandby, albeit a diesel, and I've never seen the MPG display on one anywhere close to accurate, gassers included. Do the math and you'll find it's about 3MPG optimistic. Mine consistently says 19 ~20 with the camper on at 62mph (where I like to drive). Doing the math at...

I'd be careful of that one. He mentions the body seems tweaked which could mean broken welds in the frame. To fix those would mean tearing either the exterior skin or interior walls off. Not a fun project.

A former Sergeant in the Marine Corps took a new job as a high school teacher. Just before the school year started, he injured his back. He was required to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn't noticeable. On the first day of...

Thanks Manfred, Merry Christmas to you, and all the fine folks on WTW. Hope everyone has a great year traveling and enjoying your campers. Bob

Hi Steve, I'm also an old Vietnam vet, but Air Force. I flew with the 56th Air Commando Wing out of NKP. As such, I belong to the Air Commando Association. We have yearly reunions and I've been to a few. It's great to reconnect with guys you haven't seen in 30 ~ 40 years. Isn't there some...

Marc, Take a look at the new Carli ball joints. Guaranteed for life. They're expensive as most gear from Carli, but their stuff rocks. I'll be using them when my joints need replacement (soon). http://www.carlisuspension.com/dodge-ram/ball-joints/index.html See ya in a few days...

Too bad you're not leaving a bit later. A couple of us are going to be in DV/Saline area from the 7th to the 15th of Dec.

And FWC thought they were one of the first pop-up's...NOT... :-) FYI, A 1934 Thompson House Car.

While not a fly fisherman, I do fish with bait casting rigs. I store the rods in cloth rod holders inside a 4" ABS pipe permanently mounted on the camper roof. Capped at one end and a screw cap on the rear that's lockable. Also in the pipe is my flag pole and flag. I've never had any damage to...

Well that vette does sorta droop in the rear .. :unsure:

This is just WRONG :o :o

Internal threads..mine's fairly old and is blue. With a life of 1500 gallons, I haven't yet filled the 10 gallon tank 150 times :-)

I regularly use the water system in the camper for everything, coffee, cooking, drinking, and even dog water. I picked up a SeaTech water filter at West Marine that goes in line with the fill hose so all water entering the tank is filtered. They're cheap, filter to 10 microns, remove 95% of...

"Bacon cooking events?" I'm in !!

I have a friend, yeah, that's it, a friend, while in Canada a couple years back, drive about 100 miles at freeway speeds with the roof up on a FWC with no damage, so I guess it can be done.

I'm leaving Saturday for a week on the east side. Colors should be good this year. Looks like I'll be doing a lot of dry camping with everything closed..Oh well that's why I have the 4X4 and camper :-) Lots of good spots in the green creek area and of course the Bodie Hills. Nighttime temps...

More on the new Cummins for the Titan.. http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/10/07/cummins-new-v8-diesel-detailed/

Thanks for report Ski, Pictures look great. I'm leaving this coming weekend for a week on the East Side, going through Hope Valley on the way. Looks like colors will be in their prime about then. Hoping no major windstorm or snow in the meantime :-)

Temps are already in the mid 20's at night in that area. It was 27 one night early last week in the Bodie Hills and 29 at Silver Lake campground. Forecast for next week is mid 20's at night. Bring your woolies and your heater :huh:
