I had this "friend", yeah, a friend, drive over 100 miles at 60mph in Canada with the top up. My "friend" reported no damage.

Monitor Pass..Looking for Fall Color

Wow, thanks Craig. Sounds like you're bringing enough for all of us!

Maybe 40 years ago with old tube type TV's and outside TV antennas, but not today with cable, and everything on UHF.

A ham radio ticket is very easy to get today..no code and a simple multiple choice test.

Zuber, This thread started in 2011. DD sold the rig several years back and hasn't been on the forum for a long time.

"wow 500 amp hours is a ton. What type of radio gear do you have that is that power hungry?" I have a ham radio amplifier in the truck that puts about 1100 watts of RF into the antenna..With the amp and the radio, total current draw is around 170 amps on transmit. I also have an Extreme Air...

I have a 1500 watt inverter. Like Craig, mine runs my microwave just fine. I have 200 watts of solar, and 200 amp hours of battery in the camper. The camper is wired directly to the truck with welding cable, and truck has 300 amp hours of battery to run high power radio gear. Total available...

Don't forget Bodie, go in through Aurora Canyon, very scenic and no horrible washboard as on the main road in. Lots of great camping in Green Creek area. A very scenic road between Green Creek area and Virginia Lakes. Stop at the ranger station just south of Bridgeport for maps and info.

Have a Costco item number?

Put me on the list, I'll be there. Thanks Dick!

Being an old analog guy (old being the operative word here), here's how I monitor solar charge and camper current use. The far left meter is camper load, center is battery voltage, and right is solar charge current. The meters cost $18.00 total on eBay and a couple hours of my time. I also have...

You're right Ski, was heading to Camino to visit Bro-in-law.

I have an older Grandby and mounted mine to the furnace cover which is steel rather than aluminum.

"K6ON" My ham radio call-sign.

When I bought my camper about 8 years ago, I carried a small generator. After lugging it around for about a year and never using it, it's now sitting on a shelf in the garage. I initially thought I might need it because I have a 1.5KW inverter and microwave in the camper. I discovered I only run...

Great report as usual. I agree with Sage..Boeing C-17 Globemaster III.

Reminds me of the old Mose Allison song "Parchman Farm"...

Ultimate redneck camper, but damn, I'd like to have the truck...

Craig, You mean one of these??

Yeah Ski, but your camper is an ATC. We know there's night and day difference between the customer service at ATC compared to FWC. ATC is kind of like Alice's Restaurant :P .

I make frequent trips to ATC to visit with Marty and Jeff, drink their coffee, and eat their donuts. Over the last year or so, I’ve been watching a project the guys have been working on during their spare time. Starting with a long bed Chevy 4X4 pickup, they removed the bed, extended the frame...

A little further North, no trip up 395 would be complete without a visit to Bodie.

I hope to be there around noon Thursday. Marc plans to be there around 10:00 am Thursday.

Where is the dispersed camping area? I've never been there and if I come down Thursday, I'd like to find the correct area. Can someone point it out on a map?? Thanks!
