My wave is basically for emergencies. I'm happy with my propane heater (suburban) but if I were starting without one I'd probably go diesel. It would be nice to have more even heating but that's difficult in such a small space.

I'll get the settings for you. The battery is a used Valence. From what I understand they were used in large corporate installations and replaced on a schedule regardless of how much life they had left. Unfortunately I don't have much info on them so I'm just going by what I see most Li batts...

Interesting. i've never yet had to replace any of mine.

My eight year old Vmax AGM batteries have dropped the resting voltage down to 12.2. Still had no issues last trip but since I had the Lithium sitting on the shelf (sat for maybe two years? and still had 13.2v) so I might as well get to it. I really hate when the heater won't fire up. I'd...

Tested the heater but I'll wait for winter rates before I start running it. Still waiting for the wind.

Map question. Many of my FS maps are huge. Difficult to unfold in the cab and real pita if the wind is blowing (as it would be in my open top Jeep). Fold it to just the area you need and you'll never get it properly folded back up again. Anyone have any tips or tricks for this problem?

And 50 cents less than I pay here for diesel.

Riley always enjoys camping. Swam a bit in Lake of the Woods. Chased some squirrels. If I wasn't aware of the controlled burns I'd have been concerned. I took a look at the weather and decided it was too nice not to take advantage of. Never know if we'll have more nice days or not. I did miss...

Just took a quick trip to fill in some spots on the Tahoe National Forest I'm not familiar with. Stopped by Webber Lake, all closed up. Meadow Lake CG had some tree work going on so I headed over to Jackson Meadows Res. Most of the campgrounds were closed but two were open. I had my choice of...

Warn me before posting stuff like that. What if my dog had been in the room?

My diesel doesn't have glow plugs!

Interesting timing since I just renewed my airmedcare. I've never come close yet to pushing the button but her situation is a good one for discussion. I've also assumed I'd know I needed to push it and sadly in this case I probably wouldn't have pushed the button. Us old guys always think we can...

Welcome to the site team Vic :)

Glad to be of assistance.

My understanding is the ruts will go away when it floods. Is that true?

Hmmm, paused Ghostery and still no ads.

Just signed out to see and it looks like my adblocker (ghostery) is blocking them.

Great trip report. Interesting country!

You're much more patient than I am. I do like the idea of cooking a pizza though :)

Or just add more sfuff on the roof. Solar panels etc. Then it'll come down :)

Sounds like you know what you're doing. I can't help but cringe looking at the damage :(

Me, I'd get out the saw but my camper is older and I'm not concerned about retail value.

I'm interested to see the long term results of this fix.

They are pretty tasty!
