    Big Den CG

    Has anyone camped at Big Den in NV on the BLM land? We are taking 50 on our journey to visit friends in Moab (final destination Teton). Just wondering how long the trek is off 50 to where you camp. Any info is appreciated.

    Yet another air bag question

    That is the beauty of air bags. You can adjust them to what ever your load demands. I confidently tow my boat into some compromising places with my set up.

    Yet another air bag question

    My suspension is also capable of handling my 2023 Hawk. The air bags have been great for allowing me to level the truck (driver side is heavier). Also when camping on uneven terrain, I can adjust the level of the rig a bit more when I run out of rocks and blocks. The bags also help significantly...

    Trashcan Mount

    Thanks for the great advice Craig. The bucket has a Gamma lid with a gasket that keeps the smell down. Actually my wife and the other friends we were with said they could not smell a thing. I have been blessed with a super sniffer! So much so that when I go hiking I can smell the different...

    Trashcan Mount

    Usage update: My new trash set up had her christening on Mother's Day! We spent the weekend at a bluegrass festival and the can was filled with wag bags and left over carnage from our fish fry. I did not want the can inside even for a second. Sure was nice to drive out of camp with the rubbish...

    Replace Air Bags or Not?

    Another option is adding Super Springs https://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=9353&zenid=5e4e78abb8a6b79a5af74d0b3a2068a8 They don't cost that much and really help with any loads. I have had them one three different trucks now with excellent results. I...

    Using tow/haul mode with lighter campers

    That will be a very capable set up. You will just need to test out the T/H feature when your camper gets mounted to see if you feel any benefits. My 5.3L V-8 has direct fuel injection and cylinder deactivation. No matter what, the best MPG I see is 16.

    Using tow/haul mode with lighter campers

    What is the truck you are currently running? 1/2, 3/4 or 1 ton? Gas or Diesel? What is your camper load and how close to GVWR are you? It sounds like with the heavy duty trucks, the feature is not as needed or utilized with a light camper.

    Trashcan Mount

    https://nevgear.com/products/5-gallon-bucket-rack?variant=42479624683669 It was made to mount to the back of a golf cart. I just took the quick release bracket off of the metal bars and mounted it to the bumper with 1/4" rivets. I will update as to how it holds up.

    Trashcan Mount

    I have finally found a solution for my trash can. Sometimes we are several days away from a place to dump our recycling and trash. We do not generate that much, but what trash we have will get stinky if kept in the cab or camper. I got a gamma lid for my 6 gallon bucket and that has helped. I...

    Using tow/haul mode with lighter campers

    I use mine a lot with my 1/2 ton Chevy and loaded Hawk. I engage it when climbing or descending long hills. In stop and go traffic around town with hills, I use tow/haul and low gears to get going. Once up to speed and on long, flat straight aways, I disengage the tow/haul. 4wd is only engaged...

    Here is another local boy from the San Lorenzo valley of the Santa Cruz mountains. Jesse has persevered though some heavy addiction and tough times. I work with his mom and it has been absolutely joyful to see him clean up and give his dream a shot. I'm root'n for him.

    Both guitarists are good but ( young man in black shirt) Sully's flat pick'n and fret work is unbelievable. Most cant keep up with him! We have been enjoying him on the central coast here since he was a kid too. He comes from a very talented family, the Tuttles. His big sis Molly is making a...

    Do pop-up campers stay cool enough to leave a dog in?

    Don't do it. Not worth the gamble.

    Whats a good portable propane camp stove?

    I know you mentioned wanting a two burner, but just in case, here is a link to the one burner I use. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009PUS6M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have used it on my boat and it was so stable and great, I got one for the camper and ditched my 2...

    Spring Desert

    We found plenty of great blooms along the way. Right off the 101, 46, 138, and 5 highways are amazing arrangements of reds, orange, yellow, purple and blue hills and fields of goodness.
