Any feedback on condensation with the new Truma unit?

While I'm a big fan of the composting toilet in my off grid cabin (Natures Head), For the FWC I prefer a more compact system linked below. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09S9SW2VJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 This with wagbags works great for solids. We can even use it...

Good point on the camera issue, I rely heavily on mine! I'm still hoping to be struck with some genius idea to make my wall mount system work with the heavier bikes. I too am not a fan of the front mount. Perhaps the gen 4 Levo with offer enough weight savings to allow me to use a modified...

THAT is just what the doctor ordered. Thank you

Thanks for adding another option Ben. I will kick that one around. Good thought but the battery is only around 8 pounds. Every little bit helps though! We went in over the weekend to the bike shop as I had put down $1k deposit on two Levos SL bikes. After speaking with my buddy we decided to...

I like this idea!

I'm interested to try the new tire arrangement. I currently ride a Santa Cruz with 27"s and also a Specialized 29er. The mix sounds fun! I do like how the 29" tires roll over rocks, roots and ruts with ease. I went to the shop yesterday for a look at the Levo turbos, and they do seem like it...

:lol: We used whatever we had for a "mountain bike" back on the farm in Michigan. My 1969 Sting-Ray, Lemon Peeler edition was the bees knees back then. It even had what they now call a mullet tire set up! Weighed in at 39 lbs.

Thanks Lighthawk! The Specialized turbo Levo carbon are the bikes we are looking at. I see they now have an SL model that is 38lbs! I worked with 60 lb bags of concrete the other day and the thought of humping that up and mounting it doesn't sound fun. My buddy owns a bike shop in town and we...

I am kinda dreading that aspect of it all for sure!

Good point, and they don't list a weight rating. Also as I look at it, the tire drops below the bumper a bit. I think a custom fabrication will be in order. We are not ready to give up our "acoustic" bikes altogether, but are definitely looking at options for longer rides. I think the pedal...

I found these and may be able to mount to the top of bumper for the rear tire? They sell just the flat piece by itself for $60

After years of scoffing at them and those who partake, my wife and I are thinking of getting a couple pedal assist mt. bikes due to the whole getting older and increasing joint pains. We currently travel with our bikes on fork mounts on the back wall. Anyone try to carry heavier bikes that way...

A peaceful weekend at my local haunt.

For me, it is a luxurious, necessity. We often boon dock for several days to escape the masses. Having a real, hot water shower makes a world of difference. A quick wet, soap up and rinse and we are ready for another couple days with renewed vigor, especially with the invigorating tingle of some...

I use a Norco Genius 10 for shore tie charging. It does a great job and is reasonably priced. In the last power outage I used my FWC 206ah battery to keep my house refrigerator going and most other household lights and appliances. I would use the battery at night then run the generator for a...

350k can buy you a really nice boat.

+1 to the ThermaCell. I know it is hard to believe, but they REALLY work. Use mine all the time with amazing results in very buggy situations at camp.

I wish more folks would read and heed those warnings. My only complaint with our NPs is the extreme overpopulation of visitors. I do realize that I also add to that number, but I feel that I'm seeking out the beauty for a different, more spiritual experience. Many visitors are there just so they...

Aren't apps like that the best! I will check that one out. I currently use a similar one called Windy.com https://www.windy.com/?37.031,-122.120,5 Windy has served as a reliable tool when forecasting the conditions out at sea. I also use it to check the wind and weather before (and during)...

Our power went out last Saturday morning and is currently still out. Estimated restoration is tomorrow morning. Between my camper and a small solar, home back up system, I have 400ah of usable battery. I connect to an inverter and can run my whole house (except the hot tub and sauna :) I have a...

I purchased Go Treads in August of 2022, and they work great. They have proven themselves for me in sand, mud and snow. 0 complaints. When I was a young man, I liked the look of all the cool stuff mounted to my truck. Nowadays, I go for a much less "hey look at me, I'm an Overlander! " look. The...

Been personally enjoying Mahogany smoked meats for about the last 45 years. My folks had a cabin in Mammoth and we never passed through Bishop without picking up a slab before hitting the slopes.

Awesome. Good for you and good on FWC for making things right.

Heck if the weather was better I'd take you guys out on the boat for some crab'n!!!!!! If you are taking the coast and pass through Davenport, I'm in the tiny white fishing shack by the old church. You'll see my Hawk in the driveway :) not home from work till 7ish tho. The Aquarium in Monterey...
