I think when/if my OEM heater fails, I will go with the diesel. Since my truck is a gaser, it would require carrying a third fuel source. On my Cutwater cb30 I run a Webasto heater that is fed from the 180 gallon tank that powers the Volvo Penta D6 power plant. I must say that it is the most...

5100s I think better shocks will really help with your bounce. Shocks play a huge roll in limiting the up bounce. Limited up bounce means less down bounce. This lets things settle down quicker and translates to a smoother ride. As much as we like to think these campers are light, and...

This could be a good thing? Perhaps more little swimming holes that other wise would be under water?

Thank you! This looks very promising!

I have a loaded Hawk on my Chevy 1500 with airbags, sway bar, Bilstein shocks, SuperSprings and E rated tires. I have no roll whatsoever and she feels and drives rock solid on and off road. The SuperSprings handle the load and the bags are used for leveling. I like the idea of the helper...

Thanks! I will look into those.

Heading up to Grass Valley for a family event this weekend. Any suggestions for some off the beaten path camping? Looking for something near or on the water. Yuba river???? Any and all suggestions appreciated. If you don't feel like blowing up a spot online and would rather direct message me...

I feel you will find many different answers to your question. It truly is based on you and your specifics needs and wants, as AWG-pics mentioned. When I first got my camper, I had everything under the sun packed in there! After every trip, I found my self removing certain things and then adding...

Beautiful waters! Aren't those rubber mesh nets a blessing. No more snagged hooks and the composition is better for the overall health of the fish. What a delightful trip for you guys!

Angel lake! Beautiful but crowded indeed! We stopped there last year on our way home from Wyoming/Montana/Idaho trip. I'm was surprised so many people drove all the way up that road (you feel like you may fall off the side, as my wife put it). We did find solitude at sunset and sunrise and I...

Thanks for that breakdown. I’ve been researching panels with bypass diodes or individual micro inverters for each cell. It seems like there could be some options that address the problem. For now I think my easiest solution would be to get a way longer cable for my aux (out the back port) panel...

Just returned from a lake trip in the Tahoe NF. Camped for 5 days without moving the rig. Our site was under the filtered sunlight of pines and cedars. Between that and a couple cloudy days (actually had a bit of rain), my 206ah lithium was down to 32%. I tried to move my aux 135w panel into as...

Almost looks like it's shinning through a smoky haze. Hope all is well at the fort!

Looking good! I am surprised that you did not incorporate aluminum considering your welding experience. No worries on weight for you though. That dually can handle anything! Thanks for the pics.

Fox for sure. I can see how the angle is funky in that pic. She is our resident beast, we call her Picante. She had two pups (kits if you will) and we truly enjoyed watching them roll around and play together while mom was out hustling grub.

Crab was hit and miss this late in the season. Plenty of cod to go around though. We enjoyed very light winds and a cooperative sea state. Took a nice boat ride up to Big Flat for a picnic. Have fun!!!!!!!

The heat sure made the animals not really give a hoot about us. The fox took over on our table as we sat on the deck. She even invited her deer friend.

Got some relief down at the beach and on the boat. 70*s felt just right.

Stopped by our swimming hole on the Eel river before we shot down to the property on the coast. It hit 116*!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We sat in the water for 5 hours straight. Not a bad way to coexist with the heat.

These are the items I purchased for my system. It works great in four season camping situations. I have never depleted the battery but have come close in the winter (5 days of rain/no sun) a couple times. I have a DC/DC charger that I have yet to install (not wanting to go through taking the...

Sounds like a splendid day!

+ 1 to this! To us, hot showers are truly a game changer. After just a quick one, my wife is beaming with radiance, smiles, renewed vigor and she ready and willing to extend our stay and keep the adventure going! The on-demand unit takes up very little space/weight, yet offers a wealth of...

2nd year of no salmon season. The landlocked kokes are a tasty way to ride out the closer.

I hit the lake on Thursday. On the water by 0500, by 0800 it was 98F and the bite shut off! I managed to find a nice combo of Kokanee and Rainbows before things got too hot. When I pulled the boat out temps were at 102F. Sure was nice to come home to the coast and smoke my catch in a 67F foggy...

I love the forward and aft windows in the canvas!
