Hah! Thanks Frank. And no, my pen name is not Stephan Pastis.

Also check to see if All Terrain Campers can do the install for you. They are in Sacramento and frequently do custom work, so can probably do the install to your specs.

Yup. I had dinner with Marc a couple of weeks ago. Couldn't make it work and he lost everything. A damn shame.

Thanks for the photos and reports. I will calm down now.

C'mon! Not one photo from any of you? It is bad enough I couldn't make it. You are going to make sure I don't see what I missed either.

Good on you, Henry. We haul garbage every time we camp but I don't think it has added up to 200+ pounds. Though there was one hunting camp that probably came close. They even left a trashed BBQ and deer legs behind. Contest or not, I would encourage all members no matter what type of camper...

Ace, I work for a local government and know that we only use chip seal on already paved roads to extend the life of the road as you say. But I don't work on those projects, so have a question. It seems a chip seal over a dirt road would be extremely thin and unable to stand up to much traffic...

Interesting find, Andy. How much has changed since I posted that. Everyone reacts differently, but I am somewhat amazed how well my chemo treatment is going and the progress I am having. Of course I was concerned when first diagnosed, but now I believe that quote you posted will still be true...

Checked the fridge more closely this weekend. As roverjohn said, no check or fill ports on Dometics, so no way to refresh coolant. Only a solid green light, no flashing red error indications. I can see the fan and it is running. Called Virginia as straydog recommended. I said I'm in CA but...

Lots of good info coming in, thank you all. Will not turn it upside down. Will check the LED's and in back to confirm ports to test/recharge the system. And since I live near the delta, it isn't too far to find a marine service location instead of an RV service location.

We have a 2014 Hawk with the Dometic CR1110, an all electric, Danfoss compressor refrigerator. We have camped regularly since purchasing the camper new and the fridge has worked ok. But recently we went four months without camping due to my health issues. Having camped again two weekends now the...

If it isn't too far, 130 miles south of Woodland is the Madeiros Campground on Oneil Forebay, the forebay for San Luis Reservoir. It is primitive, usually fairly empty, and conveniently close to I-5. You do get the noise from I-5 there though. 10 minutes further there is the Basalt Campground on...

Thanks for all the good wishes. It is so good to be able to get out and about again. And we couldn't ask for better company to share this big step with. I will continue to receive chemo through most of the summer but with this test trip a success we are already planning our next outing...

There is a Facebook page called "Bring the 70's series landcruiser to the US" or something like that. They often post photos of great looking older Toyotas. The one they posted today used to belong to member pvstoy. Patrick and Carol joined us on the very first WTW rally and this rig certainly...

I do them the same as you, long slow precook in the oven and finish with smoke on a grill. Did just as you suggested on one occasion. Brought the pre-cooked and finished them in camp. It worked fine.

This is why I often don't even bring a camera anymore. Mrs. Ted's photos were so much better than mine I just accepted reality and enjoy her photos. Nice colors in the sandstone.

Can it be shipped to ATC on a flatbed?

Not sure which is more surprising, not realizing the camper was no longer on his truck or running into a group like that to help him. Either way, an amazing story.

Good people, We are planning to do a road trip to Vancouver Island next summer. Will probably have 5-7 days on the island itself. Doing some reading but would like to hear from anyone with first hand knowledge. We know this is the high season. Is boon docking an option at all? If not, how...

Nice trip Bill. We had planned to go to the eastern Sierras but tucked tail when we saw highs were expected to be in the mid 40's while we were there. We always see pop-up campers on 395. Apparently there is some correlation between our taste in campers and where we like to go with them.

Agree completely.

We will be heading over there in early October ourselves. Going to try Lassen area also.

We saw one of the Teton Backcountry Rental's Four Wheel Campers in Yellowstone two weeks ago. The guy had obviously forgotten to do the roof latches as the roof was partially up. I would think that happens frequently with the rentals as I have done it myself more than once. At least with a hard...
