Thanks Doug. I haven't used that one. We have used AllStays with some success. I'll check it out. I'm hoping to get some first hand suggestions for camping and sights to see from the well-traveled folks here also.

Hi All. We will be visiting family in Denver next week. We want to take the scenic route back to Minnesota the week following (June 24-30). We would like to see Rocky Mountain National Park and some mountain scenery. All the campgrounds in RMNP are booked already. I would like some suggestions...

We've been having simply glorious weather here- 70s and sun- after a very wet spring. Sure sign of summer here- the camper is on the truck as of today. Better late than never I say. Heading out for the first trip this coming week.

Yes, I have a piece of plywood finished with porch and deck stain in the trailer to protect the floor. I have been considering a rubber mat. I looked at stall mats but they are really heavy- like 100 pounds! There are lighter alternatives but I haven't popped for one yet. I also installed D...

Thanks Sage, Happyjax and CougarCouple for the nice comments. Yeah, I guess left hand threads were around on some cars until the early 70s. I'm sure I remember having one or two- just can't remember which ones, haha. Thanks for the comment Firemen7. I have to admit to some trepidation to...

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I decided this was a truck accessory of sorts so here it is. If the moderators want to put it somewhere else, fine by me. I acquired this trailer off of Craigslist last summer. It has been a project off and on since then. i finally pretty much finished it...

I had asked about back in 2017 (post #12) in this thread: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/14161-log-on-problems/page-2 Never heard back.

Just catching up- so many great photographs and photographers here. Thanks to all for posting your work.

Park, more great shots. You have a real talent for seeking out and getting wonderful photos. Thanks for sharing them here.

Fun to revisit some favorite places through your blog. Lots more to see there. Beautiful campsite. Thanks for the report.

Our camper is on the truck about half the year (stored during the winter). Most of the miles are on pavement with the camper on the truck. I don't drive the truck much during the winter.

Toyota determined the 46 psi. Most Tacomas have P-rated tires from the factory but some were delivered with LT tires. The pressures on the OEM door stickers were too low for the LT tires. As a result, Toyota issued a TSB regarding running LT tires on the Tacoma. They issued the new stickers to...

Here's a couple of comments on this topic from some earlier threads. I checked into this with Toyota a few years ago. Copied from: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/14042-10-ply-tire-pressure/ "I posted about this earlier in this thread: http://www.wanderthe...d-air-pressure/ Toyota...

Looks like fun! Enjoyed the short video :)

We do the half turn past hand tight (use a stubby screwdriver) and use lock nuts. This has worked well for us- no issues with loosening.

Nice job on your camper build!

Yes, quite a bit of info on tacomaworld.com. The class suit was settled in 2016 which gave 12 years from date of first service of the vehicle to file a claim. For a 2005 that would be 2017. You are probably out of luck but it is worth trying. Good luck.

Ski, good news and good advice :)

I've been looking at these water bricks. I like how they stack and nest together. https://www.waterbrick.org/product/waterbrick-standard-3-5-gallon-blue/

Wow, great job! Thanks for posting your progress. It is fun to follow along.

I saw a write-up somewhere of the use of a super-siphon with the Scepter cans. Put a valve on the end of the hose. Once the siphon is started you're good to go. Looked like a good simple solution.

Could happen. I'd be content with a time-lapse viewed from a distance. :) I've got family in the Bay area and keep hoping the big changes are still well in the future.

We also have 2 jerry can racks on our camper. We use the Scepter brand military cans and spout which avoids the problems of the carb compliant spouts. As Tuff Guy said, one advantage is that the racks can be used for both fuel or water (I guess this is true for Rotopax also). We also use them to...

Hey, even we might see 70° on Saturday. It is great to see the long winter coming to an end. Tomorrow should be the first day in quite a while that I won't see snow and ice lurking on the north side of things.

For you geology fans, a fascinating article about a new (old) fault on the Nevada border. Those of you who frequent US Route 395 may find it interesting particularly interesting. https://www.wired.com/story/walker-lane-move-over-san-andreas-fault/?mbid=synd_digg
