The permit is free, I think all it raises is awareness of fire safety.

Thanks.

Maybe it's time to rewatch the movie "there will be blood" :unsure:

My sensor sometimes beeps and the red light flashes when I am on shore power charging up for a trip and the camper is closed up (top down). If I open the turnbuckle doors and use my USB fan inside it takes care of the problem. I've never had the issue when on shore power with the top up. It did...

Here is a post I copied from FB by a fellow named Dan Ranson who lives in Utah and it's a nice history lesson: "When Bill Clinton designated Grand Staircase National Monument in 1996, Utah Senator Orrin Hatch was furious. He called it “the mother of all land grabs” and threatened there would be...

I started with Airlifts on my Taco but after 3 failures went to Ride Rite.

Do you plan on adding anything to the roof, like a rigid solar panel? If not maybe your struts are too strong. If you want to use the fan to bring it down close the door and louvered windows and run the fan on exhaust.

On my truck if I mounted my rod vault to the jack brackets I'm not sure I could open the rear door of my quad cab unless the vault stuck out behind the camper.

If you can find a good used D700 snap it up. It's a fantastic low light camera and I often wish I still had mine. My latest camera and lens purchase is a Lumix DC-GH5 to replace my GH3 and a 100-400mm lens to replace my 100-300. This combo doesn't have the IQ of my D4s and 600mm prime but it is...

I have a Honda 2000 and that's what I do when I have to.

In my state campers under a certain weight don't require tags or even titles and mine is insured as a part of my truck, although we did bump up the truck value accordingly.

I have a rod vault on the roof rack of my Eagle and you are right that the rods aren't easily accessible when the top is up. I only put my rods in there when I'm moving from place to place so that hasn't been an issue for me (as long as I remember to take them out before I set up ;) ). My top...

I live in the southeast and often end up camping in 80/80 weather (80 degrees, 80% humidity). Can't say it is always pleasant but with a fantastic fan over the bed it is tolerable. When the humidity drops and it's 60-70 at night it's comfortable.

I have a faring on my Tacoma/Eagle and that reduced the noise but it wasn't that bad to begin with. The only time I really noticed was when I forgot to buckle to top down and then drove off. :o

I was in Norris CG a few years ago when a sub-adult male grizzly was coming into the CG and knocking down tents. He never got a food reward (walked right by a couple cooking bacon once and they never noticed him) and never hurt anyone, just liked to knock tents over. The rangers made everyone in...

I've found tickling their tummies works best. [emoji6] I've camped a lot in bear country (black and grizzly) in both a tent and a FWC. Keeping a clean camp is essential and it's also good to cook away from where you sleep.

I'm also curious if there has been any determination on why the step failed. I have inspected mine and see no obvious flaws but it would be interesting to know if this is a systemic problem or an isolated incident.

One day a father gets out of work and on his way home he suddenly remembers that it's his daughter's birthday. He pulls over to a Toy Shop and asks the sales person, "How much for one of those Barbie's in the display window?" The salesperson answers, "Which one do you mean, Sir? We have...

The first time I used the city water port I also was running the hot water heater. On my Eagle the city water port is directly above the hot water heater so I almost melted the hose. I haven't used the city water port since although I did get a brass fitting to extend the hose out of harm's way...

Serious ouch. I've been lucky that the first thing I do when I set up camp is start the pump so the few times I've forgotten to fill up the hot water heater were taken care of by accident.

Mine's far enough forward that I mounted a couple of Ridgid Duallys on it for ditch lights.

The leading edge is about 4" back from the top of the windshield.

I have the 44" fairing on my Taco. I think it makes it a bit quieter but no effect on gas mileage that I can tell.

I retired at 55 and never regretted it; I'm almost 70 now. I now spend my time on camping, photography, fly fishing and building Habitat for Humanity houses.
