    A taste of real winter in the West(ern portion of the NC coastal plain)

    I was going to get some gas this morning here in metro Atlanta for a trip to the Hiwassee NWR Sunday but couldn't even get into a gas station. Guess I'll wait until the panic subsides. ;)

    Wear & Tear on your FWC?

    On my 2014 Eagle I've had the front lift panel and the co/propane detector replaced. Since my camper is on full time and I part outside the roof is hail pocked but doesn't leak. Charlie Sent from my iPhone using Wander The West

    How to charge a laptop in a Fleet

    I use a 3rd party 12v charger on my 15" MBP and also did on my older 17" MBP. Not sure what brand but it has worked well, probably not the one I listed either - I was just demonstrating using google and didn't really look at the specs. Charlie Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

    No Destination : hoyden and two dogs hit the road full-time

    Nice reports, I love Big Bend. Did you make it to Terlingua? One issue I have noticed too with my FWC is leaving a campsite empty and coming back to find it occupied, even though I had it reserved. I've tried leaving folding camp chairs in the site but have had a couple stolen so I've resorted...

    Fleet Tacoma Bucking/Shuddering/Bouncing

    When I first had my Eagle on my Tacoma it would porpoise on the highway. At the time I had just added airbags and E rated tires. I ended up with an OME lift with heavy springs front and read and an extra leaf in the rear. I also have added an ARB front bumper/winch and an Aluminess rear bumper...

    satellite radio or powered portable speaker?

    My bluetooth speaker is an ecoxgear ecopebble and it has a decent sound inside the camper, haven't tried it outside though.

    Atwoof furnace propane problem

    Your tank probably got too cold to put out enough pressure to light the appliances. You might try keeping one of the tanks inside to swap out with the one outside when it gets that cold. Charlie Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

    satellite radio or powered portable speaker?

    I have 3000+ songs on my iPhone and a bluetooth speaker that I use, although when I'm boondocking I mostly listen to the quiet. ;)

    Leveling without jacks

    I also use the lego type blocks and have a lev o gauge in the truck cab. I use an app on my phone to check the level on the underside of the cab over since that is where the bed is and I don't want my head downhill when I sleep. Charlie Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

    How to Pass the Time

    That's a wonderful thing you do; one of my sons and his wife rescue special needs dogs. Takes a big heart to do that.

    Carbon Monoxide Alarm

    My 2014 Eagle has one and initially it would go off when I was on shore power and the batteries were fully charged. When I stopped by the factory last summer I asked them about that and they replaced the unit and it hasn't happened since.

    AAA Towing

    I have AAA RV but had trouble some years back when I was towing an offroad trailer with RTT and the AAA call center operator said it wasn't an RV because it didn't have a toilet inside. I was finally able to convince the tow truck driver to tow me anyway. My cousin is a former president of AAA...

    HOW MANY NIGHTS DID YOU CAMP IN 2016?

    I know I spend fewer 'motel' nights on the road now than I did when I had my Chaser trailer w/RTT - mostly due to my external shower. ;)

    Geezer card increase

    At the park where I worked areas had to be closed off due to sensitive areas being damaged or vandalized. I also remember back in the 70's I'd drive all over the place on fire and logging roads in my Jeep but now many, if not most, of those are closed to keep people from tearing them up or...

    Geezer card increase

    Having been a volunteer I think you underestimate the amount of training seasonal rangers get and overestimate that which volunteers get. There's more to administering a park than cleaning restrooms. An sadly, the desire to sell off public lands is political whether we like it or not. I'm hoping...

    Geezer card increase

    At one park I was at recently (can't remember which one) a ranger asked me if I wanted one of the holders when I showed them my pass. I think the parks have them on hand for the asking.
