I am currently trying to assimilate the ideas. I have been looking at the maps on these pages, specifically Routes from Las Vegas http://www.nps.gov/deva/upload/Routes%20from%20Las%20Vegas.pdf But you are coming from La Mesa,no? If you want to enter through the south east end of DV, there is...

I don't think he meant CPR, I think he meant to type CTD meaning Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel.

I don't know about the 6.4. The 7.3 and 6.0 Ford's were known for this common failure of the camshaft position sensor. Dodge has not had the failures but at $30, I bought a Dodge CPS for my toolbox, just to be safe.

Stew, yes, agreed. It is much easier from the Death Valley side. Entering via Goler Wash is much more fun and closer for us who live to the west. For the original poster, I assume he would be already in DV, so entering from the east would be best for him.

I agree with Stew about Butte Valley. Video here:

Ford 6.0 and 7.3 users would be wise to carry a spare camshaft position sensor. They are not expensive, easy to replace, and known to fail leaving you stranded.

It will be the busiest weekend of the year at Saline as it is the Prez Weekend Softball game. Anne and I and our son Michael and Fiddlin' Phil Salazar will be there. In your Dodge (like mine) you have 38 gallons of fuel at 18 mpg gets you a range of 680 miles. You could drive every last road in...

Judy, BTW, a Tundra would still have all the issues of requiring airbags, springs, bars and brakes. A 3/4 will require no mods. If you did decide to upgrade your truck go with a 3/4 ton. Diesel will get you better mileage than a gas 1/2 ton in most cases (especially Dodge). As with many others...

Hi Gene, We looked at a 2005 Outfitters Caribou 6.5 on CL just 45 minutes away. Very deluxe ($12,900)but too big and heavy for our Tacoma. Buying a Tundra would leave us in the poorhouse. I talked to Jeff at ATC this morning and knew this was someone we could deal with. He is sending...

Ich habe einem Dodge 2500 diesel. Ich kann sage das Du wirst kein problem haben mit diesem 2003 Dodge. Mit dem Dodge, als die anderen, wirst Du fiel weniger Kraftstoff brauchen. Einem Dodge 2500 ist wirklich stark.

Gene & Others, Have you ever spent time doing the Grand Gulch backpacking trip? (roughly 22 miles) Been through there four times. The ruins and rock art are extraordinary! Anyone in that area should, with doubt park the rig and take a few days to do this backpacking trip! Paul Yes, I did...

While you are in southern Utah, I would strongly recommend the one day river trip down the San Juan River from Bluff, Utah. The company to go with is Wild River Expeditions. Very nice people and very knowledgeable. Likely to be a high point of your trip. I've done it about 8 times and never get...

They are worth cost just as assurance that you don't burn a whole through the canvas should the light vibrate on while the camper top is lowered.

Hello, First time poster looking for a pop up camper for a 1999 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 extended cab. It could be a 4 wheel camper or any other lightweight pop up for exploring backroads of Pacific Northwest. I, myself, have an ATC on my Dodge, love it! I would recommend the ATC (all terrain...

That's when a manual trans and really low gears comes in handy, Andy. :)

Hey Andy, after the brakes were wet was it a dirt or gravel road you were on? It sounds to me like your ABS was kicking in, maybe in combination with wet tires slipping a bit. I had a Nissan a while back that I would remove the ABS fuse from while on dirt roads. It never seems to be an issue...

This link should be an ebay search of BA15S bayonet LED's that fit your current fixtures and are "warm" light. http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=led+ba15s+warm&_sacat=0&_odkw=led+ba15s&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

I use all warm LED's. The light is not much different than incandescent and as I use a Wave 3 (no electrical) for heat, and an ice box for cooling, the only need I have for 12 volts is my lighting. The draw is so low, I use an 18 amp/hr battery which is only a few pounds and the size of a cigar...

I have an ATC Ocelot shell version that I bought recently from Jay Aronow Camper Sales. I simply mounted the Wave 3 to the wall as in the picture. I would not use feet, having it screwed in place saves space and it is always there, no need to pack it. I use a 2.5 gallon tank inside, the hose...

For the Baja Fans: All the old Erle Stanley Gardner books about his early Baja explorations. For the South West Fans: All the Ed Abbeys. For the Alaska/Arctic Canada Fans: McPhee's "Coming Into The Country" (btw: I was married by John Borg in Eagle, AK), Hans Reusch's "Top Of The World" and...

I know I'm digging up an old, old thread, but Stan says above that the white wire coming from the camper is positive and the black is negative, but on my 1991 Grandby, I have white and red wires, no black. I don't know what to ASS-U-ME about this, and not sure how to test it. Please advise...

Hi Mark, My point exactly. Those who want to leave them on, should. But, I guess since I've seen the results of Dave's trailer, I'll turn mine off. I suppose there is a move towards 12 volt Engel fridges anyway. Jay Aronow is telling me he has already sold through his first opening order and has...

Propane powered vehicles have very well protected tanks. You have a point about the regulator. As long as it is not sheared off in an accident. Whatever the cause of Dave's leak, had the tank been turned off, there would not have been the destruction. Washboard roads can do a number on the best...

A side trip to Oregon's Hart Mountain National Wildlife Refuge makes for some nice hot springs and great photo ops of Pronghorns.

I was at Saline visiting and checking out the trailer. I said my "good byes" to Dave and left. One week later I returned to Saline to find the remnants of his trailer on Bat Road. It was those in camp that were there that told me what a racket and huge fire it created. That Dave barely...
