CARB compliant spouts are the third sign of the apocalypse. I don't know what size Wedco you have, but when I come across these I buy a few: http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Gas-Can-SPOUT-Replacement-WEDCO-BRIGGS-STRATTON-MULTIPACK/31535732...

Wow, an opportunity to express an opinion. This is my viewpoint: I have an old FWC Grandby. As a child and a kid I camped an Alaskan 8ft Cabover. Both have been around a long time and either are a good choice in my opinion, but how I'd choose would depend on what I wanted to do and needed for...

I have not done the conversion, I'm fine with my manual Rieco jacks. My father has the electric lift Rieco's. His are probably a decade old or better and work fine. The functioning key I think is lubrication and periodic use. A few of his retirement cronies have converted their Rieco's to the...

As a public service announcement to users of this forum: #1: It makes it tough for us to live vicariously through others when non-functioning links are posted. #2: Functioning links are more useful to demonstrate, (read "convince") needed trips and/or camper modifications to spouses or...

I tie down my Granby outside to the four corners of my Rieco corner jack mounting brackets. As Barko stated above, I think it's better than the four corner eye bolts through the corners of the wood. Think about this way, the corner jack brackets are attached to the camper frame and are designed...

I have a question for our sponsor. Are you able to hang bike AND bicycles off your pickup or are you using a trailer? If you are able to hang it all, then we probably all have a lesson to learn from you! I'm able to put three float tubes and fishing poles on top, and it looks like a carnival...

For me, lots of cooking over a fire, (yea, roasting a hot dog) equals less pots and pans. Seriously, the first thing I found to help is scaling back on my cook gear. I get by on one pan, one pot, a couple stack-able bowls and maybe my dutch oven. With the FWC's it helps to adopt a semi back...

Some time ago I saw a Grandby online for sale in Colo. The photos showed a stone, or stone like black splash along the sink/stove side wall and a granite or granite like counter. I suppose that illustrates that the idea has merit.

Mr. Creek1; you may want to consult the Winnemucca District BLM too as most of the access to the Santa Rosa Range passes through their domain before you get to the Humbolt-Toyabe part. I know the H-T does do maintenance on some of the road system, but what section and when I cannot comment on as...

I'm partial to the TOYO brand. Their AT is the all terrain model. I have AT's on our Ford Explorer and they do well. I have M-55's on our pickup which are full on mud and snow 10 ply tires and work well also. On the explorer I've gotten 40 some thousand on the last set of AT's. I am highly...

http://freecabinporn.com/ Thank goodness some else posted this link on WTW sometime prior. If you have not been there lately, or at all, I highly recommend a visit. While I'm not exactly an office worker living in the suburbs I can totally agree with the kudos statement made on page one of of...

My experience the roof is the first thing to go paint wise. Once it starts it will continue till you have a shiny aluminum roof, then a dull, oxidized roof. Although my Granby is older than yours I'd suspect the same progression will hold true. The thing about having the roof white is it will...

I'm like Cort. It's part of my Home/Auto Bundle.

Specs on that battery are: 100% 12.8+ 75% 12.6 50% 12.3 25% 12 0% 11.8 Also typical life cycles on Deka: 100% drawn = 150 80% drawn = 200 50% drawn = 370 25% drawn = 925 10% drawn = 3100 Wow It's nice to know that I have a pretty good battery, (I think.) Mine's a DEKA 1131MF

To Mr. Dog, thank you for providing this site to exchange information, tales and facilitate discussion. I wish you the best in your present and future endeavors. To those how have contributed or whomever may care, thank you for your threads, photos and comments. Their influence on me has...

http://www.protech.net/index.php Try the above link, this company is big in the trucking industry. They have a large distributor base. Probably one near your Cali location. They also do custom work as a standard course of business. They also have a West Coast, (Vancouver Wa.) shop...

Nice! :D To be on the safe side, maybe add this one, too: That's pretty good though not original. We used to put hazard stickers on our data loggers at work to deter people from fiddling with them or taking them, though no hazard really existed. Worked well until we got a call about our...

Anyone have any experience with using the High Lift to grab a wheel? They have an accessory with hooks on webbing to grab the wheel, but I'm thinking some 1 1/2" or 2" tubular webbing threaded through the spokes on my wheel would be fine. If you have the right type wheel, in a pinch you can...

Wow! I'd love to see that...as long as it wasn't my rig. I try to avoid the "Drive Off" method. I have done the "Throw Off" method, getting the rig jacked up to clear ruts, holes or whatever and push the jack sideways moving the rig over. I should add the disclaimer that this is for...

Nice truck, Frank :) The High Lift LOC-RAC says it can mount horizontally or vertically. But they don't say it can hang upside down! I'm not sure the keeper for the foot of the jack would work the way I'm considering mounting, but if nothing else I can put a bolt through the jack itself on...

Mr. BC, thank you for your reply!

Throw in a can of WD-40, CRC, or your favorite flavor of spray on lube in your stuff box. The pins on Hi-Lifts tend to get really dry regardless of how they're stored unless they're used real regularly. When dry they tend not to cycle correctly. A little lube works wonders on them. In a pinch...

I gotta ask, why did you select a DC only fridge, rather than an AC/DC unit? I am currently contemplating a switch from my old Dometec, (sp) 3 way so I can get away from the leveling issue and increase my propane tank lifecycle. I assume your new unit is good to operate to about 30 degrees off...

Me personally, any long straight seam gets eternabond. I too hate silicone sealant except in gasketing applications. I too give eternabond two thumbs up. Not Cheap, but good stuff.

I like the automatic because it makes it easier -- and safer -- to eat and drink while driving in traffic. I wish I'd gotten the auto in my Honda Civic -- I spend a lot more time in traffic with that daily driver. Next time... So your suggesting I'm safer while driving in Bend because of...
