the whole "sales model" is engineered to facilitate a sales guy making a buck for himself as well as his employer. the more he makes over dealer cost the bigger his paycheck. they could change the name from salesman to haggler...maybe that would make things clearer.

Joshua tree, the land of curbs, no undeveloped camping, lots of people. i can understand wanting to see it once.

those turtle expedition guys seem to always use Fords.....ever wonder why that is? do ya think they have a reason? or is it looks? why no dodge? or toyotas?

i wouldnt write off a short bed truck.....especially when its purpose is to carry a camper. long bed trucks have multiple compromises due to their wheelbase. turning radius, crest angle, etc. the shorter the better...for rough country work.

i have some really good advice: DV is really spread out. The driving time between locations is significant and easily underestimated. Road conditions are part of the equation but distance is truly a factor. Seeing one or two sights can consume a full day.....with a lot of that time being...

is it worth it?

Silvertip, I don't mean to tell you how to set up your truck ... but I can tell you this, one time on a knarly off camper trail in the high country and you will wish you never but a 6" lift on your truck . marc i agree. it is tempting to try to make the truck more capable of dealing...

I've been running stock but I plan to get something like Deltarat is running. 2 inches is fine. you can try running boards again eh?

I was kinda/sorta with em until i read this nonsense "This is just the latest step in a massive land grab being orchestrated nationwide by anti-access forces who are seeking to eliminate responsible off-highway riding on public lands by any means necessary," "Responsible"?? Have any of you...

Nightlight LED with switches mounted to fan. one is solid red. the other is a multi color slow changing led. All were purchased from superbright leds. Added some anti slip stuff from lowes to storage compartment and refrigerator. i replaced some of my incandescants in the ceiling...

Unfortunately, if you look at the area around Antelope Lake, its really in a big valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, with no appreciable human settlements inside. Of course, if you can get on a peak its all moot, you can get a cell signal from every peak I've ever been on. I'm...

this looks like the same stuff http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-locks/reflective-foil-insulation.htm

it is normal to see an intelligent charger vary the voltage. the cycle usually goes: the battery voltage is allowed to float, and it begins to drop to the lower threshold of appx 13.2 which when reached will trigger the charger to bring the voltage up to its upper threshold of 14.3 then its...

thats the only reason i come here is for the shop pics! we did the same thing, good cookware etc.....we went to target and got new $20 frying pans etc. dont laugh....they are still in perfect condition...the eggs slip around real good!

One of the things that has slowed me down (other than general laziness) is the lack of repeaters in areas i frequent. I was really surprised to see a town the size of Susanville has no repeaters. One in Quincy (still need to see if its on a ridge overlooking the valley) and nothing further...

you need to start hunting on the internet for repeaters in your area...simplex wont be that much use as you will find that its really hard to escape repeater coverage. its expected that one always scans the simplex calling freq just in case. if everyone did this is would help to ensure...

yes, thanks, especially the good description.

just think though, on the bright side, new tires! once the brakes are done you will be all set up! yahoo!

who has some scoop on this area? DD? ya been there before? is there a good place to park nearby for the night?

A built in heater, or maybe a portable? Why use the space for something that will not be used all the time. Also no need for such a large propane tank (if you had a AC/DC refrigerator). the propane used by a gas fridge is so minimal its as though it uses almost none.

i agree and think the thread should be killed.

my wife likes the camper so much - she is the one who bought it!

i always thought that the biggest negative impact of the microsoft product line was that it ran on intel. i never liked multiplexed address bus components. motorola had way faster chips...going with intel really hosed motorola. oh well.

I think some computer dork titles are in order. careful little chief running board!

aw geez....i never get to have any fun.
