    Payload Question

    I don't think being 250 pounds overweight is a big deal. Most of us here do it. Cort rolls at about 2,500 pounds overweight and he's still alive to tell the tale. I run airbags on my 250. Not essential but they do level the truck out and reduce suspension roll when cornering or on rough...

    What's a good size alternator?

    Thanks for the advice. I was really hoping to hear that my stock 100 amp alternator won't need upgrading. The shop that did the work raved about the remanufacturing facility and how awesome the alternators are. The owner claimed a "lifetime warranty", not so sure about that. What I am sure about...

    Comment by 'HERR42' in media 'Sign at trunoff for Usal Beach'

    The road to the campground and beach area is 6 miles long and was in very nice condition. no washboards at all, flat, no ruts, easily travelled by cars. ...as of 12/10 one other person was camping this time of year although we encounter 3 hikers just coming down from Shelter cove. Long hike...

    Propane - wet or not?

    Like you, I have heard that about the heater and assumed it to be true. But I was just checking out the thread on Expo and the reply about it being caused more by exhaling than by the heater makes sense. On the older campers like ours, the heater is located right by the rear door. But after a...

    Engel refrigerators and solar systems.

    I installed a panel mounted voltmeter and use 12.06 volts as a baseline for my 50% discharge. I try not to discharge my battery below 12.02 volts. I find with good sun that after a full day charging the battery is pretty well topped up. I don't stress too much about getting the perfect charge...

    Stan can you identify this?

    if i stand outside the camper and look up inside the upper exterior fridge vent I can see an electrical component on the left hand side. it is mounted to the wood cabinet (the reflectix is cut out in this area) just under the cabinet top. it looks like a thermal switch?

    Camper Battery Selection

    Pretty easy to vent to the outside. it collects on any surface near a battery....and eats away at anything it contacts. all of us have seen the diff between a new battery compartment and one thats a year old. i dont think having that on the inside of a camper is going to work long term. its...

    Camper Battery Selection

    Plate size/weight most likely. Might infer the platinum is slightly more robust, or it might not be as efficient in materials usage/selection, could go either way. Local battery shop doing a closeout on that model, highly discounted. Those would be flooded cells which aren't an apples to...

    How to carry second spare tire?

    Jeff - According to the website, the plugs for the "big tire" size are 8" long and the standard size plugs are 4" long. The website makes it sound like the 4" size is correct for "light truck"/pickups (and cars) and the "big tire" size really refers to things of a scale like double-axle trucks...
