I"ve always heard people say alaskans are heavy. Never really thougth much about who those "people" are. just tell them, yes its due to all that pretty (real) wood

we have hid under our fiamma in the rain. we were really glad to have it. used it in the sun too but during a cloudburst we were REALLY glad. very convenient.

i got one from kmart for $99. it works good. i never mounted it.... it mounts on the license plate bolts....has a little eyeball color camera. i send the wife around to look if there are trees...and I use the big ford mirrors. big mirrors are better. in parking lots its no use. in the...

give us some detail on the two attachment points. eye bolts? used existing hole?

My previous two trucks were CTD's, an 01 and 05. I went back to a gasser. F150 cause the weight is much less for off roading and I don't have to worry about EGT's. Is it too hot? Has it cooled down enough to shut off? Carrying extra fuel filters. Water in the fuel will destroy a diesel and...

no...no. i just dont know that the added cost is really worth it in the end. my tendency is to go with the lower percentage benefit rather than the highest numbers. if the benefit was better than %10 they would go with the higher rating and claim a larger number.....but they dont. i think i...

i think the only folks who question the benefit of a diesel are those who dont own one. do we know someone who had a diesel and dumped it? (because it was a diesel) i had a gasser and dumped it....primarily due to overheating. (chevy)

here is a good explanation of a mppt controller http://www.blueskyenergyinc.com/uploads/pdf/BSE_What_is_MPPT.pdf on a small system your looking at benefit measured in milliamps.

its overkill a 10 amp controller will do. P=I * E or I = P/E 85 watts at 12v is appx 7 amps this is the unit fwc uses, its good. they come in different capacities. http://www.specialtyconcepts.com/SPECIALTY_CONCEPTS_PDF_FILES/ASC_SPEC_SHEET.pdf

Not the cheapest you can buy, but the best I've had so far, but sorry not available at Harbor Freight. did you forget to post a link?

i happened across someone who needed a jump. i asked "do you have jumper cables?" as i am lazy and did not want to dig mine out. sure thing came the reply! i swung the truck into position and we hooked up the cables. no go i took a look at them, they looked stout but when i looked carefully...

chevron just dumped 30000 gals into the great salt lake. drill baby drill all the yahoos that vote to allow this stuff are at fault! remember the santa barbara spill? i do. remember this crap when youre asked to vote on it! when you vote to support this stuff you are obviously happy to...

buy one of these! http://riekerinc.com...meter/2056e.htm then use it to PROVE that you are parked level within specs. Because if your not sure that you parked correctly the problems might be considered operator error. sorry. get the tool, quit guessing. specs dictate 3 degreee fore and...

that extra two inches really helps. as you say it allows the bedding to be stored - on the bed! thanks for the info.

ok, now look at the cabover height. with the roof collapsed, the distance of the rooftop to the bottom board of the cabover bed. mine looks to be about 10 inches. is that dimension different from version to version as well? some seem a lot smaller.

another issue is that "in the old days" diesel fuel was cheaper than gasoline. after all, refining costs are less. now days we have lost that advantage.

the smith river wraps the campground on three sides. very impressive.

if you hant seen this guys web site your missing out. that is, if you like these big trees! http://www.mdvaden.com/grove_of_titans.shtml

is the depth of the bed common amongst all Hawk models? by "depth of the bad" i mean the clearance between the bed bottom board (top surface) and the ceiling when collapsed. what about the dimension between the top of the door and the top of the back wall? i dont think all the campers are...

How much clearance does that need above the door? i dont think all the campers are the same, even amongst models.

i dont agree with your mileage advantage or 3-4. where did you get that?

I think if the words "kill" or "maim" roll off the tongue that easily one might want to do some serious soul searching about their intentions in general, dogs or not. :-) my poor old puppy dawg.....who would feel the need to shoot a golden retriever?
