    Power Outlet

    the folks iv'e seen running inverters usually are running something large enough to require hard wiring the inverter. 10 amps at a lighter outlet wont cut it. i carry a small 300 watt inverter that uses a lighter plug...i run a rotisserie motor with it.

    Roof Repair -Patch

    I think I'd cover the hole by putting a small piece of aluminum over it using 3m 5200 adhesive caulk to anchor it in place. 3m 5200, now thats a specific statement. you have experience with this product? you believe it will adhere to the white painted roof surface?

    Fridge Trouble

    wow. it amazes me. those units are relativly simple. its hard for me to understand how they could NOT work. two rules: you must adhere to the leveling requirements. buy an inclinometer if you have to. 6 and 3 degree limits off of plumb are pretty tight. i know that a few more degrees in...

    Four Wheel Drive "Failure"

    1. You might want to ask them if there's away it can be engaged manually under the truck. 2. Perhaps go to one of the Sierra forums and see if anyone else has had the problem and they know how to engage it manually. 3. Buy a Dodge. what an awful thing to tell someone who is asking for...

    turnbuckles and locknuts....

    i disagree...get a bigger split ring washer....half inch it wont fight back so much. the goal is to NOT NEED TOOLS!!! a star washer will not hold over time...it does not have enough flex.

    turnbuckles and locknuts....

    star washers dont work as well in "hand tight" situations for me. the split ring washer has more compression range. dont get cheap ones...get the hardened ones...1/2 in, lots of compression and a good one-way bite.

    turnbuckles and locknuts....

    well i believe i have the best solution to the issue of the loosening turnbuckles. i put on a single wingnut over one hardened steel split ring lock washer....and it works perfect. not a star washer, it has to be a split ring type. the black hardened steel type. easy to tighten and ease to...
