Maybe the cat can go through the access port and crap in the truck bed :)

I am looking at heaters for the Phoenix slide-in pop-up shell model that is currently being built for my Tacoma. I am looking for a lightweight and portable option, so I do not need to lug it around in the heat of the summer. Does anybody have experience with Mr. Heater products? I am wondering...

Not sure about the sausages but I will be in the vicinity in the video, planned on staying at Pistolet Bay but maybe I'll explore the options. Apparently there is quite a controvery about gravel pit camping, the Gov is working to outlaw and uproot what many see as a tradition and right. Part os...

I need to replace the roof vent on my camper has anyone done this yet, how hard is to do? Also do you know if I can just replace the plastic window? Thanks, The plastic window? Like DR said it is pretty easy to replace to top of the roof vent but are referring to a window in the camper? I...

Barko, my friends say that the Newfies party in the campgrounds and camp (for free) in the gravel pits, Ask the locals where the nearest gravel pit is :lol: I guess on the trans lab highway the SOP is to just find a spur off the road and camp, only 1 Provincial Park in all of Lab! I've seen...

Very cool but I imagine every part would need refurbishing, probably cost $25000 :lol:

I used some adhesive velcro on the bottom sides of the inside of the screen door's frame to hang some plastic (an old translucent desk protector) that will protect the screen from my dog's claws. Easy to remove when more ventilation is needed. I think I have one of those laying around, sounds...

Sounds like someone had a stick in the wrong place. They (the Zebras don't all have stripes and they have been in CA and Manitoba, only a matter or time for further migration. Wonder what's on my passport :o Customs went all through my FWC for an hour when I came back into the lower 48 after...

Call and get a quote from both. They both order the door from someone else. I did 4WC as they had the door in stock. No shipping as the wife drove up and picked it up. Bill Can she go get one for me :D

I guess I should just bite the bullet, seems I've been chewing a mouthful lately :o No better time than before heading where it is warm and buggy. Is ATC a better cost option? For a Grandby.

My old door was hard to close. Had to pull up and push in to get it too latch. This one closes better than any door in my house. Very happy! So it is a door in a new frame? I ditched curtains and use reflectix stuck on with little pieces of velcro. Provides privacy when needed along with...

Ordered a new door from Terry at 4WC and put in in. The old one was in bad shape, cracked frame and rotted out. Plus I gained a screen door, which really makes it worth it and it closes so nicely. Now I need to fab up a screen for the front window... Went from...

The winds and the idiocy of some camper had made the Eager area untenable. Can't really pin down the cause but the odds are that at least the other 2 fires South of there were caused by illegal immigration. They started in drug corridors and really no one else travels back there. They cook...

Here is a pic from last night. The smoke is from the Horseshoe 2 fire that is in the Chiricahuas (150 miles as the crow flies) or another fire further South along the Mexican border. Still there this morning.

Another story (a little shorter but more-violent ) of home-invasion by wild animals, same house, also years ago: My cat's food bowl is in the utility room and the cat door leading out on to the deck is a couple of feet away...so it's not surprising that neighborhood cats and medium-small wild...

Here is a handy gadget. Some campgrounds have water bib's with no threads to connect a hose. This allows you to connect to that. I've had it for many years, don't know what it's called or where I got it. Camco 22484, available on Amazon or lots of places Actually looks like something I got...

HighZ was complaining that all he get under his porch are skunks, not cute foxes. Reminded me of camping in a tent camper one time in Upper Michigan and I heard a noise that I believed was being created by mischievous raccoons right outside my door. I grabbed a pan of water to fling at them...

Start one, Barko! I'd contribute a story about the skunk who hopped up on my bed :o and another one about the skunk that I caught in a live-trap. :o OK, new skunk thread in the lounge :lol: Calling HighZ!

That is cool! All I get under my deck are skunks. We need a thread on bad skunk experiences. Mine involved thinking there was a raccoon messin with my stuff.....

I carry a Reliance water container with a nozzle, so no funnel needed. Another advantage is that I can balance weight a bit during travel. I fill the FWC water tank about halfway, then fill the container and stow it on the passenger side to help balance weight. Once at the campsite I empty the...

Day late and dollar short. between Jan Brewer waiting to ask for help and the USFS sitting on their administrative hands half the state has burned. Well actually less than .5%, not quite 50%. Sadly Rustler Park was burned in the horseshoe fire.

Summer is finally starting here. Maybe some of that moisture will travel that way now. We got our first trace of rain the other night, after about 6 months. I had plans to go to Alpine and ride 191 South, a great bike road, but obviously that is out. The whole Coronado National Forest closes...

Bark Man, I can't wait to see the pix. I would love to do that trip!!! Last year I drove to Newfoundland and across it and really liked the environment and people. Very different that the usual travels in the West. Wouldn't want to live there, they go to Ontario in the summer to get warm...

I can show you some spots. :) :D I'll just be passing through and not really knowing the how quick I'll get across the plains but Thanks! Since it is summer time I may make some reservations in Newfoundland campsites and for the ferry. I want to get over there but don't want to rush it...

I'm thinking of staying close to the lake until Wawa and then head to Timmins. I came through Sault Ste Marie last year (and Georgian Bay a year or two before) and I'd probably have to retrace some of that, Ottawa, Montreal etc. Rte 113 and 167 will get me back to the Gulf of St L without the...
