    Tacoma+FWC+dirt bike?

    I have a 3500# axle if you want it (in Las Cruces). The F250/350 would be the way to go. I bought one (99) with 110k for about $10,000 and have done some mods and it now has 175k. If you go that route avoid the 6.0. Take out another student loan :blink: I have a front receiver hitch and carry...

    possible truck change

    Why 2WD?, just curious. I know it is simpler, a little better economy perhaps. I was just looking at a newer truck but it was 2wd which won't work for me. Last year I was in a Provincial Park campsite, pretty suburban, but to get out it was up hill and slippery grass and I had to engage 4wd...

    FWC Motorcycle hunter

    Bigger trailer is like a bigger garage, they just get filled up. I posted some pictures here http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/index.php?/topic/5090/page__pid__56425__st__0&#entry56425

    A little visit to the Midwest

    Well originally I was going to Labrador but family issues changed that :( , then I decided to settle for a trip around Lake Superior, but more changes altered that plan, plus my buying, selling, and trading motorcycles complicated my travels so I ended up with a trip from S.NM to SE WI and back...

    Solar-Powered Motion-Sensing Security Light

    I bought a similar light cheap at Harbor Freight and stuck on the corner of my house by the FWC. Works good enough so I have a little light if I run out there after the sun is down. I don't need it to see what I am doing outside in the middle of the night when camping and I don't need to alert...

    FWC Motorcycle hunter

    This trip has gotten?? Out of hand? Plan was to visit relatives near Chicago, maybe return by going around Lake Superior. Well I bought a bike in Des Moines so I had to grab that, and since I was heading East I dropped the Harley off near Kansas City. Then I made a deal to swap a 200 dirt bike...

    3 Way vs Compressor Fridge

    For me the 3way was far too much hassle, now I have an ARB and it holds a steady temp without a thought.

    Which Wave to go

    IMHO it is best to have a camper vented, ie open window or roof vent, no matter what type of heater you have going. These are very small spaces and it is possible to use up the oxygen just from breathing. You must be doing some Heavy Breathing

    FWC Motorcycle hunter

    Well the FWC is off on another moto retrieval mission. Actually the trip to to see friends and relatives and catch a few sights but has evolved into another episode of American Pickers it seems. The little Harley is being dropped off in Missouri, on my way to Iowa to pick up a cool little 250...

    Coffee maker?

    Ditto. Except we get our coffee from a local roaster. Last month Consumer Reports gave Walmart Columbian a high rating :lol: Pretty damned good and not an arm and a leg.

    Dont Get Eatten

    Last night, wee-hours of the morning, I had a run-in with a couple of young raccoon hooligans -- they woke me up with the noise they made trying to break in through the cat-door. When I opened the back door and yelled at them they ran off into the darkness...but as soon as they were out of...

    Dont Get Eatten

    The Lady and I have encountered grizzly in the backcountry while backpacking. They command a great deal of respect and scare me almost as much as moose. I just encountered a scorpion on the kitchen floor :o .

    Blasphemy! Considering a travel trailer?

    2005 Tacoma payload

    Shell? No 3 way fridge, maybe a DC one. Wave heater is only a couple #'s, put the dogs on a diet, good tires, and a little suspension help.
