My experience with plug-in inverters is not good. I have a 200W unit that will not run on any of my outlets in the camper or the ones in the truck. I have a 400W unit hard-wired (8 AWG wire) to my camper batteries that works well. Its what i am running on now. A cigarette lighter plug just...

GAWR is not a recomended weight, it is the MAXIMUM weight! Your front is under maximum, but your rear axle is overloaded. Not good. Thats why so many of us use 3/4T trucks even though FWC says they can be used on a 1/2T truck. Add beer, water, food, tools, etc and you are over the capacity of...

Great pictures That was a great story and pics! It makes me want to retire so bad it hurts...

This works for me too. I'll mark my calendar and plan my trip accordingly.

I'd vote for the weekend after Labor Day also. The afternoon thunderstorms usually wind down pretty well by then. I'll be in Wisconsin over Labor Day weekend so I can't make it then.

Holy Crap! That engine bay is cleaner than my kitchen! :eek:

It sits in the aisle, cross-wise in the front. I have a shell, the full campers have a bench there with the water tank underneath. It JUST fits between the couch and left side wall. I hold it down with an old seatbelt bolted to through the walls down low at the front. I have added batteries...

My Engle lives in the camper full time with solar panels charging the camper batteries every day. I have used the truck to charge the batteries while driving a couple of times on cloudy days. This setup has been working for 3 years now with no problems.

If you used it for bait, do you think anything would bite on it? Or just swim away, very fast...

Beautiful country Between Flagstaff and the New Mexico border area is the Mogollon Rim. This is some beautiful country with tons of camping opportunities. From Flagstaff you can go south on 89 a short distance and turn left on Lake Mary road. This will eventually hit AZ 87, turn right and a few...

Ahh, memories... In the 90s I racked up about 260,000 miles on a 91 Chevy 1/2 ton with a fiberglas shell. A piece of plywood, some indoor/outdoor carpet, a plastic storage tub, a cooler, and a sleeping bag. I went all over the west with that thing. :D I really liked the 22-24 MPG, but getting...

/quote There our issues with both types of batteries. maintaince with water and venting on agm or overfrying and cost of the gel kind so you just have to keep an eye on there levels. quote/ AGM batteries are sealed and don't outgas. You don't need to ever fill them, in fact you can't. They...

You talked me into it It might be a bit cool, but its cool in the house too. My heatpump died this weekend. :mad: I'll head up there early Saturday afternoon.

Nice! I like it! And I want one. But I can't make it to Death Valley I'll order as soon as you post the instructions.

Another view I took this pic before Kyle showed up. Thanks to Scott for setting this up.

Don't worry about it My 1991 Chevy did the same thing. The first set of brakes lasted about 160,000 miles and I had another 100,000 on the second set when I sold it. My 2005 GMC does it too. My 99 Jeep doesn't, so it must be a GM thing.

Sounds like fun! I'll mark my calendar, I plan on being there.

I'm ready Hi, newcomer oldnslow here. I've not posted before. I live in Tucson with a GMC 2500 and FWC Hawk shell. I'm definitely up for a pop-up bowl if its within a days drive of Tucson.
