For time being, and because only one side of front panel was effected, I 2x4 braced the top up and removed screws to drop panel. Then made an aluminum sheet .060, I think, doubler to go over pulled through rivet heads, Drilled out old rivets and drove new ones. Going to be more aggressive in...

If skeletonized, paint or dip not going to do much, Prodex, ( insulation4less.com), could be bonded to back sides. I'd like to use screws instead of rivets so could get it down periodically to clean behind plates. Thin panhead # 10 stainless.. Trying to get a sample of some 3/16" structural...

Aluminum panels of same thickness would be much heavier, and transmit cold and heat rapidly.. I measure current plywood at 4mm. (.158"). And don't know type of this used in 1999 when mine was built. Has white laminate on face. Tubing used in post on this forum " This Old Granby Build topic...

Interesting today called FWC to purchase composite panels. They will not sell them or material to make them. Will only do $$$$ install of them...So trying to source my own material. As FWC says on one of their videos, sourcing good plywood now a problem, one reason they have gone to composite...

Was the thickness of the emt tubing a problem when folded on top of mattress? Any problems with lift with below freezing conditions? Thinking of using stronger aluminum, 6061 T6..

Thanks for the reply, I'm interested with any problems with composite plates. I need a new liner too. However ATC won't use composite for rebuilding lift plates, they still use wood??? And, get a little miffed when I mention it, without a reason why? But, do not like new FWC's liner with...

Much better to use Prodex: R value of Reflectix is almost nothing. http://www.insulation4less.com

Ever get an answer to this? Looking to replace my wood ones on 2000 Granby with composite as rivets are starting to pull out on ends of plates.. ATC has told me this is most likely due to liner being put on too tight. Betting this Is an installation issue also..

Yes, this must happen mostly when tie down turn buckles vibrate loose, particularly the rear ones. Factory bumpers are mounted at bottom of camper. For now, I'm just going to release tie downs back off camper and put the rubber bumpers I just got from Graingers in bottom of bed then slide...

If I will be allowed to diverge for a moment: And putting all the modern political implications aside: Here out in the great Southwest desert region, shooting is still a sport.... At lease once a year, my friends and I set up a shooting camp out in the vast emptiness of the Great Mojave. With...

Got this from Canadian Embassy site: "Most ordinary hunting rifles and shotguns. These may be brought temporarily into Canada for sporting or hunting use during hunting season, for use in competition, for in-transit movement through Canada, or for personal protection against wildlife in remote...

Bodies found in Klamath River every year, friend in Weaverville tells me.

Are the Canadian customs officials still deciding on there own volition about whether or not you need a rifle or shotgun depending where you are going in Canada?? Last time I crossed to ski they told me I would not need any firearm if going to Banff or Jasper parks and that one could not take...

Ah paranoia..........my forte! My first day in Nam, one of our cooks stood by an mess hall hooch open back door, a VC sniper ended his culinary career.. As I said in my post that got deleted, In my 55 of camping, I've encountered Grizzly, Wolves and angry Moose, but man is still my biggest...

Tried searching all over net for any business with the sticker no luck yet, but found this printable pdf version. If you print it out and carefully over tape it on cylinder to look official should work. Or print on good photo paper and glue on, then overspray with fast drying clear poly...

Have also seen these that came from a Propane dealer:

No filling stations, gave me any grief when they saw this decal on old tank. But finally replaced mine with new OPD which won't hold as much propane for about $180 US.

I was able to get this sticker from a marine supply. Because Horizontal tanks were exempt as no valve was made for them at time of regulation change. Don't know if it will work in Canada? But was still using mine up to about a year ago.

Was that just the panels or whole liner? Did they have liner in stock? I believe they have them sewn up by Capitol Tarpaulin in Sacremento.

Have a look at 9" Bemco Ovens, for stove top, get much better ratings then Coleman. Can do two small pizzas. Bemco Backpacker Oven - Home Also use with backpacking stoves:

Thanks for info. Most likely cannot hide this unit on exterior of truck, will hide on near by tree or other natural structure aimed at truck to cover at lease 2-3 sides of it. Perhaps co-locate with my dig. infa-red trail camera..

Called manufacturer,( Dakota ), guess I was confused by their ad, the small receiver does not work with this system. And you are correct that after market antenna can increase range, but manufacturer cannot sell it per FCC rules. They stated their receiver not compatible with other MURS...

Their ad says 2 watts, I think Ham equipment would be overkill for me, for this project. If the transmitter holds intrusions in memory, it would at least inform me someone/thing was around my rig when on my way back to it. I try to not be more then a mile away from it unless other trusted...

My thoughts exactly, wondering in that range how they got the antenna that short? They claim 2 miles on long antenna model. I gather MURS being VHF, may be a little better in mountains, even with only 2 watts? Already have a Sat. phone on me, my daypack is going to get another battery eater......

Oh, mine has frozen numerous times if you force it, it will break. if I need to use it, I heat some water on stove put in a spray bottle and spray it down. I find it most handy when I need to wash my hands when outside....Could put a piece of foam around it......
