After having many rude people not paying attention to my crappy Tundra horns, I just bought a Stebel Nautilus Compact Truck Air Horn... 110 db at 2 meters, 134db at 4 inches! http://www.stebel.it (go to Products, click on pickup truck picture, click on "Nautilus Compact Truck Horn".) See this...

I very much enjoy seeing and reading about your excellent ideas and work skills! I especially like your "Random Thoughts", "Screwups" and "Sources". And we love pictures! Mike

As fast as membership is increasing, I'm not sure there is a need for a bumper (or camper) sticker. It seems people find the good stuff on there own. Here in the mid-west, popup truck campers are very rare and I am VERY happy being part of WTW. I have never ever had any bumper stickers and...

bump Mike

I just drove 3,561 miles with my Cougar camper and the turnbuckles stayed just fine the whole way. (They were "installed" by Marty at the ATC factory.) Those miles also include about 50 miles of single track "roads" around northern Montana. I even had one bump that caught me by surprises with...

According to Google it will be 2,290 miles one-way from Augusta, MI to the ATC factory. Update: Actual mileage was 2,304 miles one-way. Mike

We're at $4.50 per gallon in the Sacramento area and as you head up towards the redwoods it will increase. Hopefully the euphoria of finally getting your new camper will help numb the pain of the $4-5 gas in Cali. Yikes! I will save a tiny bit since my Chase credit card has a 5% rebate on gas...

I found a great Missouri DOT map that shows all the road construction/closings/floods/etc... http://maps.modot.mo.gov/travelerinformation/TravelerInformation.aspx Sunday when we leave Kalamazoo MI and head towards Chicago, we will take I55 or I57 southwest towards Springfield IL and then I72 to...

I80 in Iowa is closed I found this post on dslreports.com as of 2008-06-12 20:35:10...The Cedar River through Cedar Rapids is over 29 feet and is expected to reach 32 feet! The 500 year flood level was 26.5 feet. The is beyond belief. So, on Saturday 6/13, looks like we will be going to...

Marry Anjolina Jolie. I have said that before but I didn't use the "M" word. :eek: Mike

Birth Announcement! According to my answering message, Ben said my camper was ready 6/10/08 11:44 AM PST! :D We will be heading from Michigan to Sacrament (2200 miles) this Saturday 6/14 or Sunday 6/15. Because of the price of gas it will probably take us three days instead of our usual two...

Welcome Mr & Mrs Yukon, What a supper idea to build spatial prototypes to help visualize what works for you! :thumb: Yes, we love pictures. :D Mike

From time to time we get customers mounting their campers with Happijac tie downs. Is there any Pros or Cons vs the current/standard/normal method? Mike

... similar setup- Garmin and their software, plus I have TopoUSA. I find the Mapsource Garmin software very easy to use, but the TopoUSA is a bit awkward. Same here! :thumb: Side question, does anyone use one of those USA maps to keep track of what states you have visited, driven thru, camper...

STOCK not Stack Now that I know what it is, it does seem very obvious I did not need to ask. :o Mike

I have one in the camper on the wood bar that you use to push the roof up. Good idea :thumb: I also bought one of the red LED panels that go in the fixture. I'm a big fan of red light at night- it doesn't destroy your night vision. Great idea :thumb::thumb: Mike

Hmmmmm. So much for being helpful. Sorry guys. Jay, I very much hope I did not step on some toes. :o Sorry, Mike

I did not notice any significant mpg gains, but it sure is quieter on the road! Another plus is when passing trucks going the other way, there is much, much less of that vacuum whooshing that shakes the whole rig. After looking at your picture, maybe if you drive with the camper closed would...

FWIW, I only paid $80 (Oct 2007) for the medium => http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7654&postcount=16 Mike

I couldn't find the other posts on air dams or foils (I searched, but "air" is too short a term!) See this post => A better forum search! Mike

All of a sudden, the problem went away. Sounds like CRS to me... Can't Reply to Stuff. :D Mike

When you start talking about this kind of power draw, you may also be interested in using a circuit breaker or even better, a self resetting circuit breaker rather than a fuse. I do like the Bussman 185-series circuit breakers that combines switching and circuit breaker function into one unit...
