Gee, I forgot about this post. :unsure: This past fall we spent 3 nights in central Indiana in the Hoosier National Forest http://www.fs.usda.gov/hoosier. The night time temperature was in the low 40s. The 3/4" R4 foam board + 1/4" tempered masonite board was about .01% help. :( Mike

We use a Camco (White) TastePURE Drinking Water Hose. Mike

Geez, if I was 40 years younger and made $150K/yr... I would have to add another bay to my garage... right next to my loved ATC 2008 Cougar! http://www.actioncamper.com/camper.php Mike

My Cougar is either on my truck and traveling or in my pole barn... so, it will be awhile (this Fall) before I can fill the water tank. I will also be sanitizing the whole potable water system use Chlorinating Concentrate (Sodium Dichloro-s-Triazinetricone or Sodium Dichlor for short). See...

While working on a mod to my ATC Cougar, I noticed there is mold in the potable water tank overflow tube! On our last trip we probably never filled up with (chlorinated) city water and here at home we are on a well system. In the first picture notice the small section of tubing with mold...

Bottom line folks – if you can’t walk back down the trail and be proud of the way you have disposed of your waste, that you have left no trace whatsoever – stay home. I am growing tired of cleaning up after people, especially in a place as beautiful as this. WAG BAG® ==>...

That's sorta a good idea.I think some places still might think that is "littering" even though all will decompose in a quick fashion.Just a thought.Sure wouldn't want to get a huge fine doing that. Frank Completely agree! We prefer BLM land, and we ALWAYS bring out a grocery bag full of burned...

Currently I'm using a drip setup, but not really enjoying the amount of waste (grounds+filter) so I may investigate a metal mesh drip cone/cup thing. Use your favorite coffee funnel and biodegradable coffee filters. After making your drip coffee, hold the funnel and fling it as hard as you can...

Geez, I am going to have to check TWO places now. :( (when hell freezes over) I am a retired IT guy (was in charge of 3000 PCs, in 125 cities, and 5 states), but I am refusing to facebook, tweet, or what else that stuff is called. And, I want a stupid phone with big buttons. Sorry to hear...

Don. I have not done any lengthy trip yet. Drove briefly on freeway yesterday and didn't hear anything at all (windows closed). Chris Since I have the typical old guy can not hear high frequencies problem, I probably would only notice the dogs howling as I drove by. :D Mike

At a trailhead I will walk around and look for broken vehicle glass or other signs of past vehicle break ins. I have changed plans based on findings like this. Duh... this tip is great and pretty obvious now that you mention it. :o Mike

Heading out first thing in the morning, first stop Hoover Dam to see the new bridge. We will take Hwy 93 all the way to Kalipell and Glacier Park. So glad to finally be done preparing and get on with it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_93 This highway was known to be one of the...

Mike!!! Howyadoin'? Now, doing pretty good! Right after we got our ATC Cougar in 2008 and took our 1st long trip, we did NOT realize how expensive college was going to be for our two daughters!!!! For the next four years, my wife worked 40+ hrs/wk as a school teacher AND 30+ hrs/wk at a local...
