The gauge on my horizontal propane tank sucks! I bought that weight gauge after our 52 day trip thru British Columbia, the Yukon, and Alaska. In Whitefish, Yukon, the gauge said the propane tank was half full or half empty. So, we went to get it filled, but "the guy" said it would only take...

Because of my ATC Cougar horizontal tank, I use this... https://www.amazon.com/Grill-Gauge-GG-1100-Original/dp/B0012GTU3O http://grillgauge.com/

How big of a trailer do I you need to haul that around?

That is the exact one I have (for 3 or 4 years), and works with no problem. It use 2 AAA batteries. I like this one because no extra switches to confused an oldie... me. HaHa... Amazon... "Get professional installation only + $94.95"

Pretty weird replying to myself... I talked with Jeff two days ago and he said they now ONLY use the offset brackets, and they first mount the roof brackets 10" in and let the bottom brackets end wherever. Mike

I called Marty a few days ago, he said the only FLAT brackets were rear top. I have an '08 ATC Cougar with two Fantastic 3 Speed Fans and the "Luggage and Boat Rack" option (about 16' of 1" square tubing). Maybe ATC & FWC models have different setups? Mike

Not sure what "vehicle? wheel dollies" are. Can't you just lower the camper on the Harbor Freight dollies, move camper to corner of shop, remove jacks? (I just leave the jacks on mine.. kind of CYA in case guano happens..) Mike

Here is my experience with my On Stage SS8800BPLUS Speaker Stand... Bought 7/29/2012: used 89 nights since then, times 2 up/downs of speaker stand = 178... round up for the very few times we would use other than spending the night = 225 up/downs. On our 11,555 mile bucket list trip (52 nights...

A roll of Reflectix 2' x 25' is about 10" in diameter... where do you store something that huge? We (the wife) made an arctic pack following ski3pin's great article, but messed up and used warmcompany.com/products/warm-home/insul-bright. (It was on sale at Jo-Ann Fabrics.) That stuff sticks...

FYI... According to www.eaglelight.com/category/lighting_tutorials.color_temperature/

Thanks everyone for the replies and I did learn more about blue light. I already was going to replace my 1141 bulbs with natural white LEDs. Sorry I was not very clear what I was asking. Is a 190 lumen LED the about same brightness as the 264 lumen 1141? OR Is a 280 lumen LED about the same...

According to http://www.jwspeaker.com/bulbs/ these incandescent bulbs have these specs: 1141 Current:1.440 Watts:18.00 Candlepower:21 Lumens:264 (I have four of these inside) 1156 Current:2.100 Watts:27.00 Candlepower:32 Lumens:402 1003 Current:0.938 Watts:12.00 Candlepower:15 Lumens:189 (I have...

Bill, very cool and funny video! :D Which alcohol? DOUBLE CROOKED TREE IPA (ABV: 12%) or BOURBON BARREL PLEAD THE 5TH IMPERIAL STOUT (ABV: 12%) http://www.darkhorsebrewery.com/the-beers Mike

I just ordered mine... green and inside mount (with .COM) Thanks, Bill! Mike

Any chance ".COM" can be added to this sticker? Most people would have NO clue what "WANDERTHEWEST" is. Every person that has asked me about my ATC Cougar, I also tell them a very short story about the FWC/ATC history and then tell them about wanderthewest.COM Mike

http://www.abtcosiding.com/usa/products/trims-and-finishes/soffits Just cut the 12' piece into 4' lengths and use them with the 12" side facing out? Will they support the 4" mattress and 170# me and 135# wife? Mike

We just got back from driving around Lake Superior and did not notice any change in filling. Mike P.S. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Superior -> The Ojibwe call the lake gichigami, meaning "be a great sea." Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the name as "Gitche Gumee" in The Song of...

From my 1st post in this thread, "Yes, I can easily still close the camper top." I had to adjust the turbuckles a little, but it still closed just fine. Mike P.S. I removed the foam board and FRP panel... about zero help for us.
