Thanks for the TR hawk!

I received them in the mail today along with Malheur River Country. And my wife *JUST* said, "These are nice maps!" And she's no mapophile. You can get them by calling the BLM office (in my case, Portland) and giving out a credit card over the phone. Maps showed up in the mail with no shipping...

ONDA ?

Huh, now that is an option. It looks like I might be getting more like 9 days in which case I might try to cram it all in. Thanks for the advice guys.

My wife and 7 y.o. hardened road warrior daughter are heading out to explore SE Oregon, leaving in approximately one month. We will have six days round trip from Portland, so it will have to be something of a whirlwind tour. A proposed route. Let me know if I'm missing any crucial destinations...

Thanks for the Whitehorse (Ranch) Rd #203 hint. I am working on the path now for our trip to SE Oregon in a few short weeks. I am personally fond of terrible roads, but with wife along, she always thinks we're going to break something whenever we hit a pothole. Knowing that is a good road...

Well ****, I hope I dont see hordes of visitors when I head there in a few weeks.

I think you're lying about it all. Show me pics to convince otherwise :)

I'm not sure if it would clear the side of the camper. Anyone care to try?

With all of the idiot drivers on the road these days I wouldn't want to have any spare fuel attached to the rear of my vehicle at bumper height (or any other height). If you have a fuel can on the back and get rear ended....you could be turned into a fire ball. +1 for diesel-powered trucks!

Old thread, I know, but leadsled, which fridge are you talking about? My Dometic 3-way (1991 era Grandby, don't have the model number on hand) has the symptoms described here where it'll get cold, but three days later, it warms up. I've done a couple trips like this so far and need to get it...

Super excellent, thank you Marc for the emailing.

This might be an extremely good deal. But living in SoCal and AZ, it might have roof leaks that no one knows about.

This evening I sent the Burns District BLM an e-mail asking about Steens Mt. camping regs, so I expect they'll let me know. Mark, will you also do my job for me and ask them if the entire loop road will be open this year at all due to construction?

Nat- let's revisit this as it gets closer. Would be fun to hook up somewhere if schedules permit. Anyone else up for a small unofficial rally? I will post a thread in the trip planning section as the time approaches.

I might see you down there. I will be there about that time, maybe a bit sooner with wife and 7 y.o. daughter for a grand tour of SE Oregon. We're avoiding Nevada, or rather saving it for a later trip. I think two weeks is what we're planning round-trip from Portland.

For folks wishing to monitor more parameters than the factory guages....there are monitoring devices that plug into your computer port. I have the EDGE Insight CTS on my truck. They even have mounting pods for specific truck applications and look like a factory install. Heck of a gauge there...

Yep, that should be your pre-wiring for solar. (in case you want to add it down the road) And if I only have two wires at the front lift panel, those are just lights, right?

If you have that much heat coming out of your heater you need a new one. My 96% heater uses PVC pipe for the exhaust. Bill, there's still a lot of hot air coming from that PVC. Especially during those cold winter and early spring months when a greenhouse needs heat for growing 'maters and...

My pending Grandby remodel is going to have a built-in nook for a corny keg so I can dispense homebrew and hard cider. (I made about 500 gallons of cider last year and do a lot of trading for beer.) It's just too much effort to deal with bottles, especially on camping trips when so many empties...

I would have enjoyed your post more if you'd ripped some cabinets out and done some mods right away. You know, break things.

I'm on the Truck Camper Magazine mailing list, so read your report earlier today. It was a fun read! Yeah, it was a good read. I was thinking, "This guy should have put it on WtW!"

Scheefdog, your photos and reports are a boon to the community, even though you've been getting relatively few comments. Excellent job, keep it up with the pics.

I did this job a couple months ago and it went well. I tore some of the aluminum roof skin when I was cleaning off the old silicone caulk the previous owner had applied. I was able to super-goo it with silicone and no leaks. On older campers, the aluminum skin can get thin so BE CAREFUL!
