Most excellent full reporting. I greatly appreciate it. Looking forward to the inside parts.

But how will you reconcile the upper fabric color that you hate so much with whatever color you make the new siding? Inquiring minds want to know!

Great pics and story, keep it up. I plan a 1991 Grandby interior remodel myself at some point. Interesting idea about the propane relocation, I might have to do that since I'm going to ditch the furnace for a Wave. Then I can keep the old propane door for an external storage location but reduce...

I have no idea how to get this into my TomTom on iPhone but will hunt the interwebs for some clues. Thank you US.

Nice report! It is hard to remember that you are still in Oregon over there. Yeah, and we were only about half-way across the state. After wandering for a few days, I showed my wife the big Oregon map and how much insanely further away the Owyhee and Steens were from our trip and we were both...

The hardened road warrior daughter and I took the other member of our family on a few day trip last week. We left Portland via I-84, past The Dalles, then 97 to 206 to Condon. Brief halt in Condon with not much to do. We had thought about hitting a little museum there but apparently mid-day...

If you find your self close to Newberg (or Hillsboro during regular weekday business hours) and want to take a look at my Edgestar in person, just left me know.... Thanks much US. I don't make it that-a-way too much, but if I ever do, I will give you a shout. I should be going to Carlton in...

Here's a shot with 320lb loaded at the front end of the cantilever. The tip of the cantilever dips down 1/4" which is fine with me however I'm displeased with the flexing I'm getting in the door gap. The door opening width at the top spreads about 5/16" with that load on it and may can door...

...The 3 does well into the 20's in my Grandby, raises the inside temp maybe 35 degrees. This may be the single most helpful piece of information I've heard about the Wave 3. I too have a Grandby, and sometimes get stuck in 20 degree weather. I will soon be ripping out by fridge and furnace and...

I am in the market for an Edgestar, ARB or Engel fridge but want to get the right one. I know the Edgestar has a higher amperage draw listed on the panel, but I've read that that might not translate to a real-world performance hit. Does anyone have first-hand experience with the power draw of...

Orifice didn't get cleaned before the trip. DC power did not hold temp below about 50 F, even when on full max. Except when it did, which was unpredictable. LP and DC both appear to be freaky. The main door fell off real good again, but it does that once per trip at least. The icebox door...

Great brief TR Ugly, 'specially for those of us in the hood. This sounds like a nice quick trip for me and the daughter some time. Can you share more details on the rest of his trip? Or is it obvious if I look at a map, which I don't have handy at the moment.

Indeed helpful thank you Stan. I'm going to tackle this after the trip. But I think that's what I said during my last trip.

It took me a few days to be sure, but I need to clean the orifice and burner on my Dometic RM 2201. I came to this conclusion by the following: 1. Fridge always lights and cools rapidly and well enough on propane. 2. After about four days of continuous propane use, it fails to continue cooling...

I read on another site that it will be a 2.3 and 2.8 liter Duramax. I know that'll just be a borrowing of the Duramax name, but maybe that indicates a desire to sell in the US.

Rock Creek cg has some excellent bouldering (rock climbing sans ropes with crash pads below). Well, the whole Bishop area has world-class bouldering and this is just one of many spots. As others have said, no free camping but the few times I've been there in the summer, it's been empty. Not sure...

I know many of your bemoan the lack of a midsize diesel truck in the US. It looks like your moans are being answered: http://www.insideline.com/chevrolet/colorado/gm-to-resurrect-midsize-trucks.html The only question is when will it show up. My guess is late 2012. I don't think I can fit my...

If you don't mind the extra expense, you might add some RV antifreeze to the greywater bucket before you start collecting water. That's a great idea dog, thanks! Until now, I've just made sure to pull the hose out of the container before nightfall. If it's frozen in the morning, I'll just set...

Stick the litter box in the camper, lock her in for a night, at home. Familiar smells and all. I know some RVers (Class-A) that have an RV cat. She leaves the RV at campsites, but always stays close. I think they got her as a little kitty and they're full-timers so it's all she's known.

The verdict is still out on the bike rack. I made the wheel loops removable and the bolt pattern the same as a standard Yakima fork block so I can change those out if I want. Okay keep us posted on that and the other camper systems. I bought a top-tube hangy-style bike rack which I use on the...

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread, I now have roof lifting helper shocks thingies on my 1991 Grandby. I think every camper has a different screw pattern, roof clamp placement and accessories so every install varies a bit. For me, I was able to reuse holes and screws for top and...

Need some padding on the cabinet back for lounging in the dinette. Does the bed not pull out? Planning on staying single forever? I'd put my mountain bike in a hanger like that, but some guys I ride with would never let it get suspended in by the front wheel for fear of stressing the rim. I...

Looks like DD's new camper! New ATC WTW Edition

Like others have said, I keep most things in the camper. However I always have a paper list of things that should live in the camper. I add things and cross out others as the trip progresses. I always bring a little air machine/tire filler, an extension cord, and an ammo can with...
