The next test should be with the fridge filled with items. Perhaps pre-chilled water bottles would be good, mimiking our pre-chilled food that gets loaded before we head out to camp. As you say and know "It is challenging for a fridge to keep constant cool with nothing in it so it runs a lot...

Yes, velcro adhesive dots. Five of them across the top only, gravity hangs the curtain flat. Curtain is made like a pillow case, except there is no openng for a pillow, just double layer of fabric, seams sewed with a small opening unsewed for turning curtain inside out, then hand stitched to...

Either Marty of Jeff at All Terrain Campers suggested just cutting down the black slider, moving the screen support bar (if needed) and re-doing the center section of the sceen (wider, if needed)... as the window is much smaller in width than the width of the screen door. Total cost just the...

That's exactly how the Thule TK1 "nuts" look like.

Thanks for the info on your Ranger. Most of us that are Ranger fans, are looking forward to the re-start of production of the Ranger in the U.S. as indicated back in April, 2016 in a L.A. Times newspaper article... "The UAW's new four-year contract with Ford, signed last year, guarantees new...

Different strokes for different folks. I used to have my ATC Bobcat shell interior set up with 110VAC cooking (induction cooktop, microwave, toaster oven) and a bathroom wall heater. All powered, only one ON at a time, with a Honda 2000 generator. Used 12VAC, (solar only, 100 amp battery) only...

OK, thanks PaulT & K7MDL. I appreciate the help.

Thanks. I like solid state stuff. Let's check my understanding... I'd just like to understand it all. Control Voltage Range -> 3.5 VDC to 32 VDC so our 12 VDC is within range. Load Voltage Rating -> 3.5 VDC to 32 VDC, so our 12 VDC is within range. Load Current Rating -> 3 amps, so the fans...

I'm not an Electrical Engineer, however, let's see if my research has been successful. From those that are talking about powering the OEM and AUX fridge fans via a sugar cube relay, I had to refresh my memory of a single pole single throw relay and what terminal connections are connected to...

I suggest that you drive more and camp more. You'll desensitize yourself to it, just like I did after about the first 3-4 months of ownership. OK, honey, we need to go camping... again !

From my personal experience, unless you have a pretty wimpy air conditioner, the Honda 2000 won't do the job. Just not enough amperage output, even at the highest RPM's. You can get the "companion" Honda 2000 (a special unit) and link it together with your existing Honda 2000 (have you already...

And, now that I've had a chance to look at mine, I used NEW holes, as well (left the original roof screws in place).

I used NEW larger diameter screws and maybe slightly longer (but, not a lot longer) on my Bobcat.

Excellent & creative!

Early in my ATC Bobcat experience I made this ladder. Almost an extra support for the pull out bed slider, even though it doesn't need it. Friction against the carpet on the floor (notice large flat bottom piece just for that function) and a very slight downward pressure from the pull out bed...

While I have an excellent mattress right from ATC, I do drive with the bed extended and the mattress in it's normal sleeping extended position. When I camp, I lift the rear of the top first, then I just remove the two extended mattress pads, place them on the floor, on their edge, leaning...

Depending on the type of frame, you might be able to cut it tight and you may not even need the Velcro. I used it that way on an RV, just wedge it in place.

When I was carrying them I didn't even think of putting above the fender wells in the truck bed. I suppose they could fit there, however, might be best to have some sort of mounting system to hold them in place on a rough road. There is no room between the fender wells, on the bottom of the...

I "could" leave the sleeping bags, but not the pillows, just like Frank. However, my process inside the camper is... I like to roll up the sleeping bags as soon as we're up and at 'em in the AM. With that done, I pull the two sections of the slider mattresses and toss them on the forward part...

Congratulations on the decision you made to go with ATC. Marty & Jeff are the best there are. Air bags may not be enough of an upgrade, however, you'll know by the time you get home. I started with air bags and then decided to go with some heavy duty rear leaf springs. Yes, you will know you...

Bear Canisters, many brands and sizes. Some better than others. Un-openable by bears, and some humans. Mostly for food & trash, however, also good for anything that has a "smell"... toothpaste, sun lotion, make-up. Backpacking, camping, motorcycle overnight trips, and even in campers, anywhere...

Really neat. I think I'd like a SHELL version. - - - - - - - - - - - What is it going to be named? BIG CAT TOP CAT LION TIGER LEOPARD - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jaguar (stay away from that one, too many lawsuits)

People laugh when I say it... Predator-Pee, Wolf Urine. Wolves are at the top of the 4 legged kingdom's food chain. I've seen foot print evidence of bears in the Southern Sierra outside the area I've sprayed, but, never inside or close to the camper. The question is if I did nothing, would I...

Mine had a locking pin. After removal of the spring type of pin, the end snapped on to the ball, and then the pin gets inserted, turned and snap locked into position.
