during the down pour we had two couples, one in a nice jeep and one in a grand vitara, stuck at our camp site. after words we knew they would not be able to go back up Shefer switch backs due to the mud and below us the river had turned into a 2' deep river. We waited hours and it went down to...

after this all the roads were cookie dough or a river of mud.

I attempted elephant hill with my camper on last May. youtube "Nissan four wheel camper elephant" and I think you can get some some videos! what an amazing area. and great pictures you got here.

I believe your battery is what provides the power and the 110V land power that you have plugged in goes through the IOTA charger with a constent "trickle" charge to the battery. so kind of like you said, you need the battery to complete the circut. you can buy a 30$ device (it will plug right...

I had a set of Timbrens on last year when I went to Moab with my Eagle in the bed. they took a beating going over Elephants hill in Canyonlands Natl Park, and came out looking just as they did when I put them on. that is strange you have had issues with them, they should be near bullet proof...

I have a pair of cheap 5 watt panels on the roof of my camper, though I do have a controler between them and the battery, they keep the batteries topped off perfectly. it is theonly source my batteries have to keep a charge and it has worked great for nearly a year now. If they are getting...

It is my understanding that stove tops designed to run inside a camper, rv or motorhome are regulated differently than an outside camp stove, thus emitting no CO when in use. A campstove outputs CO, and they come with warnings about using indoors without proper ventalation. Maybe I'm wrong...

Be careful running a camp stove inside the camper without proper ventilation! The stoves that come installed in our campers are designed for use inside campers....camp stoves are not. Very Valid point. I would never have it running without the window directly adjacent open and the roof vent...

So last night I started putting everything back together. I insulated the propane storage cubby from the inside of the camper while I had the cabinet apart with some 1/2" rigid insulation. then cut some 3/4" plywood to fill in the counter where the sink and stove were cut out and bondo'ed over...

I have dual 5watts working in parrelel running through a solar controller so it trickles charges, does not over charge and bulk charges as needed. as long as I have direct sun I have no problems running the AC/DC converter to charge laptop and run a small set of computer speakers for the day...

And the third picture as described in the above posting.

here is a link to the "hatch" type I ordered: http://www.pompanette.com/pompweb.nsf/731d6514ff5a8481852567be000745b2/c725f9390602558d85256a380060c4ca?OpenDocument And a couple pictures. one from last weekend and one of the side of the camper with the moved outlet and the hole cut for the...

I have been considerng for a while removng the build in two burner stove, sink and water tank. well I finaly pulled the trigger when I got back from a weekend out and around Mount Hood last weekend. I have pulled the stove, sink and carefully pulled the water tank out. ordered a nice sheet of...

Looks good and thanks for the pictures………..Is that a home made winch cradle mount? I bought the Warn one that seems overpriced for some metal welded together. I got the 4 Runner wired front and rear for the winch. Great spot for the licenses plate. Renuel used a strip hinge and mounted it...

It has been a while since I last posted up here so I thought I would share some recent pictures. I upgraded the suspension on the truck with some high end coil overs and new upper arms on the front end and a new leaf pack that added about 2.5" of lift the rear along with the lnger shackles...

that looks great. I have been relocated to Eugene Oregon about a year ago but still own a hous ein Moscow IDaho so I still have the Idaho plates. I miss those adventures. So many more of Oregons roads are paved! Idaho just seemed to have endless gravel roads all over the state. ever been...

Greetings Have been looking on the used market for a FWC for my 2001 Tundra. I wanted some opinions on the pluses and minuses on the models. The Eagle is shorter (53" versus 58") and not as wide (69" versus 80") than the Hawk. Does this make it more suitable for 4 wheeling in actual usage? I...

cleaned the ports on the thing and ran it last weekend in 90 plus heat. took about 4 hours to go from 90 to 55. not bad at all. by the next morning it was down to mid 40's. I am happy with that given the low was probably 55 or 60 that night. thanks for the help guys. I will be sure to keep...

I would never say the camper is perfectly level. probably one of the biggest faults of this fridge. says it can only be out by a couple degrees in any direction. somehow they should let it work up to maybe 10degrees out of level. sitting in the driveway right now though, it is within a...

How big should the flame be? right now it is about a 3/4" tall blue flame. gets hot. but is sometimes a real bugger to light. I have to use one of those long skinny lighters to get in there and get it. the "clicker" never seems to get it. I will check it out. just confirmed it works...

The Norcold fridge in the camper is not getting cold at all while running on propane. Had it on all weekend with propane, but nothing. gets cold on AC and DC just fine. Does the power need to be on for the fridge to get cold on propane? It worked fantastic last winter, but I usualy had the...

Why two 5 wats and not one 10 watt: because that is all I coudl find localy. good call on the "weak link", I wil consider that this weekend when I get back to it.
