My wife and I got our first jab on February 12th at a hospital about an hour from home. We scheduled our appointments on our health-system portal. After many days of trying, I happened to check the portal just as 15 appointments appeared for that hospital. As I selected one I yelled to my...

Thanks for that, Patrick. That makes a lot of sense. FWC has done the same with other things-- like screen doors, solar pre-wiring and extended cabover. My experiences with 3M Adhesive Remover and also with Citra-Solv. I came to the conclusion that the 3M stuff worked a bit better but it...

That does seem odd. My 2001 Hawk shell has the velcro flaps along the interior roof for an arctic pack. Also- I'd be wary of a sticky-back velcro solution. Sewn-through sticky-back velcro was used on my Hawk for its storm flaps (on the exterior side of the vinyl) and the adhesive melted and...

You might check whether your thermostat has an "anticipator". This clip from an Atwood service manual describes the idea... (Click to enlarge) I took this photo of the Atwood mechanical thermostat this morning. The 'stat is from my 2001 Hawk. I was curious whether it would look like the...

:) (We like to watch an episode just before going to bed. They're short enough to fill in that odd bit of time left over after watching a movie or something. And they're always funny and upbeat.)

Our favorite TV series right now is about small Canadian towns and I'd like to recommend it as part of your trip planning / familiarization process while you wait for your camper to be ready. It's called "Still Standing" and is hosted by a very talented comedian, Johnny Harris. There are four...

PaulT's +2 rating in his post above caught my eye so I bought a bag of Bob's Red Mill yellow grits at my local natural foods store yesterday. I had very tasty Old-Bay-dusted grilled shrimp on Bob's yellow grits for supper last night. And of course there were leftover grits so today's lunch was...

There's an interesting discussion on power consumption off-grid (reported as 116 watts) in the Starlink subreddit.... Starlink Beta Field Report: drove into a local national forest with no reception. It works here are the results. (if you're not interested in getting on Reddit, here's a link...

I believe it would have been an Atwood G6A-8E. .

Was the trickle charger still connected to the truck battery (and plugged in) when you did those last two voltage checks?

Info: I just received a text and email telling me the the AT&T problem (Inreach SMS messages to AT&T phones) is happening again. This is what it looks like in email: ----------- Some inReach SMS messages are not being delivered to AT&T customers New incident: Investigating...

I can't answer on the AT&T issue but I did want to provide some info for anyone interested in Inreach status info. Garmin has several ways to check the status of the Inreach system as described at this Garmin Support Center page. Out of curiosity, I subscribed to the text and email...

I've had no problem with the iPad keeping up using its GPS chip. It's actually kind of amazing given the iPad is inside the truck and I'm often driving through fairly heavy tree cover. Having said that, I agree that using one on an adventure bike may not be practical. That reminds me of a...

I switch around between my Montana 650t GPS (with optional City Navigator maps) on the windshield and various apps on my iPad Mini4 (mounted on a ProClip mount beside the steering wheel). When I travel with my brother, he usually drives most of the time, so I put the Mini4 on a tall cup mount...

Good one! And that's a good idea to include the documentation here.... HydroFlame BRC-10 Info Sheet: Installation Manual: Maintenance and Service Manual page 1: Maintenance and Service Manual page 2: Maintenance and Service Manual page 3: Maintenance and Service Manual page 4:

You might look for a plate on the furnace to determine its model number and then to some Google searches for more info. Just searching for Hydroflame brings up too many results. If it's a Hydroflame BRC-10, for example, here's an installation manual for that one. It appears the BRC-10 is a...

Click on the Steps to Wiring a Truck link in this post. That's from a few years ago but should give you some good info. Note that wire colors change at the the Atwood plug. Also- the battery isolator shown in that diagram is the older Sure Power 1314/1314A one. The diagram shows a 30-amp...

That appears to be a 20-pound tank-- also known as a 5-gallon tank. If you look on the collar, you will probably see numbers stamped into it. If you want to post those numbers and letters we may learn something. If nothing else it would tell us whether an older tank like that was using the...

Since you asked for other alternatives... I use a horizontal tank since I only had to pay a few bucks to get my 2001 tank re-certified but it is possible to put an 11-pound 'squatty' vertical tank in my Hawk's propane locker. My horizontal tank looks like this: An 11-pound squatty looks...

Yes, it is indeed new-to-old and that works for me. If your old hook-side velcro has deteriorated so much that a new loop-side strip won't hold to the hook-side at all, the strip idea won't work for you. I'd just encourage you be sure that is indeed the case (if you've not already done...

Personally, I'd be reluctant to punch new holes in the vinyl (with the stitching awl) unless there just wasn't any other choice. I'm sure it can be done but I'd want to figure out how I'm going to seal those holes before proceeding. .

More on the strip idea-- I've been surprised to see how well the little strips of velcro do at preventing the flaps from falling down. And if you want to make them stronger, just use wider velcro or do both sides. When I'm ready to leave, I just lift the lower side of the strip and roll...

I had the same problem on my 01 Hawk and came up with this: (Click to enlarge) The one on the left is what I use. It's just a ten-inch piece of velcro loop material-- the sew-on type. I normally just put one side on and that has worked well. I added the one on the right for this photo as...
