And soon it will hit the East Coast also I read that and unfortunately realize that sooner or later it will become a law there, then the state I live in, good 'ol Taxachusetts will copy the law and add another fee on with it. (Politicians don't have a common sense portion of their thought...

I've been out shopping for a newer camper, mainly because my current one is over 20 years old. Biggest things I list as criteria are: 1) cassette toilet or porta potty with space around it to actually be able to use it. 2) refrigerator, no ice box 3) at least a 2 burner stove 4) heater 5)...

A new fire extinguisher is cheap insurance. I buy one a year for about $30.00 and then rotate them between the truck, the house, the shed, the boat, and the camper. I never let any of them get older than 5 years old, and when they hit 5 years, I discharge them in a practice fire drill out in the...

I use a separate CO detector, battery operated and mounted at head level when sleeping. Reason is that CO is the same density as air, and the CO detector is sensitive enough that it will trip prior to the CO being too high in the camper. As for the LPG detector, my camper didn't come with one...

Got mine yesterday when I stopped in at my folks to get my mail (My father stops in once a week to pick up the mail at the post office) Only problem I have is that I'm contemplating trading in the Sunline for a SunLite or Lance. So now I'm stuck between putting the stickers on my current 20...

Norcold has arrived The new Norcold N300 was delivered Monday, as I was notified today by my father on the phone. So now as soon as the Ice and Snow melts off, i can get the camper out and get the new fridge in. Still working on the camper project, lots of notes, planning, and even more notes...

First thing is NEVER EVER ADMIT you were going faster than the Speed Limit. that was told to me by a State Trooper who issued hundreds of citations a month. Second, ask to see the radar. If told "No" kindly request the officer explain why you are not allowed to see the radar and take notes...

The Cabelas Adapter is close to what I'm using, just the difference is on mine I have a 5 foot hose between the ends. Works great. Just doesn't last all night in cold temps, probably would change the tank around 2AM if put on at 10AM with the heater and fridge running. Nice part is if you run...

I use screw in adapters, converts the connector on the hose to the 20# tanks to the 1# tanks. Paid probably $40.00 from a local RV Parts dealer. The downfall is that you have to hook the hose to the adapter to convert it to a hand connection to the left hand thread connection, then the left hand...

Back to the question at hand Took me a while to get to the end of the thread so that I can add my 2 cents worth (although last time I checked the 2 cents were only worth 1 cent due to the falling dollar :) ) I'm running a small hardsided truck camper, a Sunline 750C. Compact, yes. Small, yup...

Thanks for the info. I just ordered a Norcold N300 2 way, LP and 110AC from PPL. They were the cheapest and most economical for right now. I'm still looking at the 12V compressor models, but the prices are far more than I can justify to spend this year. Plus with the igniter solution, I'll be in...

Howdy all, I'm looking to upgrade my camper refrigerator and wondering which to get. Right now I have an Ice Box that requires filling once a day to keep the food cold in the fridge, the original refrigerator was a Dometic 2301 LP/110AC model that after 19 years the cooling system developed...

Lots of good info, a couple books I carry in my camper is the Boy Scout Handbook, First Aid Merit Badge Book, and Boy Scout Field Book. These 3 books cover everything from wilderness survival, first aid, cooking, orienteering, etc. These are good references, but nothing beats a good training...

Won't be headed out until late April or Early May. The camper is slated to get a new fridge this year and the only trip planned is to the sportsman show this week and the RV show in 2 weeks to check out a new truck camper or get ideas for when I build my own depending on which is cheaper and...

I've used the collapsable clear containers, and best thing to do is get a piece of hose that fits snug on the spout, about 2 feet of clear hose. This way you can see how fast the flow is into the Water Fill of your camper. Lots of good ideas, the other thing I use is the collapsable 5 gallon...

I carry 2 packs of Lynx Leveller Blocks, they're like large flat square Legos for campers. I also carry a 2' Level, and try to pick the best flat spot when backing into a campsite. This year I'm working on getting one of the Vehicle Incline Gauges for my truck, zero out the gauge set (front to...

In 2007 I spent 1 night, after I bought it and spent the whole weekend doing repairs and troubleshooting problems. In 2008 I spent 14 nights in it, 3 long weekend trips, mainly because working 6 days a week doesn't allow the luxury of camping as much as I would like. This year the plan is to...

Biggest thing is airflow and positive pressure. I have a hard sided camper and in the cold it gets some moisture on the walls and roof, especially in the cab over sleeper. Reason is that you are breathing in air, and exhaling air and moisture. I found that running the furnace works, opening the...

Howdy all, My favorite campground is Indian Hollow Campground run by the Army Corp of Engineers here in Massachusetts. Designed for large groups, it's 2 large fields with flush toilets and hot showers. Downfall is you need a group to reserve it. My second favorite place is the Dry River...
