Do you have the rear ladder? What isn't showing is I had some 2" wide straps made that I use to hold the MaxTrax to the ladder so I'm not relying on the Trasharoo to hold them. I had the straps made with these side release buckles http://www.strapworks.com/Side_Release_Buckle_p/msrb-a.htm ...

A/C wiring has very defined requirements dictated by the NEC (White - Grounded Conductor or as usually called, Neutral, Hot is Black, Red, or Blue in the case of 3 phase 12/208, Brown, Orange, Yellow for 277/480. Other colors are used after a switch, Green is the Grounding Conductor) I think...

Will have to check it out, always interesting to see how true remote living is. Ever watch the film about Dick Proenneke, http://aloneinthewilderness.com/index.html Actually he filmed it himself as he built his cabin and lived in the wilds of Alaska by himself. Pretty incredible guy, lived...

Posting this quote without comment or opinion... "I thought he might be was suicidal until I saw the Arkansas plates," local photographer Tyler Whiteside told the Lost Coast Outpost. "He just didn't know." http://www.autoblog.com/2017/01/27/n...-ocean-rescue/ There's a hyperlink on the page...

If only we would allow natural selection to run its course, or at least let these extreme examples of shear stupidity continue to their natural conclusion. A missed opportunity to thin the herd and and maybe clean up the DNA pool, even if just a little..

Got both also, a Cobra 75 cb with the antenna on a drivers side fender mount, which are pretty easy to find, the the dual bander with a passenger side fender mount. Took a while to find that one, seems the only people making it are a same company in Canada. The CB antenna is a 4' Firestik on a...

Haven't had any comfort issues, it is still a work in process getting it fit just right though. Always get about 98% there and make an adjustment and have to start over again. I use it with my 70-200 2.8 which is not exactly a light and small lens. For hiking and rougher areas, scrambling...

Even got mine tattooed..

And up here in the Seattle area last week would have added more verses for Perry Como, the Bluest Skies you ever saw are in Seattle, chilly though down into the teens at night in some places. Clouds moved back ~ Saturday, along with warmer temps and scattered rain. Columbia River area and...

First time I heard that story was in a small little dive bar in Durango, CO many, many years ago. Always one of my favorites :-)

It could be possible, but as others have stated not an ideal situation, and not worthwhile unless you have a lot of money, free time, and like to experiment. 2 x 12v batteries interconnected with a large diode. You would need 2 separate 12v chargers, 1 for each battery. The diode keeps them...

Ahhh, to be a weatherman. Almost always wrong, yet everyone lines up for more. x3 on the nice shots!

That's good news. The longer the snow can stay up there the better

But, at the end of the day, they are an upscale, trendy, custom built mobile home. Yes, they may be somewhat more mobile than what we traditionally have come to think of mobile/manufactured homes, but you would still need some sort of utility hook up. Not much different than travel trailers...

Still trying to understand the concept and appeal. Is it a custom high end single wide? A cabin on wheels? Small enough to tow behind a private vehicle of some sort. A lot of expense and effort into the chassis to make it road worthy for moving occasionally. I would imagine the interior...

Aesthetics, what could be more pleasing than living in something like this ;)

So, what's the difference from just buying a used 5th wheel/old RV and parking it?

10K ain't heavy, I'm usually upwards of 11K. That gearing would seem pretty low, you could probable pull buildings off their foundations. I wonder how the final drive ratios through the tranny are. It may have some decent overdrives that offset that at highway speeds. Or you could use it as...

Audible.com. We listen to books on all of our trips. Very wide selection (they're part of Amazon), and of course not the cheapest source. I have found if I buy the Kindle version of a book, the Audible version is greatly reduced, ends up being noticeably cheaper overall, and you do have a...

The most important aspect of getting things level is so the eggs don't pool up on one side of the pan when you're making breakfast ;)

Looks like there has been some minor damage to a few buildings at Bodies after a string of small earthquakes in the area. http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/12/2...town-of-bodie/ http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/l...gpm-story.html (as posted on EXPO)

no joy in Mudville - just means I need to get out more and take better pictures (I think timing matters to when they get uploaded too sometimes)

It's also a great resource to scout places / areas. A search of a city/ natural area will usually return a lot of good views ( and potentially a lot of bad ones) Sent from my STV100-2 using Wander The West mobile app

Very nice. I have never had an "explore" picture - yet

The thing with the Happijac and/or Torklift mounts is that they are external to the bed. It's possible that you could attach to the camper at the jack mounts, but they may be difficult to connect to the front Happijac tabs because of alignment and distance (may be very short). Also, be aware...
