You'll like the fastguns, they make it real clean and easy. On my F350, I have the Happijack bed mounts at the front, but use the Torklift's in the back. The rear Happijacks attach to the bumper and considering it's as strong as aluminum foil, they don't do so well. On the Ford, the...

Really cool, sure easy to see that big plume of winds and moisture rolling right into the Oregon coast and up through the "wet" side of OR and WA :)

Currently reading (although stalled for now), The Oregon Trail, a New American Journey, by Rinker Buck. Author and his brother put together an authentic covered wagon, pulled by 3 mules and traveled the entire Oregon Trail. They followed the original path as much as possible (there really...

Looks like there's a chance that things could get down right sporty around here... "...We still have much to learn about the Saturday storm. What we know is that an incredibly deep low pressure center... with its origins traced back to Typhoon Songda in the western Pacific... will move into the...

Got #'s 14 and 17. 15 to go... Sent from my SCH-I925 using Wander The West mobile app

Well, looks like we'll have a more typical PNW storm blow through over the next few days. The NOAA weather broadcast is calling for an "Impressively stormy" period for Western WA. Might be a neat time to go over to the coast and watch the surf - 30-35' swells forecast for the off-shore, with...

As a Hallmark owner that has the under bed storage, it works great. We use it for clothing which has the added benefit of added insulation. However, that means you need to have the next days clothes out or wait for your significant other to get up. Also, not accessible unless top is up so not...

Wow! Thank you! Great breakdown and explanation of how to apply the different situations and what we're all really dealing with, no matter the system or camper brand.

They use to bus the miners up that road to Pine Creek Mine. Story is that there was always somebody at the back of the bus with their hands on the emergency exit in case it went over. I've heard they had to bail out at least once, no one was lost through. I've been looking for a copy of "the...

Yep, the beauty of a non-destructive editing program and shooting RAW is not only can you rework and update, but also do multiple styles and versions. Once you have the RAW file, the sidecar "developing information is nothing. I've deleted very few of the shots I've taken (woah nelly do I need...

I'm tending to agree with you. Absolutely love the the way my 6.7l F350 drives, the smooth effortless power, decent mileage, just an overall comfortable driving experience with the camper on (and towing the Jeep), but...always have that impending sense of doom that with all the complexity, the...

And yet how many threads are here on the wonders of the Ram Eco-Diesel or the Chevy Colorado?

I would think the vast majority were on a crop sensor. The lens is designed for crop sensor cameras (EF-S mount in Cannon speak). Unlike an actual Canon EF-S lens, it can work on a full frame (EF mount) without damage to the body (the Canon EF-S lens protrude into the body and the mirror on a...

Great lens, I really like the speed and clarity of it. I got originally for my crop body (60D) but can use it my full frame at the 16MM end. Check out the group on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/groups/638028@N25/pool/ a startrails shot I did with it at Rock Creek a couple of weeks ago Star...

yeah, you had mentioned Marrowstone (had to look it up to see where it was). Unless you have a LOT of time, I wouldn't push it all the way to the coast. That's a lot of miles to watch everything go past the window. Most of our trips have been that way and it's frustrating to not be able to...

Foy needs to set up a trip planning service, I try and refer back to all of the incredible detailed information he shares about various areas, particularly Montana, Wyoming, etc. Hoyden, if you do make to the left coast and try for Marrowstone, go around the Olympic Peninsula and explore the...

The problem with asking me that is that I loath trying to do anything on a laptop other than using one to get by while I travel. I am very much desktop with multi-monitor based so I'm a fish out of water when I use a laptop. Because I live off of my desktops, I think of laptops as not quite...

While that looks like a fast laptap, there's a lot of extra expense for the gaming GPU that you'll never use. For Lightroom and Photoshop a fast processor, as much RAM as you can get, and an SSD drive are the best money spent. Gaming laptops/PCs are typically built around the GPU for refresh...

x2 on the ALPS. We have the Guide Table and is has worked great for us for a few years. Adjustable height but we've never changed it. http://www.alpsmountaineering.com/products/furniture/tables/guide-table

Be aware that there is a small parasitic draw from the USB chargers. I changed out a couple of 12v sockets to the dual USB charging sockets. These have a constant 15ma draw. Interestingly enough, they have a new Fast Charge unit that only has 1ma draw. Must have a smart circuit to disconnect...

We were heading home on Saturday and stopped off at the Klamath Falls Walmart to get some distilled water for my radiator (to keep it topped off). All the water was sold out, all the ice was sold out. Didn't know (or care) that Burning Man was this week. Didn't think of Klamath Falls as being...

We just did a trip with our F350 6.7l diesel. Had the 8' Hallmark K2 fully loaded, along with extra gear that we brought to support a wedding party. We were also towing our 2 door Jeep. The dashboard screen measured it at ~12.5 overall. I also have a Nav unit that I can input the gallons...

From our recent trip through Lassen VNP - Really enjoyed the very loose gravel/ash on the very steep trail up Cinder Cone :blink: Definitely makes your boots earn their keep.

Here's a thread on a lower temp thermostat, sometimes called a garage thermostat. Will go down to ~ 32 to just keep things above freezing http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/9895-another-thermostat-thread/ I put the same one in and am happy with it. Really cuts down on the heater...

Just this past weekend it barely broke 70 up here in the Seattle area. Lots different than the rest of the country, and so much better than the past couple of summers with the wildfires not nearly as intense (at least so far in the PNW). Lower 90s here now, not acclimated to this unbearable...
