How much condensation are you guys getting? I mostly see winter (cold/freezing) condensation that can be wiped off with a tea towel? Am I missing something? I only see condensation or icicles on the ceiling or ceiling aluminum cross bars. Are you using sleeping bags? Are you keeping the heater...

Winterized the system at home. Take bottle water with you. Nothing to worry about then. Bottled water will freeze too. Bring rum.

In the winter I had issues with ice cycles forming overnight on the perimeter and on the aluminum cross bars of the ceiling from the condensation before I bought an arctic pack. Arctic pack or Reflectix should help with that. I am not sure about the under mat condensation. The kids sleep up...

I've camped in cold winter weather and I have never had the interior plumbing freeze. I do keep the heater at the lowest setting (50?) at night. I have had problems with the exterior drain freezing and backing up my sink. I partially solved that by putting some foam wrap around the top of the...

Dog, I think you mean first and second gen tundra with the 17 and 21 inch deep beds. I've attached a pic of my Ranger in a Tundra with a platform under it. It that what you are looking for? I think a hawk is wider? This camper is only about 70 inches wide. ..snip.. I would be interested in...

Hello ... 2002 Tacoma (6' bed). I came across a FWC Ranger that would fit in the bed of my truck, but stick out past the end of my tailgate 4'' (with tailgate down). I'm already set up with beefier suspension. OME coil overs, rear shocks and full Dakar Leaf pack. No airbags currently. I have...

Hi, I live in Walnut Creek, about 30 miles east of San Francisco. I want to buy your old 12 foot (light weight) boat/marine trailer. I only need to tow a 12 foot boat that weights 135 lbs total, or a 600 lbs total trailer. I do not need your 2 axle 20K lbs boat hauler. I am willing to travel...

Nice rig! Nice pictures! Do you have any exterior pics too? Excellent work! Roger

Looks good to me. Who is going to inspect your roof for paint coverage uniformity anyway? I have to climb up a ladder or come down a steep slope and get out to see my roof.:lol: Roger

Road to Tucki Mine

Stew, I guess a couple of area could have been dry falls, but there were definally not any 90 degree ones. I think, at most, there was maybe a a couple of 30 to 45 degree falls in a narrow part of the trail and right when you get off the paved road was the deepest dip/wash. I guess I was...

Nice story. Cool layout. Very Euro/retro.

So you have probably seen my 1000 questions regarding this trip in the planning portion of the forum. I have to admit I had some (ALOT) of apprehension regarding this trip. The plan was for a night in Big Pine, a night in Death Valley and back to Big Pine for two nights. Death Valley was the...

I completed on July 6 and it was pretty awesome! It was a slow in, took about 45 minutes to go the 9 miles. Lots of brush but nothing too technical. I still don't know what a "dry fall" is even after doing the trail! Thanks, Roger Roger, I've never done the Tucki Mine trail but I Googled...

... I am baffled by "several 3 to 4 foot dry falls." I am guessing these are dry water falls? I am thinking 45 to 60 degree climbs going into the canyon? Can anyone enlighten me here? http://www.nps.gov/d...try%20Roads.pdf 88 views and everyone is as baffled as I am? Guess I'll have to make...

Ok, deposit has been sent today. I need advice from anyone who has ordered a camper. What did you do to pass the time waiting for it. It's not due in till September and I'm going nuts thinking about it. Please help. Plan your trips for the next year and then the next after that!:D Roger

Mr. White, I have a similar 5.7 4x4 LB DC tundra with a Ranger FWC. In my first outing from the SF bay area to Red Bluff, with a nice gusty headwind of 15 to 25 MPH (for about 225miles at about 75MPH) I was at about 12.9 MPG. As I left the central valley and climbed east into Lassen Volcanic...

I am planning on visiting Tuckie Mine in Death Valley pretty soon. I have a 4WD high clearance truck, but I am baffled by "several 3 to 4 foot dry falls." I am guessing these are dry water falls? I am thinking 45 to 60 degree climbs going into the canyon? Can anyone enlighten me here...

Craig, We did not skip the subway cave! That was our first cave to make sure the kids would be OK in the dark. They still do an amphitheater show. They really involve the kids a lot, the ranger was a "old snag" and kids are selected to be bats, bacteria, fungus, etc of the "old snag." Roger...

Smoke, We just got back on the 21st so I missed your message. The kids decided they liked the caves better than the hikes to Boiling lake and hiking up the Cinder cone so you just gave me a bunch of great ideas for next year. I am thinking one night in Lassen and then up to the Caves for a day...
