Just noticed a site near (within commute range) of me. What is your opinion of the Pinnacles National Monument? http://www.nps.gov/pinn/planyourvisit/feesandreservations.htm http://www.recreation.gov/campsiteFilterAction.do?sitefilter=ALL&startIdx=0&contractCode=NRSO Sites are expensive...

Looks nice! Have Fun! I was told I was mad to put a ranger on a T100... :D I have noticed more fun than madness... Again, enjoy! Roger

CDW, Sorry for the late reply, I've been camping. The fridge came from FWC with the perforated metal wind shield and I added and then edited the white plastic cardboard. The two red LEDs are the on off switches for each fan and the white thing is a two way level. I may start using switches...

Where did you install the second fan and is it the same as the one discribed in your 1st post? Thanks, CWD I installed a 120 MM case fan as the secondary. I think it was $7 at Fry's electronics, a way better deal than Radio Shack. Specs .33 AMp 57 CFM 140 Grams You can see part of my...

DR, I rolled up some reflectex and zip tied it in a roll to create dead are space in my unit. I had about 1 inch on the (facing the fridge from the outside) right and about 2 inches on the left. I didn't even bother with the top as it was less then a half inch. The two fans and the exhaust...

Just wanted to report back my findings over the past two days. Yesterday I set the fridge to Med on the lpg setting and the fridge was about 48 degrees. The outside temp was about 86 degrees. Usually with the gas on high it would cool to about 50 degrees. Today it is 90 degrees. The lpg...

I only have a pic of the exhaust heat shield/isolator. It is ugly and probably needs improvement, but it seems to do the job. It is also 100% reversable. I moved the fan next to it on the vent cover. Rodger, How about some pics! Thanks~ DR

Well instead of waiting for inspiration I decided to be inspired. We are not the only ones having problems with these 3 ways it seems.... http://www.lets-getaway.com/caravanfridges.htm http://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f56/improving-fridge-venting-34320.html Thinking about the problem I...

Do you have any pictures for "inspiration"? Thanks Roger ...I rebuilt the compartment in our Eagle per specs and had much better performance from it. ...

Very interesting. I tried out the fan today in about 88 degree weather in direct sun. It did help the the fridge cool down to about 48, rather than 50 plus. I mounted the fan on the opposite side of the exhaust and could feel the heat being blown out by the exhaust stack. When I turned off...

So I was having some issues keeping my Domestic 3 way from freezing hard at night to barely keeping up if it got over 85. Solving the freezing problem was easy, just turn it to Medium or Low at night. After looking around here and other corners of the internet I found a solution to the...

Just looking out for you: http://www.coastdistribution.com/Products.aspx Roger Interesting. My 2007 ATC has a "Coast Power" unit from "Coast Distributors" and "CP No: 11527". I can't even find it with Google.

Heck of a gauge there. But not too pricey if you want a number of gauges anyway. I have a fuel pressure gauge for my sometimes finicky 6.5 TD and with the electronic sender, I am already $150 in. If I had known about this Insight monitor, I would have gotten it instead. I use an "ultra guage"...

Hi, Since I my last trip to Death Valley I came back with a (hot transmission only) ATF leak from the transmission on my 1997 2.7 2WD Toyota T100, in the middle-upper bell housing. Of course I took it to my hyper-vigilant local mechanic: Transmission re-seal. Well, yeah, I am not going to...

Glad you got in there, Rodger. Got any more photos? Sure! Death Valley 2011 Pics

Rodger, you gave up on camping in DV at Thorndike or Mahogany Flat, eh? We were up at the Charcoal Kilns and it was very tempting to just head up a bit more and camp, but we had our base camp in Lonepine and it was our last day. :( Next time would be a go! Taking Wildrose was pretty cool...

Just an update... The 4WC is read to go, the fridge is full and cooled off, the LPG tanks are topped off, Water is about at 1/4 tank, bait and tackle are in effect, all other supplies are accounted for and packed... 2 nights in Big Pine and 2 Nights in Lone Pine with a nice a side trip to Bodie...

Hi, Arctic Pack I've done a couple of winter trips with my kids (4 and 6 years old) with no arctic pack. We did have the new heater (12K BTU or 16K BTW?) and cache of 0 degree sleeping bags from REI. We set the thermostat to 50 at night, and a way bit higher in the morning. No one froze...

I have found that the off season is the best, best to get there before noon so you can get a space as it is first come first served; just the first two loops of upper pines are open off season. You need a lot of LPG for your heater and chains for possible snow from about November to March; if...

Thanks for the heads up. I just changed my plans, I found a place for July 1 and 2 in Upper Sage Flat and kept the two night in Lone Pine. We might make a day trip to DV from Lone Pine, but I won't attempt to stay there overnight. We are heading up from the bay area through Yosemite (we have...

Good Evening, I've decided to take a trip with my seven year old son to Death Valley about July 1-5, 2011. I've booked Lone Pine July 1, expect an overnight in D.V. July 2 and 2 days again in Lone Pine July 3 and 4. Just a couple of questions? How hard is it to get a spot at Mahogany Flat or...

[\quote] Home again Monday to wash the truck and camper. Sightings included a couple in the valley that just ordered a Grandby, two FWC's driving by Wawona Monday AM, one into the park, one out, and a FWC on HWY 99 heading south. I might be able to account for two of the FWC's you saw. An...

Hi, I am planning for another outing. I usually start about 10 days out by loading the camper the truck and getting "stuff" moved in and preparing for the trip. I've had the Ranger in "disconnected" status for about a month and I noticed no battery drain. I plugged the Ranger into shore power...

Great looking rig Roger!! Looks just like mine! Perfect fit... Nice T100! Roger

Roger, Great picture! Were you able to get the roof down with all that snow up there??? Or did you have to remove the snow first? The first time I lowered it without removing the snow and it was *really heavy*. The second time I used a snow shovel to remove some of the snow from the sides...
