THX for the tip. I'd not thought of using this type of tech inside an rv fridge... Last trip to a local marine shop here on the oregon coast i noted a product called H2Out... there website is here: http://h2out.com/products/space-dryers I found them also on amazon so i ordered an appropriately...

Greetings, Yuppers on the "Three months of ..." Here on the Oregon Coast we've had a wonderful July/Aug/Sept summer. The rain just hit us today, and actually is a refreshing change. Ask me how things are in a few months after 70mph winds with gusts to 110mph!! Cheers, Thom

THX for that video link. I sent it off to Rob @ Van Specialties to see what he thought he could do about adding that rear slide out box under the bed platform they put in for us. That box would be a big help in organizing under that cavernous space! Cheers, Thom

THX for the link share. Sweet ride, i'd put a roof-top-tent up there and hit the forestry roads. Thom

we did the homebuild route and used it for ?three seasons? then my MacGirlver of a wife came up with a battery operated version from home depot by flo-master. She also purchased (yes she is obsessed with having a nice shower while on the trail) one that folds down in a pouch that is foot...

THX Mike. on the Froli and XPC..i was happy to see it included in the design. And yes on the airflow factor. Sure helps in the wet environ of the PNW.

Nothing to be "sorry" about, it's all fun in the WTW family. Thom

i saw this one many years ago. i do agree with your "mini coopers" comment. What a blast that would be!

;) ah heck, just put on another axle and throw a camper shell on the back and hit the trails Thom

We had a great five-day-mini-adventure (our preferred Monday through Friday). Here is one shot taken coming up from one of the hammocks i set up down near the creek... and one from the road... the creek is right beyond that dense folage and trees. . . And this was my view from the...

Greetings, The "Incremental conversion" is along the lines of what my wife and i did with our van conversion. I have a build thread over at the sportsmobile forums if you are interested in how we pulled it off. (link to build thread). Ours is based on a soon-to-be history chevy AWD 1500 cargo...

It is fun to see the continued creativity coming out of your shop Marc!

I can report that in our rig i've installed a Xantrex meter... it also draws about 0.1 ah. And when turning on LEDs i see that with one on the meter reads 0.2...and with 6 LEDs turned on it reads 1.0 so there is some "rounding" of the Xantrex also. Here is a before and after shot. We really like...

One way i've incorporated into our set up for getting clean water into our tanks is utilizing our camp-lantern stand with a katadyn Base camp gravity-bag filter as seen in this picture: Here are the parts i used:

Like some other we take two sport kites, camera(s), video-go-cam, metal detector, and assorted board games. Plus all my wife's gold prospecting gear :) We also take a galaxy 10" tablet to watch a movie or two over the course of a typical 5 day adventure. And the most "toyish" thing we take...

THX for the link. That combo looks like a no-brainer add-on to our adventure cooking set up. :) Thom

Good comments and suggests, i enjoyed the read. For any who may wish to dabble in a nice photo/graphic program that is well respected and free/open-source, you might download GIMP... available at _this link_. I got turned onto GIMP some years ago when i was doodling in what are called...

yuppers, a nice read. Cari & I also throw in the mix _timing_. We are fortunate (for our style) in that we are able to take off Monday > Friday once a month. And the other three weeks we have our preferred Wed/Thurs weekend. This allows us to not only go to those places that few venture even on...

Cari & I have about ~4 to 6 months worth of FD food-meals in our various rigs (if you recall we live full time in RVs). Anywhoo... i'm not concerned about the _End of the World_ happening, but the food is easy to prepare, tasty, and easy to store. We rotate through what we have and resupply...

Greetings, Sure... : ) Here is a basic shot from the passenger side looking back to the sleep platform with clothes closet on the street side wall. Then there is the bath-closet forward the bed. The froli sleep system gets placed on the platform and two 3" gel toppers on top of that. 48x16oz...

It's been a while since i posted any update on our AWD van and thought some would enjoy the look/see. Here is a recent shot of our rig: This year's mods included a ~2.5" lift kit from Boulder Off Road Vans, Rhino Liner applied to bumpers/rockers/wheel-wells, Truck-Lite 5"x7" LED Headlights...

Greetings, Here is another source for LED bulbs (LINK to my mod post). This one should fit in nearly any fixture as it has an adapter for both common receptacles: Picture of package...

Greetings Steelhead, I have a similar setup in our rig in that we have 2 Optima AGM batteries and i have calculated/observed about a 10% drain on my system per month. This is a bit more than the Optima site states but i must also account for the ~.06ah draw from the built in Xantrex monitor. I'm...

Was wondering if any here have had experience utilizing any of the bed-liner type materials as running-board protection? I am pondering having something applied on our van. THX in advance for any reply. Thom

you might want to do some research on the foxwing's temperament in wind. I was considering utilizing one on our rig and after some due diligence decided to look elsewhere. It is a beautiful design, though with its tendency to act like an unbrella in a breeze is not something i want to deal...
