Greetings, my wife and i've had our strongback chairs (elite) in use for ~6 or so outings this season since ordering this spring. They are very comfortable on the back, a bit rough on the bottom for long term sitting (but then what are you doing sitting down when you could be enjoying the...

Looks like a nice platform setup. I wanted to share what my wife and i did for our TACO (now sold) as far as a camp setup. We used something called a Sportz Tent (link to their website) Here is an image of our TACO with the tent (we slept on a platform similar to yours under the canopy) ...

I did a similar thing but used a ~3 gallon jug and a clothes washer hose. and the parts are easily found at home depot or similar (brass fitting screwed directly into top of stock white lid) : Cheers, Thom

we have two of the engel deep blue 80qt coolers. and they each have the "Bear Certified" sticker to appease the park rangers in the areas we frequent that insist on the certification.

THX for the kudos and drop by ETA... "Stormtroopers"... Ha! Emphasis on "Storm" last trip with all the rain we survived. Finally got around to cleaning off the mud and yuk from the rigs today.

Greetings all : ) On Salmon...would make a nice meal! The F&W crew was pretty excited about the large numbers at the dam so far. On Suction Cups... Found them at amazon.com... "FastCap HOD-DOUBLE Handle On Demand" i think i paid about $10 each. They hold fantastic on the fiberglass (trailer ~4...

:) On fishing... I do see peeps fishing. Some Fly and others with typical bobber/bait setup. I know right now the F&W crew has snorkel counts going on the sockeye(?) salmon just upstream of the Green Peter Dam...there must be fish to catch upstream at some point! On finding gold...Yuppers my...

Greetings, This is a trip report for Cari's and my 2013-06 Quartzville/Quartzcreek Oregon adventure... We departed our primary-home-on-wheels after working early shifts on Sunday June 23rd...on the road heading south on highway 101 at 12:30pm. We would take the HWY 26 junction in Seaside...

Verizon user here. In the Pacific Northwest area we live and camp in the reception is much better than my AT&T using friends see. That said, once we go off the asphalt we are still pretty much out of luck. We prospect outside Battle Ground WA and also Sweet Home OR... once away from those towns...

Fun read of the blog. Well done !

After trying out a couple of the demo's linked in this thread and doing some more reading i went ahead and shelled out the $9 for CoPilot Live Premium for our galaxy 10 tablet. We have a nice handheld garmin we take when hiking and i was looking for something that was not tied to the verizon...

There are a handful of ways to connect 2 x 12 v AGM batteries up for a 12 volt system... I rewired mine to a more robust setup as seen in these shots: Stock wiring (sorry didn't take a photo of rig before my mod): My Mods: note how the two positive leads go into this fancy little junction...

i know this thread is dated... BUT i'm grateful for the link to the strongback chair website... we have our two ZEN models in the closet of our Parkliner trailer. We LUV'em!

Cari and i had an A-Liner for a couple seasons. The "Cross Wind" issue mentioned by the truck camper a-liner owner was a bit understated. When the wind blows it is dangerous and crazy trying to get the a frame up or down. And thus why we sold ours. . . buyer beware. . . but cool idea.

I came across this yesterday while doing some online reading. It looks like a sound concept & design. It is a very simple urine-diverting composting toilet...and at about 1/2 the cost of competition in it's class, way ahead IMO. It should be vented to the outside (comes with a flex hose), but...

thanks for the additional info Craig and Ted. It looks like i will put the TF65 in my wish list bookmarks. Once the solar is worked into the project the fridge will be next : ) Thom my future home of the TF65...according the the manual, it should slip right in the galley of our Parkliner!

Thanks Stew, it's been a fun project. And similar to many here...once you get one little tweak tweaked you are looking for the next one : ) Thom

My wife and i have been using the Saratoga Jacks non-electric thermal cooker for two seasons at home and on the trail. We love it! She has the various inner pots so she can even bake bread/muffins/brownies etc : ) great for camping meal desert surprises! Bring whatever dish up to a boil for a...

Here is what I am going to be using. Link My wife and i are using basically the same setup...but with a 2 gallon frosting bucket from a local bakery rather than the 3.5 gallon mentioned. My wife chose the 2 gal since it was even closer to the ground and more compact (the luggable loo seat...

Mines the truckfridge. I just did some measuring in our Parkliner and it looks like the TruckFridge TF65 would be an exact replacement size-wise with the standard built in ice-cooler. I was wondering if your TF was the 65 or other? The use (1/4 run time) seems normal for these types of units...

Greetings adventurers! It has been a while since i've posted here, though i've been reading and enjoying following trip reports and builds/projects. I wanted to share a quick update on the state of our adventure rig. The image above is of our 2010 Chevy 1500 AWD van conversion mentioned in...

if i'd had my way in another life i would have chosen a place like this to live. amazing!

Ah, update on utilizing the HeatMate in the van for a quick heat-up on chilly mornings... we woke to ~36 temp one morning in Sumpter last week and i fired up the HM i had staged the night before between the two front seats. I then put the kettle on, and by the time the water had boiled...

Hi Derek, the FROLI system is AMAZING! The first morning waking up on our high end sealy pillow top mattress in the house after spending a week on the road with the van/froli my wife asked me when i was going to order a kit to replace our sealy! . . the Froli is that good! So this October i'm...
