Repurposed the sink as under-mount. Turned sink sideways to allow deeper drawer past trap and moved faucet to corner. Plastic cutting board fits on hole. put raised edge / backsplash to contain water.

So a gallon of Propane has 91,452 BTUs / hr. Our Atwood furnace uses 16,000 BTU / hr input. The normal 20# tank holds about 4.2gal. 91452 x 4.2 ÷ 16,000 (use your number here) = 24 hours of running time heater only. Your mileage may vary! We also use ours for cooking and hot water. With no...

I was glad to seal and re-drill holes as the original holes egged out (slightly rotted) and screws rusty. It occurs to me that the threads are only used for initial adjustment. With proper adjustment it would be ok to remove and paint the threads! breaking the paint only at the necessary...

Great idea! probably helps with wet traction too. Suggestion for adhesive to apply to diamond plate?

Ouch! I hate to hear of injuries esp. when having "fun". I get it about ladders but decided against early on. I want to duck out of the pop-up TC to a fixed (to the truck+camper) set up, then compensate or any ground variance once out and up. We have a shelf outside (to allow empty hands)...

we use the hitch receiver for the cooler rack and it has another receiver for the steps that adjust horizontally.

Now there is a map! Thanks Old Crow, I'll fool with that for awhile. FCC Mobile LTE Coverage Map The PC mag article lead me to a Vermont Driving map with interesting data on all major carriers too...I wonder what software was used for that volunteer feedback / development. FYI T-Mobil (also...

Anybody have a signal tracking app for all carriers?..I would love to compare in the wild! I am very interested in this topic and the science / facts around (the art) cellular communications. "the art" because as mentioned above, varying factors contribute to signal strength. Doubt that...

I only have experience by looking at my 97 Shadow Cruiser sill functioning well and used often. The Lid is box banded with 1x4. the corners have what appears to be 3 brackets, inside. 1st is thin steel like that found in hardware store for general inside corner reinforcement. 2nd is a heavy...

that is scary. and why I will have the propane alarm in the same space as the stove Good Idea!...LP detector has to be somewhere!

Fully rigged for a time of need, right there. Just found this one and I may not need a back-up!!! and save weight too. https://www.amazon.com/17lb-Capacity-Lightweight-Composite-Propane/dp/B014V9H6R0/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=fiberglass+propane+tank&qid=1640371902&sr=8-1

Got Propane...Don't need Jacks! Can you tell us about the tank size and bracket? Good lookin' rig

I just spoke to my Propane supplier who said for a non-connected tank, the only regulation they have for transport is that it be secured and vertical (valve not flooded with liquid). Being connected (valve open) may be the difference with location of tank.

And if not... Rythmic gentle breathing, pause, snorting, frightening Inhale!!

Good Topic! I have been looking all over for: 1. reliable gauge for the onboard tank - use and AM frost is best on trail. Scale (weight) is the only other reliable way that I have found. 2. Place to "scuttle" another common 20# tank. We have run out several times in the cold of the night with...

My father's words of wisdom: "'Never put off until tomorrow...' is advise I seldom give heed to; For if I wait long enough in accomplishing stuff, half the time, I find I don't need to'!

We call K9 pre-wash "French Dry Cleaning" We will use acrylic countertop material Megonite brand like Corian brand to replace the swelling MDF and laminate. There is special treatment for heat sources like drop in cook top. Directions online. Local shops may seem off-cuts if you only need a...

Having used most of the above applications and insisting on free boondocking our first "goto" is IOverlander. It is a free app and relies on community input. It is easily sortable and to some extent continues working when cell signal doesn't. Easily copies gps coordinates of selected items to...

Our '97 Shadow Cruiser uses outside corner trim as coping. The canvas laps over the siding, then the outside corner is placed with screw track to siding face and non screw face up so the lid will contact it. Screws installed through siding and covered with the vinyl strip. I believe there is...

Good points, Rando. I appreciate various viewpoints and ideas, glad to have explored this one here.

Our TC has a small black tank...When it has to go... IT HAS to GO! Then we find internet connection, search various apps, locate a dump station and drive to it = Stress. Then we often pay $10-$15 (more stress) the same as 40 gallon gooseneck trailers to loose 7-8 gallons through a 3" hose...

We are thinking about adding this system (and using responsibly) to save stress and dump fees. Your thoughts?

After more ponder...A new location does not seem to be in the cards :( . I came across an extra 12v computer fan. Has anybody rigged a fan to blow across the thermostat for a more accurate sample of air temperature???

We did 60 miles of trail south of Arco and found along the way BLM "Cox Airstrip" and Bear Trap Cave. Our story published in https://wandrlymagazine.com/ Hope its OK to cross reference websites?

This is a good campsite can we stay here? Lets just see what is around that next curve! Again?
