Anything inside a national park must be "very" street legal. I once rode a dirt bike into Furnace Creek back in the mid '70's to get gas. Took up two whole tickets to write up all of the infractions.

Monument Valley,AZ and Valley of the Gods is truly a sight to see. You can primitive camp anywhere along the road at VOTG's.

I think someone should try it (not me, thank you) and tell us what it really tastes like! Hmmm, wonder what else is in that there pot...

Maintenance-Get some of this and start taking care of the vinyl. http://www.303products.com/shop303/index.cfm/category/65/303-aerospace-protectant.cfm

I also have the water pump. I added a foot switch that connects to a small jack down by the floor. Using the foot switch to get small "bursts" of water tends to use less than using the toggle switch For lighting above the bed, I went with this as it was about the thinnest I could find. They can...

Thanks, that's kind of what I figured, closer is better but I supposed a few inches isn't critical if you have adequate wiring. Yes. As the wire length gets longer, there are more possibilities for failure. Wires get pinched, chaffed and nicked. A dead short on a piece of wire will turn red...

There is a tree out in the desert at Rice, CA (on the way to the river) that is adorned with "Bras". My, what different sizes they have....

Well that would certainly work. You could also make a small access opening if needed for connecting the wires. I used a metal tray with large fender washers bolted through the bed. The battery is held down with the usual J-bolts which is secure (same as under the hood mounting). Mine already...

Either Ben or Marty told me that putting a hole in that board- the "flat" one that makes up the "step" between the bench and the wall, was a no-no structurally. Glad to see yours hasn't caused any problems. Do you leave the camper mounted permanently or do you disconnect and reconnect the...

I have a full size battery mounted in the space between the camper wall and the truck bed on the right side. I had to enlarge the opening to fit the battery and make a new cover. There is adequate ventilation from the outside. I suppose you could add another on the opposite side or in the rear...

Here is a pic from the "old" days. Look familiar to anyone? Perhaps someone can post a new pic. I haven't been there for a few years, but there is quite a difference

Well on the bright side, you'll always be ready for Y2K. Remember that!

Well, since this has gotten off of the original topic, I will jump in. I got this as I have the stock front bumper. http://www.hi-lift.com/accessories/bumper-lift.html Have not had a chance to use it, fortunately. It took me a day and a half just to rotate tires in my driveway and that was...

Although this would be a bit out of your way- If you like rocks and the worlds biggest swap meet, Quartzite is booming right now. Also, if you like hot springs with camping, along I 10 west of Phoenix in Tonopah is this: http://www.el-dorado.com/

To start with, I would raise the roof if you can. Pull the cushions out. Get as many towels in there as needed to soak up any dripping water. Put SEVERAL fans in there. Plus a heater if possible. Moving a lot of air will do more to dry it and prevent mildew. Cover the whole thing with a tarp...

Merry Christmas!!

A "dumb" charger like a cheap batt charger is ok to charge up a battery, but it is not good to leave it on for more than a day or two. A "Battery Tender" type charger or a solar charge controller will bring the batt up to the proper charge and then taper off. Lead acid batts need to sulfate...

I did put in a new Fantastic Fan. WOW!!! How neat it is to turn that puppy on when lowering the top and it sucks the canvas in!!! No more 2-3 trips around the outside poking it in with a stick!!!! Does it really do that. I have been thinking about getting one of those and that would...

Could you snap a pic of the underside of the table. Just wanted to see how that is mounted. Looks like a nice project! Thanks-

Does the tailgate bounce up and down at all? Seems like this is a fairly cheap solution: http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tools/Metal-Jerry-Can-Carrier.aspx?t_c=71&t_s=188&t_pt=8401&t_pl=9603&t_pn=GAS11412

Remember folks, Barko lives near Roswell...

I have no problem with anyone watching NASCAR in the backcountry. I was just trying to point out that I am glad and grateful most RVers want to stay where there is shore power and aren't interested in going into the backcountry. Me, I usually carry books and magazines, but I do have a battery...

Hey as long as you aren't bothering another camper at 4am with a generator, more power to you. DD- As you know, inverters make no sound, I don't have a gen and we are pretty much passed out by 10:00. 4AM is about time for a P call and then it's back upstairs. Not sure which is worse, the...

It's also more likely to light when I have my camper plugged into house current or when the truck's motor is running. That right there indicates a low voltage situation (truck running puts out about 14.5 volts). Always keep in mind, you only have 12 volts to play with and then it drops off...

I carry a sat dish mounted on a 2x8x12 board, along with a 14" flat screen TV. I can run that for days with a 300w inverter. To each his own, but I watch NASCAR every Sunday. No matter where I am.
