This is usually done by preparation of body, mind and soul. First you must consume a healthy sum of bacon to prepare the body for the task. Biscuits and gravy may be used to supplement this. The mind can be developed into the proper state by washing the aforementioned down with beer. Several...

Just outside of Bridgeport is a nice hot spring called Travertine. Maintained by the BLM, so it's not trashed. You can camp about 1/2 mile away. It is a nice soak after a long drive. Close to 395. Some pics...

Like trains? Do go to Kelso, if you can. It is a restored train depot. You will spend a few hours and it will be very well worth it. I used to poke thru the station back when it was abandoned. NPS went overboard on the restoration...

'nough said, just wanted to try and explain how it is in the background. Are there any other complaints about that web site. I do understand your frustration and would feel the same. Wish I got out as much as you !! ~DR

While I was satisfied with the PV panel I got from Solar Blvd, I wasn't totally satisfied with the customer service practices. When I ordered it the ad said "available/shipping Jan 15" (or something like that). Jan 15 came and went without word from Solar Blvd. I sent them an e-mail asking...

Maglight will replace a flashlight that has been damaged by corroded batteries. The batteries must be Duracell or Eveready and must be returned in the light. No cost, no question. Just got a 4 cell replaced that I almost threw out. Maglight Warranty Center 1721 E. Locust St. Ontario, CA...

I got mine. Just wish the inverter was a little bit bigger... PS: if you reverse the polarity, it will die and stay dead....

Google "truck bed mat" to get the idea of what you need.

Rubber mat. Camper is bolted through the floor (old school), but it does not move at all. ~DR

Water alone is 125 lbs. Propane is another 20 lbs. So right there is half of it. Now if you pack like Cort, Dirty Dog, or XPMarc, figure another 125 lbs in beer. ;) And six pounds of Bacon.

He should have remained at Salvation Mountain. Leonard would take care of him...

The fan is a very easy install. Also look at Comfort air. They have a reversible, variable speed control. I got one for less cost than a Fantastic.

What all did you get with it?? What truck is it going on?? ~DR

Got one, Thanks! ~DR

It is out of an '86 Grandby. Two burner stove top, made by Elixer Ind. The clip uses a single hole to attach to the stove top and hooks over the grate. I plan to visit some of the older RV places around, but their gettin' harder to find.

The burner grilles on my stove top have little clips that hold them in place. I need to find a source for these. I know I replaced them about 10-15 years ago, but don't remember where I got them. I believe it was a local rv shop. Any ideas?

Cut the clips off leaving 8"-12" of wire with the clips and put something like this on the cable and on the end of the cut-off clips: http://order.waytekwire.com/productdetail2/M50/37140/MOLDED%20CONNECTOR%20GXL%20WIRE/ Then put another mating connector on the battery. Just note that the...

Technically total protection will require a fuse at both ends of the camper charge cable. Most definitely. I always fuse both ends. I purchased the dual sense, not a bad price for what is does...

The Battery Tender uses a combination of 2 pole connectors as seen in the pic. You can make a wire set that is always attached to the battery and another set with the alligator clip leads. One side of the connector is permanently attached to the charger. Connectors can be found at various...

Oh, don't miss Quartzsite. It's at it's peak right now. Right at the edge of the Kofa's. I was there last week. Good, wide open camping.

Rancher, They look fine to me too. However, the Blue Seas unit selected is a dual sense while the BEP unit selected is a single sense. That may or may not make a difference to you. BEP does offer a dual sense in the same form factor. Say that you have solar and you want the solar to top off the...

I would like to have an isolator of some kind so that I don't accidentally (or due to a short) risk killing my truck starting battery... A VSR (see my links above), and it must be fused with the proper size wire , is the absolute, hands down - best way to go. Also, the positive connection at...

Since this topic has come up again, I have a question. I am looking to rewire my system with a VSR and 4 AWG wire. Looking at these two relays, which are about $65. http://bluesea.com/category/78/79/productline/overview/387...

Joshua Tree or Mojove NPr would be a dream at this time of year. Kelso depot is neat, located in the Mojave NP. There are the Kelso sand dunes to see, Mitchell Caverns and good remote camping. http://www.nps.gov/moja/planyourvisit/visitorcenters.htm DR

That is really neat! Off road camping just opens up a new world to explorer. Never look back. Wishing you many Happy Trails
