Here are some tips to upgrade the MV50. The head seal and valves tend to leak. The fittings are an odd metric size. However, if you are very careful you can run a 1/4NPT tap into the head and use a regular hose fitting. I did it...

Nice to see a business growing in this state... Good luck!! ~DR

Any issue with access to your spare tire with the tailgate down?

For 120V needs, just get a small 400w inverter. I have this model: http://www.amazon.com/Whistler-Pro-400W-Watt-Power-Inverter/dp/B003R7GQT2. It will power my DirectTV Receiver and a 22" LCD TV plus charge phones at the same time. Low power draw. Has a USB port. Small, compact and easy to...

Ah, Punta Final. There is a little island across a sand spit we used to camp on. You could only cross it at low tide. Did many trips in the '80's. You can catch Trigger fish all day long and have good tacos. Have no idea what it is like now, but know it has changed.

You will need to give them your old plates so take some tools.

A really big tip here for those who live in CA. If you have an attached camper on your truck, go to the AAA or the DMV, soon. You are paying for a "commercial vehicle" license fee. If you have 1 letter in your plate number, you are a commercial truck, paying weight fees. Having a camper...

And never mind with the 2" too short jokes.[/size][/font][/color] According to my wife the 2" ,oh never mind. ~DR

I have a list of upgrades for the MV50. ~DR I have more pics, also.

If it has been raining lately. Pop the top and dry out the canvas. Your camper will love you! ~DR

That is not bad. I would have no problem with that little slope, not at all. Mine is at least that and off camber. Just chock the wheels and it s/b ok. Have some friends over the first time for comfort/help. You will be OK. Where you at, maybe some bored members here will jump in...for beer of...

I'd offer my mother in law's driveway, but you're a contributor to WTW, so thus should be spared that exposure. Good Luck and look out for my Mother in Law... Perhaps I should take a different route... Thanks!

If the sink was lower, I may... Never mind...

Looking to go to Henderson / Boulder city, NV this weekend for a re-con mission. Any idea of a campground or preferably remote camping around there?? ~DR

I just use the Thetford potty on the floor. Not the best arrangement, but for the midnight & (1:00, 3:00 5:00) P calls, it works for us. Must be the age thing, well...enough said. When you gotta go, well you just do it! We don't have to go outside and that works for us. ~DR Also,...I do...

You got it. Send a PM to me with your mailing address. ~DR

I have the Service manual for a DRZ400S on a CD. Free to you if wanted. ~DR

I have this doll... ~DR . . . sorry!

Dang, I met him at the Vets day deal back in the '90s at Chirico Summit - Patton's Museum. He stayed around with us for a few hours. He was not doing a filming, just hang'in out. I gave him some petrified wood from AZ, as we were on our way back. A regular guy who helped make the Dez what...

Be aware that there are many different sizes over the years. Pay attention to that so no one gets disappointed. A new one from 4WC with the screen door is $400 shipped. Just tryin' to inform.... ~DR

:The local FM station stays on during power outs so I'll still be able to listen to the 49er-Seahawk game! Ho, Ho Ho Smoke With Directv, a 400w inverter and a car battery...you can watch TV anytime/anywhere without power. I can go 2-3 days without recharging. ~DR

I was lucky, my used '86 Grandby (bought in '05) came with the furnace. What a joy! 5 minutes in front of that thing brings your life awake in the morning. Especially, when you are sitting on the "Mr. Thetford Porty Potty" - helps blow that oder away too. That is all, but it sure does work...

I have heard that the clear vinyl windows may crack if folded/moved in severe cold. Be careful in you raise or lower the top!! Warm up the inside first. ~DR

Mine is the '97 OBS. The '99 was the start of the Superduty with the taller cab. Look up Barko and send a message, he has a Grandby on a '99 F250. I can e-mail him if you can't find him. ~DR FYI- There never was a '98 model. They produced an early '99 that was the Superduty body, but had...

This is a good start: http://www.fourwheelcampers.com/index.php/shopping-tools/fit-guide/ The Superduty has a higher cab. You will need to build a "spacer" to raise the camper. I don't believe there are any other issues. Look up Barko1 and check with him, He did it well and knows what is...
