As we are in the wet weather season now, remember this! When you get a few days of nice weather, "Pop The Top" and dry out the vinyl and the insides. Your camper will love you for it and it WILL add some years of life. Mine is an '86 and the the siding is is great shape. Dampness, dirt and...

I think you will find that around the spring time: Apr-May, folks will clear out their garages and want to upgrade or just get rid of stuff. Also, it's tax refund time, so there is cash to spend. Figure out exactly what you want and just keep looking. Pay attention to what will fit your truck...

No way. Read up and focus on "watts", what your need is and what your gen can provide. Be prepared, the numbers will be way different. You will need a lot more than you think. A/C needs 2k watts minimum. ~DR

No way. A/C will need 15-2K watts Read up and focus on "watts", what your need is and what your gen can provide. Be prepared, the numbers will be way different. You will need a lot more than you think. Wish I could make it better! ~DR

I used have a 1/2T Dodge Power Wagon with a Grandby for years. It was not comfortable to drive. Brakes were way inadequate. Now run a F250HD diesel, a real pleasure to motor around in. ~DR

Ski with 3 pins in his leg, gets it! Better luck next time, Mark. ~DR

I have the door lock/latch assy from a mid 2005 (I believe) FWC. I got it from "Chainslap" here. It also includes the deadbolt and keys for both. These items are available for the cost of shipping only to any member here in good standing. All others need not inquire. This would make an...

I recently bought a Carb Crap can and took it right back. My answer to these issues?? I have already purchased a house in AZ. Slowly starting the move process. I have already cast my last vote here. ~DR

I have learned to use a small cheap solar light. This works well! Prop the hood open a few inches and set the light between the hood and the fender. It lights up the engine compartment and keeps the varmits away all night long. They do not like the light. Works great with mice/rats. Now, I...

" Don't I get a medal or something?" Yes you do if you answer the following question correctly. 3 guy's go on a camping trip in their pop-up campers. After a mighty fine night of good conversation and refreshments around the campfire, everyone retires to bed. You awake in the morning with no...

You can buy paper filters for the old fashioned percolators. They work very well, but are not cheap $. http://www.amazon.com/Melitta-Coffee-Filters-Percolators-40-Count/dp/B000GHI7FM ~DR

Check with Robert's Motors in Carson City. I got my truck from him for $9K, 3 years ago w/113K miles. Runs awesome. See my sig. He gets them at the auction in Reno. Clean farm trucks, no rust, low miles. There are some BAD years of Diesels models (engines/trans). Be diligent!!! PM for more...

http://www.desertusa.com/mag99/oct/stories/ghostmt.html?utm_source=Oct-2012+%233&utm_campaign=Oct+19+Newsletter&utm_medium=email I've been up there and have read all Marshall South's writings in the old Desert Magazine. I sure wanted to be there this time, sorry I missed it. ~DR

I've certainly gone to bed looking that way! ~DR

Don't know much. JC Whitney has some that looked good for a good $$. http://www.jcwhitney.com/shade-maker-rope-and-pole-awning-universal-awning/p2002617.jcwx?filterid=c15099u0j8 Not my pic, but I saved it for future reference- ~DR

Exactly what Im looking for...Unfortuanatly they are 3x the cash :wacko: DR, your sig image looks like a 95-97 F250. is it 4WD? And if not, do you find you wish you had 4WD? Thx. It is a '97 F250HD 7.3 XLT, super cab, long bed, fully loaded 4x4. In 9/09 I traveled 500 miles to a used car guy...

Find an F250 7.3L Powerstroke diesel in the same condition and you will be, the "happy camper". ~DR

Can't really offer much. If it passes smog, the top end of the engine is good. Your best consideration is how well it was maintained. It may be good for 5 years or so. Trans s/b ok, the transfer case chain may be due for R&R if it's a full time 4wd. Super clean sounds like it was taken care of...

If it is in the wheel well, no need for AGM. Just get a lead acid. You won't blow up. Hydrogen dissipates faster than a fart. ~DR

http://www.baconbarter.com/ The best deal yet! Get ya some.

Once a year Barcroft Station has an open house. Worth putting on your calendar. If nothing else then you can drive all of the way to the station. When we were there they had an experiment in process studying the effects of high altitude on the fertility of sheep. Say it's not true...

You have the rig all set-up! Perfect. I see you keep the tailgate on, so do I. How do you like that? It does make for a nice little bench/table. Getting in and out is a little more challenging, but I'm OK with it. Happy Trails to you! ~DR

I used the Butyl tape, that gummy, sticky tape about 3/4"x1/8" thick. Never has leaked and covered/sealed the old screw holes. A nice feature is that you can run the fan with the vent closed at the lowest speed. Works like a ceiling fan at home. Hope those who got the deal are happy. Hell, I...

I have two and they work quite well. I paid around $130 (on sale) on two separate occasions, so this is really a good price. They are nice, easy to install and look good. The screen is easy to remove to get the leaves and bugs out. Also, those CW internet sales only last for a day or two...

I have 2 of these fans. Variable speed control and reversible air flow. Similar to the F/Fan. On sale at C/W, won't last long! http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/shurflo-comfort-air-fans-gold-series/31463
