From the California Trucking Association: The report titled “The Impact of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Cap-and-Trade Programs on California Retail Diesel Prices” demonstrates the effect that CARB’s regulatory actions will have on the state’s retail diesel future leading to a $6.69 per...

Slabs do have a hot spring to mud in and a free hot water shower. That has been nice to use on occasion. It is just beyond the outskirts of the main camping area. Also, Salvation mountain is worth a see. The Mud pots further south are interesting as it's co2 gas that comes up from the...

Have any knowledge/experience with LED floodlights for the rear? I currently use two 55w Halogen tractor type lights. Looking to upgrade. I know they are a bit pricey and don't want to "experiment". Thanks, ~DR

This belongs to a friend of mine. Located in Garden Grove, CA. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/rvs/2946873978.html ~DR

For a couple of years I have been posting campers I found while searching Craigslist. I got in the habit of searching during work breaks when we were looking for a camper. I am going to officially retire from posting in this thread. I hope that I have helped a few find a camper to fit their...

When you need a tire in BFE, you want to have a very common size...Tire woes really make for an unhappy trip. Done there, been that.

A local rental yard will have camper jacks for rent.

My friend has this for sale: http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/rvs/2946873978.html If interested, I can PM his e-mail address. ~DR

A very important tip when using a Foodsaver type machine--- Place a rolled up paper towel inside the bag, between the food and the seal strip. Otherwise, moisture gets sucked out across the seal area. This will ruin the machine and prevent a good seal. The paper towel absorbs the moisture...

Good to hear. I wonder how long it will take to actually take place?? ~DR

I would guess it looks like this: I think your best bet is to find an "old school" RV place, which seem to be disappearing. I would bet this guy has everything you may want: http://www.rvdoctorgeorge.com/ Also, I've found some old parts at this place: http://www.kochbros.net/. The lady will...

Seems to me, you were poking around Area 51 recently...

Ah, I see. I might need more than 1,200. How much extra weight would upgraded suspension allow me to have? I know a lot of you recommend 3/4 ton trucks, but part of me wants a smaller truck for the gas mileage and the ability to get in to more places. Go to a place that MAKES aftermarket...

AK is correct. Towing capacity is much different than gross vehicle weight capacity (GVWR). When towing, the only actual weight added to the truck is the weight placed on the hitch. Towing capacity is based on engine power, stopping ability and other things I don't know about. ~DR

I also like the faucet. Got a brand / model number for it? Upgrades and ideas never end.... ~DR

The hinged, fold out table is a nice touch! ~DR

I haven't tried one of these, but I plan to get one this summer. It's a Fantastic Fan in a box fan frame. http://www.amazon.com/Fan-Tastic-Vent-01100WH-Endless-Breeze/dp/B0000AY2Z6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333121703&sr=8-1 Here is a better price, just happened to see it...

There are some posts from the past that detail this. You may have to search the 4WC & ATC forums to find them, but good info is there. ~DR

This should not become a discussion of regulations. The Lounge is good for that. Thank you for the concerns. ~DR

Here is the sales info from that era (mid 1980's). You are at 1,075 dry weight. A Grandby is 835#'s ~DR

Where did you find the glide tape. Here: http://www.kochbros.net/ I also bought the alum track there. Be aware, there are different type/size tracks. If needed, I could get it and send it to you. ~DR

However in their online page, they don't list the HAP free version (HAP = Hazardous Air Pollutants). That would be a Kalifornia requirement. Hell, they even changed paint thinner to water based. Can't start a campfire with that! The non-HAP would be better and cure faster.

You folks stop it right now! I am not going anywhere near a sewing machine. Just want to be able to tell the resident, indentured servants how I want it done. It's called glide tape or curtain tape, but there must be some knack to attaching it.

I have an '86. Lots of things added over the years-steel, stainless and alum. I have never heard of galvanic corrosion problems on these campers and don't worry about it. I like GE Silicon I RTV (the stinky stuff), not the Silicone II ( as it is water based). The automotive RTV's work well...

Mark, They are known as Tek screws. They will drill thru steel and alum as the drill point is hardened. Note: These will not work in wood (there is also a self-tapping screw that has a pointy tip). There are a variety of head types-but I prefer the Phillips. Easy to use with a power drill...
