I too have Yakima tracks, however, I have never used them. I would be curious what percentage of those installed actually get used?

These security system stickers work well.....

I use a very small USB fan that I purchased at Campers World to break up the thermal layering. I converted one of the power point (cig lighters) to a duplex USB outlet purchased from West Marine that it plugs into. I also installed another one on the opposite side near the bed. These are also...

I have an F-250 and did the same thing. I was able to split off the jump seat and leave it installed. For an occasional third passenger. You won't regret the storage. That's the only way to go.

I just wanted to say that I find solar to be very useful. I have 100w, w/ two AGM, and when the batts do get to the end of their lifespan I will delete one from the system. The storage just isn't needed with all LED and 3way absorption refer. Case in point,.. I left my camper on jacks in a...

I left it on gas and went fishing......

Just a short note to defend gas. First two and three way units are used throughout the industry. I am eating frozen salmon from mine now in CA that was caught in BC three months ago. I use gas when not on AC and never use DC. Having traveled thousands of miles at highway speeds on gas is not...

Just a little tip that works good for me.... Install the sides first, no brainier there...Then I fold back the material at the ends and use a dinner plate to tuck it in behind the ends.

Giving the top a pop up with heavy snow loads is a problem. The snow needs to be removed first, especially if wet snow. Once up no issue holding new snow and it will come down VERY FAST. I have been thinking of adding insulation under the cab-over to keep cold from radiating and also mitigate...

Kilroy, thanks for the link. That's pretty amazing. I don't know much about bison but understand they can bust up a car if they decide to.

I have spent quite a lot of time in BC and AK Grizzly country. I have never heard of them preying on pop-ups. I have never even seen a track sniffing around my greywater, nor has anyone else polled over on that thread. Here is a link to the grey water discussion...

Roger that!!! I'd rather deal with a Gizzly. They are more predictable,.. Now there is cause to carry.

I do not know about zombies but spent about three months fishing around Forks, WA last year and had no problem with vampires. I posted some bear blog on the grey water thread that Casa mentioned. As for mold,... It has started showing up in the corners of my headliner and the edges in some...

I don't mean to cut or puff. My concern is that folks not attach an inordinate amount of fear with camping in bear country. I have spent hundreds of hours viewing Grizzlies and black bears. Like us, each has a distinct personality and capability. For instance one might be an excellent...

At the start of this thread I asked if anyone has ever had a problem with sink containment attracting bears. I use mine in bear country campgrounds and drain to the ground when off the grid. I have never attracted a bear print/from sniff, let alone a bear. Anyone else? I'm just curious....

IowaHiker,.. Having spent much time photographing, observing and fishing with wild Canadian and AK Grizzlies, I respectfully disagree with you wild bear comments. I believe wild bears are less dangerous because they are not familiar with humans and therefore avoid us. There are exceptions, the...

Frank I only leave the exterior lighting on all night when off the grid. However, at Meziadin Lake where I stayed in a Provincial Campground a tent camper next to me requested that I leave them on. RE the Cambell River,.. Last year I took the ferry from Rupert down to Port Hardy. I stayed at...

This comment is made not to encourage recklessness, but rather to put folks (spouses) at ease with FWCamping in bear country. I just returned from several months of filming grizzly bears and fishing in British Columbia. The three primary Grizzly areas were Meziadin Lake, Bella Coola and Chilko...

I have used picnic tables, stout storage boxes and saw horses as additional points of support along with the jacks. The cross plywood would work better than those. The floor requires support and if two people or a heavy person is/are going to sleep on the cab-over then you may need to tie down...

I like your set up BillHarr. Stalking,.. I understand that, but would just like to know if anyone has ever had a problem?

I am curious, has anyone ever had a bear problem with their sink drain?

What do you know about shock resistance? Is there any issue there?

I am curious if anyone else has run into this one? I have horse mats under mine to level it with the truck,.. I'll explain. First know I have a Hawk on an 2011 F-250, 6 3/4 bed. When I picked up my camper looking at it in side elevation it was higher in the front than in the back. The camper...

Here is a link to a total all agency universal compliant enclosure and grey water holding device... http://www.airstream.com/

There are countless brands of bio-degrade able shower soaps. I also do not leave a mess for the next camper, nor have I ever been asked to not use the shower by an authority or anyone else for that matter. If one wets down, soaps and then rinses you are not really using much water. Most of...
