Yes they are

I liked having an oven but never used it often - probably the least used appliance I had.

I have two RMK-2 Rieco Titan hydraulic camper jack maintenance kits. Each kit contains all components to repair two jacks. Kits are complete and unopened. $20 each

I use a two gallon pump sprayer with a plastic shower head on an extended hose. The sprayer is black, so if left in the sun it gets warm. If not warm enough, pour a couple of quarts in a pot and bring to a boil, then pour it back into the sprayer. Pump and bathe. I have all of $35 in the shower...

I stopped in West Marine to look at Magma grills and found they were going on sale this week. I liked the compact size and light weight, so I purchased one online. The one I ordered was 1/3 off and they threw in a padded carry bag. Decent deal if anyone is looking

Bombsight Don't take this wrong, but you may have the wrong camper. You seem to be trying to cram too much into a very small unit. The more devices you ad merely makes things more complex and troublesome, hindering your enjoyment of the experience. It is a camper not an RV. KISSS Just the...

In a perfect world, but in reality solar isn't absolutely reliable. Weather, shade, time of year, and other factors conspire keep solar from operating at optimal efficiency. With shorter days and low angle of the sun -solar charging is limited in the winter. That aside, water is probably the...

Only if you don't breathe

No need to duck, but you may be disappointed with the real world results.(especially if you have access compressor fridge) I have gone from an 1800w inverter to a 300w. I used the 300 mostly to charge electronics, grind coffee beans and to occasionally power other low power devices. Now I have...

... and circuit breakers or fuses between the solar panel and charge controller, and between the charge controller and the batteries.

110v from the batteries ? You will need an inverter, a catastrophe fuse (sized to the size of the inverter), some wire, and an outlet. A cut off switch would be also be advisable, as the inverter will have low amperage draw even when nothing is being powered from it.

We must have started around the same time. I retired nine years ago after 32 years in the fire service ... and I ain't no Fireman! (never worked for the railroad)

One word ... amas

Clean those panels ; )

Yes, nice boat, balanced and fast, but unforgiving.

I won't even try to run down the list of boats we both have owned/paddled/sailed over the past 50 yrs. Currently we are down to 5 - 2 Wilderness Pungo rec kayaks, 1 Current Designs sea kayak, 1 OCC sea kayak, and a Sea Pearl 21 beach camp crusier. Last year we acquired a "free" boat trailer, we...

Sometimes we do what we have to do. I'll try to keep that one in the old memory bank

ROFL ! Yes it would require a lot of ice... and electricity. If you will notice in the "before" inset the fan was blowing 68-70 degree air ... because he was running his test in an air conditioned house. Also evaporative cooling doesn't work well in humid climes like the deep south. I usually...

They were actually using a similar device in the Jack Pine races back in the 30s. Nice, simple, light weight alternative to a winch, but only a small part of a "complete" recovery kit. This alone will not be adequate in all situations anymore than electric or hydraulic winch would.

Not all do. A stand alone monitor monitors not only charging but discharging. It can show amps coming in from ANY source or amps being used so you can determine how much juice any device draws. They will display % charge, so you can literally read them like a fuel gauge. Again they can show...

Maybe... maybe not. I have not seen FWCs warranty, as I bought an older camper, but I am guessing it is like most others. FWC warrants the camper, but the components are warranted by their respective manufacturers. Warranty services are hard to come by on the road. I feel certain that if you...

No one has mentioned a battery monitor. I believe a good battery monitor to be crucial to maintaining deep cycle batteries. You will always know your batteries condition and state of charge. Until I am able to install solar panels, I will monitor their state of charge and charge them as needed...

Yes, a truly unique vehicle in any case

If I recall, at one time Ferd offered a Cummins in their medium duty trucks, but not the 250s and 350s. Being a 550 this may be the case

Leave the carpet. You won't miss it. Put a grass mat type cover on your step to help control the dirt tracking. Is it possible to carry the chairs in the cab of the truck ? I camp from a motorcycle, have to go light. It is truly amazing how much you can live without. If I carry an item an it...
