Another thing I find interesting about this discussion is that people seem to think you need to drill a bunch of holes in your roof and then seal them to prevent/delay leaks. While the glass panels are certainly heavier the newish ultra high bond strength adhesives are pretty amazing. There...

I love that someone took the time to find what Cod(83%moisture)'s thermal conductivity is, 0.54. Just happens to be 2.7x higher than Butter(15% moisture)'s. I never would have guessed that.

Nice work ckent. For those wondering your aluminum roof sheeting is a very poor heat sink, it's too low mass. It's also much too thin to transfer heat from one part of the roof to another. I do hope these work out though if only because it makes mounting so much simpler. FWC et all certainly...

My old cabin cruiser had a port side couch right behind the v-berth bulkhead. The back of which would hinge upward and that would turn the couch into two narrow bunks. I used to love napping in the upper bunk because you could see out the windows if someone stopped by. If your camper is long...

$1.76 last night at QT in Kansas City. About $0.80 more for diesel but I didn't really look hard as I wasn't in the truck. We need a new choice for the poll. Something like... O The price of Grey Poupon has a larger affect.

I do this sort of thing all the time so I would open the case and use some clamp leads to read voltage going into the board. If you don't want to do that disconnect the solar some time and read the voltage when the fridge runs and you're awake. If it stays around 12.7 then it could be the fridge...

No opinion but did you by chance notice the country of origin? Can't seem to find it on Les's or Mazama's site. Thanks

Vic, The design of the Alaskans really weakens the structure compared to just a normal slide in so if you want a 70's camper I'd look for one with the least amount of complexity. It will improve your odds of finding a decent starting point. I've never figured out why Alaskans have such a...

I would look behind the tracks that guide the top when it raises and all around the floor especially near the door. The two I've looked at both were essentially gone in both those area. The tracks get water behind them, I assume the caulking dries, and the wood rots. At that point the roof...

I had one in my Clark Cortez after the original French one failed. It was on one side of the hall so about 32" from an opposing wall. It did a good job heating the camper in a very damp sort of way but what bothered me was how hot the wood got that was sitting across from it. You have to vent...

I see them once in a while looking in the Denver area for pop ups. It seems they were built there. What I'm wondering after seeing some pictures is how were they made? People seem to report surprisingly low weights and the ones I've seen pictures of seem very straight and sound and relatively...

No manual transmission so I'm out. Maybe when they offer a 20 speed auto I'll finally hop on board.

Nice. Those are a couple of good looking dogs.

The minivac.com unit is a marine AC and requires a water source. If you look closely around their rather poor website you'll notice that you can't see a condenser coil or any ductwork leading outside.

Whatever you do get a MPPT controller instead of a PWM. You'll receive somewhere in the area of 30% more charge over the lifetime of your panel and that will allow you to purchase a smaller, and easier to store, one. I'm not sure why a quick wipe to clean a fixed panel would be any more...

Thanks guys. A buddy works at a dealers auction that runs through a couple thousand cars a week and he's agreed to look for me. Not sure why but it cracked me up that aardvark thinks twenty years ago is a bygone era. Almost like the truck will have points and a mechanical voltage regulator.

I've been looking at Tacos recently and happened to come across a 95' T100. The standard cab was too small but the truck kind of intrigued me just because it's a bit bigger without being too big plus you can get the 2.7l 4cy and a manual trans. So, has anyone had one and how well did it hold up...

I've talked to the Spot-x people too and it does seem as though you can text away for $30/MO. From what I can tell they really don't have the firmware working properly and what you get does not work so you need to update right out of the box. I might wait a couple of months to see if they can...

If it's OK to talk about the Spot-X...Does anyone know if 'unlimited custom messages' on the $30/mo plan means unlimited text messages 24/7? If so I'd probably ditch my phone and get one of these. For what I can tell you get a phone number. This thing kind of reminds me of my old Blackberry but...

Wrong country or I'd be all over that one

For oddball sized, especially small, items I find USPS the best. They usually have 3 or 4 different options depending on your need for speed or insurance and they are generally nearby. If you go to a fedex or ups hub and avoid your local 'retail' outlet you will also get better pricing but then...

https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/rvs/d/for-sale-2900-lance-camper-77/6588289538.html I've owned a couple of these mid 70's F-100's and can't imagine loading this into it. With ratchet straps no less.

New here so I don't want to dog someone else's camper. Anyone who wants to PM me is welcome to. If I had bought it first thing would have been to replace the whole tub. Seller said she cut out the original structure so it wouldn't interfere with the wheel wells of her Ram 3500. Rear roof support...
