    Dometic CFX3 35 Powered Cooler

    My Dometic CFS3 35 cooler has a battery saver mode, you can set it so when the input voltage gets low it will turn itself off. I have a yeti 1400 that I power mine off of, it will last for several days without needing to be recharged. I can recharge the yeti off a 12v outlet, so when I am...

    Stupid question #5 the impending doom of gas powered outdoor equipment in CA

    The ban doesn't happen until 2024. I have seen a lot of sales on power equipment over the last month, but these are just 'year end' clearance sales (people out side the state have these sales also). So I won't come to Cal just to buy power equipment. As for the chain saw, last year I needed to...

    Wind deflectors and Aero mods for fuel economy.

    I read an article about all the aerodynamic mods made on big rigs. At best these help fuel mileage increase by 1-2%. So on one truck you might not notice it, but when you have a fleet of 1000 trucks it starts to pay off.

    Grand Teton NP camping

    Isn't yosemite requiring you to have a reservation just to get into the park? I am not sure if this going to be permanent or just a covid thing. I have read several articles that camping and RV sales are through the roof since covid hit. I wonder what will happen in a year to 2.

    roof lifting helper shocks thingys

    I think I read every thread on mounting the struts but I feel like I missed something. I hope someone can fill me in. I have a Grandby camper I order the 40lbs struts, I assume these are a good size. More important where did you mount the pivot points. Does anyone have a measurement off center...

    Electric Pickup Truck

    Who is the lighting pick up or the hybrid f150 for? The only configuration they come in is super cab with 5.5ft bed. Why don't they come with a bigger bed? I guess they are selling these to people that want a big car with out buying a big car.

    Maybe I missed it but how did you determine where to drill (left to right)? Are you going through a stud, or are you just using the inside wall and siding to hold this in place? Thanks

    Dometic CFX3 35 Powered Cooler

    I ended up getting the Dometic CFX3 35. Last night I plugged it into my Yeti 1000, using the 12DC, and put 12 cans of soda in it. Set the temp to 38. It ran for several hours then it turned it self off, due to low battery voltage. It looks like the older (non x versions) Yetis don't have a 12v...

    Charcoal usage in no fire area?

    We were camping in southern Utah, wood fires were a big no. Charcoal fires were ok, BUT you need to pack out your ashes.

    push/safety bar

    Over the weekend the front roof support collapsed on me. I have an older camper, I am not sure what to call this thing, the safety (or push) bar bent. On my camper this is made out of an aluminum wire. I see on the newer campers this looks like it was replaced by a '2x4'. Has anyone replaced the...

    Aurora NV

    I was out looking for Aurora NV last weekend. I was able to find the cemetery, but not the town site. There looks like a big foundation on the hill side going to the cemetery, is that is all that is left of the town? Did the big mine 'eat' the town? Thanks

    Jack Brackets

    I am going to be getting my truck painted soon, that means taking the camper off. I find that the camper jacks are mounted too far inward. If the truck isn't lined up perfectly, I end up scratching the paint, on the jacks. What I was planing on doing is going down to the hardware store and get...

    Not sure if this will work for you, but I have a Garmin GPS and added a BC 30 wireless backup camera to. I like a portable gps since I drive different trucks, now I can have a backup camera in both trucks.
