Here's a quick video I edited of the trail. This is just the last bit of climb up and the decent down to Webster pass. Gives an idea of the steepness.

Interesting sure makes them easy to remember. It only seems to happen when we get near civilization. Might be we need to get further off the grid when we go. I'm ok with that. That's pretty easy to due desert romping, but playing in the Rockies is a tad bit harder.jmodge said:Sounds like you are having some interesting trips, (as well as some of the characters you encounter here's to hoping you stay on the better end of those trips.
We run in to a lot of interesting things in michigan also. Can't get as far from civilization here, although there are remote and neat spots. A person hasn't experienced Michigan unless they have travelled the dirt roads. Took us three days to get into the upper peninsula, a 200 mile trip. We met a family in an Alaskan camper from Tuscon on a ten week trip to New York. Couple years ago a couple from Toronto in a Vanagon whom had not been home in 2 1/2 years(they made me a little jealous, but I am happy for them)Zoomad said:Interesting sure makes them easy to remember.

We spent 7 years living in the Detroit metro area while I started my career at GM. One thing I regret was not going north in the summertime. We got as far as Frankenmuth, which is cool but we didn't go much beyond that. I did go up to my neighbor's cabin up on Sage lake for some ice fishing. Pretty country for sure. No offense, I did giggle when I saw my first Michigan ski area though.jmodge said:We run in to a lot of interesting things in michigan also.

Yes, whole different area, our mountains are a bump in the road compared to what you have out west, I do like being near water all the time though. Hunted in Greybull Wyoming once and out to the Phoenix and Concho Lake area, Snake River Canyon. I was at the Grand Canyon probably the only time it was closed. In the 90's during a government shut down. They paid someone to turn people away, ha, government intelligence.Zoomad said:We spent 7 years living in the Detroit metro area while I started my career at GM.

I'd like to get back and explore the UP and the shoreline of the great lakes at some point, but that's a long haul from CO.
I do love our Rockies right out my front door. But the more I get in the deserts of the southwest the more I like them too. I will say this I like it all. The adventure is going and checking it out.jmodge said:Yes, whole different area, our mountains are a bump in the road compared to what you have out west, I do like being near water all the time though.

Well I finally got around to wiring the furnace and t-stat in. Following your guide I wired everything in. I hooked up the regulator to the propane tank and turned the main power on. I dialed up the temp to it's highest setting and the blower came on like it should. No heat though. I shut everything down, rechecked the regulator and gave it a couple of taps for good measure. Turned it back on and the burner lit off. I got heat now. It belts it out. Turned the t-stat down and the burner shut off and the blower kept running for a few more minutes to cool down before shutting off on it's own.PokyBro said:Zoomad,
Great job on your continued build. Nothing like warmer weather to get you motivated!
Regarding your furnace wiring, I had a lot of trouble figuring that out too, and difficulty finding a diagram that made sense. But here is the information you're looking for. The black wire is ground, the red wire is positive. the blue wire goes to your thermostat, then the other wire that will leave the thermostat also goes to positive. On mine, I hooked the red wire to a fuse block, black to a ground bus bar grounded to the frame, and as I indicated above, there will need to be another wire leaving the thermostat that also got connected to the positive fuse block. Your thermostat will have two screws to attach wires.
Hope that helps, give it a try!

Yep very aware of that group. Sadly, not much crosses over between the Chinook camper used for the Chalet and the blazer fwc. But I do follow along for tips or ideas to swipe that might work in mine.sourdough said:OP you might already know about this group...Yahoo Autos Groups Chalet/Casa Grande owners & enthusiasts forum.
