That's a 10!

My research showed the average run for a Dometic to be 2.5 - 3 amps averaged at 25 degrees C for a daily high. Compressor time was over 5 amps. I wondered if the 45 watts was an average figure, although it should be closer to 33 watts. Babble - I found the smaller storage compartment in the...

With a 72 ah battery we have camped off grid for a week using lights, water pump, tv for movies and the Fantastic fan as desired. The battery was still in the green. A 12v electric blanket killed the battery in 8 hours on another trip. Based on the math, a fridge will run about 24 - 30...

Cary, now I understand where you are coming from. Once upon a time when I introduced Woody Wax I suggested starting with two complete CPR applications at first to fill in the valleys of the finish and leave a smooth surface. It then came out smooth for me. It is possible the valleys on the...

It appears CI had trouble applying the Metal Protectant correctly and was looking for an option for the two step process. An easier process to sell a coat of wax. Don’t be misled. If the Woody CPR system works great on 1 sq. ft. of aluminum it will work the same way on 2 sq. ft. or 130 sq...

My Taylor in/out has a 6 or 8' wire with a temperature sensing bulb covered in plastic on the end. The bulb is 1/4" diameter. I drilled a HOLE in the floor of the upper storage compartment of the alcan where the sending unit stays and ran the wire down into the lower compartment. When we...

Woody Wax and their CPR kit is made for metal - read aluminum - and is proven. Woody Wax XXX is made for fiberglass. If your CI is made of fiberglass, use XXX. Hilditch

Au contraire Jim. You said; "(the blowout, followed by the typical sound of running on a flat)" Not true at all when the blowout is behind the vehicle you are riding in. Not typical at all. The tire was not hot at the time of the blowout as a blowout does not occur at low air pressure or...

It's a Rover option. Sets up and packs up faster than a CI. Mattress included. Hilditch, 1%er

Please keep in mind our original milled finish is history due to staining before I discovered Woody Wax. Here are a couple of pics after going 25,000 miles braless. I hate bras. We have done minimal gravel roads with decent mud flaps. If those that have an Alcon cover used for a few...

A friend recently said he thought most teardrop buyers and builders did so because they thought they were cute and later found out that the teardrop camping style didn't fit them well. These folks seldom make even 50 nights after years of ownership. Here are some general categories...

Five gawkers slowly walking around the campground killing time. Walked past 5 tears but when they got to ours one said: “Can we see your camper?” “Sure, it’s a buck a question.” “What year is your car?” “That’s one. It’s a forty.” After showing the galley one asked, “Is there...

We were cruising along a freshly paved section of road out in the country at 60 mph pulling the tear when suddenly I heard a strange noise followed by a low rumbling sound like a diesel engine with a mild jake brake. I did not feel a thing change in the car. There was construction equipment...

Well, it happened again! But not quite as bad. However, in my defense, a buddy picked out this site for us. (If you don't have a reason, use an excuse.) Hilditch, 1%er

GREAT COOKING Frank! Damn oven. I also have this oven and it is great. As a warning to the new owners, using this oven to cook biscuits or pizza in the galley will scorch the wood. Keep it at 350o or below in the galley and use a remote burner for anything higher. Hilditch

No Dave, because it won't work on a mill finish that is stained well into the aluminum. A mill finish looks like this: VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV. To get a stain out you have to remove the stained metal at the sides and bottom of the v's. It isn't like a t-shirt with a stain where Shout or Tide will...

That sounds terrible. That is also why you won't find Hilditch at a pot luck. The real thing is worth the time. Hilditch

“Dutch Oven Bakery Pizza” In many Italian bakeries you will find a sheet pan of pizza cut into squares and sold by the slice. It has a thick bread crust and is meant to be eaten at room temperature. This recipe tastes like the 1950‘s Trusello’s Pizza. When I went with Pop for a Sunday...

Cross reference: Thread - “Of Course” As CI refines their efforts to keep their customers like me happy, the better our attitude will be at show and tell time. Better attitude = more sales = longer lead times = higher used value. As I get older the hatch gets heavier and without struts...

D@#n Newbies! Hilditch
