Steve, I'm really interested in what the Ultra Gloss did. Is it as shiny as new? More? Easier to use than Walbernize? If you could post a pic of your tear I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Hilditch

Eric, I had posted this on another site: "As I couldn’t get anyone to do this for me, I had to do a lot of homework and come up with something myself. The best tow vehicle for my 1,500# tear would be: Curb weight: 3,000#’s +/- 10% Rear wheel HP & Torque: As these are so...

On the average the hood on our ’04 Camry gets opened once every 6 months. Cary claims that struts need to be used on a regular basis or they will leak. Our original struts on the Camry work just fine, thank you. Cary is probably right about cheap, 1983 or underrated struts. However he is...

Mick'n Sarah, how is the fun working out? Hilditch

Sounds like a cool thing to do Dave. Be sure and test it with a couple of months summer sun, ocean salt spray and 1,000 miles being pulled in the rain like I did with my testing. I found out that out on the deck for a few weeks only told part of the story. Hilditch

Here in the U.S., the rangers will ask you to put it in a plastic cup, just like we found in Canada unless you deserve something else. Hilditch

Guys, we don't have a heater, but just as a reference we use an average of 1 1/2 lbs per day cooking two meals so we made it a week with our 11 lb. tank before the gas shut off. When it shut off, there was still 1 lb. in the tank. Based on what Evan said, I'd swag that the heater uses 1/2 to...

It is. Just send one to Cary with a $100 bill wrapped around it and tell him specifically where you want it installed. Hilditch

I couldn't find it either. Bottom middle, page two. Hilditch

Boy Evan, you said that a whole lot nicer than I would have. Hilditch

Dave, We spent our first two nights at Derge Park in Bever Dam, WI June 1st of '08. A nice quiet campground that gave us time to load the tear and get our act together with shopping and restaurants close by, not to mention being in range of Camp-Inn. The campers there were stand-offish so...

No thanks George. I know exactly what I am talking about. Also, hopefully the way I explained it didn't confuse anyone. Hilditch

I love cooking in ci. Probably 75% of our meals involve ci cooking and I own a half dozen Griswold ci waffle irons. However, camping with a CI requires some thoughtful balancing and common sense. When camping, we normally cook for two or four if we want leftovers for another meal or have...

No, no & no. Physics 101. However, having your sled dogs sleep under the tank might help. Piping the regulator so it is in the front upper storage compartment would really help. Hilditch

Betsey, obviously you have not Walbernized a tear yourself. Jean, check back in on the value of a man after you have Walbernized your tear. Hilditch

Jim, No. Actually, one could make one, but you don't want to go there. The pump does not pressurize the tank, just the delivery system like a fuel pump in a car. If the pump turns on by itself there is an open valve or a leak in pressure - maybe back through the pump. The battery...

Aw gee. You mean that upside down trick won't work for the stove? Hilditch

Jean, Mine is a Phillips 'MANT940' that I got at WalMart for $40. It can be mounted on a pole, but I mounted it on a small board to sit on top of the tear. The whole thing stores behind the TV (not tow veh.) I don't use a pole. Works good within 30 miles, fair to 35 miles. Then...

Dave, Once upon a time Cary said they wipe them down with kerosene after peeling off the white plastic. He can advise. After that, you can do your homework here by reading the Care & Maintenance section. Hilditch

Having bear spray helps the paranoid relax. Besides, it's not really for bears, now is it? Hilditch
