    Tongue- Tank Upgrade and Makeover

    Just had our 11LB tank re-certified for $8 plus mandatory fill (wasn't empty, but didn't want to risk running out). certification process seemed to consist of spaying valve connections with soapy water and looking for leaks.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    The fat tires & front shocks on the Lectric bikes really help a lot with smoothing out the bumps coming from terrain the front wheels experience.

    Glad to hear they have taken care of that issue, even though it's something that was fairly easily adapted to....well for most people anyway.

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    Oh, I knew we were unfortunately going to miss out on all the wonderful cobblers, and homemade ice cream with our early departure. It was the carrot cake I was wondering about....it's one of my favorites, and I hadn't seen that as part of the dessert fare in the past, but I suspect it maybe...

    Yes, the UP should be beautiful this time of year. It might very well be worth an extra day and night on the journey home.

    You're more than welcome! I would have gladly let you try it for an hour or two just to get a chance to put it completely through its paces. They do seem to have sales about every other week, especially in the fall / holiday season. If I remember right, we got ours just before the 2nd to the...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    We weren't able to stay long enough to enjoy the pot-luck, but did enjoy our three nights there seeing old friends, and meeting a few new ones! It was just our second trip towing the TD with the Silverado EV, and it went even better than the first. I wasn't sure if recharging at the...

    Fixes/upgrades 550: Advice sought

    We did adapt a Camp Chef Ranger 2 to fit on the slide that the original stove was on, and it does slide in to the same space, and uses the same gas line. We've enjoyed the better flame adjustability, and the piezo electric lighters. We also (if we remember:)) put ramps under the TD wheels when...

    Pulled in about 5 or so, and finished setting up about dark. Should sleep well tonight. Looking forward to daybreak.

    Welcome! Glad to see another EV TV. Anxious to hear how your 5 week adventure back home transpired, and how you went about planning your route, and charging stops. I only have one camping trip with our EV TV under my belt so far, and it went well too, but will have another one coming up in a few...

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    When we built our home over 40 yrs ago, the lawn was completely covered with Kentucky Blue Grass sod.....that was the best it ever looked. With 50ft deciduous trees surrounding the place, once they leafed out in the spring, that was the end of the all day sun that grass wants to have. I tried...

    Tongue Mounted Bike Rack?

    I'll try to remember to take some pics the next time I have everything hooked up on the new truck. The old was a VW Passat TDI, and the bike rack was on the back of the TD with that vehicle, and a dual extension hitch would not have worked on that TV due to the TV tongue weight limit.

    Tongue Mounted Bike Rack?

    That's what I have gone to with the new truck. I wanted to get the bikes off the back of the TD so we could more easily get into the galley on the road, so I got the dual hitch extension so I could put them between the truck and camper. The rack we have has the oval loops that the bike tires...
