As much as the CampInn provides acres of prep surface with the tables and extensions, sometimes you just want more. Such as a place to be able put groceries/food if you are loading or unloading the cooler on the side table, without impinging on the galley surface, which may be in use. This one...

There have been some lively, lengthy discussions on the forum in the past about coffee. The Aeropress, which I have and use at home, gets a big thumbs up all 'round from forum members. However, not much mention of portable, real, espresso. After blowing out the seals on the Handpresso...

The GFCI in the galley wasn't tripping, and it tested OK for me. But a visual inspection from the outside (I didn't take it apart) showed some corrosion, particularly at the ground. I installed a new one. This one has a green indicator light (not very obvious in the pic); it lets you know you...

Thanks. You are correct. I just discovered (after reading your response) that testing and recertifying a 20lb tank around here costs about half ($30) of buying new. So not nearly as bad as I had originally thought. But a new 11-pounder, for some strange reason, was going to run me $160, no...

They can. The process, from what I understand, isn't that simple, convenient or cheap. Worthwhile for a big one, but anything 20 lbs and under becomes recycling.

Honestly... didn't know there was a tongue category.

Our 11lb squatty tank timed out at 10 years and couldn't be refilled. Sourcing a direct replacement was difficult and/or extremely expensive as it's a bit of an oddball. This, and the fact that an 11-pound tank will last us many, many trips, got me looking at the 5-pounders that are ubiquitous...

V&T: Our 2kwh unit stays in the basement. At 50 lbs its portable, but not really. The 1kwh units are portable, but are still somewhat cumbersome for trailer /road use, and overkill for our mobile purposes. The small EF Trail 300 is perfect for the Dometic and as a Camp-Inn 12V back-up. Doing a...

I have just finished configuring the house for emergency backup, using 4 different, brand new LiFePO4 EcoFlows (D3MP, D3 Classic, D2, River2) with a combined capacity of 5kwh. They'll power most things by me taking them to their respective "zone": basement, kitchen, entertainment area, and next...

Even 1-pounders that aren’t refilled can develop leaks, if they are spun on and off multiple times. Unless you are in the habit of soaping the orifice to check it, every time you take one off an appliance (I’m not), these brass caps with an o-ring will help to contain a low-pressure leak, and...

K&P: I too was concerned about the cost and waste associated with the 1lb bottles when I got the Mr Heater Big Buddy, and considered refills as an option. Mr Heater Buddy Connection To Aux Propane Port? A shallow internet dive dissuaded me from pursuing that approach. There are far too many...

Sorry Sweeney. I have been a little "unplugged" from the forum lately. The 3 on-board chargers I have are the: 1) Renogy DC-DC 30A (set to a maximum Bulk 20 amps) 2 A Sunsport6 for the 100W solar panel 3) the Victron IP67 7A charger Everything seems to be playing well together, with nothing...

I've recently been "playing" with a lot of gas stuff (auxiliary heaters, C-I stove, a vintage cooker) and some of the problems I have run into have been pressure-related. Diagnosing some of these issues might have been a little easier if I had had this on hand...

It came today. And it's so cute!
