Interesting innovative idea. You'll have to give a long term forum report once you've used it for a season, and see if the unused bar keeps enough pressure on it as the roll is used, to keep the remainder from unfurling in the wind.

Kinda wondered if they wouldn't find a way to build nests under there when you first showed us your open sided shelter. They can be pretty ingenious engineers when they see a safe place to build. Since you provided them with such a nice place, I hope they respect your RV's paint work.;)

That's where a good cook book comes in handy.;)

Unfortunately, that can be a problem with all of them, since small fridge/freezers like these don't have a fan to circulate the air within the refrigerated compartment, so instead physics take precedent, and gravity causes the cold dense air to settle to the bottom of the compartment. Not much...

Best to use the 120V outlet if you have electric hookups at your campsites, that allows your battery to get fully charged at camp, and not be constantly draining using the 12 V outlet, and less demand on the charger as well. If you don't have electric hookup and are just using solar to keep the...

Hate to say it, but the folks your dad lent the tent to probably did you a favor! A good excuse to get something more user friendly ;) Gitche Gumee can serve up some real bone chilling winds no matter what time of year it is. A CI would have been a real vaca saver at that point.:eek:

It is, but it sure would be nice if they all enjoyed equal billing, instead of 6 months of winter, 1 of spring, 3 of summer and 2 of fall. Oh well, until that happens I guess we'll just have to keep heading south to equal out the seasons.

Ah yes, the memories come flooding back. The big old Ted Williams Approved cabin tent. The canvas tent bag itself must have weighed about 80lbs, then there was the separate large bag of heavy duty aluminum poles that probably weighed another 40lbs, that had to be assembled, once you figured out...

That's part of the reason I didn't go with LiFePo in the TD. Pretty expensive to have dedicated to that use alone with as much camping as we are normally doing, where as the Sogen can be used for the Dometic as well as back up power for the TD. When not camping it can be back up power for the...

It looks like a well cared for unit at very reasonable price. I would be very surprised if the solar panel pictured above is 400 watts however, so guessing it was either a typo, or there are more panels included. Good luck with your sale!

Glad to hear your safely back in the nest, and starting your recovery. They say "Motion is the lotion", and if your doing stairs and 5 miles a day, that's a lot of lotion, which should make your road to recovery a much shorter one. Take care!

, Hey Kevin, I think the pipe wrap/pool noodle idea was someone else's, but it sounds like a good one. I am using some pipe wrap for the little suction cup and pipe attachment we are using to keep the Clam's front door screens closer to the CI side walls to help keep the bugs out when present...

Once you get them replaced, don't let the new ones spend their entire life in the garage.;)

Good luck.We'll be waiting for your positive report on Wed!

I think you will find that when you are ready to tow, if you crank the stand all the way up so the wheel is firmly held in place so it's fender can't bang against the side of the tongue rail, and the crank is allowed to hang down, it will move freely enough so that if something like road debris...

Yeah, I looked for the burn rate on the Tripod Torch website, but didn't really find a BTU rating for it, but they did claim a 10-15 hr burn on what they called a 5 gallon (20lb) LP tank, so it will be interesting to see what your observation is. I liked the low smoke aspect of the Solostove...

Looks like they could use some volunteer labor around the old school if you ever run out of things to do.;)

Glad to hear you seem to have found the solution for your comfortable good nights sleep! If your lower leg area wasn't part of your original discomfort, you might want to try tapering the thickness of your layers as they enter the foot well area to give you a little more toe space. Good luck!

Yeah, I hear ya. I was surprised when my first two attempts to use the LP port on the CI didn't work, especially the first, when I wasn't able to get enough flow. I could insert the end of a long Allen wrench down into the female quick connect and depress the center, and get plenty of gas flow...

We regularly enjoy burning wood in our fireplace at home, but even though I like the aesthetics of a campfire, I haven't been much of a wood campfire fan for all the reasons mentioned above, as well as not wanting to be a smoke chaser, or go to bed smelling like a chimney. So we have very rarely...
