It does have a V8, that's all you need, isn't it?

I am a fan of the Nuvite Nushine products. They are available at Aircraft Spruce and other vendors, NUVITE NUSHINE II METAL POLISH | Aircraft Spruce I got a dual action polisher at Harbor Freight with a number of foam pads. I used a large piece of flannel material wrapped around the pad and...

I'm tempted to get a hitch for my Model3, just as an academic exercise to see what the range really is with a 560 behind. It certainly has the power to pull it, but the energy consumption is the big question. We tow with our Xterra because that is the vehicle we want to use when the 560 is at a...

Our last trip out our REI Alcove met with a damaging windstorm in the desert, ripping the fabric in one corner where the tie-down cord attaches. I tied it down directly to the canopy frame for the rest of the outing and that worked until we got home. I repaired the fabric cover at home by...

The tail light module is simply held into the aluminum skin with a giant grommet; getting it out is pretty easy, work a putty knife or something under the grommet and work it out. Getting it back in is a bit more fiddly, but putting some dish soap on the grommet will help it skoosh back in. The...

Brakes wear out, but many trailerites set the braking level too high which wears early. A 550 is quite light and Camp Inn puts in an oversized axle. On an empty open level road get your rig rolling about 30 mph then put it in neutral. Manually apply the trailer brakes, it should slow the rig a...

A scotchbrite pad is your friend. Get a fine pad, mix a few deops of dish soap in some water. Lightly rub the pad in the direction of the grain of the aluminum, and then rinse with water. It should blend in the corrosion spots. It will be a bit shinier than the surrounding surface, but over...

In my opinion, 10 years is a general rule of thumb, modified by conditions. If the trailer is stored outdoors, life can be shorter. Also, some tires are higher quality and can last longer, low quality, shorter life. Higher temperatures and the presence of Ozone shorten life. As Ken says, if the...

3D printing is not for the faint of heart, it can have a steep learning curve. Having said that, my two printers are from XYZ printing, but I started out with a build it yourself printer kit my son gave me, that evolved until I grew out of it. One factor is the support of different kinds of...

Great, the West Marine stays are much higher quality than the ones on Amazon; they are molded with nice rounded edges where the Amazon ones are cut from a sheet and have sharp edges that shed fibers. I got three 8 foot stays, then designed and printed three sets of brackets. The stays are cut in...

Where did you get the boat cover stays? I can imagine some 3D printed ends to clip onto the roof poles. My bungee cords are an imperfect solution.

Thanks for the link to Home Depot's offering. Based on your information, I ordered one from Home Depot to be delivered to my house. It arrived, shipped directly from Renogy, but when I opened the box, I was surprised to find a flat folding solar panel without the aluminum frame, just enclosed...

It says it is infrared, what that seems to mean is that it has steel plates between the flame and the grill so they heat up to spread out the heat. Having said that, I think it's great, especially if you are doing things like steak, sausages, or burgers, heats up quickly (saves gas) and does a...

We carry a Char-Broil Grill2Go x200, just right for us. We got the propane adapter hose from Camp-Inn, it plugs directly in to the trailer utility panel. It is small enough to fit with the 0ther stuff in our tow, or if necessary in the trailer itself. It heats up quickly, will grill a couple of...

I would be willing to bet if you have the sink and tanks, you have the pump. On the right side of the galley there should be a panel with a red switch; that switch turns on the pump. If that doesn't work, check the fuses. They are behind a plate on the right side of the right hand under counter...

Camp Inn uses marine plywood which is pretty impervious. A coating of something probably won't hurt, but I don't think it is necessary. Personally I wouldn't use linseed oil unless you like the smell of linseed oil. You would likely smell the linseed for along time.

Gas can spout. We carry NATO style gas cans to have extra fuel for boondocking. Without the spout it is impossible to get the fuel into the tank. That trip to death valley had severely restricted excursions. Stopping at several auto parts houses was no help, they had spouts for other types of...

I got mine here. Yakamoz 3 Set of 3pcs 1/4-Inch Shank Magnetic Square Head Screwdriver Bits | SQ1 SQ2 SQ3, 2-Inch Length - - Amazon.com

I think the best place to find the nut is from another jack. You can disassemble a jack to harvest the nut. I believe you can get a similar jack at Harbor Freight for $35, hopefully the thread is the same. 2.5 ton Leveling Scissor Jack
