don't want to offend anyone but those two ingredients are the basis for a concoction known as a Purple Jesus

so if gin can be used to winterize then I'd assume vodka would work as well. I'm interested in some other medium mainly because it took *many* tanks of water before I couldn't taste the antifreeze. so what say ye, Cary? Vodka's cheap (the brand I'd use is, for sure), mostly odorless and...

I had heard the stories of weird stuff happening if you tried to pull the brake signal up front so I stayed completely away from the multiplex wires coming out of the brake pedal and got the brake signal for the controller directly from one of the wires running to a brake light. That meant I had...

we've got 8k+ miles and 48 nights since March using a 2012 Jetta tdi wagon to tow our 550. This includes a nice trip all over Newfoundland in August as well as trips to the Smokies and Shenandoahs. The tdi has done a great job. Cary's right about the mileage - low 30s. He's also right about...

wow. that 16 footer is big. covers the whole mess. thanks for posting the photos.

got a picture of the Noah's tarp over your 'drop? I'm also interested in some relatively quick way to cover the doors.

they're shown in kitchen accessories in the online store on the company website. http://tinycamper.com/options6.htm

thanks for the feedback, y'all. One more question - do you generally just leave them installed or remove them each time you use them? Seems like they could be a hassle to get tucked in when closing the ever-heavier hatch. and I don't know about slimfast as my backup rations. I'm thinking...

we're heading up to Newfoundland in August and I expect it's likely to be a bit windy. Do the galley windscreens make a big difference in the operation of the stove? I'm having a hard time imagining that they'll do much in more than light winds but that's why I'm asking. I sure don't mind...

I recently bought an 85 watt panel from UL Solar. That and a 60 ft mc4 cable (makes a 30 footer when you cut it in half) cost about $220. Could have bought more watts for less for sure. I went with the 85 watt panel for the form factor. I think 85 watts is going to be enough to power the...

anyone found a 12 volt splitter they like? I need to be able to plug in the dometic and volt meter at the same time. Also maybe charge a phone, etc. Looking for one that will stay in the socket going down the road.

yep, I just wanted to know if folks are successfully plugging and unplugging mc4 connectors. Sounds like that's exactly what you're doing. I've read elsewhere (but what can you believe on the web …) that those connectors are too fragile for frequent plugging/unplugging. thanks for the...

I assume at least some you who are using solar panels are connecting to them using MC4 connectors. This seems to be at least somewhat of a standard. I've got a panel on the way and have obtained a cable with mc4 connectors and have attached it to the 12v plug so I can jack in to the 550. My...

Re: Rafters for REI Alcove well, I've only had one experience with a big rain storm and the alcove, but based on the advice in this forum I had 4 or 5 36" bungee cords attached between the center roof support and each side. These "rafters" kept the water from pooling on the roof and bending...

Re: Rafters for REI Alcove I recently bought twelve 36" bungees for our new alcove. I think 24" would be too tight.

I bought this claw and it works fine: http://www.amazon.com/Tire-Claw-XL-Lock-491KA/dp/B002AQLQAK I also bought this set of lug nut locks and they also work just fine. You get four but of course only need two. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000COS074/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

according to the measurements on the Dometic-Waeco website, it looks to me like the CFX-35 is too big to fit in the galley space. The width is 630 mm without handles and the depth is 398 mm. Those convert to 24.8 x 15.7, both of which are larger than the galley space on our 550. I'm not sure...

D&V just curious - the Harvest Hosts website says RVs have to be "self-contained" including a toilet or porta potty. How do y'all deal with that? Side tent and bucket with seat? and thanks for the link. robt 550 ultra #645
