    Fridge / Cooler Yeti Coolers!

    Cary, this is great news. :cool: I've come full circle and want a Coleman that fits in the kitchen galley, and a Yeti for longer term storage. Too bad Yeti doesn't make a model the same exterior dimensions as the Coleman. If they did it would have the same capacity as their current model 45...

    Warm greetings from East Central Florida!

    Welcome to the Tiny Trailer world. The family wouldn't be connected to Mike and Frank of American Pickers? I visited LeClair this past fall. I'm in waiting mode too, but for a 560. Ordered in November with a first half July delivery. As you explore and learn from the owners on this forum...

    Teardrop Australian Style

    Australia and the surrounding oceans do have some unique creatures. Steve Irwin (R.I.P.), “The Crocodile Hunter”, was one of my favorite nature shows. It was through his TV shows that I became aware of the deadly creatures that Australia has to offer. It’s definitely not all Kangaroos and...

    Teardrop Australian Style

    I agree that a lot of thought has gone into the design of this trailer, but you cannot simply pull into a rest stop and crawl in a take a nap. Some set up is required first. The land mass of Australia is the size of the US, less Alaska. However, the southernmost point is as far from the south...

    Charging Voltage

    I'm interested in having both voltage and amperage information on charge and discharging the battery. With an AGM battery it is sealed and cannot be checked with a hydrometer. Over time an individual can observe the cycle performance better knowing both voltage and amperage. Bogart Engineering...

    All Stainless Steel Option

    Randy, In a salt water environment I think you would be looking at 316L Stainless Steel. This contains 16% Chromium, 10% nickel, and 2% molybdenum. The molybdenum is added to help resist corrosion to chlorides (like sea water and de-icing salts). The L at the end of 316 is for low carbon...

    Galley Back Wall Protection

    Mark, sorry to hear that you and your daughter have a reaction to dryer sheets. Bummer. The camping guide information that I referenced stated that typically varmints (raccoons, skunks, possums, field mice) are more problematic in camping than bears, but that the dryer sheets were effective...

    Galley Back Wall Protection

    Randy, nice work. I assume you can slide the cooler over the mats on the storage bins. This will prevent long term scratching of the stainless steel surface. The following is a tip from a camping guide. "All animals hate the smell of fabric softener so bring lots of fabric softener sheets and...

    Galley Back Wall Protection

    I thought about this a little more. Switch and adhere the Velcro loop side to the stainless steel wall and attach the hook side to the baking mats. The reason is that the hooks might snag on a cooler cozy, whereas the loop won't. I would still make the Velcro on the stainless wall twice the area...

    Galley Back Wall Protection

    Randy. I wonder if putting small taped Velcro squares (hook) near the top of the stainless back splash and opposite Velcro (loop) on the mats to hold the mats in place would serve as a semi permanent way to keep splatter to the mats only. You could custom cut mats for the side walls too. Make...

    TV/DVD The New(er 2012) Flat Panel TV

    Re: The New Flat Panel TV Looking up the SC-1512 there is a lot of "mumbo-jumbo" about the DVD player on this unit. It doesn't specifically say Blue Ray, but can it play Blue Ray DVD's? I'm hoping it does, since the TV is HD.

    LIttle Buddy Propane Heater?

    This forum is great. Thanks for setting me straight about any type of heater that robs oxygen from the cabin. With a delivery date in summer, I'm planning on going to Necedah in early-to-mid March to firm up all options. It will be good to meet up with Craig and Cary and see the workmanship...

    LIttle Buddy Propane Heater?

    I selected options when I placed my order with Cary, but I have been reading and analyzing the forum to fine tune my final selections. My delivery date is first half of July. I, like Randy, wanted to explore different options than a Camp-Inn furnace. Discussion in this topic has convinced me...

    How Large a vehicle do I really need

    Re: does anyone own a 2013 subaru impreza sport? I did a search on etrailer.com and found that an aftermarket product by Curt only offers a Class I hitch for the 2013 Subaru Impreza. As you pointed out, a Class I hitch only accepts an 1-1/4" receiver. The manner required for a structural...

    $500 breakaway cable

    I don't know why I thought you were connected to the tow vehicle. Obviously if you went to have the cable repaired, then it wasn't connected to the car. My Bad!

    $500 breakaway cable

    Question for the sparkies (electrical types) out there. Steve made the comment that the battery charger is susceptible to failure when charging from the tow vehicle. Am I correct that a solar panel could do the same thing? What about the controller that is part of the solar connection array...
