    Upper Peninsula, Michigan

    For years I had read articles about the beauty and wilderness of Upper Peninsula (UP) Michigan. This was my spring to find out firsthand. After extensive reading and online study I decided May was a perfect month for my trip as I prefer low temperatures to mosquitos and black flies. As...

    As a rule of thumb I never disconnect without putting my chocks in place first. A good safety habit.

    Fridge / Cooler 12v Fridge - Where Do You Store It

    My preferred method for my Dometic is traveling with it in the TV in 12 VDC freezer mode making ice in trays and frozen water bottles and my cooler in the TD. This provides quick access for icing drinks while traveling without raiding the TD. If I have shore power I rotate my Dometic to the TD...

    Single cup coffee makers

    Powerdocking or boondocking these always make the best coffee. The french press is double walled for insulation and keep your brew at the perfect temperature. Coffee grinder is adjustable for espresso or regular grind. Nothing inorganic to discard. IMHO the perfect solution for limited...

    Will Walbernize Fix This?

    Amazon.com: Mothers 05101 Mag & Aluminum Polish - 10 oz: Automotive This product has worked well for my 550 which looked a lot like yours. One 10 oz container is enough to do my 550 with a little left over. You will need lots of polishing clothes as the oxidation it removes fills up the...
