Morocco last October. It was my first vacation on a bike and I loved it.

They don't leak as long as you tighten the fuel cap and check the rubber seal once in a while....and it has to be worn pretty bad before it leaks. I just put my stoves in the back of my Jeep. Standing upright, lying flat doesn't matter. Coleman stoves can take a beating, but give them some...

But living in Europe also has its advantages....you get to find the rare export models.

As a european collector it's even harder to find lanterns at a good price. Have yet to find one in the wild, but have made some really good deals online.

Solar shower will do the trick. If there's no sun you can simply boil some water like Kevin108 does. Did that a few weeks back when our heater broke.

Looks like solar power is a necessity, while the fridge slide only makes it more convenient to get to your food. Solar first!

No, it is painted. They were nickel plated first, but during WWII they had to change to painted founts. Looks like only the first run was painted white. Every white one I've seen dated to the second half of 1941.

That's about right. There's a lot of factors that affect power consumption. I remember reading that Dometic advertised 0.3 to 0.6 amps per hour depending on the set temperature and ambient temperature (CFX 35). Last weekend I had my CFX 35 running off a 75Ah deep-cycle gel battery for 52h. When...

Wow, lucky you. :Wow1:

Look for a 500 single burner. It's much bigger than the later models and has an awesome burner with good flame adjustment....YOU'LL LOVE IT!! The grate is 7" in diameter, so you can even use bigger skillets on it. White one is the 500 model. You'll more likely find it painted green or nickel...

I have the 3.8 engine with a snorkel. The intake temp is about 4-5deg higher than ambient temp when cruising down the autobahn. Never checked temp when in traffic and have no comparisson to what the temp would be without the snorkel.

I use all of those that run. Some are for the outdoors, while the nicer are for use around the house. Have over 30 lanterns and about 20 stoves.

I do have the Frontrunner cargo slide. I've built a box that sits on top of it and rests on the side frames of the slide.

Check out the interior rack from Frontrunner. Might be what you're looking for. But storing a fridge under a shelf/rack only makes sense when you have a fridge slide. JMHO

My Dometic CFX 35 has always done that and it's totally normal. The compressor isn't running all the time, instead it's cycling. It will cool two deg below the set temperature and then the compressor will stop. As soon as the temperature reaches two deg above the set temperature the compressor...
