    Replacing batteries with battery station?

    Hi all, So, it’s closing in on time to replace the two 100ah AGM batteries in our camper. I’m going to replace with lifepo batteries (or battery). The current configuration would allow fitting a single 200ah battery, which would save weight. My actual question is this, would it make sense (or...

    Black Series fire hazard

    I haven’t read any Mantis axle reports, so I was unaware of that. I do think Taxa is on the cusp of pricing themselves out of the market - even without the quality control issues.

The “issue” was the ride height of the trailer dropping as much as 3 inches over the first few months of ownership. Lippert and Taxa have been working together to replace all the impacted axle units. Was pretty...

    New to us Tigermoth

    ALL Taxa models have absurdly thin/hard “pads”. I can’t imagine trying to sleep on the ones in our Cricket. We have 4in memory foam folding mattresses on ours.

    Snow peak baja burner on propane tank. Anyone done this yet?

    I can’t speak for the OP, but I use a copy of that adapter with my Jetboil when camper camping. It works with zero issues. Since SnowPeak uses the same type canister, I can’t imagine that it wouldn’t work. I’m fantasizing about building a SnowPeak IGT system using a pair of Bajas for cooking.

    Switching my life to "not Jeans". Can I get some recomendations for good NON JEANS

I have Craghoppers, Mountain Hardware, Columbia, Arc’teryx, Salomon, Prana, and some winter climbing specific pants. I have very few cotton shirts, and those are primarily t-shirts from...
