    Thermal or standard fuse for hard-wired fridge power?

    You're partially correct: the fuse also protects the fridge's electronics in the event of reversed polarity. I've hardwired my fridge (MT-43) and installed the glass fuse using an inexpensive fuse holder like this:http://www.bluesea.com/products/5021/Panel_Mount_AGC_MDL_Fuse_Holder Cheap, easy...

    Iris Weathertight storage containers

    I bought one of these at Sportsman's Warehouse/Casper several years ago, and another at Cabela's in Grand Junction two years ago. Certainly not as HD as a Hardigg case, but mine have served me very well, and live under the bed platform in my camper. One holds "dirty" stuff, including spare truck...

    10 liter NATO fuel cans - anybody use 'em?

    I have a couple of these, I use them for fueling my two stroke engines with fuel/oil mix. I rarely need more than a couple gallons in a month and it makes better sense to me than mixing a full 5 gallons or dedicating a 5 gallon can to a fuel I use much less frequently. I'll be buying a couple 5l...

    How Do I Clean Scepter MFC?

    A couple pounds of playground sand and enough water to make a slurry, shake shake shake, then a thorough rinse. If it still isn't out, use peagravel.

    How to fix broken yakima or thule box rack CHEAP!!

    Nicely done. Good to see you repair it and put it back into service rather than throw it out.

    Suspension Airbag Durability?

    I've had a set of Firestone bags on my 1984 Ford F150 for nearly twenty years and well over a hundred thousand miles with no problems except the cheap air brake fittings and lines that came with them. Maybe a year after I installed them, I replaced the lines and fittings and hoses with barb...

    Torque Wrenches- Massive price spectrum, what do I actually need?

    If you're not up to calibrating it yourself, get cozy with your local engine remanufacturing facility, Stewart & Stevenson, or Caterpillar. All three will have someone on site who can do it, often for free if you'll spend the time to get to know the person who does it. I have an antique Snap On...

    Smooth leather desert boots - recommendations?

    I had a pair of these http://www.danner.com/boots/mountain-lightr.html for a little over a year now, and I'm delighted. Looking through the reviews, I nearly didn't buy them for all the whining about the footbed (added a Spenco insole) weight, and the European style tongue. Other than needing to...

    Water cans

    I've cleaned plastic cans of all sorts with soap and water for years, followed by a little lemon juice, let it sit for a couple hours, and then a good rinse.

    Modified Pickup Toolbox

    I bought a Knaack box that fit inside the bed sides for years. It was very handy for camping-I could fit my gear and mattress in it and it kept everything dry and dust free. I sold it many years ago when I started buying slide in campers.
