Tried to get a response out of fireside chat gave up. I'm interested in seeing opinions before doing a post on the for sale side. I live in Juneau, AK own a 06 SLT Cummins long bed 2500 4x4 automatic wind up windows and no electric seats with 50,000 miles(kept this truck simple as Alaska and...

I was in J-Tree/29 Palms area for 10 days in Jan. Ran into a guy and his wife that was a Rescue Swimmer for the Canadian Coast Guard. They were driving a Fuso mini van 4x4 that is imported into Canada once it's hit the 15 year mark. This was their third one. They love them and from what I could...

OK this camper has been gone over and then again with fixes here and there to make it a nice lightweight cab over camper. I installed a new PD9130 - 30 Amp Electronic Power Converter, new Hijacker hydraulic jacks(the kind you pump with your arm, also we installed a new escape pod last spring...

Anyone have any intel on these campers? Livin lite camp lite slide in campers. I see a few dealers scattered here & there but so far haven't see one on the road. I put in 8K miles this year & never saw one. http://www.livinlite.com/truck-campers.php The other camper I'm curious about is the...

We recently bought a 2005 Rav 4 with 15000 miles. I'm slowly going thru the rig changing this and that to make sure it's all up to snuff. The PVC or ventilation valve (threaded BTW) location has me stumped. I've googled it, I've had my big Finn head stuck about anywhere it can fit looking for...

Progressive Dynamics Converter 4600 series 35 amp to replace the original inverter which was 20 amps, plus this one will allow us to still use our small 1000 watt Yamaha generator. Removing the old and replacing the new was a no brainer PLUS a new DC fuse board which I also installed as it has...

I have a 2006 5.9 2500 4x4 Dodge Truck that needs to differential lube change. I was very surprised to see that there's no drain on the front or rear like my Toyota. Therefore I'm going to replace them. Any opinions on the Mag-Hytec or the PLM covers? I don't have an opinion one way or the other...

I am looking at these critters and wondering all kinds of things. I've never owned a bike like this so I'd like some opinions. I've always owned HDs. One piston or two pistons is something I've never considered as the HDs were twins and all my 4 wheelers were single, so in a sport bike what do...

I am looking at several drawing I've made that I want to eventually manufacture into steps for our truck and camper. I want these steps to hitch and unhitch from the receiver. One design I made would definitely need to be removed before driving, the other I could leave on but would need a small...

Anyone have experience with LED off road lights? I've been looking at 10" SR-Series Hybrid LED Light bar from Rigid Industries LED Lighting. I would like to mount it to my Ranchhand bumper that's on my 2006 Cummins Dodge. Not much draw on the electrical system, life of product seems to be...

Last year was our first year to use any camper, so we were busy fixing things here& there knowing other items would pop up as we used the camper. Our hot water smelled last year, so I bought some RV water treatment ran it through the system, fired up the hot water heater etc. Well the hot water...

What do I ask for at a RV supply store to isolate my truck batteries from my camper battery. I accidentally left a light on in the camper & drained the camper and both truck batteries. My neighbor told me to get this installed a year ago but foolish me I had to drag my feet and now I'm busy...

I am at a loss for an answer. I've read, gone on line etc., but found nothing to help. My shop manual says 1.2 quarts of lube oil for the fill, BUT the same book says fill until you can feel the oil below the fill plug. OK so I pumped in way over the 1.2 quarts and still don't feel the oil...

OK so I am flushing out the water system getting it set for summer camping etc. and notice that the kitchen faucet is leaking some where under the fake plastic chrome cover. I removed everything took the faucet out and what a surprise I had. The bloody thing is all take apart 9 O rings in all...

I own a 1999 4X4 Tacoma, 3.4 liter engine, 5 sp manual transmission, manual shift on the transfer case no electronic switch, extended cab, with the TRD package and it has differential lock out switch on the dash to use in extreme situations (I've never had to use this to tell you the truth but...

We've been having a discussion on the hardside section about mpg etc. I know many of the hardsides are HEAVY and milage is cut by weight, but I'd like to hear about air resistance of a hardside vs pop-up and mpg. There are a pile of other variables to consider also on milage probably driver...

Was doing oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter and greasing the 3 fitting on my stock 06. I'd plugged in the block heater in case I needed to move the truck b/4 starting work. Crawled under found reddish liquid in ground, bell housing and farther up on passenger side of engine. Looked it...

I posted part of this in Hardside campers, but figured I should post here instead. We have lived our lives on adventures, most were never planned but just started and led to epics & fun with a little pucker factor thrown in. The start of the summer led me to drive from eastern WA to...
