    Rebuilding Old Coleman Stoves

    I starting using my family's Coleman recently. My father bought it in 1963!!! It had been sitting without being used for about 35-40 years. I rebuilt it using parts from Walmart and lit it up. Works like a charm.

    hard sided pop up camper

    I've been thinking the same thing. Do you mean like a Alaskan, where the top slides down over the bottom half and is raised up when in use?

    Woody's Wagon

    I think it's Titebond, not "titbond". Titbond is used by plastic surgeons. Great build BTW!

    Ice vs dry ice.

    Go here; http://stuffexplained.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/adding_salt_to_ice_in_a_cooler/ If your goal is to keep the beer cold for a long time (ie. if you go camping or on a picnic) it’s still a good idea to add some water and salt to the ice because it will make your beers colder initially...

    Ice vs dry ice.

    I haven't seen anyone post about using "salt-water ice". There are plenty of sites that talk about it including some you-tube videos on the subject. I mixed some plastic bottles up with salt water and froze them for a trip last weekend. They are colder than regular fresh water ice. I had a steak...

    Pickup truck bed tents, anyone use them?

    Here is the clamp situation. The sheetmetal mounting pieces needed to be installed wider than I has able to properly clamp them to the bed rail. I couldn't get a good "bite" on it with the clamp. I've already come up with a simple fix so I'll try again next weekend and probably sleep in it as a...

    Pickup truck bed tents, anyone use them?

    Update: I ordered the tent on Sunday January 5 and it was delivered Friday January 10. Not bad for free shipping. Yesterday I unboxed it and installed it on my full size short bed Ford p/u. It proved to be a PITA for a few reasons as follows: 1. My wife decided to help me install it. 2. The...

    Pickup truck bed tents, anyone use them?

    Thanks for everyone's input. I'll be ordering the Kodiak after the first of the year and using it toward the end of the January for a weekend. I'll take some photos and post up a review after I use it. Now I have to study the cot thread for a place to sleep.

    Pickup truck bed tents, anyone use them?

    Thanks Robert. I have been looking at CL for a used topper but the problem is storage when not in use. My wife drives the truck to work and she doesn't want a topper on it. As far as the rain I was thinking I could pull a tarp over it if needed.

    Pickup truck bed tents, anyone use them?

    I did a search but didn't turn up any previous posts on the topic. I have a pickup and need to camp at a few sporting events by myself so I'm looking at these bed tents. Seems like a good way to stay high and dry on the cheap. Not too worried about the cold as I'll be in Florida. Here are two...

    Hello All. My first post. Here is my simple custom GMC Cube Van conversion.

    How many miles on the truck when you bought it? How many miles have you put on it? What did you pay for it? (if you don't mine me asking) Camping in a tent in the rain really sucks. Being high and dry really is nice. What about a window? I like it. Wish I could sell everything and do it...

    I met a traveling salesman in an Alaskan utility body Ford F-450

    He didn't raise it up for me but he allowed me to peek inside for a quick look. He couldn't say enough good things about it. He takes it into tight downtown traffic and out on the open road of course. Say's it has never let them down. Thought you'll might like to see it.

    I met a traveling salesman in an Alaskan utility body Ford F-450

    The picture on the website showed a Dodge but he said they wore it out and bought a Ford F-450 4x4. The utility body is steel and has has a gerarator in one of the outside compartments. He said there are actually two salesmen that take turns driving it for a month on the road at a time. They...

    I met a traveling salesman in an Alaskan utility body Ford F-450

    I few months ago I was researching some products for work and I came across a company's website that showed that they have a demo trailer which tours the country attending trade shows. I could also schedule it to stop by my office. So I clicked on the link and sure enough it was going to be in...
