Which single burner stoves can be throttled way back to save gas, and not burn food, on a low simmer? I know a diffuser can be placed in between, but that seems like a big waste of propane.... Seems all of them (brands) are proud of how many max BTUs can be pumped out. How well does Partner...

R-16 insulation value from 5 mm of insulation with very thin reflective foil on both sides! Read that again. FIVE mm of insulation gives R-16 value! R-16 ! 5mm equals LESS than a quarter inch! .197" to be more precise. Whatever small space your insulating, don't make it substantially smaller...

On descriptions of freshwater tanks/capabilities, some posters talk about their rigs having X, plus six gallons in the water heater. How available is that? Don't you need water in the FW tank supplying the pump to push it out? I know it could be drained out of the TC, caught, and used if...

What if you need a cooler at the start of an expedition, but don't want it in the way/to store it for the rest of the trip? I have used thick multiple/several layers of towels to store solidly frozen food. The longer you want it to stay cool, the more layers you use when you diaper it with the...

Always interesting to see another informed opinion on what pickup to buy new.....(for when your rich aunt leaves you a $tack. Lol) http://www.kbb.com/car-news/all-the-latest/best-buy-awards-pickup-truck/2000011406/?psid=30009&siomid=outbrain000007 Hey, I just posted it, so don't get your...

$$MONEY$$ ALERT$$$ Get the App on your smart phone (free!) called "Gas Buddy"... yes, "GAS BUDDY"! Yes, I know, but they do diesel, too. You have to be in an area that has cellular data service for it to work, which is pretty common now. I/we just go back from a 5,300 mi round trip to Knoxville...

We ALL know that the weight we haul around seriously impacts efficiency/MPG. Weight hauled is a vicious circle. More weight means heavier duty EVERYTHING (truck wise), which weighs more, so on and so on, ad infinitim..... Yet a lot of the high end manufactures are putting in granite countertops...

I don't know if it is OK here to post a source of good (and organized) information on truck campers and their care, etc...? This will disappear if it is not, I expect... Lol There is good information here for all but the most knowledgeable among us. (Opinion) This site will be old news for...

Well I'm buying a hard-side camper, and selling my pop-up Alaskan Camper when I complete the trim on the newly installed compressor refrig. The wife NEEDS a shower, a larger bed, and hot water, things the Alaskan camper that I own, and like so well, just does not have. Mandatory features. Non...

How about discussing TODAY's new rigs that money can be plunked down on. 3/4t offerings. For fun, let's throw in the anticipated 2016 "improvements".... It looks to me like the big three have all "Upped their game" a lot in real recent time. So, ancient history does not matter here. Yes, all...

http://www.duckworksbbs.com/gear/shower/ Either fill with warm/hot water, or let the sun warm the water. 2.5 gal. Simple. Basic. Affordable. Light weight. Small. Portable. Pressure driven shower. Now all you need is a shower enclosure in your pop top, which is easy enough to cobble together. It...

We have a hard sided TC option, And a pop up TC option..... Shouldn't there be a hard sided pop up option for threads on TCs that qualify? I guess I have an identity crisis.... Lol

Alaskan Campers moving/Relocating? Or? http://www.alaskancamper.com/building.html Anybody know? They have made great/classic campers since the 1950s.

Watch the video on work site medical unit which shows how the unit can be built roll-over resistant. (Notice on that video a picture of the standard built slide in crash results) http://www.tufport.com/utility They might be kinda proud of them, I didn't find a price..... [edit] prices &...

Here is an article that covers various options of properly treating/disposing of human waste in various primitive situations. There is a LOT of good info here. We all need to expend some time and effort to preserve a good "backcountry experience" for others who follow, just like we want those...
