    Goodyear Silent Armor w/Kevlar

    I am on my second set. I find them very quiet on the highway and excellent off road, especially in snow and ice in the Sierra. I think they may be the best nonstudded snow tire I have used.

    Brand New Truck Campers and Loving It! Part 2: Porpoising and Camper Stability

    Two things will fix the porpoising- Rancho 9000 shocks all the way around, and seeing a podiatrist about your lead foot. You may even experience another benefit- improved mpg. I have a much heavier Lance and do not have a problem with the porpoising.

I have not heard of a Torklift owner changing out for happi jac, but i sure have read about Happijac owners upgrading to Torklift. If you need a hitch extension the Torklift system makes even more sense since...

    Arctic Fox 2006 860 Silver slid out: I pick next week, What do I need to know?

    Start with Ranco 9000 all the way around. If you have overload springs add Stableloads because they are cheap and easy to install. Then decide after a few trips if you need airbags, since they cost more and are more of a PIA to install.

    12V Socket for Fridges: clever ones?

    I have used Rig Rite connectors for a variety of 12v applications. Made for trolling motors they are very durable, weather proof and heavy duty. available at iboat. I have 2 charging ports in my off road trailer for deep cycle batteries, and the plugs never vibrate loose.

    Reality check for diesel-systemed truck camper

    Why not try out a camper with the factory supplied propane appliances for a season before getting too committed to the diesel solution? You may find that you get past your fears with a little experience. In my Lance camper, I find the propane fridge to be very efficient and the furnace to be...
