    Norcold fridge goes out when windy

    I have a AF Camper with a Norcold fridge and the sheet metal box around the flame is really good at shielding the flame. We just did a trip and drove  home in 30 plus winds blowing to that side of of camper and everything was fine, maybe something with your flame enclosure,,,gregg

    Camping in Oregon

    Love Oregon, we fish it regularly and now plan on moving to Southern Oregon. My son ano one of our daughters have already move there. Oregon politics are eating their own, they have way more problems then the out of state campers. As already stated, this horse has been beat on this board and...

    Lance Camper?

    No jacks, that's a big deal and it looks to be damaged on the rear costner wear a Jack mounts, with some kind of sub par repair. Realistically a newer year truck camper less issues, band aid repairs can be a rabbit hole you don't want to go down,,,gregg

    Be Bear Aware

    40,000, that's a crock of BS. Stop spreading fake news. I ran Hounds on Bear and Lion for 25 years here in Northern Ca. and Southern Oregon. Killed many many Bear over the years, I can guarantee they will give Humans a wide berth in a natural setting. A Sow with cubs very close by will be the...

    Jeep CJ/TJ/YJ Insights?

    Bought my first Jeep Tj this year, a2006, last year of the tj. I wanted a toad for trips when we don't take the boat. I researched tj s a little and decided on a 2005-06 with the lowest miles I could find. I welded up my own tow bar, it connects to the Welded D rings on the after market bumper...

    Front Left Caliper locked up?

    Repeated Heat build up cooks the seals, old fluid needs to be replaced. Calipers are cheap, replace them, the lines are likely good,,,gregg

    truck for towing.

    No opinion on a new truck, other then just go with a 3/4 ton with tow package, the right axle ratio. I have owned the gm's 5.3 engine. They only achieved a better hp specs by moving the the torque band in to higher rpms vs the 5.7 with its torque lower rpms then the 5.3. The 5.3 is great in a...

    rv vibrating after new tires were put on.

    Nope, don't need headaches from tires. That's why I'm dumping Cooper's. Plus I'm only getting around 30k miles out of a set. I have them rotated every 4k miles with my oil change. The wear is even, I don't know what happened, things wear fine until this last rotation. I trust the shop, I've been...

    rv vibrating after new tires were put on.

    I have beads on my 1 ton this last round of tires. They're 12.50 x 34" with aggressive tread on after market alloy rims. Big O had to go with beads because the rims edge don't have a configuration for much weight. When the tires were new, balancing wasn't a issue,  or was the first set of the...

    Switching to a Trailer

    you may have to go north into Oregon. Ca. used rv selection is pretty pathetic. Even two years ago when I bought our Camper, I had to drive up to Spokane for the one I wanted. You may find the one you like here, but it may take awhile. There is way more inventory Eugene and North. Also, if your...

    Hey Brotha, so funny to run into you here. You going to start leap froggin everything to the coast come crab season? I get it though, a motorhome or truck camper sorta pins a guy down, having a freed up vehicle is why we got our TJ Wrangler as a toad for trips we don't bring the boat. See you...
