    New Project Doubled Battery Bank

    My first thought about the shadow on the panels is make another set of brackets for them that raises the whole panel 4~6".

    New member and RV owner

    Welcome to the forum. On my 2000 Winnie Chalet the low point drain valves are behind the kick panel, under the shower basin. I have to remove the kick panel with a screwdriver to get to them. The fresh water drain valve is under the bed, close to the water pump. It's a lot easier to reach. The...

    RV gps tracker location

    RV dealers are probably selling the same system that my motorcycle dealer is pushing. When I bought my Suzuki Burgman I also got the FIN GPS tracking system. $1000 up front, and $75 a year service fee. Basically, the company took the hardware from a smart phone (battery, GPS, motion sensors...

    California

    While California may be the largest, a story I read says that Washington D.C. has the highest percentage of crazy.

    Personal travel information on the internet

    One day I got tired of all the adds about stuff I had already bought, or was just thinking about once. So I (mid 50's single male) Googled women's underwear. Now instead of a bunch of useless stuff clogging up my web pages, I have cute scantily clad ladies sprinkled all over my screen...

    Leveling blocks/chocks

    With long enough bolts this also keeps the boards from moving along the ground.

    Please help auxiliary start!

    The aux starting switch is just built in jumper cables from the house batteries to the chassis battery. It is just like using jumpers from another vehicle. All of the techniques still apply. If the chassis battery is shorted you will not get enough power to start the engine. It will pull the...

    Installed a Deer Deflector on our Class C

    <Hmmm> You've given me something else to think about with my situation. I have enough CCC left over to haul my new 450 lbs motorcycle on the rear rack, but it shifts a lot of weight from the front axle to the rear. I'm looking for ways to put about 150~200 lbs back on the front to keep the...

    I live most of the time in A State of Confusion. Haven't found anyone yet that will recognize the drivers license.

    Help me cook! :) Share those meals ideas

    I definitely agree on the Dutch Oven. I have 3. You can bake, stew, fry, boil, just about anything. For breakfast I like just boiling some water and using zippered sandwich bags to make omelets. The basic size bag will hold enough for a 3 egg omelet. I've put a whole chicken and some veggies...

    Anybody drive a class C and tow a camper trailer behind you?

    I've been looking at enclosed cargo trailers for behind my Class C. With a good 5x8 I could remove the motorcycle rack and just haul the trailer with the bike and lots of other stuff. Like having a storage shed on wheels. Most of my cast iron cooking gear, firepit tripod, etc. would get...

    Boondocking in a TT

    Well you just don't tell anyone that it's on the vehicle until after you recover it. Maybe not even then. I have GPS tracking on my new scooter. There is no sticker or sign that it is there. And I have no idea where the dealer stashed it on the cycle. No thief would know to block the signal...
