    My version of a water can electric pump......Now V2

    Maybe I'm a Luddite or someday some one will explain the fascination with electric stuff when camping. I used a push-pull manual pump/faucet for my MWC can. In my blog; Military Water Carrier, MWC, faucet

    Tools you love, cant live without!

    I carried a Leatherman on the job for 20 years they are indeed painful to squeeze when using. I won't use one again if I have the right tool. My most used tool has been a flashlight. I have a mini-mag in a holder strapped to my parking brake lever. My current fav is a Fenix rechargable LED...

    Hex Keys, Ratches, Sockets, Spanners & Wrenches

    Hi Amanda, glad you made this a thread, So I admit right off that my viewpoint maybe different than others and it is; Don't take anything you don't know how to use or are not willing to fix on the trail. I say this because my situation is different, I don't drive a computer driven vehicle, I...

    Hex Keys, Ratches, Sockets, Spanners & Wrenches

    Amanda, I know nothing about this brand, I picked it for the image and fact it has a long lead and comes with a small roll of tape. It's a very simple tool not much to go wrong, I still use the one I bought 15 years ago. Not much in the way of electrical tools that you can't do with a pocket...

    Hex Keys, Ratches, Sockets, Spanners & Wrenches

    Hi, Amanda, A beauty of a camper! I haven't seen it mentioned, so I will; pick up a 12v test lamp for chasing electrical gremlins. You can use a volt meter for various things, a test lamp gives you quick visual knowledge of if there is power or not. With long test leads you can be hooked...

    270° awning; which side?

    I have a 270 and a rear door that opens to passenger side with my spare mounted on it. I have my awning on the drivers side because I don't have to go around the door/tire to get inside.

    Question: Batwing Awning vs. Rear Ladder

    Yeah, methinks they are too flimsy in the search for lightness. I've had to replace 6 hinges and them made some spares out of wood, I'll see how they go when I need to use them.

    Question: Batwing Awning vs. Rear Ladder

    Arne, I have the Rhino on my Series 2. I think it would rest on the ladder. One thing to know about the Rhino awning is how fragile the hinges are. There is a reason they come with spares. Always set the legs down when you open each section and put in the leg stakes right away. A slight breeze...

    Carrying Extra Fuel

    My Land Rover 109 is a diesel, The best place to carry more fuel is, as others have stated in an aux fuel tank. My stock tank carries 13 USgal, my long range aux carries 16 USgal. With 22mpg I can go a long ways..... I do have some NATO cans if I plan longer trips. I picked up these from ...

    Sleeping

    OB Death Valley Trail Guardian Video

    Nice route, Trona, Escape trail which most DV goers miss. Did Miguel drive down Lippencott? Also important did the fence job get finished? The Racetrack must have been flooded in the last rains.
