    jdexplor One more thing to keep in mind is the battery. My trailer came with a battery, but, the dealer installed a type 24, 12V- 50AH battery. I had them switch it out for a type 27, 12V- 105AH battery. I am considering adding a tongue box so I can mount, and lock, two batteries inside. I am...

    R-pod Full Time Living

    Wheelbase on the Canyon is 127 inches. Star Craft is owned by Jayco, and the Hummingbird and Satellite are the same design; only minor differences in the equipment. Mine did not come with a fan in the vent. I changed the vent to a Fantastic Vent with three speed fan and thermostat control. A fan...

    R-pod Full Time Living

    I bought a Star Craft Satellite 17RB with the extreme package. This is a well equipped trailer with dry bath, kitchen, queen bed, small dinette, furnace, AC, fridge, water heater, etc. Good for a couple, or single person like myself. Gross weight is around 3900 lbs. which my 2015 Canyon can...

    SoCal Overlanders Roll Call :)

    Hi, Cliff here. I am planning to go up to the Lone Pine, Bishop area this weekend. Probably leaving Friday morning. Anyone interested in going with, or meeting up there? I will be boondocking for several days; no real plans, might be gone all week.

    Need campsite ideas on the north rim of the Grand Canyon

    Do as the Ranger said. The Forest Service roads are great for going into the forest, and finding camping spots. I was just there (right after the Expo) and you won't have any problems with your vehicles. Start by going on the 22. It is a main FS road and goes a long ways; all the way from the 67...

    DIY Hi Lift Mounts-advice please?

    The attachment, as I have it, is simple. There is the U-bolt at the top, and a half round clamp plate at the bottom of each bracket. Obviously I have a rack with round bars top and bottom which is ideal for these brackets. The brackets have several bolt hole patterns to fit various rack styles...

    DIY Hi Lift Mounts-advice please?

    Here are photos of the brackets attached to the Rack, and with the Jack and full size shovel attached. Notice that the Jack is bolted to the rear bracket with a 1/2" bolt. Also, I use a security cable, and padlock, wrapped around and through the Jack and Rack for both theft deterrent and...

    Monarchs Meadows trip has been postponed due to snow and damage to the Monache trail. So the 9th is good for me now. Has a place and time been set? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using OB Talk mobile app

    2015 Chevy Colorado - Project RadRunner

    What are they doing with the fenders? Are they modeling the flares and then using the model to produce a layup mold for making fiberglass fenders? That is pretty cool.

    Instead, why don't you start a "Conversation" here on OB. Just go to the "Map" page and click on "Start a Conversation" and invite those that you want to communicate with. Works good.
