One of my winter projects is to install sound deadening floor matting. I’ll be removing everything and applying direct to the steel floor. I see there are products to do this. What is your experience and/or recommendations? ( no spray on bed liners ) Thanks in advance

Hey all, we are currently in South Carolina and going to head due north up along the PeeDee into Uwarrie, then up to and through Pisgah NF connecting to the Byway. if you all trust me, PM me about anywhere we can disperse camp. thanks !!

Sorry to bore everyone, once in a while I just gotta write, it clears my mind. Be sure to watch my vid though, kinda cool. I ordered this RTT way back in October of 2020, direct from Thule. Thule promised that a container was on its way to the states and would arrive the 1st of...

On a recent trip the family used our brand new Midland GMRS hand held radios. 2 things I noticed that I didn't care for. When they say "line of sight" they mean it. As we were traversing around buttes, boulders, dipping into swales, washouts, and other natural occurrences, contact was...

Just arrived in St George, Ut this evening and need a welder to weld up the lunett ring on my trailer in the AM. Quick job, maybe 15 minutes.. any references would be great- thanks

OK, we have dual batteries, 220 watts of solar, a fridge, a dedicated freezer, running water, rear deck kitchen with drawers, tupperware tub, and an old Coleman stove, hot shower, RTT on trailer, plenty of room for food, gas and water to disappear for 400 miles or 5 days, (whichever comes...

I just read about yet another chip that claims to save 15% in MPG or more. Add horsepower and torque. Just plug it in to your obd port and go. Scam or not? Remember the Tornado? Big scam. I’m thinking this is too. Anyone tried it?

After using my Landcruiser for a daily driver I finally saw the light, and bought a 1990 Ford Ranger. 61,000 miles, no rust, new rubber everywhere. I mean everywhere, bed mounts, cab mounts, rear bushings, front bushings, door seals, rear & front window seals, under the hood, etc etc.. The...

One thing for sure, our 15 year old Carry On trailer was due for a rebuild. I've always known that these trailers were designed for very light duty and I'm surprised than the frame on mine, ( puny little thin walled 2x2 angle) didn't crack or bend years ago. The axle and springs were upgraded...

There is not much that gives my wife and I greater pleasure than to stumble upon an unknown and perfect campsite, to find incredible scenic vistas, or to traverse remote and beautiful trails, using paper maps, a compass and dead reckoning. Do we use apps when on the interstates or paved roads...

This may be the wrong place for this post but, here goes. 11 years ago I began my trailer build and instead of incorporating a 12v water pump to deliver water to our kitchen, I decided upon a 110v aquarium pump. I got the cheapest, lowest volume pump I could find and it cost 50 or 60 bucks. (It...

The trailer is a very modified 4'x6' Tractor Supply Carry-On That is 24” off the ground. The sides are 25” high. The rack is being built/mounted upon a beefed up subframe ( 2x2 ) 17”s above the topsides for access, which would be 42" uprights. (2x2) This gives us a rack height of 66”s from the...

When we are out, we keep our food simple. Supper would be, steaks, chops, chicken, or salmon, along with vegetables. Cooked on the Coleman, Volcano Grill, or open fire. Sometimes a pork roast. Breakfast much the same simplicity. Baked oatmeal or eggs and sausage. Last trip out we were with...

This last tour I ended up falling and fracturing a rib in the first week of our 4 week trip. Even though my wife did most of the work, packing up and then setting up camp became a painful chore. When we were younger we could pack everything up and be rolling within an hour. Set up about the...

Has anyone on here been on the Rim Rocker Trail? I’ve found quite a bit of info on the web site. Our primary concern would be snowfall averages during the first week of Oct. thanks for any info.

I’m in need of Medical Evac Insurance. I see quite a few insurance companies on line but none seem to specifically state that the insurance would cover a wilderness extraction. Recommendations? Thanks in advance

We are going to be wandering around in the San Rafael Swell for 7 nights beginning Oct 7th thru the 14th or so. After that? The Staircase, Valley of the Gods? Eventually we’ll make our way across the Rim Rocker. Y’all know my vehicle, my BIL will be in his blue Chevy Colorado. If ya spot us...

My duralast platinum battery is 6 years old and has done quite well. However, it is down to less than 80% capacity ( it'll only charge up to 12.5 volts or so ) Before we head out again it's time for a new battery. I run a dual system and the house battery, an Optima M series, is less than a...

I’m looking at a pair of Scheel-Mann seats as the next major upgrade for our 80 series. I’ve read a few positive reviews written by professionals, but I haven’t found a regular guy or gal that rides on them. $4,000 is a lot of coin for seats and I’d hate to suffer from buyers remorse. If you...

Good morning, A couple years ago ASPW introduced his viewers to a fold out shower room attatched to the roof racks, mounted in the same manner as an awning. My wife and I both thought it to be a great idea and looked forward to them being imported to the US, however, not a $500 plus shipping...
