    and Evergreen Aviation & Space (McMinnville, OR) — Ray

    We left Saturday morning after a great tour of the museum on Friday. Wish it was open Saturday because its a large place with lots to see. They celebrated Spruce Goose 75th Anniversary earlier that week.
  • Repairing Older 2000W Champion Generator with Carburetor Issues
    I don't use my generator much so I use Aspen fuel.
  • 30 Amp RV Power Transfer Switch Installation
    I wonder why it broke like that — Ray

    Hope your able to figure out how — Bill Illman

    I Broke the flimsy propane clamp and with the already low axle travel distance (pipe installed above axle u-bolt)... my axle u-bolt hit the pipe. I had the dealer change the copper and the way it was installed. Known problem on the Forest River Forum.
    Since I run the inverter for the fridge I check the pipe before I turn on the propane.
  • 30 Amp RV Power Transfer Switch Installation
    We also installed a transfer switch for the fridge while traveling long hours. I don't travel with propane on and it's a good thing because we already broke the propane line under our 2019 trailer.
    I installed the WFCO T-30 transfer switch to the panel.

  • pickup running lights and trailer
    why would you want the trailer lights on during the day? — Nitehawk
    A lot of people have side and/or rear cameras that they use while driving or use to record like a dash cam. The cameras get their power from the trailer lights.
  • pickup running lights and trailer
    The trailer lights and rear 2017 Ram 3500 truck lights will not turn on with just Daytime Running Lights. I just turn on the lights in the truck.

    The current thermostat has only 3 wires red, white, orange. The red is probably 12+ — Randy Williamson

  • Starlink Satellite Dish Internet
    Mobile Internet Resource has a video update about changing your address. Couple con's to think about before you change your address.
  • Tow Vehicle Hitch Setup
    Not sure about the 2500 but when I went to a new ram I replaced my weight distribution shank from a 2" to a 2.5". I didn't want to use the adapter because i knew i would lose it one day and it felt like it had extra play in it.
  • New Generator Not just for home backup anymore.
    I don't use my generator much so i just use Aspen fuel.
  • What are your plans if we cannot head south this fall?
    We canceled our Sturgis trip this year. It would of been the first year towing them so maybe it was a sign to keep riding :)
    The RV site is still open but ill take the loss and stay away from the border.

  • Starting new solar system
    I am going to reconfigure these cells for a 24v battery bank this time. That will make this a 300ah battery 24v — Greg F
    Very nice setup. Wish i had that much room.

    We are tentatively planning a trip to South Dakota this summer to look at properties in the Custer area. — Greg F
    We booked a spot at Crooked Creek Resort near Hill City but don't think we will be crossing the border in Aug.
  • Los Algodones, Mexico
    You shake your head when you see a rats nest of wires and then you see them doing maintenance or just call it "just adding more wires"

    I took this picture of pole maintenance in Mumbai.

  • Haulgauge
    I used it a couple times with no problems. I used the payload for carrying dirt and the tongue weight when working on my buddy's boat trailer. He later was able to get a scale and said we were very close in the tongue weight.

    Some info on it...
  • Ford Tailgate recall
    Had my 17 Ram in for a tailgate recall. When you start driving the auto lock may over-travel and open your tailgate.

  • Over charge batteries?
    I am very happy with my Victron battery monitor. — Logan X
    I'm happy with mine but installed my display in a not so visible place (easiest) and I use the bluetooth. If on a budget I use a cheap Chinese monitor on my boat and it gives me all the basic info i need.

    Saw one on Will Prowse channel

    "I'll lay the ipad down there" You'll be fined and fines are just the upfront cost. I believe we also get points so when you renew your license you'll pay for them too. It must be attached and hands free only...from what i understand.
