Windshield Magic. 800-560-8061 Just off the corner of 95 and the first light, on the north side of the interstate. Mmmmmm.... maybe the second light! Anyway, they've been there 16 years so if you can't find it probably anyone in the vicinity can point you to them. Guy that owns it and does all...

Thanks! Anyone know any shops in Parker? I'm trying to get up to Havasu. Mike

My Dodge Cummins 2500 that carries my truck camper has developed a bad rear axle seal leak and is slinging 90W pretty bad. Probably needs a new bearing as well as the seal. Anyone know of a reputable shop in the area that I could limp it into? I'm out in the desert about halfway between Parker...

Basically, but personally I'd get a longer cable, at least 1 meter long. That way you could wrap it around something and tie strap it. Then, even if the antenna cable gets yanked hard, it won't affect the booster. I didn't notice on the cable you posted, but I'd definitely make sure and get a...

Just a heads up on this setup: I have had the same antenna rig for just under a year, and love it, BUT..... be aware, the very stiff, thick low noise cable, in combination with the adapters causes strain at the booster's antenna connection and can eventually cause the connector on the Wilson...

Lot's of good info and ideas here guys! I appreciate it! I think I'm going to go ahead and add the computer and radios to the mix first and just see what happens. If I start pulling it down to 60% or lower and can't get 100% charge daily, then I'll decide on battery options. The main reason I...

I currently have a 108 AH SunExtender AGM (Concorde?) It's been online for about 2 years and has never been discharged below 80% capacity. Always charged to 100% by noon the next day. I've heard over and over again that you should always pair batteries of the same age and never add a brand new...

Google "LeSharo engine swap." Quite a project, but the one I saw was very nice and had some power compared to stock.

When I first started shopping around for a rig I was considering a Sprinter. I was warned off by a good friend who is a fleet mechanic. He has about every certification a mechanic can get and about 30 years experience to go with it, so I trust his opinion in all things vehicle related. He gets...

I'm LMAO here visualizing that! Hey! Come on down to Lake Havasu. Bring your tennis racket. I'll make as much coffee as it takes to get the job done!

I was talking with a woman who grew up on and had worked ranches her entire life. Very soft spoken, pleasant grandmotherly type. The subject of rats and mice in our vehicles came up. She told me that for decades she had trapped them using a 5 gallon bucket with a few inches of peanut oil in...

I have a friend whose little dog goes absolutely nuts on mice in his trailer. I think I need to make an appointment!

So what do you do when mice take up residence in your rig? I haven't found anything that works very well. Seems like everyone I know is plagued with mice and packrats right now. Parking in the same place for any length of time seems to be asking for it.  There's mouse turds under the hood and...

I'd buy another ARB. Mine's been great. I was actually contemplating buying the smaller one to use as a dedicated freezer, but I'm pretty much out of room in this camper! Maybe for the next rig.

I always go around Albuquerque rather than through it! Takes a little longer, but it keeps my blood pressure down.
