Cool that you guys met like that! That is really impressive that you not only recognized each other, but remembered what each other looked like from a picture. Not usually an easy thing to do!

<div><br></div><div>AC travels way better than DC power. In other words, mount your inverter as close to the 12v source as possible with the best cabling you can. My Prosine 2.5 is mounted 4 feet from the battery bank with 2/0 Gauge welding cable. From there, the AC power is distributed...

Another great thing we found out at least for the Olympic National Park is that in the park (not including ocean beaches) there is no requirement for a state fishing license. Not sure which other National Parks this includes.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>Pretty cool though that the pass gets you in...

<div><br></div><div>Nice man!&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I will probably keep our 500 cruiser, but I do want to get another rig more along these lines too. Probably a Benelli M4 though. Love them! Still have to get an AR first too. I may need to get a bigger van after...

While everyone is listing wise things to remember, JHP for populated areas, FMJ for woods walking <img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp;<div><br></div><div><br></div>

All of what PM said.... &nbsp;<div><br></div><div>Very well I might add!</div><div><br></div><div>I will point out that the tragedy of the ranger being shot was in Washington State, not Oregon though.&nbsp;</div>

<div><br></div><div>Hey Butterfly, sorry for the delayed response, haven't been online as much lately. The air quality is really down for the whole valley. It has a lot to do with Mexicali, right on the other side of the border, which has a lot of poorly/not regulated industrial pollution that...

Agree with you Johnny! I really enjoy prospecting nowdays. I do it a lot different than I used to! I have worked with friends in the past and gone the power dredging route, highbankers and moving a lot more material. Yeah, you find more gold, but it wasn't as enjoyable to me rather felt more...

Make sure you keep a $5 "water thief" with you if you need a hose to fill your tanks. Especially in California. We found most places there had non-threaded faucets at rest areas etc to keep RV's from filling the tanks easily. The water thief slides over that and you tighten the clamp, it then...

Really depends on where you are in the country. I have done pretty well on the Arkasas River near Buena Vista Co. Didn't stay long, but I do believe a person could do pretty well there if they put some decent effort into it. Probably the best area I have been in is in lower Oregon/upper...

Completely agree with that <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp;

Of course that B is the same basic design as Taj, same model even. I am 6' and sleep fine across the back. Heidi is like 5'4" so she has more room. I couldn't handle having that extension up the isle, it would interfere with where the bathroom is and we usually end up using it during the night...

Many times, car washes recycle their own water since they utilize so much of it especially if they have to pay the city for it . I would never risk drinking it. You may be ingesting detergents etc.&nbsp;

No big surprise here I am sure, but I am going to go different with my suggestions than others. As Jerry said, carpet holds dirt. It is very difficult to keep a van interior free of dirt on a daily basis and it accumulates and gets under the carpet.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>I personally will...

I have to disagree with that adamlee. We have had both for years and the microwave requires less amperage from our battery bank than the convection toaster oven. 84 to 86 amps from the microwave in use, 104-106 from the oven. Both work well for their purpose. I have a remote readout panel I...

Congrats Meg! This has been a long time coming huh! <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> To remove the grease you could go with "simple green". &nbsp;It does a pretty decent job and isn't too nasty to work with. Looks like Yeti is a pretty big rig, lots of...

Honey and apple cider vinegar is good at cutting congestion etc if you drink it. I have heard of people using neti pots with saline sollution (pickling salt and distilled water .28 grams per ml will make 7%) Not sure what percent you want for the neti pot use though. 7% is what I use for the...

It is pretty interesting. Well worth checking out for the experience even if you don't stay for long. There are tons of pics online that google will find easily and give you some good ideas of some of the areas at least. When Heidi and I were there with Bob &amp; Katie &amp; others, we had a...

Hey Roniit, That's a great looking van to start with! As others have said, so many possibilities <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> Should be a lot of fun to design and build!<div><br></div><div>What Seraphim was saying is a good point. If this vehicle is...

<div><br></div><div>Hey sweet Vickie, you are absolutely right on the electric heater for the most part though I have recently seen a few that might work in some very specific cases.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>The microwave and toaster oven though are very possible on a decent sized battery...
