    Slide in for sale

    just checked, ad was owner removed. Looks like it sold quick. I called about an 84 slide in for $1250, and the guy wouldnt even think of selling it to me because my truck is an 04. He said older truck beds were wider and the camper needed 63" between the bed rails. Sure nuff, measured mine and i...

    Dad may be moving into an RV

    sooooo, it was the HEAT TAPE at fault, not the improper installation by teenagers? Foam pipe wrap does not generate heat , only helps to retain it. It also keeps the cold in, keeping your pipes frozen longer when they do freeze. Hay bales have been used for decades as insulation around...

    Heat propagation of catalytic heaters

    As close to the floor as you can get it is the place to mount it. Heat will always rise, and you need a fan to push it down towards the floor. Mount the heater low and the fan high. For most effective heating and distribution.

    High top vs normal top - Would you do it over?

    Dad may be moving into an RV

    the hay bales and plastic sheeting, along with heat tape or heat lamps would be the way to go. However, starecho is also right to a certian degree. The frostline ( how deep the ground freezes) in upstate Ny where i lived was 4 feet, quite a deep hole, and most people had 7' or 8' basements under...

    Heater Choices for van - Need your opinion, please

    I personally have 2 of the regular Mr Buddy heaters, one in my bus and one in my 14' travel trailer. Both are connected to 20 lb tanks in one way or another. Last week my always cold wife and I camped for 4 days in the mountains of N Georgia, with the overnight temps in the low-mid 20's. On low...
