The small Honda generators are pretty quiet on eco mode. I can hear it inside the vehicle, but its a low hum more than anything. Some people almost get completely by me vehicle in a parking lot and sort of realize theres and out of place sound, then look around and figure it out, this is all...

I used to sleep with the back of my pickup open, and used to sleep out under the stars a lot on a tarp on the ground. Yes, a dog lets you know if anything or one comes around. It was mostly curious coyotes, theyd walk around a little ways out, trying to figure out what we were or what we were...

I never had anyone get too close for long when I had my pups in the vehicle. They watched for me and if anyone came close theyd jump up to the window to see who it was, greatly startling several people that I saw, and no doubt others I didnt. They werent acting aggressive, just very curious, and...

What do you want to use it for? A telescope suitable for semi-serious stargazing is a different animal than one you want to use to look at stuff on the ground. I like a decent spotting scope for ground based things, but have no real need for a stargazing telescope. I used a spotting scope on...

I didnt know aftermarket systems were available, Id consider getting a trailer set up. My 05 4runner has it, it currently has a bad sensor in the spare I believe, and reminds me to check it if it stays on full time. When its at full pressure it flashes, when it gets low it stays on. I think its...

Welcome, I'm envious of your plan, I hope to be able to do similar before too long. Ill probably have a cargo trailer camper for my sidecar rig, but winters in Arizona have been on my planning radar for some time.

I have a sewing question. I have a 1952 Singer 15-91, the info Ive found indicates its a pretty heavy duty machine for a basic non-commercial machine, its capable of sewing heavy materials and lighter grades of leather. I tried some heavy duty button and carpet thread, it ran fine in the top...

The weight distribution or load balance plays a significant part in towing safety. That vehicle may well have been adequate to tow that trailer, (no way to know without knowledge of the vehicle and trailer specs), but even being within acceptable specs, a poorly loaded trailer can completely...

I believe this is the area Ara Gureghian lived in the winter when he was nomadding around with his dog Spirit with the motorcycle and sidecar rig. I think he had a conex box there, and stayed in a tent part of the time, and maybe a camper or motor home part time, Im not sure. He had health...

A search didnt turn up any recent info on security cameras and their use in campers. Does anyone have relatively up to date info on decent security cameras and pros and cons of them for camp use? The Blink looks like it has some potential, but needs cloud to work I believe, and internet. Im...

I suspect you will be happier overall, and less troublesome to decide on a point in an outside window or wall you can install it so it operates more normally regarding heat dump and water draining. I use one in the right rear side window of my 4runner with a generator in the rear cargo box. It...

I miss mine terribly. The only way I get past it is to get another good dog. Theres vast numbers of good dogs needing a good person. I tell people my superpower is being able to save the world, but I can only do it one or two dogs at a time. I lost my last dog a couple weeks ago. I had her...

With a PO box, keep in mind you can sign up for informed delivery where you get a scan image of everything thats delivered to your box. Its nice to stay up to date on what mail has actually been delivered to the box or other address so you can get the things most important as soon as possible...

I cant imagine 1/2" not being enough on a vehicle floor. If theres any noticeable flex from a concentrated weight point you can run the strength axis cross ways instead of length ways in the vehicle, in other words, the greatest resistance to flex in plywood and OSB is with the piece going long...

Yes, footman loops are good items when made of good material. They are used quite a bit on motorcycles to give attachment points on top of saddlebags and top boxes and other points. I have some to attach things to the sidecar body. The common hardware store eye bolts are pretty soft, like grade...

No, you cant lean in the twisties. They drive and handle completely different than a bike. After considering all the options, I chose a sidecar over a trike for many reasons. Cargo capacity, dog/human passenger capacity, history, fun and cool factors (completely subjective) But trikes dont lean...

When going conservative on water I washed my hair with water heated in pots on the stove, about 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 qts, and sort of sponge bath for the body. I didnt have a shower other than in the motor home. Need to work on this before I start the seasonal migration routine.

Indeed. Thats part of why I got the sidecar, though being able to take the dog was also a significant factor, and all the junk you can take in a sidecar....

It already makes a cool sound, so thats covered. Its going to be my camp area tool-around machine, short trips to town, and dirt road exploring machine. Same general concept as the thread topic, just a little different than some approach the subject.
