    Battery storage

    well I ran out of enough money to feel comfortable and the sheds dried up so I'm back home to work until next spring.  I think took me 3 weeks to finally begin breaking down the rig setup. I have two options for battery storage; basement that lets in moisture like it's its job, or the attic...

    Blown laptop charger fuse

    Long story short, I went to plug my laptop charger in and it didn't work.  Pulled the cap thing off to find there's a fuse on the inside that's blown.  Said fuse appears to be sautered onto the wire and metal piece that sticks out the top.   Contemplated trying to remove the fuse but resisted...

    I-5 winter driving

    Ive got some friends that just bought a boat in Washington and I'm really considering going up there for a month or two, I'm just hesitant of the higher elevation areas that may be icy and a bad recipe for hauling a trailer. Anyone have experience with winter driving it?

    Diesel Truck

    My 1/2 can manage my camper right now, but I just found out my dads getting a new fifth wheel and giving me his.  Huge upgrade, big slide out and so much more space than my current 21 footer but it's 25 feet and 7k roughly so I have to get a new ( to me) truck to do anything with that camper...

    Meeting up

    So from what I've read there's normally quite a few groups that meet up before and after the RTR in Quartzsite, and I'm wondering of any of the groups are anywhere near Sedona yet?  I think I'm ready to meet up with people of the 'tribe' now, plus 6 months of solitude and no real conversations...

    Dogs in snake country

    Well this is the first time in my life I've been in an area (with my dog along) that has poisonous snakes.  He's a hound beagle mix so he sticks his nose into everything that might have some interesting smells, which obviously can be problematic. What have you guys done to prevent snake/dog...

    Soap creek wild fire

    the title pretty much says it all.  We were evacuated 2 days ago, but I can't find any details on it apart from what the Rangers told me when evacuating. It was roughly 2 miles behind the campground and had spread about 5 acres.  Should be able to gather more info tomorrow when everyone's at...

    Stopped with guns in vehicle [was: Another gun thread]

    I've just got a couple quick questions regarding being stopped with guns in the vehicle. I've been pulled over 3 times in my life, and every time I've been asked if I have any alcohol/drugs/guns with me. I have a CPL for Michigan which is valid in most states I'll be traveling in, so that's...

    Golfing

    Golf is a new hobby of mine I picked up a couple years ago.  Love the game, but absolutely suck at it.  I'm debating if I should take my clubs with me once I leave. Do any of you on the road golf now that you're out and don't have the home to store the clubs? Seems like it could be a potential...
