I have a '98 Club Wagon with a 5.4l. I've owned it from 32k miles to the current 187k miles. I've spent less money on repairing it than on my '06 Honda Element I bought new. It has only 130k miles. My mechanic has owned a couple of the e150 vans of the era. He services many fleet vehicles. He...

I am planning on pulling a cargo trailer with a van. The trailer will be like a home base with lots of storage, but also built out for camping. Probably between a 7' x 14' to a 8' x 16'. I'll likely use the trailer in the winter and maybe a little in the fall and spring. I'll spend a lot of...

I am not sure this is the best place in the forum to post this, so admins please move it if necessary.  It is a really nice site to find and download National Park Maps.  Have Fun Browsing and downloading. http://npmaps.com/parks/

I was at the local Walmart yesterday and saw a collapsible silicone cup in the camping section for $1.88. It looked similar to the one in the link. If holes were drilled in the bottom it would become a compact coffee filter holder. It was just the right size for it. I'll probably pick a couple...

HDR, It is CargoMate by Forest River. I've heard nothing good about recent FR products.

I've been using cloth coffee filters for 20 years. The only draw back is cleaning them. You need soap and water. I can't find the one I use online. I bought 5 or 6 years ago. It is rare to see them at any land based store. The cloth on mine is nylon, but the cotton ones should work.  These...

That is a very nice tent, but $700 is way more than I'll spend for a privacy shelter. It also has a floor and is made for sleeping. It has a separate rain fly. The pop-up features, wind resistance, tall head height, absence of a permanent floor, and under $250 are all pluses for me and are...

FWIW regarding the airplane blunt noses - Jets don't have blunt noses. https://www.google.com/search?q=jet+planes&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=638&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjx8aWPjJ_SAhVKx2MKHVvaDEYQsAQIXA

If I get a privacy shelter it will be the quality/size/cost similar to the one posted by HighDesertRanger, about $100 to $120.  The ice fishing shelters are made to keep fisherman out of the wind while fishing on wide open lakes. Resisting wind is their intended purpose. I don't mind paying...

Hi Everyone, The privacy shelters I've seen look like they won't hold up to the elements long, especially the wind. Ice fishing shelters look like they are made much better, and some of them don't cost much more than a good privacy tent. Most are over 6' tall. There are many sizes and...

Hi drewker, This is a little late but someone may find it useful. It is my first post (of many, I hope). I saw this thread and thought I'd chime in with my experience in the area. I've done a lot of camping in the Briceburg area off Hwy 140 between Mariposa and Yosemite. Briceburg road is...
