Beware.<br />Be sure you understand the shipping costs involved and shipping method.<br />Some companies will not ship over 140 watt via Fed ex or UPS. &nbsp;They want to put it on a large truck and in my case that would have been over $200.<br /><br />I was able to get free fedex shipping via...

Thanks for the comments and the info on the sureflo pump. &nbsp;I'm going to the Twin Cities in the near future and will do some investigation whilst there.

I like the "sticky" idea. &nbsp;If we weren't in a walmart parking lot, then we were in state or nat'l parks because we figured we wouldn't get harrassed that way. &nbsp;Knowing where you can stay and not be in a walmart lot would be nice.... as long as the local residents in the area dont give...

I'm going to look into that idea of the sureflo pump. &nbsp;Is that a bilge pump for a boat?<br /><br />Do you turn it on and off during your shower or just let it run?<br /><br /><br />

Equally dense.<br />Maybe thats why we are best friends?

My bride and I just returned from a 3 week trip to the pacific north west to see our newest grandchild and his parents. &nbsp;Great time, great trip, and the cutest, snuggliest little bugger around.<br /><br />I pulled my minimally converted cargo trailer with my 07 Tundra. &nbsp;Averaged about...

In one of the ice fishing forums that I frequent, someone claims to have done a study, somehow, on the amount of carbon monoxide a buddy type heater kicks out Vs the screw on sunflower heaters and even the old style gas lights. &nbsp;The lights were the worse, then the sunflower heaters and the...

My bride and I stopped at a Walmart on Mullin Rd in Missoula, Mt last Thursday nite. &nbsp;Talked to the greeter and he said no problem staying 1 night and if longer I would need to talk to mgmt, but its usually not a problem. &nbsp;There were about 15 others staying also in everything from the...

We have the Big Buddy heater in our 6.5 x 16 ice shack and we have to run it on low or it gets too hot. &nbsp;By the way, the batteries for the fan last a long time.<br /><br />We also have a CO2 detector and do not have any problems with CO2. &nbsp;We usually crack a window but its as much to...

I may be all wet, but it appeared to me that once you get in kind of tough shape like my father was, then your needs become quite basic: Food, bathroom, shelter, sleep, a little tv. &nbsp;Although, maybe this is deceiving because people of my/our parents generation tend to endure rather than...

Your in my prayers as I have went through similar events in the last year. It adds stress to you and your father lives. &nbsp;Talk about it with each other...... a lot.<br /><br />What I learned is that going into assisted living and or nursing homes (have done both with my parents) is not the...

Thanks for the replies.<br />My batteries are wired to output 12 volts to the inverter.<br />The mppt controller will supply 12 volts to the batteries. &nbsp;If I remember &nbsp;correctly, there is a switch inside that you can flip for 12 or 24 volts. &nbsp;I havent got that far yet so will need...

I have now mounted a 240 watt, 8 amp, 30 volt Schott solar panel and it will lead into a 25 amp mppt controller then into 2 new 12 volt deep cycle Wally batteries (120 amp hour each, and from there to a 600 watt pure sine inverter.<br /><br />I read that there should be a fuse near the positive...

I plan to hook up two 12 volt deep cycle batteries to deliver 12 volts to my cargo trailer. &nbsp;Currently planning to use one 240 watt panel with an mppt controller to keep the batteries charged. &nbsp;Also will hook up an inverter to the battery to run a small frig.<br /><br />The question is...

Thanks for the replies. &nbsp;I checked out other sites and decided to focus on an aluminum cargo trailer. &nbsp;I used the "All of Craigslist" search and found a 6 x 12 V-nose Featherlite about 250 miles from me.<br />I am now in process of insulating the walls and ceiling. &nbsp;I purchased a...

Anybody have experience with pulling both types of trailers? &nbsp;Is the V front easier to pull, better mileage than the flat or slightly rounded front? &nbsp;Is it significant?<br /><br />How about the V nose with the top that slopes down a foot or so?<br /><br />I imagine the V offers some...

Question about these frig's:<br />As they cool the interior, do they pump heat into the cab?<br />Bob says his only runs 3 - 4 hrs/day so maybe it isn't much of an issue and might be welcomed during cool/cold days.
