    Needed more space?

    Saw this rig at Walmart today. Must have outgrown&nbsp;the van.&nbsp;Guess the owner could be a hoarder.<img src="../images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" alt="" align="absMiddle" border="0" /> Nice setup though.

    Bare bones lightweight truck campers

    &lt;P&gt;Ran across this site &lt;A href="http://capricamper.com/models.html" target=_blank&gt;http://capricamper.com/models.html&lt;/A&gt;&nbsp;and thought I'd pass it along for those interested in an economical slide-in truck camper. The Ranchero model really caught my eye with it's $2865...

    Gold prospecting

    <P>Noticed that highdesertranger and willy mentioned they were prospectors on another thread and thought I'd ask about the gold mining claims available on ebay. I've seen 80 acre claims (on BLM land in AZ and NM) go for $400 to $1500 and wondered if anyone was actually finding any gold on them...

    Kayaks

    <P>Mention was made about&nbsp; kayaks on another thread and got me to wondering who has one, what type, what do you use it for and how do you transport it? I have a 9.5 ' Heritage Featherlite that I use for exploring and fishing. Carry it on the Yakima rack on my camper shell or if I'm using my...

    Powdered Eggs

    <P>The thread on milk reminded me of using powdered eggs and wondered if anyone has any experience using them outright&nbsp;to make scrambled eggs or in cooking other dishes. I ate quite a lot of them in the Navy and developed a liking for them. The scrambled eggs you get at McDonalds tastes...

    Porta Potti Antifreeze?

    <P>How do you keep the water in the upper part of your porta potti from freezing when you're away from your rig when it's below freezing (of similar concern is beverages and canned goods like soup, etc). </P>

    Horseshoe or cargo trailer vent

    <P>Noticed this vent on the side of the newer cargo trailers and thought that they may be useful on the side of a van, older cargo tailers, camper shells, etc. The ones I saw on the cargo trailers were faced forward toward the tow vehicle on&nbsp;one side and the other was faced rearword on the...

    Musty Smell

    <P>Got&nbsp;my old army surplus sleeping bag out yesterday to use in my camper shell, but it had a faint musty smell. Washed and dried it, but the smell is still there. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem? <img src="/images/boards/smilies/confused.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"></P>

    Camper shell window tint

    <P>I currently have a&nbsp;fiberglass&nbsp;camper shell on my Toyota Tundra and was brainstorming on how to block all light coming from the inside with window tint or whatever. Would like to park overnight without anyone knowing I was inside. Even thought about lining the windows with reflectix...

    COLEMAN PowerChill 40 Quart Electric Travel Cooler

    <P>Was wondering if additional insulation could be added to the exterior of this cooler to lower the temperature inside to well below the 40 degree below&nbsp;surrounding &nbsp;temperature that Coleman claims? Has anyone ever tried this and if so, what were the results.&nbsp; <A...

    Hi Guys

    <P>I've been lurking around for awhile and thought I'd finally say hello. I'm retired and hope to do some traveling out west soon to see as many national parks, monuments, etc. that I can. I currently have a Travel Lite truck camper (1300 lbs)&nbsp;on my Toyota Tundra 4x4, but I'm thinking about...
