Time for new shoes for the Lady! Currently running Michelin LT225/75R16 Load range E 10 ply and want to keep that kind of load range and ply. The options are making me dizzy... :D  Are Canadian produced Michelins THAT much better than something produced overseas? Willing to spend the bucks...

Friend who needs to replace a pair of deader than a doornail Interstate Deep Cycle Marine batteries...yah, yah, I know! She didn't know any better. She tried to buy better batteries only to find that they wouldn't fit under the step in the Class C (brand new, new owner, regretful owner...

Can anyone suggest what I can use to thoroughly clean a solar panel to get rid of dog urine smell. I'm the one who had my panel targeted by a loose dog up on the plateau. I ended up cleaning the panel with water 3 times to get rid of the markings it left on the panel...that part was successful...

I was exploring one of the Canadian National Historic Sites yesterday (Bar U Ranch, Longview, Alberta) and came across this battery bank and charger sitting in one of the storage sheds. Not mobile possible but still - one hugeass big battery bank! And an adjustable voltage charger!

I just stumbled across this website while trying to find some information on rest areas on the Trans Canada highway. It's something I'll be using for all over North America. It's got an amazing amount of information and coupled with Allstays and Freecampsites sites I can plan it all!... :D...

Two of us are headed for Cottonwood tomorrow. Lake Havasu weather reports show it's going up in to the 90s the next few days and it's finally warmed up in to the mid 40's at night at  Cottonwood. Not sure yet whether we'll end up south of town across from Thousand Trails Rd or up on 89B or...

Who has one and are they coming to the RTR!! Pretty please, I don't want to have to order a $40 tool to do 3 sets of connectors.

Finally, I have 4 Trojan T105 REs on order...yeehaw!! Now to find a good charger to make sure they get topped up well! I also want to put in a battery monitor (well I think I need one, don't I ??) Any advice! Oh, I have a NOCO Genius G3500 already but I'm not sure if it will keep up with the...

If this is any indication of how far I can travel in any time period...don't wait for me at the RTR, I'll be late... :D I set my original departure date for Nov. 15th. Then found out that it was a Sunday and I needed to leave town on a weekday so I could mail back my receivers for my satellite...

The van came equipped with a 12V 30W twin bulb Thin-Lite fluorescent light fixture.  It can go in the van over the kitchen counter, in the yard sale stuff or on Kijiji when I get back in the spring. Should I go with it or stick to planned LEDs? '

Can someone suggest a simple method (I need easy... :P ) of dealing with the hard drive in an ancient laptop that needs to go to recycling while I'm emptying the apartment. I have no idea how to remove the drive from the laptop and I don't think I can even boot it up. All my google searches...

Okay, we're ready for the last 2 cabinets, one on either side at the very back of the van. One will be devoted to all the electrical components including the batteries, the other will be general storage. To bring the cabinet out from the wall far enough to allow for batteries (AGM stacked on...

I'm on the hunt for 10 awg wire for my 12V wiring. Aside from the ridiculous prices here in Canada, all I can seem to find is CCA - copper clad aluminum. Is it okay to use??

I'm just about at the stage of putting in the interior roof panels. I've framed out the spot for the roof vent but have a question about the interior trim on the roof vents. Can someone measure their vent trim for me and give me a distance from the outside of the trim to the vertical part...

Would you or wouldn't you notify and pay back a small sum of money (under $500.00)that a corporation sent you because their accounting is so screwed up that they have it all wrong? Here's the scene - I cancelled annual services with a company because they and I didn't see eye to eye over their...

Okay, so before I get too far along with building out the interior I need to run some wires - they won't get hooked up yet but I want them and the holes cut BEFORE it becomes problematic. Electrical stuff is something I've always stayed well clear of - my favorite handywoman book had a chapter...

Well that went way better than I thought it would!! I handed in my notice of retirement this morning. I'd sat on it for over 2 weeks after taking months to decide if it was really what I wanted to do and changed the date several times. I could have taken my work on the road with me but in the...

I intend to invest in the 12V cooler/fridge units, probably a Whynter and have a couple of questions for y'all. According to the Whynter website it requires specific spacing all the way around and is not meant to be enclosed. I notice several of you talk of having added insulation around the...
