    Champion Generators?

    I have a Champion 3650 watt and it works well for our 30-amp fifth wheel. It doesn't seem any louder than other non-inverter type generators. We boondock often and use this generator for a few hours each day to charge batteries and maybe watch an evening movie. I've only run the 15k BTU AC a...

    Do it all vs multiple vehicles?

    My wife is the primary kid hauler, though one of ours is about to leave and the middle one is learning to drive now and will soon be out on his own. Because the wife hauls kids, she gets more say in daily drivers and the newer vehicles. She has a 2020 cute ute (Hyundai Santa Fe), while I daily...

    Staying in a camper/trailer for a week+ at a time.

    I have to go old school and say that looks "nifty." :)

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Finished up about 40 feet of chain link to create a "run" for the kids' 4-H geese.

    Today I Want This....

    I bought my 11-year old a Bug-a-salt because of this forum. :) She loves it.

    Dodge 07 3500 Brake pad suggestions?

    I want to say I put AutoZone's Duralast severe duty in my 2006 Ram 2500 (either that or the regular Gold). They are better than what was on it, which appeared to be factory (or at least OEM replacements).

    Non-leaking water cooler

    Kind of forgot about this until a recent Scout campout during which I remembered I how much I dislike my leaky old slip-top Rubbermaid from Lowe's. So when I got home I bit the bullet and ordered the Bulldog water dispenser from etrailer. It came yesterday. This thing is built like a tank - very...

    For Sale Craftsman cordless tools

    FWIW to a potential buyer, you can get new off-brand batteries at Amazon for a good price and put these to use. I have a comparable set that I gave to my son about a year ago. With new batteries like these, they continue to provide good service...

    Random vehicle-buying question for dealership folk

    MACU treated us really well on financing for our fifth wheel a few years ago. I had never even heard of them, but we bought the trailer in Salt Lake, so that's who they hooked us up with. Great rates and very easy to deal with. I now keep a savings account and a credit card with them.

    Good local source for used railroad ties?

    Do tell! I'm in the same boat - need some RR ties for landscaping. What are these better options of which you speak?

    Proud father moments

    From a purely fiscal perspective, even Yoda would agree you likely made the wise choice. The fun comes from the people in the camper, go make it.

    Proud father moments

    To add a little specificity - all of our kids still love going and doing in the camper. Some of our greatest family memories have been made on trips with the camper. I say do it. A few years ago we upgraded to a nicer bunkhouse fifth wheel that we all love. We use it pretty regularly and I have...

    Proud father moments

    Hard to say, and hard to generalize. I suppose we're relatively close-knit. My eldest just turned 18. The week before that, we had a great daddy-daughter day out hunting Barbary sheep. We loved it. The other two, 16 and 11, also stick pretty close at times. They all have their independent...

    Little help with vehicle audio?

    We recently did this for my daughter's truck and had to "hotwire" the truck's antenna wire to a power source to power the amp.

    Mazda had the Navajo a while back. More appropriate would be Diné.

    Political So now what

    With the exception of concealed carry improvements, the middle ground of gun control is always moving left. Those who seek second amendment freedoms have been compromising for a century, and we have lost ground most of the time. The left has no interest in common ground, they seek only to...
