    Fun times coming

    Bullet proof, but you'll need a 50A plug for that. I had the hobart version (AC/DC) and ran it off of an adapted dryer plug. Every time I stuck a rod, the breaker would pop. But then, maybe you'll never stick a rod :)

    Trading a RTT for a high quality ground tent?

    The Kodiak 8x9 weighs in at about 55 lbs, has room for two big cots and a table between. Also has a second door and an awning over 1 door (that I've never used).

    Trading a RTT for a high quality ground tent?

    As long as I have the space and weight capacity I'll never go back to sleeping on the ground (or floor if rooftop). I took notice of DAA setting up and tearing down on our Wendover to St. George trip and have adjusted my camping gear accordingly. I opted for the 8x9 Kodiak over the 7x8...

    toilet ???????

    In a typical toilet, the water in the bowl is the trap that prevents sewer gasses from getting into the house. If you don't replace the toilets with something that is designed to do that function while dry then you must keep the water in the bowl. Vegetable oil would dry up and gunk on the...

    Which rv/5th wheel solution for full time?

    Not sure, but I'm guessing the gray volume would overwhelm a composting toilet. Or not, maybe they have models designed to handle that.

    Which rv/5th wheel solution for full time?

    Steve, Something I just thought of that might be important to you is fresh/gray/black water tank capacities. Without sufficient tank capacity, you are limited in how long you can stay away from civilization. There are portable tanks so you wouldn't have to hook up and move the trailer, but they...

    Which rv/5th wheel solution for full time?

    Steve, A couple things to watch for... Airstreams tend to be very heavy and you want about 13+% on the tongue for stable towing. Not an issue for a 3/4 or 1 ton. That, and trailer rated tires are typically rated for a MAX of 65 mph. I pulled my trailer (8' wide, 12' high, just over 8200#...

    temorary housing reccomendations between houses?

    One other possibility. Put an ad on KSL that you would like to sublet an apartment for however long you need it. Perhaps someone wants to move but has that number of months left on their current lease. Not as simple as a month to month but could end up cheaper (you pay a premium for monthly)
