My old truck 1994 Dodge CTD - 2WD - single cab long bed - automatic w/ loaded Grandy. 35 gallon tank -- 18 mpg +/- 630 miles. Most I ever actually drove was right at 600. I was too scared to see how much fuel I really had left. New ride 2002 Chevy Duramax diesel. 4wd Crewcab. 35 gallon tank -...

I used to wear Danners -- but got a bad pair that leaked right away. I got pissed and quit buying them. I've been using Georgia's for the last 5 years or so -- but they seem to last at most 1.5 years. By the time they start leaking they aren't worth repairing or putting a new sole on. I need to...

I did find a picture that sums up the trip:

Nice. I've been through Rockford, but never stopped or went to the lake.

Where in MN? I did some time there....

I'm glad someone liked the reference. :D

My wife is the trooper - i got to go to work during the days... My son really asked yesterday "When can we go camping again?" He is nuts! We took his bike and her trike and they would just ride and ride. They didn't seem to notice the weather. We just kept them mostly dry and they were happy...

I charge from mutiliple source all the time. Solar - truck alternator - stand alone plug in smart charger. They all have some type of overcharge control so I don't worry about it...

Not really a van, our 1993 FWC Grandby, but really a river Champoeg State Park is right on the Willamette… Where to begin… I just wrapped up an unplanned 10 day ‘camping trip’ in my FWC. Not just me, but my wife and 2 kids (3.5 year old son and 1.5 years old daughter). We were homeless for 10...

I spotted someone driving north through Newport as I was headed south on 101 on Saturday 9/21. The camper looked to have silver'ish sides? It looked pretty sweet! I was in a white crew cab Chevy with an older Grandby with a couple kids trikes/bikes on the back....

Sounds like the rain is a non-issue. B) I use 303 on my boat canvas so I'm good to go. Now to figure out what I think I need and how to make it work for my use. More crawling around this great forum. UglyScout - I'm just down the road from you in Mac. :) If you want to come see an...

I've had zero issues and my popup is almost 20 years old... I'd buy another!

Nice!

I paid $1500'ish for a mostly working 1993 Grandy. I had to put another $500 into it to make it 100% ready to roll - But I will be keeping it until it falls apart! It took me 3 months and calling/emailing on every popup of any make that came up on Craiglist within 100 miles. The one I bought...

I've tried to drive to a few tower sites in the winter with my 4x4 club -- going 1 mile can sometimes take hours, but we don't go alone so the chance of getting stranded like these guys is zero... The little snow cats they have are pretty cool though! This: Turns into a lot of this 125' at a...

Those look really nice! I used Reflectix over my windows, it gives them an interesting look from the outside. :blink: X2. I have pieces for all the windows and they store nicely under the upper bunk mattresses.

AWESOME!!! I wish I needed this...

Congrats!! Chris, KF7FBS

I've been voting by mail in Oregon since it was started and I have never read those instructions -- that is funny!

.The Oregon St park campgrounds are very nice and might be open that time of the year. Hope this helps. Frank All of the Oregon State Parks at the beach are open for camping in the winter - and pretty much empty. The trip sounds totally doable. Get some tire chains, learn how to put them on...

I like it! I don't want one, but I can appreciate it.

I love my 12v compressor fridge. I can not see myelf ever going back to a 3-way. I'd do a built in like the isotherm above if I had a few more bucks.

I wish my kids would sleep..... :(

I was in the market for a crew cab pickup 1.5 years ago and looked at the Dodge 'Crew cabs' - my budget did not include the mega cabs or the 2009 and newer bigger crew cab models. I could not fit an infant car seat behind the drivers seat and have much room at all for the driver. And a forward...

When 4 wheeling with a heavy diesel - keep it moving and keep the RPM's up a little higher than you think you should. Lugging it at 1200-1500 leaves you in kind of a crappy spot - when you need to 'move' you have to spool up and then risk spinning a tire or not moving fast enough and getting...
