RE: Nor Cold 2 way??
Works on AC but not on propane
AO airflow/draft is sufficient for removal of heat
AC Element and Propane transfer roughly the same heat energy to boil the ammonia coolant into a vapor
SO
Dirty Burner assembly
OR LP System Pressure is Low (S/B 11"WC --0.4psi. IF low the flame temp will be low and heat generated will not boil the ammonia in sufficient volume to absorb heat from food compartment)
**10"WC is 0.36 psi....can not visually tell difference between 11"WC and 10"WC. Need a manometer to measure system pressure...with at least 50% of appliances in service
Hard to believe that the burner is dirty already, but a good thing to check.
If he is traveling, unit is on propane. Side venting refrigerator when traveling are terribly inefficient. ARPRV fixed my inefficient fridge.

RE: Nor Cold 2 way??
Andy, go to ARPRV.com and purchase and install the #4 kit with dual fans and you fridge will run perfectly. My fridge in my AF 990 did exactly the same and after the install I run my fridge on setting 6 and the beer is cold and ice cream hard.

RE: I-95 rest area parking for RV
You have a 42’ diesel pusher with a pickup truck toad and you can’t stay in a campground? The rest areas are needed by over the road truckers that have to, by law, pull off the road and take required breaks.

RE: ....new truck camper manufacturer in Quebec
Jim:
They are positioning into the "expedition overlanding" cohort it appears. Competing directly with truck campers like OverlandEx here--> where pop-up truck campers start at $72,000 CAD. And competing with truck camper expedition manufacturers like Nimbl pop-up ($121,000 with flatbed tray without truck)....and many others. Buyers seem to be lined up around the block to buy them.... all.
I read on the Loki site that they are opening a manufacturing plant in Colorado, too. I'd bet that they will probably open a manufacturing facility in western Canada before too long. They will likely do extremely well. Especially these years, with the entire RV manufacturing industry working at more than 100% capacity.
I believe the RV industry will cool in the next couple of years and you will see the market flooded with slightly used RV’s, because people will go back to their old ways of travel and recreating. Because of Covid many people were looking for ways to travel and recreate that didn’t involve hotels or air travel, because they weren’t available, so they bought RV’s.

RE: Truck bed camper shim
I have the short bed I guess I can find mud flaps and slide them under the mat front and back. I did notice a pretty good rock backwards when stopping, but the truck was real low on the back and I thought that was the cause.
If the gap is in the back, just place the flaps in the back to compensate for the crown.

RE: Tranny fluid change
What about all the "OLD" ATF left in the converter???
You'll never get all the oil out, even by a professional shop
Yes you can. Fill the transmission up, according to the dipstick, remove the return line from the oil cooler, install hose fitting, start truck, pump out a gallon, refill repeat until nice clean fluid appears.

RE: Truck bed camper shim
I checked my 2015 GMC 3500 and yup a four foot level rocks about 1/8" centered over the drive axle. You can't really see it till you get down and look straight up the floor of the bed. But with a one inch stall mat would this be an issue?
There is a 1/2” difference on a long bed. I placed a 20” wide X 1/2” thick piece of rubber mat across the back of my 2015 GMC 3500 bed, on top of my bed mat, and it took the rocking motion out of my TC.

RE: National Parks entry tickets
Am I correct that Yosemite is now charging $2 to enter even with a federal senior pass?
That is the case if you are entering for day use and don't have any other reservation/permit such as a wilderness permit, camping reservation etc. The same $2 fee applies to folks who have annual National Park Passes. The money doesn't even go to the park, but the contractor that runs the reservation system.
What a joke this country/government has gone to the dogs.

RE: Heavy duty hitch extension??
I think if I was wanting to haul a truck camper and tow a trailer with that much tongue weight, I’d be looking at this:
Automated Safety Hitch
:):)
That is a great solution.

I would use the vehicle with a real transmission, the pickup truck, versus a vehicle with a CVT transmission, your Honda and Subaru.

RE: SRW vs DRW
Here is a challenge that Pickuptrucks.com ran on 2018 1 ton SRW and then 2017 1 ton DRW where they did a braking challenge from 60 MPH to 0.
1 ton SRW:
Chevy - 165.3 feet
Ford - 158.3 feet
1 ton DRW:
GMC - 133.39 feet
Ford - 139.68 feet
Imagine that.:B

RE: Rebedding jack mounting plates
Talk about removing the bolts from the jacks. Bob the former owner of Snowriver TC’s used Sikaflex on his campers and he would demonstrate how the Silkaflex would seal so good that you could do just that, remove the jack bolts and the jacks held up the camper. I would use butyl tape, tighten the bolts, let the butyl squeeze out and seal with ProFlex RV sealant. You can model the ProFlex with your finger dipped in soapy water.
