RE: PSA Annoucement Regarding Spilled Beer.....
Guess I need to keep the beer in the cab instead of the camper?
What could go wrong there?

RE: Soft Start
I also have the micro air unit on my 9k AC unit on my AF990.
Works fine even when running my 2k generator.

RE: Bigfoot 2500 Underbelly, Thoughts and Pics
In for a penny in for a pound.
Yeah I think most properly supported tanks are actually held in suspension above the bottom panel as that section is fairly lightweight and would not be able to support the full fill weight.
Oh and thanks for the video amigo!
I did end up adding the Weboost cell booster thanks to you guys at our stop in Wash, took the afternoon and it works great.
Looking forward to hopefully next year.

RE: Replacement awning fabric for a 2012 Lance 855S camper
I haven't had to replace my rear awning like the one your referring to but I have had to replace the drivers side 9' pull out waning and also the slide topper cover.
I always found what I needed from the Carefree of Colorado website.
Just call their Ph# and speak to a tech their really helpful as to help figuring out exactly what you will need.
Good luck.

RE: Turnbuckle advice
Ehh incorrect on the HJ not being spring loaded.
I have had these "fastgun" style turnbuckles and they have internal springs on front and rear.
Typically want about 1/4" of stretch when properly tensioned and set in place.
Of course you can also lengthen and shorten overall length as required.

RE: Turnbuckle advice
I went with the lower priced Happyjack “fastgun” style turnbuckles.
That being said I also went with the Torklift frame mount tie downs.
They have worked out just fine and saved a couple bucks too.

RE: Suggestion for trip to desert southwest
TenOC x 2.
Did the same route a couple of years ago I think in April.
Arches was CROWDED so we hung out in the BLM areas to the south of the Arches and north of Moab.
Lots of mountain bike areas.
Meteor crater was so so.
Petrified forest is more like a petrified field in a few places to access, Newspaper rock was ok.
Bears Ear mts are a good place to get lost in, all boondocking and fun trails to explore.
Good luck and be safe on your “postponed” adventure.

RE: Largest Lithium AMP Hour Battery - 2023 Arctic Fox 865
Yeah it does run the ac when we need it. Got a soft start so it will run on high or lo through the inverter I have.
Used to carry a 2.2kw genny around with us for the micro, coffee maker or ac but this setup handles everything just fine.
As long as I can get decent sun I can also recharge my e-bike battery after a ride too.
My 2way frig runs fine on propane. If it’s windy on the road a couple of times the pilot went out. Just turn it off then on and it relights and runs fine.
For my usage no way would I run my unit on 12vdc, if it ain’t broke…..

RE: Largest Lithium AMP Hour Battery - 2023 Arctic Fox 865
I have a 2019 AF990 and it will hold (2) group 29 L/A battery's as stated above.
I removed mine and added 560ahr of Lifepo4 in the same compartment that includes a 200a BMS Fuse block and Pos/Neg terminal boards for all connections. Even have a 1/4" foam box built around the battery's to help insulate them from cold weather and for protection as well.
Got 510w of solar on my roof also and even have a 3k PSW Inverter mounted back in the generator compartment for any 120v loads we need.
I could of removed my sliding tray or even Modified/Cut out a portion of the battery box but didn't need to as it all fit fine.
Don't really have to worry about any gases with Lithium batteries so they don't necessarily need to be in a closed compartment.
We go off grid quite a bit and never really have to worry about having availible power.
Congrats on your new rig.

RE: NorCal Mini Truck Camper Rally - April 2023
OP just wondering how many campers do you estimate will be in attendance?
We'll probably be rolling in sometime Fri afternoon as were staying the night about 300 miles south of the rally just off the 5.
Looking forward to meeting everyone.

RE: NorCal Mini Truck Camper Rally - April 2023
Thanks for the info Jim.
Yeah were just gonna head up Thurs morning and hit the 15-395-58-5 like you said and probably drive till Sacramento or so and stay the first night somewhere around there.
Then roll out Friday morning and take our time and arriving at the rally site sometime in the afternoon.
Looking forward to seeing this area up close.
I know we have a 50a, sewer, water site reserved already so life should be good.
In case you didn't get my humor I am fully aware we are on our own as far as utilities are concerned which is just fine as we're self reliant, hell we even have our own propane campfire ring. Whats life coming too....
Not sure how many campers are coming but if anyone's heading out from SD let me know and we can caravan it to some extent for support if not we'll see everyone there.

RE: No power getting to my Angler 8C, 2001
OP I have a perfectly good Charger Converter Progressive Dynamics PD9245C that I removed from my 2019 AF990 camper when I changed over to Lithium Battery’s and it’s just sitting in my garage.
If that would work for you let me know it’s yours for just the shipping cost from San Diego.

RE: NorCal Mini Truck Camper Rally - April 2023
Anybody have any info on road conditions up there in NorCal?
I know you guys were hit pretty hard with the rain and snow.
I heard Tahoe is a mess how about the area where the rally is taking place.
This will be the first stop on our way up into Oregon and Washington to see friends and relatives.
Since were down here in SD our weather doesn't really affect much as far as road closures and such.
Any info would be great.
Thanks.
