RE: NorCal Mini Truck Camper Rally - April 2023
Just arrived to spectacular scenery, light clouds and mostly sunny. Spent last night on the Sacramento River about 25 minutes away. Lassen, Shasta and peaks towards the Trinities are covered in snow.
No need for weed wacking, the grasses are still low with wild flowers mixed in.
See you guys here-

RE: NorCal Mini Truck Camper Rally - April 2023
Robert, we would like to take advantage of your offer of an early check-in. We have a friend within walking distance of your property and finalizing the timing of things for Wednesday or Thursday.
Can I bring up a string weed Wacker and do any site prep for you knowing how we were arranged last year?

RE: Finally Common Sense in California (No Shows at Campgrounds)
Somewhat related, we were leaving the TCA rally in Quartzsite ( nice seeing 3tons and BFFord again!) to occupy a site in Joshua Tree reserved online (the good part) however the lone individual who runs the point of sales at Cottonwood Campground called in sick. Fortunately we have the lifetime senior pass for NPs and we coasted in. Others who needed to pay for an open spot or any merch within the visitors center was out of luck. Other employees were not trained or allowed access to the register. A lot of apologies were given put that day-

RE: Where to get three nights of peaceful RV time?
We run away to Ocean Cove just north of Timber Cove Lodge. No hook-ups but some beautiful ocean bluffs to walk on and a nice restaurant across the highway ( 2 lane) with views of the ocean. Closes up for the winter, first come- first serve.

RE: Towing 4-wheels down.....braking required for vehicle?
Have the Blue Ox base plate with the NSA Ready Brute and surge brake system on a 17 2 door Rubicon. To answer the electrical question, we use the magnetic stop-tail lights from e-trailer that eliminated all wiring to the Jeep. It can eat batteries (6-AAA batteries each) but no wiring! I have a small cargo rack over the spare tire that I also velcro strap these lights to ensure they stay put. Love them-

RE: Tie Down Angle Best Practice
I know straight down is the least preferred as it can allow a pendulum type movement. I'm sure others will respond but looking at any side of your truck, a 2:00 to 6:00 position in the front with a 10:00 to 6:00 in the back would snug things down fine.

RE: Happijack Swing Out Bolt Removal?
If it's a carriage type bolt and you can turn a few threads, can you tap the bolt outward until it is stopped by the nut or washer and nut? That will give you some more surface area in which to apply another wrench ( clamping jaw type) to keep it from turning. Even 1/8" can make a difference since your biting into the edges and not the domed top.

RE: Looking for recommendations on a two bike rack
You can find assorted drops for hitch heights. I inverted a 6" drop I had to a 6" rise that fit our Jeep better

RE: Looking for recommendations on a two bike rack
He's asking to transport 2 bicycles outside the camper, not storage. There are many types of carriers that utilize different anchor points. Let's help him out-

RE: Looking for recommendations on a two bike rack
We have a Thule T2 Pro XTR that fits a 2" receiver. We have a Torklift 48" hitch extension and it clears the rear slide even when extended ( barely). You need to consider the width of your tires for some models and also weight. I believe my rack will also carry most E- bikes, something we never considered.

RE: I met Ramblin Ralph today
Had a similar experience when we had the 5th wheel. Just inside the Marin County side of the Sonoma County coast, Dillon Beach was a sort of Woodstock affair. Just pay and park it! Recognized a trailer and Expedition from a signature here while out for a walk. They be ame great friends!
Ralph has to be a super interesting guy!

RE: Insurance and RAM 5500
This might not apply to your truck now. But most likely it was shipped and sold as an incomplete vehicle. My insurance company knows the value of my custom service body plus the trucks value. It's obviously insured for the sum of both.

RE: Anyone Cancelling Truck Camper Trips Due to Fuel Prices?
Went into town last night to get a pizza and noted the price of diesel at our only station. Today it was at $7.19. A 15 cent jump in 18 hrs. Might need to pack soon and leave while we can still afford it!
