Maybe, but I would buy toilet paper off Amazon if it only had 6 reviews

The main thing with solar is to consider what all you want to power and then figure out how much battery and solar you would need to power those loads for the amount of time you would want. As mentioned above, ACs are pretty much a no go unless you spend $$$ for a lot of panels, lithium batteries and big inverters. For our trailer, I primarily wanted to be able to run the furnace and lights for ~12-14 hrs off of the battery. I installed 2 6V 230AH golf cart batteries for storage, a 20A output MPPT solar controller and have 2 100W solar panels. I will probably add a 500 W pure sign wave inverter to be able to power a couple of AC outlets. It really won’t be able to do much other than power a laptop and TV but that’s about all the AC loads I would like run off off batteries anyway. The microwave would be nice but most take a 1.5-2K inverter to get it started and those are a bit more expensive that I would want to spend. Solar Powered RV’s and Boondocking is a good FB group if you are considering adding solar to your RV and want to see some installations and ask questions.

We generally put our trailer in our driveway overnight after a trip to clean the inside, empty food, and wash bedding and towels. We them put them back in the trailer before hauling to storage. I also pull the water tank drain and empty it and refill propane if needed. If I had easy access to my trailer (ie stored at home) I would close it up, leave power turned on and put a small dehumidifier in it running continuously and then check on it periodically to drain out.

Sorry for your loss Bert. Fuck cancer! Lost my mom in 2017 to a NH lymphoma.

Hit my local Academy this morning right and 9am and walked in the door right behind the ammo waiting line. Walked to the gun desk area looking for reloading components and found quite a few boxes of steel cased Monarch 9mm,380 and 45 there along with a 200 rnd box of Win 5.56. Had a hundred or so boxes of 12 ga some 20 and the ubiquitous 28ga (limit 10 boxes on shotgun) . Gathered up the 200 count box and a few boxes of 12 ga and turned back to the register line. Still had enough boxes there on the mobile cart to grab a Blaser brass 9mm. Even had 10 or so boxes of 30-06 core-lokts left. Maybe supplies are starting to catch demand.

It wasn’t the watches, or the boat or even the car but damn man, way to kick a guy when he’s down. Also, working out some tension while watching a Sara Jean Underwood yoga videos is about the closest I’ve came to yoga.

Seen this on a hunting forum. Dude followed his lab around for a week collecting ripped benjamins complete with pics. ETA: and there they are.

Bass Pro website advertises the 22LR for $499 but no stock.

First airplane flight I ever took was a DFW-NRT nonstop riding in the back with a bunch of Japanese folks who smoked like chimneys. Only to be surpassed by a flight from Beijing to Harbin flight a few years later where I might have been the only non smoker on the flight. Plane musta looked like Spicoli's van when they cracked the doors.

Here's a pretty good primer on M1 and M2 ball ammo and the differences and some related load data. I've loaded a bunch of 165gr Sierra Matchking ammo in Lake City brass to be equivalent to Federal Gold Medal Match 30-06 165grn ammo. Works great in an M1. Garand M2-Ball-Facts-vs-Myth.pdf and M2 ball just for grins

Might want to give it a few more years ...

My requirements where: TT w/10K GVWR or less, 25-30' cabin length, 1 large slideout with couch/dinette, bunkhouse, outside shower, outside kitchen. We shopped several different brands that has similar floorplans but didn't like the interior decor and styling. Once my wife started looking at the Grand Design's it was pretty much a foregone conclusion we would buy one of them. We ended up with the GD Imagine 2800BH. Great floorplan for us even as empty nesters. Can sleep 4 others as singles and alot more if you are small and friendly with your bedmate. Couch and dinette on slideout makes the inside feel huge when the slide is out. We can get to the bathroom, cabinets and fridge with the slide in from the rear door, unless we are parked in our storage building and too close to the walls where we can't drop the rear fixed step. In that case, I can open the slide about 16" and use the front bedroom door to access all of the trailer. GD's Imagine 2500RL comes close to checking all your boxes in a 30'oal and the Imagine 2910BH does the same with an addition of the bunkhouse which you might not want. If you can deal without the walk through bathroom the 2600RB almost the same as ours but with out the bunks and the bath turned sideways. https://www.granddesignrv.com/showroom/2021/travel-trailer/imagine/floorplans

Haven't seen any with 24 or less. Maybe BIBE at the Basin but that's more a function of getting up the road into the basin. Most of the bigger parks I see the limit as 30' or less. Our trailer cabin 32' oal but only 28' for the cabin and I think that 28' is the measurement that I would use when considering a site. Are the rangers coming around with a tape measure and checking length to the inch?

Needs more guns and bait.

Could have been my first truck. '65, stepside, 283 with 3 on the tree. If you see it again, go look and see if it has a bullet hole in the hood and fenderwell on the passenger side.

Thread not complete until you bitch about status of clothes to be folded.

As noted already, it’s probably overkill but I would use a 6x6 for the on post as it’s easy to notch and still have enough material to screw the out board joist and rim joist beam into it. Something like this.

Yeah this sucks. Hope the weather can help quench this fire. https://www.nps.gov/bibe/learn/news/firefighters-aided-by-weather.htm
