RV / Trailers / Camping

I am still old school in the fact that I do most of my camp cooking on a coleman green propane 2 burner stove. The last couple times I used it, however, I noticed that it only burned on one setting... hellfire. I tried a new regulator and am having the same issue. Has anyone else dealt with this and know where I should start poking around to fix it? I hate to buy another as it has been a good stove.

Thanks in advance!

Saw it at SEMA. Just ordered online

I hate the old 7 pin connectors.

 

Well I've gotten it to a respectable state that I can actually post pictures of it now.

 

OK,

Here goes...

Who has checked the air in the spare lately?

Honestly?

Bosslady had a bolt in her tire, like a good drone I went to her work site and pulled the suspect tire and put the spare on till I could get the tire fixed the same day.

Good Idea NO! not if the spare is almost flat!!!!

Jack is now stuck so I managed to get it out.

All Good.

CHECK THAT SPARE!!!!!!!!

I found this on craigslist. It was an old camper that he stripped down to the frame, sand blasted, and primered it. I...

 

What do you use? Do you have experience with both?

When I've camped in a tent, it's always been in a nylon tent. But I've heard that canvas tents are way better- they are easier to keep warm and don't warm up as much in direct sunlight as nylon.

I recently spent a pretty chilly night on Twin Cone inside a nylon tent. I know this could have been made better with better sleeping bags.

I've been tossing around the idea of getting a canvas tent, but storage inside my Explorer is tight-...

 

I decided it was time to pass on the old E-350 and replace it with another.

So I picked this guy up on Saturday.

- 2001 E-350 7.3 PowerStroke (does not leak!!)
- Auxiliary air-conditioning/heat under the chassis
- 13 seater (including the driver) but I'll probably change up this combo.
- Air-powered side barn doors (by far the coolest part of the vehicle)
- Wide power side mirrors
- Padded interior walls (in case I go nuts.. oh wait)
- Luggage rack (will probably be removed)

Hey to all my fellow Explorers!
Well i just purchased my first RV today and it has a few issues and i thought that just maybe some of the fellow Explorer brothers might have some insite or answers to my Newbie MotorHome questions??
Like i said this is the first motorhome that i have ever owned, and unfortunatly ive never known anyone else that has owned one to help me out, so i figured what better place to get some good-ol advice than from the best forums in the world right here.
It is a...

 

Background: I have an 05 f250 crew cab long box. I have an over-sized toolbox in it and I was wanting a tonneau cover while keeping my toolbox. I also wanted a hard top style that couldn't be cut with a knife.

I lucked out an picked up a LEER fiberglass hard top tonneau cover for a shortbox superduty for free that also came with a bedslide. I decided to section part of it out to get the length I needed to keep my toolbox (10.5 inches in this case) while keeping the "factory" cover look...

 

Seems like I can't spend money fast enough.

And why finish one project before you start another?

So that's the basic line of thinking that led me to my latest bad decision. Last night I became the "proud" owner of a 1970 Winnebago (15'). I didn't even know Winnebago made pull behind campers.

Here is where I'm going to beg those older and wiser for advice. I'm gonna need lots of it. And probably a little divine intervention.

The breakdown:
- It's a camper in the loosest...

 

Hello, I am a new member. I have a 2003 Explorer Sport 4WD, auto trans, 52K miles. We recently purchased a 27' class C motor home. Anyone out there with experience towing a like vehicle behind an RV? I know I can have a neutral switch for the transfer case installed, any other comments?

 

Hello

Here is my new truck. 06 F150 XRT.

Picked up a new 5x10 steel side trailer this past weekend. I'd like to cover or coat the top of the wheel fenders with something to protect them from when I step on them to get in and out. My first choice is Herculiner, as I am going to be coating the wheel wells, bottom half of the front, inner walls, and some other areas that were prone to wear and rusting on my old trailer. But, I wanted to see if folks recommended something else that might have a little less texture (I want it to look...

 

Saw this the other day and thought it would be a cool rig to do a 4wd conversion (and a 5.0L swap).
