as I just did a 7 day off grid camping trip I could not agree more a propane refrigerator is costly to buy but you will never regret it . used to tent never missed ice chest. only way to go .can free..ze food make ice cubes .

on another note you cant belive what some people will do . talk about gross out . we where at a dump station a few years ago. when 2 men walked by one of them picked up the flusher hose that was there and took a drink from it looked at us and then left . we were floored . still cant belive that one .

I just came back from a 7 day remote camping trip . I fill my tank with chlorinated city water . thus after bleach treating at the start of the season and flushing ,I would never know the difference. I also took 20 gallons more water in 4 5 gallon drinking water tanks. with which I twice refilled my tank with a plastic funnel and a 1 gallon bailer.

seen 3 of those clunks rotting away in my town.but now on a Toyota 4wd it would likely run . and be dependable

in the early 1970s bernzomatic sold a propane lantern that came with a red 14 oz refillable cylinder I still have it and a brass refiller . the difference in the one i have is the little bleed screw. instead of a tire valve type it is a like a 3/8 nut must be open and close with a wrench when liquid comes out. and the label says refillable. other then that I never could see any difference.

don't have to be just dogs either . at that camp I was at one of those drunks had a mule and a horse that he was letting run wild thru everybody elses place . I collared him on that yelled at me after I said are those yours tie them up. I never knew of any kind of real stockman who let his animals run loose all over the place. this was the same bunch. maybe atvs would have been helpful a little DUI arrest would be ok with me .

I used a 5000 btu stuck in the right front door window on a table made to fit in the window. in my 18 feet 78 minimax was on full hookup in pasco wa st very hot country. maybe a little lite in daytime . not bad though 75 inside 95 plus outside. stuck a small fan on the floor between the front seats to help . was very comfortable to sleep. cost of ac 100 bucks. make window plug out of lexan Velcro on out side of door. my son bought a brand new 17 foot jayco 3 years ago came with a factory mounted 5000 btu wall unit.

some jeepers and others carry a high lift jack also sometimes known as a farm jack. also refered to as a poor mans winch. combined with hevy chain . cables or even straps they are capble of some hevy pulling. I just watched a guy pull a dead 3 1/ 4 truck up on a tilt bed trailer with one.

I don't think china cares about safe standards or legalities.They could be and have been known to counterfeit bolts and mark them falsely. I worked 40 years in manufacturing. I have heard of bolts marked grade 8 but really grade 4.

well said I drove my 20R corona many years with the auxiliary pump pluged off . the diafram in those is very prone to failing . I never had any problem.

I am familiar with the point set up after some time in 1975 they do not use a condenser the points are controlled by the square box mounted on top of the coil it is called the igniter. that may be bad. unless someone has bypassed the igniter and there is a method to do that and installed a condenser. originally in case of it failing you could wire around it and install a condenser. the vintage Haynes books told how to do that. sometimes the coil does fail also.

I have and will buy the nexen sv820 and out here in the west it was I think rebranded the thunderer road ranger and sold in the 450 stores of Les SHUAB. one thing if the west biggest tire outfit or any good outfit anywhere has much trouble with a tire or a company they dump them. they don't want it . don't know if firestone ever learned that.
