  1. We use a bialetti stovetop espresso maker. They take about 4 min to brew. The cup size listed for them is 2oz per espresso cup, so a 6 cup model is basically brewing 2 mugs at full capacity. The benefit of these brewers is you don't need a separate pot to boil water, nor do you need paper filters. Disadvantage is definitely limited capacity.
  2. They look great! I have been having mixed feelings after having a rear generator platform put on my 1987, but I suspect that there is more capacity here than we arealize, as long as we don't mind driving slowly. My long past experiece was with my dad weighing and figuring out how many cases of beer he could load in when we were kids. After the overhead compartment (with a case of beer) came down on my brother sleeping in the rear dinette I started to take weight limits overly seriously. Clearly they apply mostly to liquids stored in overhead compartments. I'm on a crash course of "worry less, play more" this summer. Yeah this... I'll be getting used to this soon. There is a slight adjustment from passenger car mode to "I'm towing and I'm pulling over at the next truck lane". I'll definitely be looking for ways to pull a Sportster+sidecar. It's only 750#. How much slower can we accelerate anyway?
  3. Love the buried in snow photo! Couple of questions: Did you swap front wheels or just blast and powdercoat? Are you towing the 100th anniversary 1200 sportster custom behind it? Ok, that begs a third question... isn't the 1983 a 1/2 ton rear axle? One more, you're not sleeping in the trailer's tent, right - that's just to protect the bike when you stop? --Sam
  4. I did some of the same searches that were previously returning misdirected URLs and all now worked as they should - taking me right to the forums here. Thanks for cleaning out the malicious code!
  5. Sorry for the delayed response. We have 8 days to go before we leave on a 10k mile trip from philly to LA (and back) and we are still working to get all the basic systems operational. Water pump is sucking air - looking for leaks between pump and tank. Hot water is not getting water - found bypass valves! Replaced leaking toilet and sink faucet. This has just been a wild ride. I'm going to post pics of the new generator rack we had welded on where the rear (rotted) bumper used to be. We're very new at this and it is daunting at times. I'll try to post one of the suspect searches ASAP (if they are still happening). But not tomorrow: Happy Memorial Day to all!
  6. Greetings, This is my first post here, sadly not motorhome related. We recently purchased a toyota motorhome (1987 Escaper), I have been doing a lot of google searches. The searches often show a result from these forums BUT nearly always get redirected to a URL that is not this site (the redirect URL ends in .info; I am not going to post the redirect URL for safety). I have since stopped clicking any google returned search result and manually copy + paste the genuine URL as listed into the browser to get to the relevant page. I also simply bookmarked this site and access it directly rather than google it. There is definitely a problem here and it is fairly sophisticated - seemingly embedded into google search results but showing a clean toyotamotorhome.org link location in the status bar. Regular users of the forum/site would notice nothing, since they aren't clicking in via search strings. I browse the web from linux for safety, and each time I encountered the attack site, I was able to disable javascript and close the browser with no worries of an infection. Unfortunately, I can offer no suggestions on how to fix this but wish you luck. This is an extremely informative community! --Sam
