Wikicamps app

Duck Dodgers ·
I downloaded the Wikicamps app the other day for my laptop, Android tablet and phone. I am not one who usually pays for a phone app but this time I did (there is a free version with ads). This is a great app for trip planning. In July we are heading to Glacier and then do a little Gem mining in MT and ID and then from there we are heading to OR for some Ghost Town exploration. This app made it a breeze to plan our route and find campgrounds to stay in. It has links for all the listed...

Re: Informal Lance Get Together at Woods Canyon Lake AZ "Aspen Campground" - June 2018

Rob Monsipapa ·
I thought I already replied but I'm looking and don't see it.... Sorry for the delay. These are non-electic (hook-up) sites. The camp ground has a number of locations within the camp ground to fill up with potable water so that's nice and on the way out there is a dump site for $7.... Generators are allowed, we carry one just in case but reply on our solar panels, love the solar panels! Each site has a paved pad, a picnic table, a grill and fire pit. If we don't get a good amount of rain...

Bissel 3 in 1 vacuum

SilverHooligan ·
I've been using this vacuum in my TT for almost a year now. (I'm a full-timer.)  It's light weight, versatile, and, fits underneath the bed. I have two dogs and a 4 x 6 rug in the kitchen area so it's been put to the test.  It's strong enough to pick up the dog fur, but I can still vacuum small area rugs at the door and in the bathroom without them getting sucked up into the vacuum. The handle with vacuum, sans floor attachment, is great for getting the edges...

Re: Nature's Head Composting Toilet

Grumpa, I can only second everything KeePee has said. It was the first mod I did on the 1995. Also if it goes a little dry on you just dump the coffee grounds in it every so often. No smell, no dump station needed. If really needed you can keep one of those "blue" sanitizing bars in the bathroom for that realistic black tank smell LOL. Sorry I actually thought about taking a picture last time I dumped it. I have used the moss and or coconut fiber, in ours I like the coconut fiber best and...

I will admit that the head takes up some precious bathroom real estate. The size did give me some challenges with the installation. Up here, there is either no dumping where I camp, or a single dump station where there is often a long line. If I was camping in full service sites routinely, the expense and hassle of the mod would have ruled it out for me. Though now that I've used it, I'd want it in any RV simply because I find it more pleasant. (I know that sounds pretty silly, but it's ...

I saw them all a while back. I showed them to my DW last night. We are leaning toward Natures Head. It appears to have more what we are looking for. The big issue for me is can it easily convert to allow the liquids to dump into an on board tank. I'll probably end up calling when I get a chance. A few of the youtube videos we watched last night showed toilets that I wouldn't want to use. One was absolutely were filthy, and so was the language of the hostess.

You are correct. The advantage is that I could revert back to the jug on the front of the Natures Head for collecting the liquids if I need and then circumvent collection of the black water liquids in the gray tank. I see it as affording me the best of both worlds. If I have collected urine in the gray water tank I plan to dump at a designated dump site. That is not to say that once urine is collected in the gray water tank I will forever thereafter dump the gray tank at a designated dump...

I have a 1995 on order and want to install a Nature's Head composting toilet. Do you have any hints, comments, etc on the installation in the 1995? The bathroom is small and there isn't a lot of space around the standard toilet. Did you have any issues in getting it to fit? Ideally I would like this to be one of my first mods so that the black tank is "pristine"

I also have a composting toilet thanks to Kaypee, so far my wife and I love it, me mostly because it is a quick dump into a garbage bag after many days of use. Yes as a beer drinker I do have two urine liquid bottles. Some day we will have to figure the liquid intake/outgoing LOL. I have done mod's on our NH to make it bathroom friendly for a 1995 which are posted on the "resource forum". Our black tank has never used.

We had a composting toilet in our boat. I think you're going to like it - they work great! ...and no more searching for a "pump-out", Oh, I mean "dump" station (we're land lubbers now - almost forgot!)

Big E's List Of Recommended Camping Stuff

Big E ·
I thought I would make a list of stuff, products that have worked well for us. Some of the items are fan favorites, tried and true and widely used and accepted across the LOA spectrum of members. Others are little known, sleeper products if you will. Some have been passionately debated and others, not so much. Hope this list can be of use to somebody. To start things off simple, toilet paper. White Cloud Green Earth available at Wal Mart. Broke down more quickly than every other TP I tested,...

Re: Torklift Lower StableLoads on a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 towing a Lance 1575

Red Barchetta ·
Fully loaded rig very curvy & hilly tow test with stop-and-go traffic as well as up to 65 mph sections - Success! The 3 wedges on the fronts & 2 wedges on the rears is the perfect combo. for our set-up. Drove from Santa Rosa, CA to Bodega Dunes cg in Bodega Bay, CA with absolutely no issues. No sway (although we didn't have any to begin with), sponginess, or porpoising. The TV & TT travel as a single unit in braking, stopping, accelerating, cruising, over bumps & pot holes,...

Thetford 550P porta potti - For quick dry camping trips with no dump station access

Red Barchetta ·
We are fortunate here to camp year 'round. We dry camp 95% of the time. Much of that here in CA means no access to a dump station either. For example, our local SP cg is just 15 minutes away and we quite frequently run up there for spur-of-the-moment 1 or 2 night stays. It does not have a dump station. Nor is there a dump station anywhere in between our house and there. Our local fairgrounds does have a dump station and it's only $5.00, but it is out of our way and really silly to have to...
