My eagerly anticipated Nature's Head composting toilet arrived in the mail yesterday.  I unpacked it as fast as I could so as to fine tune my installation plan before the weekend.   I was very impressed with the sturdiness of the...

Let me start of by saying that I am in no way affiliated with Hitches & Things and do not stand to make $.01 from any sales of this item. I did pay for the design fees for this custom made hitch so that the LOA community could buy a Lance hitch cover. I purchased this from Trevor who is the owner and operator. Per his website, "Hitches & Things is based out of Chehalis, WA. It is a company owned and operated by a disabled veteran who is proud to support a variety of charities across...

I recently installed the AP Products Slimshade Door Windows on booth doors on my 2017 2185. Total install time was about 30 minutes for two windows. You will need some painters tape and a helper to hold the glass while you tighten the screws. I love the look of all tinted windows and being able to be able to see out of the doors adds an open feeling. The built in shade is great for privacy and keeping sunlight out. I purchased on Amazon for about $90 a piece. I highly recommend the windows.

It would be great if someone (you know who you are) would start to build a timeline for all the events and meals and stuff like that, both optional and 'you can't get out of it' kinda things. We ask, because at some time, we're going to have to semi-plan for meals not catered (such as private times and pot lucks) and time not being spent with the group. For example, we'd like to visit the 20 Mule Team Borax museum in Boron, 'cuz 1) it's interesting, and 2) Simon works with a fella who spent...

We have been hauling our new Clam throughout the PNW. Set it up once at the SCIO rally just to check it out and reaffirm I could pop it up in less than 5 minutes. LOL This screen room is a great mosquito repellent. They seem to see it laying on the table and fly away. Since purchasing this Clam, mosquitos have been pretty much non existent. When we were at Fort Stevens SP, someone had a very similar structure that came from Cabelas. Same pop out panels and roof but it also had window flaps...

Disclaimer, this post is for those who like to stay connected while traveling/camping, which I know not everybody does..... We were in search of a laptop with extended battery life to use while traveling/camping. The searching brought me to the Lenovo T560. This laptop has 2 batteries, one is built in and the other is removeable. Having two batteries means you can hot swap the removable battery, which also comes in different sizes. Choosing the larger (72 watt hour) removable battery gives...

So...I finished programming the 120EZ. I tuned it to El Paso County, Colorado, where we live. I set it to give warnings for high winds, violent storms, tornadoes, flash floods, fires, and wild fires since we get plenty of those. I turned off the alerts for coastal storms, hurricanes, and coastal tide warnings since I haven't seen many of those in Colorado. I opted for the three minute voice warning, which is preceded by 8 seconds of alert tone. Doug is right, the alert tone is rather loud. I...

We've hemmed and hawed for 7 years or so on getting a kayak. Hard shell? Sit-on-top? Inflatable? Transporting? Solo or tandem? ?? We've rented at least 20 kayaks over the years and still couldn't make up our minds. In fact GRUMPA, BMJ, myself, and a few others have gone around and around about the subject here on LOA for 4 or 5 years. GRUMPA & BMJ both bought inflatables - Sea Eagle's (sweet kayaks!) - while we kept languishing over the choices and our needs. Well, we finally decided to...

By cheap, I mean only in price.  These Cree LED Flashlights are the bees knees when it comes to brightness (wide angle and also narrow angle) They retail for - HOLD ON:  $3.55 each - Free Shipping   I usually buy 7 or 8 at a time and I...

After experiencing my first tire blow out which caused $4500 in damage to my truck, I was in a fairly emotional state and willing to spend some money. During the process of changing to my under inflated spare, I discovered my current tire inflator was inadequate. I went shopping for a better one and decided on the VIAIR 400P Automatic. Automatic meaning it has a pressure switch and shuts itself off after the air hose is pressurized. The unit comes with a coiled air hose, a nice tire inflator...
