Two things I hate about my Gladiator when camping!! 1) The headlights turn on every time I open a door. This will really piss off those nice tent campers next to you in the middle of the night. 2) The damn horn sounds every time I lock my truck. Those poor campers are really upset at me now...

Ran into a fellow Overlander and Mountain Biker this morning. He’s been living in his truck for 6 months and slowly working his way from California eastward. And I thought I used my camper a lot!

Post some good pics along your route! I haven't ventured west of Wyoming or Colorado with my rig yet.

Guess this is the last night I will need the heater for the season. I had the diesel heater on the lowest setting and outside it was 50 degrees. Inside was cozy. Looks like it’s going to be a great day.

Another beautiful weekend.

Yep, St.Louis is a great place to pick up cheap hail damaged vehicles.

I've become a fan of small electric skillets, since I don't like flames inside my camper. They work great with a small power supply. Instead of a lot of dishes, I just wipe out the non stick surface with a paper towel or wet nap when I'm done. It's a burner, pan, pot, skillet with a lid all...

During a power outage a few years ago, I ran down to the local hardware store and bought this 3000watt inverter generator. It's small enough to lift around, fits nicely in the camper, runs really quietly (outside), and is fuel efficient. Running my large home Fridge, box freezer , lights and...

Here are the paths of the tornadoes through Missouri last Friday.

Just like camping at home! Missouri was hit pretty hard last Friday by tornadoes. A tornado barely missed my home, but it managed to take out electricity, internet, and cell phone coverage for thousands of households, including mime. 5 gallons of gas, a generator, electric power supply, and...

About 25 deg. F this morning and the diesel heater kept me toasty warm all night.

Love this weather. Mountain biking and camping around 40 degrees F. Best of all no bugs!

Broken door strap check: So on a cold day a couple weeks ago my driver door only openned a couple inches. I forced it open thinking it was only ice and I heard a crack. Looks like the door strap tensioner shot craps. Now it works like crap. I ordered a new one for $17, but the install...

Uhg..... On a cold day, my driver door would only open a few inches. I forced it open and heard a crack. Now my check strap works like crap. Looks like I have to replace it also. If i just unbolt the front of it for now, will I still be able to use the door? Also where do I buy a replacement?

After mountain biking and 4 wheeling this weekend in 20-40 deg. F weather I'm reminded of something. Driving or riding on 20 deg. frozen ground is great, right up until it thaws! The dirt trails got pretty muddy/slippery when the temps climbed to 40 deg. later in the day. 😬

Beautiful day for a little trip to the river this morning. It was still pretty slippery on the hills due to all the leaves on top of the mud. The diff locks worked great climbing up the slick hills.

Add heated seats and I'm in!:CWL:

I'm 6'2 and 220lbs. Is it big enough?

This thing is the swiss army knife of toilets! Bag it, compost it, or liquid chemical.

Looks like the cheapest option for a composting toilet on the market! Nice.
