Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
I haven't put it through a lot yet but I would say it's pretty solid for an awning that does not have legs. Up in looking at it, you could easily add adjustable legs to the ends of you wanted to and could source them.

I have a York engine driven compressor on my truck but I need to rewire it, and get better hose to plumb it, but I needed something for my latest trip over Mojave road.. So I bought the mv50. At the end of our trip, I aired up all my tires from 25 to 55 psi then aired up a friend's from 30 psi...
Someone pick this up. I paid full price for the same one, and imho it's totally worth it even at full price. At this price, it's a steal.

Colin, it was such a pleasure to camp with you and Esperanza for the duration of the trip. I am glad to have made friends with you and her. Sounds like you guys had an awesome trip after the Mojave road portion!

My maintenance schedule is pretty easy to follow.. I follow what it says in the manual. 20k between oil changes (diesel), change manual trans fluid every 50k and diff fluid every 50k. Its time to do all of those things to the truck again.. Uggh.. Now the question is, do I do it myself or do I...
We use a couple wagan 220 portable lights. They are rechargeable via usb port and they have a built in usb plug in to charge your electronics while in the tent.

Yeah they are fine tuning stuff with the awnings so far. My awning was ordered from www.aidenjamescustoms.com on Feb 26th and I got it today, March 31. So the long lead time is accurate.. So far though I am happy with it, especially for the price.

I agree the brackets look like poop.. But.. They are strong enough and you can't see them anyway with the awning mounted... They aren't pretty but they will work...

My arq awning finally arrived after some delays from dhl, who quite honestly is probably the worst shipping company on the face of the planet. The box arrived destroyed but luckily the only thing broken were the plastic end caps to cover the holes in the awning poles, which is no biggie to me...
Turns out my oldest daughter has a dance recital that weekend, so I can't go :( I was really looking forward to this one too, since I've never been to Monache.
Looks like the link has expired. Since my arb took a Crap I was looking to buy one of these... Guess I'll scour craigslist

Who's ready for another trip? I need to go back out there.. And preferably go mess around in the dunes section a little more.

Well besides fuel I was forced to purchase a coleman 60qt cooler and 50 lbs of ice... Since my arb fridge took a dive the day before the start of the Mojave road trip. Not really happy about that and I don't have the money to replace it currently.

Just added all my photos to the album. Great idea on putting together a shared album! Also thanks for all your hard work on the patches and stickers. Can't wait to see the patches, bummer they couldn't arrive before the trip.
