    Winterizing water storage

    The deck plate also makes it much easier to fill the tank from a 5 gallon water jug. Previously, I had to use a funnel to pour the water into a small spigot type opening. Now I can just pour it into the hatch.

    What's in your driveway and what is your overlanding vehicle strategy?

    Nice van! Is it a Quigley 4wd?

    The hatch is water and dust tight. It works great.

    The Perfect Camp Stove

    We love our Genesis. Burners are very adjustable, from barely simmering to smokin' hot, and the stove is nice and compact. Kinda pricy, but worth it for us. We got it on sale about 4 years ago.

    Help me repair my ARB Compressor

    Thanks! That sounds like it could be a possibility. I’ll check it too.

    Help me repair my ARB Compressor

    Thanks Mike. I just meant that the electric motor runs, I don't think it's making much if any compression. I'll check those items when I pull the compressor.

    Help me repair my ARB Compressor

    The only valve I see on the schematic is the overpressure valve, which opens at 180 PSI. I don't think this is open because I couldn't hear any obvious leaking of air. The valves at the 2 hose quick-connects appear to be working as expected. If you're thinking of something else, please...

    Help me repair my ARB Compressor

    I will pull the compressor and disassemble when I get back from Phoenix in a couple weeks. I will update then.

    Winterizing water storage

    I like Road's procedure. One thing I did was install a marine deck plate on top of the tank so I can reach in and get the rest of the water out (which I agree is probably not necessary). It also allows me to clean out the bottom of the tank, something that was impossible before.

    The Quest for the Best Knife.

    I forgot to mention that for the camp kitchen I do have a full-size chef's knife and a serrated bread knife. I'm so used to them at home that I figured why make camp cooking harder than it needs to be?

    What is the best way to water proof my roof mounted lighting harness?

    These are the way to go if you need to put a hole in the roof. And definitely take his advice on drilling, too.

    That's worth a try too. I figured there'd be more people here, so more compressors...

    Help me repair my ARB Compressor

    I should have included this in the original post, but I forgot. The compressor would start up and seemingly run fine, except for no, or very little air output. Then, at some point it would start pumping air. It seemed to happen randomly, but took longer and longer to start pumping air as the...

    Help me repair my ARB Compressor

    Thanks, I'll take a look. I've already got an underhood mount and an ARB double which I will put in the van. I don't think where Sportsmobile put the compressor under the van was the best choice. It gets really dirty under there. When I pull the single, I'm hoping to fix it and then put it in...
