I don’t know all the brand names for roof racks. The one I bought for $100, seems to have been “Farm-made”, but I have owned commercially made contractor racks on trucks I’ve owned in the past. Most extend over the cab of the truck and are NOT bolted together, but welded. They are not ladder...

Ever consider mod-ing a contractor rack? Bet you can find one on craigslist or marketplace that is sized right and strong enough to do what you want and a good price. That’s exactly what I did. I saved a grip of money even sourcing materials to make it into what I wanted, I.e. adding decking...

Not at all, and I meant no disrespect to local businesses. Part of my reasoning for doing things myself and trying to shop locally is to avoid giving my hard earned coin to support foreign companies. It’s still a hard pill to swallow when you have a sense of the intrinsic value of something and...

I took the rig today to a couple shops to get quotes for awning material. First a boat cover shop. They quoted $1500 for the awning cover and $400 for a flipping shower curtain! Next was a tent maker and custom awning shop. They couldn’t give me a quote but said they would email it to me next...

Pure Gold!

So digging around in my shed, I found an old puppy enclosure that folds down accordion style that happens to near perfectly fit along the inside perimeter of my roof deck railing. It connects by using some Harbor Freight hitch pins with spring closures. Like it was planned or something...

Sure is purdy country there!

I am hearing good things about those Partner stoves. I too have tried numerous brands and models. I have used Coleman stuff over 30 years, and Camp Chef well over 20. Like most things that old, I’ve had to do some maintenance. O-rings, regulators, hoses. Nothing major because they are...

here it is mounted, but can be removed by wing nuts inside the case

they may not refill it but they will take the expired ones in trade at the gas stations that sell them, then you pay like $25 and get a new filled tank.

Got the railing painted and the diy shower box installed, next stop take it to get the 180 awning and shower stall skinned with some rip stop canvas...

Sweet! When can we all do a meet n greet in the Boise metropolitan area?

You will have to keep us posted how you like it. I have long admired the look of those trailers.

can I ask what you bought and how they failed you? Stoves and lanterns are fairly simple devices with fairly easy repairs, which is one of the main reasons I, like many others, prefer them often times over other brands of stoves and lanterns. Perhaps I can even assist in getting them back to a...

The ratio of the feed tube to chimney should be around 1:4, assuming same diameter tube, to allow air to be pulled up the chimney vs out the firebox. I’ve made back pack sized stoves from 2inch square tube upto ones that will fit into a 30mm ammo can using 6 inch steel pipe and filling in with...

Like it was made for it!

The real plan is to fab up some round poles to throw a tarp over it...? When it’s all said and done, it may be larger than my house...

Sometimes...is for fun!

DIY crafty! I dig it! Might have to steal that one!
