    Help me decide Dometic or Snomaster fridge?

    I have the CFX65W. I have only used it for a week on an putting. It performed flawlessly. I am sure there are cooling coils in the walls, not just a bottom plate. You can see them and feel them very quickly after turning it on. I was running about 14 hours a day of a Kirkland deep cycle and the...

    FOR SALE Roof top tent-Ontario-Canada

They have a few upgrades which is reflected in the price. My location is near London, Ontario Annex is...

    Dog in camper shell?

    Keeping dogs in the front is the best...but if I get out...just to chat with someone beside the truck I always open the window enough to get my arm in to unlock the door. It likely won’t happen on the Taco, but I used to have a dodge. Jax likes to put his feet up on the door...right where the...

    Pelican Case Alternatives

    These are made in Canada and are at least as good as a Pelican. I own both. They also ship to the US for no extra cost...and with the exchange they are that much cheaper! https://www.hardcases.ca Sent from my iPad using OB Talk
